802 Silas Deane Hwy, Wethersfield“Great throwback hobby shop with tons of inventory and good prices. Store has been closed for the past week or so with no message at door or on website, I hope all is well.”
“I went to Fred after seeing all these glowing reviews and I am SO GLAD I did. He explained his process and the reasons why he was accepting or rejecting certain pieces of jewelry I found in my old home. A lot of it ended up being costume jewelry, but he told me how to clean it up so I could sell it myself at a tag sale. There were a few gems in there though, and he paid me for them on the spot and at a really good price. He was kind, friendly, and I absolutely trusted him to give me the best deal. I left utterly satisfied with the experience. If I ever find any more treasures, I will surely go see Fred!”

60 Hilliard St, Manchester“I always visit this store when I am town. Selection is fantastic and the customer service is excellent. I have visited hundreds of game stores across the country and this is by far my favorite.”
“Broke the rudder on my r.c. boat. I acquired the part , and brought it to Time Machine Hobby. I was kindly greeted when I entered, and was directed to the back to the store to find Wayne.Wayne was great, super informative, and fixed my boat no problem.As I waited, I went upstairs and saw their amazing model train set, slot car track, and crawler course. Very cool place.I will def go back to purchase my first r.c. plane!!”
“The place was a bit disorganized but had some really cool stuff for a fair price. Comics and figures as well as miscellaneous merchandise and some gunpla. The person working there was also nice and was fun to talk to”
“Huge space to try games. Terrain is set up for various games so all you need are your armies. Tons of board games to try and buy but also D&d and other pen and paper games and the mi atures and dice.They have updated the inside so there are more tables to game at and the prices are still awesome, as is the HUGE selection. Besides Warhammer there are a bunch of other army building minis and paint to do them up right.”

7 S Main St, West Hartford“If you're any kind of fan of model building or wargaming go here, it's 100% worth it. I recently got into Warhammer and was so excited when I found out there was a GW store near me. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, you can tell that the people working here are fans of the hobby with a lot of passion. The selection there is really good one side of the store is for 40k and the other is for Fantasy/Age of Sigmar. The pricing is GW pricing if you know you know. It's a little more pricey than other stuff but the quality is there for sure. Pretty much everything is the same price as it would be online and that's pretty much the same whether you're at GW or a smaller hobby store. Not everything is marked with a price so I definitely recommend asking as Warhammer isn't as straight forward as other hobbies and a small miniature might be even more expensive than a box of 10. Would love to see more painted miniatures in the displays but that's about my only recommendation, I had such a good time.”
“We love to peruse the aisles in this store. It is magical to see the variety of merchandise in each department. By the time you leave the store, you will be inspired to take up a new hobby or design an art project. They offer everything from custom framing to home decor. They also have a complete variety of art and hobby supplies for every age group. A lot of the merchandise is color coordinated and easily accessible. The store is clean and well organized. The staff is friendly, professional, and helpful. There is also plenty of parking.”

5 Main St #5B, East Hartford“Bought something I rarely see at my local store. My credit card didn't initially work. Then had to call and do some round about way of using my store credit card. It worked.”
“Kudo's to the staff at Michaels. My wife needed some very small brass screws to repair her jewelry case. Home Depot and Lowes did not have anything even close. We decided to try Michaels because this sort of thing may be used in some kind of craft project. They did not stock the screws either, but one of the staff suggested they had some small unfinished wooden boxes that also had small brass screws. Sure enough, the box which only cost $1.99 had the four screws that we needed! Problem solved! This solution happened because the professional staff, really knows their products.”
“I'm an oil painter and they actually have a decent
selection of paint and other accessories. I like the Winsor brand and they do in fact carry them. It's more expensive than other oil paint brands from some craft stores, but I don't mind paying a little more for a better quality product. Store itself is well organized and the staff are very friendly.”

600 Hartford Rd, New Britain“I get lost in this beautiful well organized store everytime. And did you know they host craft parties for the kiddies. I'm gonna be a grandma soon and I am def bringing her here ??????”
“Very nice store, lots of interesting and rare items, staff is very kind and helpful. Unfortunately I wasn’t in the market to buy anything this time and couldn’t come to a deal with the owner about buying some of my collection, I appreciate the help they gave me when determining a price range for the items I was selling and am very pleased with the great customer service. I look forward to shopping here in the future.”
“Bill went through some old coins I had accumulated. He was very knowledgeable. He took his time explaining the differences in values. Very trustworthy. Would recommend”
