I found a rare and very hard to find model kit on J-Bar Hobbies website and i wanted to confirm that they did indeed have it. I live in Texas so I called and I was very impressed by the service I received over the phone. The woman I spoke with was extremely polite and helpful and she found that they did in fact have 1 kit left in stock. She told me that it was not on the shelf and that it was probably in the back and that she would be happy to check for me. I gave her my contact information and she found it and quickly gave me a call back. I was so excited and happy! They shipped it the very next day and when I received it today I couldnt wait to see it. The packaging was top notch and very professional. Once I opened it, it was wrapped inside of the box as well just like a Christmas present. Also included was a sprue tree with a note attached stating that the specific kit i purchase had a run problem where 1 sprue tree was missing and that Revell had sent the replacement just in case. It doesn't get any better than that! I'm smiling ear to ear and couldn't be more happy! Thank you J-Bar Hobbies for the excellent experience and I look forward to shopping with you again...
   Read moreClassic hobby shop. Prices are on the high side compared to other hobby shops that I’ve been to. Regardless, a nice and large selection of plastic car kits. The selection of model trains however is in desperate need of new, quality stock. Have been hoping each time I do my yearly visit here to see some attempt at offering a good selection of quality trains, especially HO Scale but unfortunately it’s been disappointing to see the same stuff nobody has been buying on the shelf for the last 10 plus years and nothing new seems to end up in the train section. Lots of potential to grow into a very successful model train supplier especially since they are the last hobby shop within an hour radius. Hopefully they might consider updating their train selection so I can give them a 5 star rating and most importantly, get more business.
Employees have always been nice which is good. A note for those planning to visit, they do not have public restrooms even for paying customers which I’ve always thought is a little odd. Fingers crossed that my next yearly visit to see some...
