IrishGreek Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hi all, I am having to travel there for work this week and was wondering if any hobby shops near there are worth visiting? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IrishGreek Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 There still a base there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rightwinger26 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 It's on the map. Tomorrow I'm going to snap some pictures of the Hindenburg site and post them. I know this has nothing to do with hobby shops in Trenton, but I found it slightly ironic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volzj Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Living about 25 minutes away from Trenton, across the river in PA, I can tell you no, there is nothing worth your time in the area. I won't even mention the name of the one lousy shop in the area... About 45 minutes south in Magnolia, NJ is AAA Hobbies, which has a pretty good kit selection, all at full retail price. As they are the storefront for the distributor Stevens International, they have a large inventory that is in the warehouse in back, not on the shelves. So if there is a specific kit you are looking for just ask and they may have it. AAA Hobbies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jholt Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Ironically after I moved away from the area almost 16 years ago the local hobby shop scene disappeared. Coincidence? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Viperguy Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 What about AIR Hobbies? Every time I go by there they seem to be open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IrishGreek Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hi all, I am having to travel there for work this week and was wondering if any hobby shops near there are worth visiting? Thanks. Thanks all, I did go by AAA Hobbies and I really enjoyed it. They also do some sales stuff and I got a couple kits for great prices. Apparently they shift stuff around and if you are there you can see what's in the sales room. I got a Hasegawa Su-33 for $12. Well worth it and thanks for the name of the place.

volzj Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Good to hear. I was able to pick up two Academy 1/72 F/A-18D kits just last week in the sale room sale for the low, low price of just $9.00 each! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IrishGreek Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Were some great deals, but had to reign myself in due to luggage space :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
