Avenel Hobbies

Went in to buy one Testors Enamel paint, he said its was 1.89 each, so I decided to buy three more. After that I brought it to the counter to pay for it by debit card, and he said there was a 10 dollar charge. Then he cried to me about a 21 dollar transaction fee that h...e pays, he made it seem like I was the only one person who paid by credit card this month of November. I cant believed he nickel n' dimed me. If I went to A.C. Moore I wouldn't have a problem buying paint. I would of gave him a rating a 0 out of 5 but unfortunately I am unable to do that. His products are very over priced and his customer service sucks. THIS STORE SUCKS. Wonder how this guy is still in business. I will never buy from this store again. Read More

Enter this store and you are stepping back to a time of personal service and friendly advise. You will find everthing and anything you could possibly want. It is a lot like Polks from the good old days. ENJOY!!

yes they have alot of things.but their return policy is a little one sided, and posted on an old piece of manila folder of only within seven days and only for store credit so look hard for their return sign. because if you like buy too much the store keeps your money anyway...

in a way its great that nyc is just about out of hobby shops .i am now forced to make the trip over the bridge,,and the end result is this terrific place ,being marrired i stay even longer ..

I discovered Avenel Hobbies by accident one afternoon while on an emergency run to the vet with my aging dog Sam, a faithful, yet elderly specimen. After seeing him safely and comfortably home, I decided to explore what appeared to be a tiny storefront; was I pleasant...ly surprised! This store is reminiscent of the old time hobby shops that I frequented as a boy, Polks, comes to mind, every type of taste is catered to in this establishment. The staff is knowledgeable, polite, and helpful, and go out of their way to insure that the customer is taken care of. I highly recommend a trip to this retail establishment. Read More

Finding this hobby shop was a godsend. The newer franchise stores only has a dabbling of models for the consumer. Avenel Hobbies has every genre of model you could think of - aviation, ships, armor, cars, figures, sci-fi. It also has diecast cars, rocketry kits and part...s, and even all the modeling magazines. It has a good supply of styrene, paints and glues for finishing your model. They also gave a good supply of tools. If you're in central NJ and looking for a model shop this is it!! Read More
