Ridgefield Hobby

Stopped in here for the first time a week ago or so. Staff was very helpful, and had a great selection of paints, tools, etc etc.

I can honestly say this is the best hobby shop I've seen in New Jersey.

If I could make one SMALL suggestion, it'd be that they get a slightly larger mix of models. As of now, it's about 60 percent aircraft, 30 percent cars, and 10 percent armor. I'd like to see a few sci-fi models, civilian aircraft, ships, etc etc.

The best train store in NJ Jim's a good guy and knows trains! I should, know I own a hobby store also,(Shadow Hobbies) but we don't deal in trains we send all our train requests to Ridgefield hobbies,great service also!

This is a nice local mom and pop hobby shop. They offer free coffee and a bagels to their patrons along with a huge selection of model aircraft, cars, armor and ships not to mention their train selection. Since I'm more into WWII aircraft their selection is the best I've seen in years. I will return since it's a good 45 minute drive for me but well worth the trip.

I had the same experience as "The Man"...when I walked into this shop I automatically felt like I walked into a club that I didn't belong too and was certainly never invited to join. Every request for HO train repair I had was met with "no, can't be done." Even something as simple as having couplers put on. I even walked in with a HO Train set...an old European train...to ask for a possible value and was told it was worth nothing because it's a "toy." A kids toy. Went home and promptly sold it for over $100 and saw them on Ebay for even more. The guy was most definitely wrong and most definitely NOT helpful. Wish they were nicer because it's really a great "mom & pop" Hobby shop which are few and far between these days. Def a shame...

This place is horrible. Owner IS in fact an SOB. Horrible attitude when I asked for help, never had to work so hard to give my money. Seemed like if I purchased anything.. I wouldn't be able to get support or customer service if I needed it. Don 't visit!
