Gunpla Builders, I would definitely recommend this HobbyTown if you’re looking for kits to build they have a wide variety. Great set up and a small area of already built kits which was really cool to see. As far as tools I would look elsewhere if you’re considering coming here in search of. For San Diego locals this spot is out of the way about a 30 min drive from central SD. Kits: Yes. Tools: No. really enjoyed the selection of model kits nonetheless.

This store is every adults favorite toy store. My boy loves to bring his car into this shop! These guys are very knowledgeable, patient, and kind to teach my son about this car. ISRAEL AND DEVIN were so helpful to us and served us with great customer service. We definitely will be back. Thanks guys.

Awesome family hobby store to visit. Store associates are always helpful and approachable. You never get that intimidating “you don’t belong here” feeling you sometimes get from more niche hobby shops. Instead, it’s a welcoming place with a huge selection of crafts and hobby supplies for all styles and skill levels. They’ve got Legos, Gundam kits, mini stuff, RC parts galore, and a great selection of model train and railroad items. My kids love coming here—especially with the mini shopping carts—and I always find something new to explore. An awesome family-friendly hobby store worth visiting!

Well, where do I start. The staff is excellent : Mark the owner , Devon tech , Mario Tech , Israel tech, all extremely helpful, the owner is welcoming, and they were , Mario to be exact, was able to fix my new Arrma Vorteks in a blink ; in addition, I even purchased a 1/8 Arrma Mojave 4s because I know if I have issues they will be able to guide me. In the following two weeks I took my Vorteks there and did my first break down under the supervision of Israel. He had a work bench set for me and asked if I had tools, which I did, and got me up and running checking in on me throughout the proces

Staff was nice, store well organized, and the only traxxas nitro car parts in town!! Lil expensive but you have to pay to play so it's a good trade. I wish there were more options for parts but the motors are becoming obsolete, so take what you can get.
