Hobby Shops near Newtown, CT

“Have been going here for years, and keep coming back. Mostly Fanboy is an online store and a comic con vendor (first introduced to the company at NY ComicCon). Walking into the small store however, and they have a lot of things on display, ranging from small action figures to larger more detailed statues. Plus the warehouse is pretty large and has a lot more.”

“What a great shop. Have been in a number of times and have never been disappointed. Incredible selection of all types of vehicles. The indoor mini-crawler course is fun and well designed. They also have a great indoor racing short course. The staff there are very knowledgeable and friendly. Walking in to have a connection converted took very little time, and they set up a spare adapter. All for what I believe was a nominal cost. New to the rc scene, looking to start, an experienced enthusiast coming in for parts, or looking to pick up the next rig, they are not going to disappoint.”

“Brookfield Coin and Card is great!! Dealt with the manager named Dane and he’s very intellectual and patient! Great place if you want to sell, buy or just straight up learn!!”

“Nutmeg Games is a true gem, if you're a trading card/board game enthusiast this place will feel like home. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, they have a large area with tables for playing various games, and there's a wall filled with board games that you can play right there and then. I highly recommend checking out this store if you're even remotely a fan of MTG, Yu-gi-oh, Pokemon, Warhammer 40k, Star Wars Unlimited, Lorcana or just a board game lover!”

“Beautiful place with so many unique items for wild birds starting from bird feeders, houses, backyard deco, bird bath/water fountain and so many other items we usually don’t search for but when we find it, we love it. Staff was friendly too! Will definitely recommend friends and family!”

“Big shout out to Kathleen, the cashier in Michaels in Brookfield, CT today. She took the time to help me with a project for a baby shower. She was kind, courteous and helpful while she alternated assisting me and monitoring the checkout register with attention to the customer's needs. Kathleen should be commended for her outstanding customer service, which is rare in today's world of retail sales. I do hope her supervisor recognized her action as a positive representation of Michael's. Thank you Kathleen, and thank you Michael's.”

“I want to share about the exceptional experience I had with Michaels in Brookfield, Ct store. I had a large original piece of artwork framed at their framing department. It took unusually long to get back to me and when it was completed, it was not at all what I expected. The quality was sub standard for Michaels. I called the store and the manager Michele happened to answer. I stated my issue and she was incredibly concerned and ready to resolve the issue. She said to bring it back and would like the opportunity to make things right. I was reluctant at first since it was such a large piece and a hassle to transport but I agreed as I have always been a loyal Michaels customer. I picked up my piece today and it was reframed and absolutely perfect. It was a challenge to frame due to its size but they re-did it and were very professional about how they handled it. Michele is an exceptional store manager. She has great people skills. I am impressed with how she managed the issue. Michaels is fortunate to have her on staff. Thank you Michaels.”
