Brookhurst Hobbies

Probably one of the best hobby stores I’ve had the pleasure of walking into. It’s a very large store with just about everything a hobbiest could want or need.

Probably one of the best hobby stores I’ve had the pleasure of walking into. It’s a very large store with just about everything a hobbiest could want or need. The focus is definitely on plastic models and games, not much in the way of RC (but there’s plenty of stores out there if you need more than the usual Tamiya selection). Employees were friendly, store was fairly well organized. I like to support local hobby shops when I can during my travels, and I walked out with my wallet a little lighter. Two Gee Bee kits in 1/48 that I haven’t seen anywhere else and a book on Soviet aircraft from WWII came back with me. Show less

Brookhurst is the hobby shop you wanted to visit when you were kid! Just a great atmosphere, and a very helpful staff. Lots of Wargaming, Gunpla and Model Cars, not to mention two full aisles of board games! Right next door are gaming tables that are free or a $5 charge depending on the day. Def... Read more

This has become my primary spot for Gunpla in my area, as they usually have a really solid selection of kits. They also usually have a good selection of Gundam Markers, Gundam Converge figures, and even little Gundam Micro Wars candy toys. They were nice enough to set aside a Gundam G-Frame figure t...

This has become my primary spot for Gunpla in my area, as they usually have a really solid selection of kits. They also usually have a good selection of Gundam Markers, Gundam Converge figures, and even little Gundam Micro Wars candy toys. They were nice enough to set aside a Gundam G-Frame figure that I was looking for when I called ahead one time. I will continue to come here every few months whenever I'm looking for new kits to add to my collection/backlog. :) Show less

I needed the game Warewolf for a last minute group gathering. Didn’t have time to order online so Google led me here. I was greeted by Sam the minute I walked in.

I needed the game Warewolf for a last minute group gathering. Didn’t have time to order online so Google led me here. I was greeted by Sam the minute I walked in. And when I asked for help he answered all my questions and gave me great suggestions. I did a quick walkthrough after I got my game and this place is super cool. I got so many great ideas for gifts for my Godson. They have all the cars, planes, and trains that you can ask for. I will definitely be back and support this cool local business. Show less

Great selection here and decent prices. It's a little frustrating that they were out of Mr Thinner self leveling and when I asked about it the clerk had to go on a computer just to find out that they were out.

It's a little frustrating that they were out of Mr Thinner self leveling and when I asked about it the clerk had to go on a computer just to find out that they were out. I came from 2 hrs away in hopes they'd have it but. I guess it's more effort to look in the back or on the shelf where it was supposed to be but what do I know? Anyway they carry an extensive collection of model kits and all their accessories as well. I bought a huge, opened kit here for just $20. And all the pieces and parts are there so can't complain because this same kit would cost $60 on evil Bay. Store is well organized and stocked. Show less

The place has so many items and tools for many craft hobbies regarding gunpla, miniature war figurines, fighter jets, metal cast car kits, and many model kits. This place also has an area for card games such as Magic the Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons. Really neat place and had a constant flow of customers. Really quiet and enjoyable atmosphere. The worker there was really patient with me and answered many of my questions. I easily spent over $100 on tools to start out gunpla painting. Great place to spend time. Show less
