This is an excellent hobby store that I stopped by while passing through town. Inside, I found a…read moregreat selection of trains in all of the popular scales (N, HO, and O) as well as a few used pieces in S scale. There was a display layout running by the door and it was fun to watch a Big Boy snake through the layout with a long train. Note that they don't have any wooden (Brio/Thomas) trains in stock, though they did have some O gauge Thomas train sets. Since I didn't have a list of things I needed, I was most just browsing. The owner was very pleasant as I rattled off a list of one-off items and helped me locate what I was looking for. We discussed custom runs for a bit, as well as the the future of the hobby. He clearly knew his stuff, and watching him assist some new modelers with simple, direct answers without an up-sell attached was refreshing. There is a dearth of good full-service hobby shops these days, and yet this one manages to rise above. I highly recommend it.

Some of the older sets of Magic cards are very reasonably priced. They have very few board games. Instead, they have tons of collector toys!!! Absolutely amazing assortment.

I guess this is a somewhat decent card store but not a place to buy games. Oh ya don't even think about going in the back because it was occupied by a bunch of people playing dungeons and dragons or something. And the prices were complete knockoffs.

Mind Games is a great little hobby shop that has just about anything a geek or sports card nut could want. Located in downtown Oneida (not the commercial strip on route 5), Mind Games has an awesome collection of the following: -board games (awesome selection) -vintage video games -Magic the gathering cards and supplies -sports cards -other things nerds would love Seriously - you can totally geek out here. They have already placed a special order to find a game they didn't normally carry - so customer service is great. They have a gaming room out back for playing Magic and other games. As any other local business, their prices are higher than you will find on Amazon, but they need to keep the lights on somehow. Support your local small businesses!

The system was producing an intermittent high-pitched hum that I wanted addressed, as well as testing and replacing any marginal caps, resistors and transistors.

FOUR weeks later they said it was now fixed, took it home, hooked it all back up and NOTHING!! LED'S STILL OUT!! and to make matters worse, THE DAMN HUM IS STILL THERE!!
