Hole in the Wall Hobbies — Local services in Universal City

A True Hidden Gem for Tabletop Gamers!

Hole in the Wall Hobbies is exactly what a local game store should be — welcoming, well-stocked, and built around community. The selection is incredible. If your hobby lives on a tabletop, chances are they either have it or can get it for you. From miniatures and paints to board games, card games, and more, the variety feels endless.

We come in every Thursday for Battletech night, and it's become a weekly highlight for our family. My kids love hanging out in the store and playing the arcade games — it’s a perfect mix of hobby heaven and fun for all ages.

The owner is a genuinely cool guy who clearly cares about his customers. He goes above and beyond to support the local gaming scene and always makes people feel welcome.

Whether you're a veteran gamer or just getting into tabletop hobbies, this place is worth checking out. Hole in the Wall Hobbies is more than a store — it’s a community hub, and we’re...

This Place is amazing, since I moved into my house in 2020 I have been going to HITW hobbies since they where literally a hole in the wall at a storage place. Now I have seen it grow into the amazing store it is today. Tom has become a really good friend and has been there through many trying times, the store is and will always be a great place to get away.

If you go through chaff that is listed at .25c or less and find a surprise gem, they'll change the price at the registers. Really makes looking less fun and less exciting. It takes the trust away from customers.

Editing my review only to add a response to the owner:

Do customers actively know how you run your bulk system or do we sign terms and conditions for shopping within your store at the door? Where is the signage that states how you run your bulk system? Because all I am reading is that you all don't want to own up to doing this to customers, so you're pinning it on us. I've never been in a store that will search a product up at the register and deny the bulk box price. Ever.

Customers aren't there to run your business for you, we are there to support it, and by taking away trust as you have you actively lose it and the support.

I will...
