Best Model Shop Springfield Near Me

Toad: Before you shop here give them a call and ask about their return policy. Even if you spend hundreds of dollars there, they will not refund you even if it comes out of the box broken. The person I spoke to did not tell me their name or whether or not they were the owner, but he did confirm with me that if something is bought broken it is the customers responsibility even if brought back same day. There are plenty of negative reviews on their Facebook as well that will show you many examples. I understand every store can have their own policies, I just want to make sure all of my friends and families are aware of this one. If you're a big spender and you don't want to be out hundreds of dollars I would consider somewhere else.

Jessica Dodd: Very disappointed in this store. Spent over $500 on models there in the last two weeks, along with an expensive tool ($70). The tool broke during the first time of my husband using it for its intended purpose. He called the store hoping to be able to return it or at the very least get some sort of advice or help and he was told the only help he would be getting was from calling the manufacturer, and the person was even rude and very careless to my husband.The store couldn’t have cared less.This really will make us spend our money at Amazon.Definitely lost a customer who would have spent a lot of money at your store. Congrats.

William Vessels: Great place for miniature paints and puzzles. Lots of fun and smart toys for kids too

Elizabeth Squires: Quaint little hobby shop. Amber was delightful!!

Shark Linn Media: A really cool place to get a RC car or plane

CrackedJudgement “Cracked”: Always has something interesting, but better not ask any employees questions, first time i was in there i asked about a specific type of 3d printer and if they had plans of stocking them, simple yes or no question but all i got from the employee was a bunch of yets and maybes as in they had no idea what they carried or bother to check the system to see if they ever carry it. More recently i went in and curiously asked if they carried any special pla's or just standard, an employee curtly answered my question but then moments later as i was in line decided to mock me for asking at all. I get making fun of people for what you would perceive as a dumb question, but at least wait till they leave the premises to do so. Very annoying when i averagely spend over $100 when i go in, would shop elsewhere if one opened up nearby, if you are driving or looking for informed individuals, just go somewhere else.

Andrew Honey: I always enjoy going to Hobby Town and checking out their selection of Bandai Models. Staff are very knowledgeable and friendly.

Eugenia Williams: It wasn't a help for what I needed. The staff assisted when they were ready but wasn't overly ready to go the extra to help.

Jody Mercier: Great little express RadioShack. Didnt even know it was there lol. They have a dedicated section for the RadioShack express items...ie resistors, diodes, capacitors etc. The staff there is very helpful and knowledgeable. While I was there I noticed they have quite the inventory of rc cars/trucks and all kinds of supplies for them. Good to know

Tim Horn: Awesome

James Boyd: good place for gunpla gundam modals

E. Robs: Awesome selection and reasonable prices on supplies and kits. If you're looking for a decent selection of Gunpla, this is probably the best in town.

Lynda N.: Super fun shop with friendly staff.

Gabriel Vire: Welcoming and knowledgeable service. Something for everyone!

Michael Stephens: Go anywhere else, Amazon, sleeth hobbies, Midwest hobbies, anywhere. I bought my son a $300 dollar slot car track a couple days before Christmas and after I put it all together it is such poor quality it won't even stay together or work. I call them and they tell me they don't take returns and to contact manufacturer. So I do and they only take returns if you buy directly from them. Absolutely terrible company and after looking at reviews this is a common problem. This place needs to leave Springfield.

Stan B.: I've searched the internet looking for a specific puppet for my grandson. Even went so far as to call stores in other states with no luck. I called HobbyTown and found what I was looking for right here in my hometown!! It was larger than expected, and a little pricy, but extremely cool. The only downside is that they only accept returns with in-store credit. Hope my grandson likes it!!

20redfrogs: One of the area's largest Hobby stores. Large selection. Just about any type of RC you could imagine is here.

Jim Rich: Too pricey for this average Joe

JW DeLong: Love this place. From models to remote control cars theis place has all your hobby needs.

Steve M: Went in knowing nothing about model trains except for we were getting one for our son for Christmas. The owner Tim spent more time making asking sure we got what was best for our son and for him to possibly start as a hobby then just trying to make a sale. He showed a true passion and appreciation for the value of someone's work and directed us to the best fit dor us not the most expensive. He earned an immediate sale and not just a "we'll talk about it." He has earned a repeat customer for sure. His team he has surrounding him were very helpful and knowledgeable as well.

Eugenia Williams: Great guy. He tried to help even though what I needed wasn't in his special inventory.I appreciate him giving me a few avenues to follow.

Angela Gries: I love this little home town store...they have great products and competitive prices...we always like to stop by and see what they have...

Alexander Boen: Drove from nixa and they were closed at 4:50 when their hours say open till 5. Kind of a bummer.

Bill Jarrett: Great place to get RC's and other hobby supplies. My last purchase was an RC plane.

Dale Young: I've been here multiple times for different things. They've never had what I need, and although the clerk was kind the wait for help has been unnecessarily long, and little interest in helping me find what I need.

Stewart Spangle: Nice little hobby shop

Scott Weatherman: Excellent small hobby shop

Bubby Shelton: Nice store, very helpful. I am new to the rc plane hobby and they were very helpful to get me the items I needed. They knew what batteries I needed ( even with my bad description ). There prices are compatible with Amazon ( they are a little bit higher but no shipping charges)

ultimatelove junkie: Good and friendly service. They have lots of goodies.

Deanna Hickson: Good prices, excellent staff. Found what I needed.

Victoria Lorraine Clark: Love this store and they always have good deals. They have just about everything.My only complaint is the older woman Helen that checked us out was extremely slow. I was beginning to think she was doing it on purpose and not just to us. Another checker got at least 4 people out the door by the time Helen got done with the woman in front of us and then was half way through with us. Maybe put Helen somewhere else and let the younger people checkout customers. I hate to complain about elderly workers but I don’t understand why they put them at the register. They do this at the Walmart we go to, the poor woman looks like she’s going to pass out and has to hold her self up with a cane!

Nori Schaefer: Granddaughter paid for items with her own money (some of it in change) - male cashier was so kind & patient.

Ok went back literally didn't see any kind of a price tag or bar code . But she argued back wow but they do have some fantastic products if your into that kinda of items but the other 2 lady's where very nice and helpful. Thank you for the two ladies that was helpful. All can be said about the rude one maybe that person needs to have a re focus talk with H R on how customers makes all business work or not . But please check them out if you like.doing odds and ends. Or maybe time to re decorat there homes or offices. Hope all have a fantastic experience thank you . If you want the honest opinion follow me ..Will only give you the honest opinion and . To all when . I do this . I do it open minded and not in a negative light yes . I do post what happened or what was wrong . But haven't never stated stay away or anything..

Angela Gries: We just found this store today and the owner is the nicest most knowledgeable person you will ever meet.. we did not feel any pressure to buy anything but ended up getting a small rock crawler.. their prices are competitive and it soooo nice to have a store to go see the merchandise and talk to someone who knows what they are talking about instead of looking at a website and trying to figure out what you need. We will be going back in the future..

MixinThe Bisquic: Brought my stampede in for repair ended up learning I could get upgrades installed! Got almost a total rebuild minus the engine and a few other parts, great job on their service if you need repairs or upgrades installed, these guys do it and they do it well, I advise anyone to make them your first choice always in repairs and upgrade installation, they got good stock too on Traxxas and even Abit of arma, can't go wrong, also super friendly and understanding staff.
