In stock and always come home with something that keeps them busy. The wife isn’t the biggest fan though lol

Just went as a tag along. Well stocked with what appears to be quality products. Service is great once you are attended to. They seemed more interested in servicing your needs than churning through customers. That means slow turn around times. Hey that's cool by me because when it was our turn we were looked after as were those before us. I can understand why these guys were busy.

Absolute awesome shop! It’s the best toy store around that caters for specialities and general toys. For the good quality toys like LEGO, Playmobil and other European brands it’s the place to go. The prices are very competitive. There’s also a great selection of puzzles (that’s what I usually buy), board games, miniature railways etc. The place also feels like a little community hub for like minded people. Got inspired to finally frame my puzzles by another customer. Lovely staff creating this warm and welcoming atmosphere as well as expert advice. Thanks guys!

It's so satisfying to find a specialist retailer who is still happy to be a specialist and provide quality service with pleasant staff who genuinely seem interested in both the product and the customer. Worth the travel no matter where in Melbourne you're based.

Good clean shop with a big range of everything. But their prices are high, you can find a lot of it cheaper online. If they price matched they would get more business!

A little slow to fulfill orders at pickup but the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and there's maybe one other store with similar product choice. Recommended.

Love, love, love. Got a hobby? This is the place for you. Don't have what you want? They will do their best to source it. Great job!

Despite the long trip I still had fun here looking at all the model and even met a few new friends here as well, I’ll keep going here as long as it is open

Fantastic staff who are very helpful and friendly. Everything I need to make my custom 18 scale car was in stock.
Could not be happier with the service.

Great range of products, took a while to get served maybe 1hr before I got a "do you need help". But once I got service, I got some great advice and help. Very knowledgeable.

Decent price, and staff accommodating to allow me to pickup online order on day of me requesting rather than ship to me. Didn’t go too far in the store, but it looked like they had tonnes of decent stuff. Will go back.

Amazing Hobby shop everything from Hornby and Airfix models to Lego, Playmobil and Sylvanian Families. Huge selection of RC models as well. Really pleasant staff. I highly recommend this store.

Only have been the the RC counter.

Guys here reallyknow their stuff. They kindda spend too much time helping each person so there is generally a wait to get specialist help (for radio control).

But when I finally get served I also receive the same level on service and undivided attention which I think is fine.

Their range is also crazy big. Very hard to resist.

Good people to deal with, very knowledgeable. Grate selection of models. Well worth the trip from Bendigo.

A good range of hobby items to choose from in a well laid out retail environment. Stock ranges from children's toys to high end RC vehicles including drones, cars, planes and boats.
