10AM - 3PM
60 S 6th St, Reading“I have always had a top tier experience here. I willingly travel 2 hours one way just to take my toys here, knowing they are the best around. If I could rate 6/5 I would.”
“It's been atleast two decades since I've been in there. Bought several pediste of comics, few cook books, other books to read, and various other things in sure I didn't need, but wanted anyway! Pleasantly surprised and the cashier was absolutely fantastic!! ?”
“After being introduced to it on the other side of the state, it was fun to check out a local version. I always look quickly through the book section and usually manage to come away with something. My only quibble is that the type of stickers they use really take some doing to come off of books, and often leave a mark. Otherwise, the deals are not as apparent as you're led to believe. A bit like the Costco model: a few big deals to bring you in, and everything else is regular-priced or higher. Don't get suckered...find your deal and get going.”
“Let me start off by saying that...I am not a BIG TIME Model Railroad Hobbyist in terms of Size of Layout and $$$ spent...BUT...these guys have made it MUCH EASIER over the last couple of yrs to PACK AS MUCH "BANG FOR MY BUCK" INTO MY 4'X6' SEASONAL "N" GAUGE LAYOUT!!!
Steve, Bob (and any others there) are always RIGHT ON THE BUTTON with Answers and Guidance, inside is VERY CLEAN and ORGANIZED, Plenty of what you're looking for (Not just Model RR either...All other Hobbies), Avg. to Better Prices and some HARDER TO FIND STUFF!
Only CONS to this shop is that they cut back on DAYS/HOURS yrs back (Just like every other Hobby Shop) but are still BETTER THAN THE REST...And they DON'T RUSH YOU OUT AROUND CLOSING TIME, until you get what you need! (The LATER is usually a PET PEEVE of mine!) The other CON is that the City of Reading has GONE WITH "TOTALLY APP DRIVEN PARKING" so a POCKET BULGING WITH QUARTERS WON'T HELP...BUT A "SMARTPHONE WITH THE APP" WILL...if you want to spend more than 5 mins! NOTE: THE STORE HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE LATER ISSUE!
"KUDOS BIG TIME GUYS!!!"...(My Wife even likes going in there now...which is a BIG PLUS for you guys...$$$...lol)”
