Don't even bother dealing with these guys for info. They send you to an external website for product info and there's not much there either. I was sent a carton of products with no information at all. Not even a warning to purchase a LiPO bag prior to charging. The details were found on the battery found after purchase. No paperwork was included in the packaging of any website links. A little concerning when you are dealing with LiPo batteries as a beginner due to the fire danger involved with charging and storage.

Brought a wooden ship model opened the unsealed box in the car looked at it, saw the ship hull was one piece and was nothing like what we thought it would be wasn't happy with it, put the sealed bags back in the unsealed box, walked back into the store explained why we wanted a refund, less than 10mins from purchase and they wouldn't give a refund, would only give store credit. Really not happy.
Taking my business to Metro Hobbies from now on at least their refund policy cares about their customers

This is the first scale model that I have bought from Hearns Hobbies or The Hobbyman and I am impressed. Their prices are very competitive, roughly the same as other hobby suppliers that I have previously used, but their customer service is exceptional and in this instance superior to their competitors. I can’t wait to start building this model and look forward to placing further orders with Hearns.

Great place with a wide range of products and accesories.
Staff is very knowledgable and amazingly helpful. They spent so many hours helping my son selecting parts and troubleshooting of his project.

Super awesome store! All the things you need and way more you didn’t realise you did…

The staff know there stuff and are very happy to help.

If I had one complaint it is that I always leave with more than I came for…. First world problems

Dealt with another hobby shop in Melbourne with very little success, contacted The Hobbyman and honestly they could not have been more helpful, very very happy with the service they provided, would highly recommend. ️

Large shop area with loads of stock catering for many hobbies like trains, cars planes etc. Good range of landscape materials for diorama. Reasonable range of tools and some spares too. New trains are mainly Hornby UK style. On line stock levels seem to be accurate, so a check before going could save time. Close to the freeway exit and has loads of off street parking in a large warehouse style shopping complex.

The staff are always helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about their products. My boys love their remote control cars this place is the best place to go for quality.

Great help and knowledge with helping me purchase the right rc car for me.
Nice collection of models and other modelling needs.
I was also happy to see some war gaming things that I'll make a trip back for.

I recently purchased an arrowmax tool set from the Hobbyman and unfortunately it was out of stock. However, they organised a replacement tool set that was extremely generous. Thanks Hobbyman

Always nice to go to hobby man, decent range of miniture paints and sculpting tools for mini painters and I like that I can check stock levels on the site before I head down. If you're in the east side looking for Vallejo paints or tamiya it's your best bet.
