"NEW" Hobby Shop - What's Inside? Performance Hobbies

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Unfortunately too many Hobby Shops have closed over the years. So it's always an exciting time to see one open up!! 👍🙂👍

[@ralphhowing3473]

I miss the Mom & Pop shops!!

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

This is awesome news. It's always great for all of us when a new hobby shop opens up. Even if we don't live near it.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So very true Mr. C

[@styrenerelics]

You are so right, Tim. Too many shops have closed lately. It's good to see this. Thanks

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So true Paul

[@N-Scale]

Glad to have another retail shop !!!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So true!!!!!!

[@russelldesalvo3728]

I’m happy to see this shop is open. I pray that they do great. But the key to any shops success is the folks to come in and give them business! They are quite far from me physically but I can give them a shot online.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So true and I hope they do well too! 👍

[@jerequallio9052]

It's great to see a brick and mortar shop spring up. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy your videos, Tim. Maybe I'll run into you at a show sometime. I'm in PA.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Sounds great, thank you for the kind words!!

[@russelldesalvo3728]

Man, I’m watching this over a month after you posted it. But given the selection, I definitely will be hitting their page!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Oh heck yea!! And, they have added a lot to the inventory since I was there!!!

[@darrenalmeida1382]

Once again Tim, thank you for your relentless efforts in to keeping the hobby alive! My model building is temporarily on hold until I complete some home projects. You have again inspired me to go and make a purchase at my local hobby shop! If I had a YT channel it would be named "Too Much Kits, Not Enough Time". Thanks again, As always, keep the glue bottle upright!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Thank you so very much for the kind words Darren. I'm right there with you, as my summer months have always been "outside" house work instead of sitting inside at the model bench. So I know exactly what you are saying when it comes to the home projects and too many kits vs not enough time!!!!! Have a great weekend and hope to hear from you again soon my friend.

This is funny. I live in Batavia, where the warbird museum is, and I just learned of this place and I’m SO excited to check it out. Our Hobby Town is just ok and the customer service there is terrible! So I’m very glad to have another shop in the tristate that actually WANTS me to spend my money there. I’m going tomorrow morning so I’m glad you made this video!

[@bigbow62]

Back in the day in my hometown, we had a huge hobby store... the model section was just as big or bigger than the whole store you are in. Every Saturday, I would ride my Schwinn orange Krate (19:05 pictured there, came out late 60s... 68' I think ) then in the early 70s my gray ghost ( another very rare bike* )or my Raleigh 10spd Chopper ( yes, a 10spd stingray style bike a rare in the states ) to the shop. The shop " 606 " was about a mile and half from my house... I spent many hours at that amazing place. * The bicycle shop in my hometome was giant and the owner was a friend friend of the family so every time we went in there bike shopping he said he'd get me the best bike..... and he wasn't kidding one was rare The Raleigh 10spd Chopper and the other extremely rare The Grey Ghost. To bad I only kept the a handful of years when I got my road bike..... Schwinn Varsity ten spd road bike Thank you for the video and memories... its crazy there was a model of one of my first bikes ✌️😎

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Aaaaaa, very very cool!!!!!!!! 🙂 Those were the good ol' days. 👍

[@TJsModelBench-jb4xt]

I’m fortunate to still have a HobbyTown USA here in Mobile. I used to be into R/C airplanes, big time. But I was more of a kit builder. All the foam and electric power turned me off. I hope they’re able to draw enough business to survive. Peace and love.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yes, good to still have the HobbyTown USA close by TJ. Love being able to go into a store and shop around. I agree, hope this new shop can stay open..... Peace and love my friend.

[@kevinhuber8723]

Nice video. Amazes me how manufacturers plan on production, not to mention distribution. This is a golden age of kit building.... yet I never see teenagers looking at kits? Please support your local hobby shop. These guys went out on a limb and of course RC rules the roost. An active RC community is a must for any hobby shop to survive. I so miss my local shop which was anchored by an 8 lane twentyfourth scale high bank slot car track.

Nice new shop, with many things not seen everywhere. Have to agree we need more hobby stores, I'm traveling too far but I refuse to buy on eBay or Amazon. I won't be enticed by the 20% off on plastic model kits however. I just bought a Buick Riviera for $28.99 and ''55 Chevy Nomad for $29.99, and a Pontiac Catalina for $29.99 in the past month, at the hobby shop I frequent. I'm seeing $32.99/$32.99/$34.99 respectively for those same kits in this new store. I'm waiting on a Kenworth cabover I ordered that is going to cost $47, not the $73.99 I saw on the KW kit in the KY store. Even if I lived closer there, the 20% off is not moving the needle for me, sorry. Plus, Hobby Lobby and Oillie's carry some of those kits. Pricing must be more competitive, just saying.

I understand Ray.... Keep supporting your local Hobby Shop, we need them around! 🤜🤛 🙂

[@rayrussell6258]

@@THROTTLEPOWER btw, have you heard about the snafu on the Moebius A990? You mentioned that kit in this video and you seemed surprised there were no A990's on the new store's shelf. My hobby shop tells me, and I've had it confirmed by modelers elsewhere, that there was a bar coding issue on packaging coming out of China, so there is a nationwide surplus of the blue box sedan, and a shortage of red box A990's in the US. No word on how quickly that will be fixed. You were lucky when you got one early! 😉

And unfortunately that’s why hobby shops go under the prices you pay the high price and then the markups for the rent of the building and utilities and so the owners can make money for more product and make a living. It looks good in that shop but it only be around for about r years and go belly up. With the current economy people need money for food and other bills instead of hobbies. Sad but it’s true
