Super friendly, great prices. Cant complain. Staff was really knowledgeable as well. Love the fact that they have model rockets, and a list of places you can legally fly them on Oahu!

My husband was looking for a brass tube for customizing hotwheels. Let me say the hobby company is the best if youre looking into something for cars, Im talking about miniature cars, airplanes, whatnots. Debit, credit, cash accepted. No bathroom access though. There is plenty of parking and the staff is super helpful, as well as knowledgeable in what they are selling. It is affordable somethings might be a bit pricey depending on what youre looking for. See pics for more details of what they are selling. Support local!

Calvin did a great job of soldering up my drift car, and never got annoyed with all of my requests! Wish they had more rc drift items, but I will definitely come back for any soldering work I need.

Great selection in kits and paints if youre looking for 1/35 scale. Fair prices because if you order online youll end up paying a similar amount. Overall great store and will be going for my modelling needs!

The hobby is a cool and great place to look and buy models and accessories there. Even all the staff that works there is very friendly and helpful. Like my brother Calvin and Russell there. if I need help on my projects that I get stuck on they try and help me out a lot to figure out on how to make the project that Im working on to work. The service they give to help make your project work is awesome. THANKS GUYS!!! 🤙🏼👍🏼😁

This company has been around for a very long time. Their assortment of hobbies and crafts range from model rocketry to puzzles. They have brands of hobby paints from Testors to Tamiya. Their plastic model collection is vast. They also sell RC parts with a staff that can assist in RC repairs on weekends. Its good to call them to ask if they have what youre looking for but its also a good place to check out to see what you can build or create.

Got back into this RC thing this year since taking a major long break since 2006 and things change quite a bit. Anyways, just wanted to take the time to say Hobby Company service meets my needs every visit and also by phone! Each staff are awesome. A lady that works there actually helped me try out a tool before purchase. I dont know the gentlemans name but I think he is the owner. Several times I call over the phone for some knick knacks and is very helpful. Even takes his time looking for it and explain some alternatives and advice about lipo batteries. During the weekend 2 gentleman are there, both awesome .The tech guy Calvin is very knowledgable, very patient, very helpful, just super cool. He helped me fix my Tamiya Mud Blaster 2. What a life saver for just a screw and a washer :) Enormous thank you Hobby Company.

Awesome little shop. The folks there are very helpful. In particular Calvin. They will try their very best to get you what you are looking for. And make sound recommendations on what they think you will be better off with. I am extremely happy with the results of my 1/10 scale truck. Definitely will going there for my rc needs.

The store owner is known for being a bit abrasive, but dont let that scare you off! I went in there knowing nothing and came out with a lot of information and help. No nonsense quality service that emphasize helping the customer instead of trying to turn over a quick buck. Highly recommend The Hobby Company to anyone getting into RC or other model building hobby!

One of the last Hobby shops on Oahu has a variety of things, like RC vehicles, plastic model kits, model rockets, model railroad supplies.

Review №35

One of the few surviving traditional hobby stores in town. If you need that kit or supply TODAY and dont want to deal with shopping online, Hobby Company has a selection of Tanks, Cars, RC, Sci-Fi, paints and tools. If you have a question, look for Calvin on the weekends. This guy is a wealth of knowledge.

This place was pretty big, and had a really big selection of silk flowers and other fun craft supplies. Went there with my best friend to gather supplies for her wedding centerpieces. We were able to find everything we needed, and it was an overall good experience. Only thing I didnt care for were the associates. Not very helpful. But meh. whatever.

Review №59

Rude and very unkowledgeable staff, as well as being overly priced.Asked the lady there do you happen to carry any 1/8th scale ESCs? Lady responds uhhhh no. I look in case and there is multiple very unorganized controllers.Then I ask the guy that has no neck if he knew of any others. He responded with well if you dont see them theyre not in there, once I was finally able to get the lady to actually move things around there were others. But happened to be nearly double the average price online, including overnight shipping.I would rather order parts online and have them shipped via ground and wait instead of giving them a dime of my money.

I think this is the only store in Hawaii that sells acrylic paint. If you want to buy a plastic model in Hawaii, lets go here as there are some Japanese kits.
