It is an awesome Hobby Shop. Anything you could want is there. Like you said , " if you don't see it & it is available, they will order it for you". Not only is the staff friendly & helpful. They are knowledgeable of the products they sell. This is a rare commodity in today's retail world. Thanks for the tour Tim. Like you said, " video does not do it justice". So for anyone watching, if you are visiting the Atlanta area, do yourself a favor and make time to visit this store. It is very impressive to say the least. Thanks again Tim.

They are in my backyard and try my best to support them. Nothing like walking into a hobby shop and seeing something in person vs online. Just like the old days. Just a thrill to walk in and buy a kit off the shelf. Always super friendly staff. A local modeling club usually meets there and it's just off the I75 interstate exit. Very easy to get to it.

Growing up in the late 1960’s to mid 1970’s we had two hobby shops in my town in Delaware County PA, plus one $5 & $10…Saving our allowance, we were always excited to go and buy model plane, ship, and WWII diorama kits and all the hobby paints, glues, x-acto knives, and such. I kinda miss those days. I was a stickler for detailing every model and even painted the pilot’s eyes and uniforms.

Great video. I'm a two-time US champion in the Gunpla Builders World Cup (GBWC) and creator of a waterslide decal line (Mecha Decals) that just went into the Hobby Town catalog this week. I'm also hoping to go to Atlanta at the beginning of the new year, so I might have to stop by and say hi. The Gundam building community is definitely growing in the US, but still pales in comparison to most Asian countries. I've been to Tokyo twice for the GBWC World Championships and the hobby stores over there are the size of grocery stores here in the states. It's pretty amazing. Our IPMS presence is also getting much bigger and better too. You can find Gundam tables overflowing with entries. It's great to see. The creative freedom you have with these kits is beyond compare and they're a ton of fun. I highly recommend taking one and giving it the full treatment. You'll end up wish something really cool. :)

@@THROTTLEPOWER I had the "King Kong" kit shown at the 9:45 mark. I used to like putting together models, usually of cars. Sometimes, they'd turn out okay, but other times, they came out looking ugly. Maybe I put too much glue on them and it would get all over the model, or maybe I was in a hurry to get it done. The point is that I wasn't always too good at making models. Some of them turned out to be too complicated for me. (A few of them were gifts from someone else, so they probably didn't know how hard they were for me.) Other times, I would get glue or paint all over my fingers, and they were usually a pain in the a** to wash off! Finally, I got so tired and frustrated with it, that I just gave up! I haven't touched a modeling kit ever since, and I don't think I would even try to make one of those things today. Besides, I prefer the ready-made diecast model cars and trucks, which I saw this store had some. Incidentally, Tim, I don't think you showed enough of them, just about a minute of them or so. You also didn't show much of the trains. I would have liked to see them run on their tracks for a few minutes. Aside from that, it was a pretty good video.

I have lots of great memories of time in that space! We were excited when the theater opened, with 8 screens you knew there would be able to catch your favorite flick. It was a great place to take a date and the game room was the best of any theater in the area. I am pretty sure that I have spent more time there (definitely more money) there since it has been a Hobbytown. I used to take my son there when they had a Thomas the Train section and he loved playing on the train tables. Ever since the LHS that I used to frequent closed, Hobbytown Kennesaw has filled that gap. They do a great job of having knowledgeable staff in every section of the store. Each section of the store feels like its own Local Hobby Shop.

The Revell 1969 Camaro SS 396 kit on one of the end caps I just finished a few days ago. Wonder Woman is next (for my wife).

Saw multiple things I'd never expect to see in the US. Definitely need to make a trip. The floor leveling js probably just concrete. Once worked with group looking at leasing an old movie house. Converting the building was not as hard as it might seem. Thanks for making the video!

I haven't been in this shop for a while since I don't get to Atlanta as much as I used to. But I bought quite a few of my Die-Cast cars there, as well as many model kits over the years.

This is my Hobby shop and Kevin and Bert are both awesome. I think what Bert was saying is that the store, in its current location in the former movie theater, has been there since 2002. But they were in the same plaza a few stores down (I think where D. Gellar and Sons is now), for a few years before that. I used to shop there as early as the late 90s. So they moved from Austell much earlier than 2002.

I’ve been into the rc hobby since the late 80’s. Started out with the Tyco’s and got my first Tamiya Clodbuster in 89 and I’ve had like 25 of them through the years and I currently still have 22 of them. I still have 2 or 3 sets of axles where I can build some more trucks. I have 2 Tamiya Ford Aeromax tractor trailers and 4 Losi LMT’s in which 3 are in various stages of under construction and one is brand new in the box still. Currently taking a break from my rc’s to focus on some other things, but I plan on getting back into in 2023.

Thank you for your review of HobbyTown USA Kennesaw GA. It is wonderful to watch. Now at 84 years of age and unable to get around as before I sure would enjoy such a visit in person. I do however wish to add a negative note to your fine work. You reviewed the model paint section and proceeded to move 3 bottles of various paint. When you completed your move you neglected to return the 3 to the place they started from. This may sound petty but if everyone passing through did the same consider the disarrangement of the products. Set a good example. Regards, Len

Another fantastic video, a must for anybody wanting to do these type of videos on how to do it. I am not sure if you know about or maybe filmed it back in the day but we had a Longs Drug store in Moreno Valley Ca. and they had a secret room in the back and it was a world class train store. It is sadly gone now.

@THROTTLEPOWER Жыл бұрын

I've heard something about that in the past Jim and always wondered if it was true. How long ago was that and do you know what is there now and or if the building is still there?

@@THROTTLEPOWER The building is still there but they removed the train store in the back, YES I should have filmed it. I would say maybe 15 years ago its was there.
