Was in the area and had this place on my radar for awhile so stopped in. Shop is packed tight with lots of gaming and model making supplies. Heavy on the military stuff, both modern and historic. If that's your thing this is a must visit place. I am a large scale modeler so Im always looking for scenery and other items I can modify to work at a larger scale, found a decent selection and was able to grab a few items for my shop stock pile. Will visit again when Im in the area.

Support your local businesses! Long review ahead, so the TLDR is this: Friendly employees, clean, well laid out / well stocked shop, open to newcomers, answered questions, no pressure to buy, no one hovering around while you shop. Able to chat if you want to chat or let you float if you want to float. Highly recommend if you're seeking supplies / games / figures, and general other stuff. The last few years had me get extremely into the Warhammer 40k fandom via great lore videos, books, and the like. I decided I wanted to take the next step and get into the hobby properly - get some figures, learn a bit, check out a shop. I stopped by Hobby Bunker with my buddy a few weeks ago, and I gotta say - I was extremely pleased with the entire visit. The shop was tidy, well stocked, and had relatively affordable prices (for pretty expensive hobbies, etc) -- one of the employees, Albert, approached me and we made some small talk. They were polite, friendly, and enthusiastic to have new people joining the hobby. I had heard stories of some shops being snooty or rude to newcomers - but this was all around a great experience. Albert showed me around, answered my questions - told me about game nights, beginner tutorials and other stuff - and offered me the shop's community discord link, which I happily accepted. 10/10, everyone there seemed friendly, decent, and it was a great experience. I look forward to returning - and would recommend anyone and everyone to take a trip to visit the store rather than buying their supplies on Amazon. Community seems supportive and friendly. Definitely made a return customer out of me. Nice job, guys. Thanks - I look forward to my next trip!

Almost certainly the best store in Boston for roleplayers and wargamers: board games, miniatures, terrain, model kits, paints, and more. The staff are super friendly, the store jammed with goodies, and there is ample street parking.

Friendly staff, good prices, and a great selection of products for the tabletop gamer (miniatures, terrain, rules, paints), model kits, boardgames, card-related games, and lots more. Definitely worth a visit.

Do you sell GunPla there? If so, could you post a pic of your selection?

Not an employee, but they have a shelf of Gunpla, along with a pretty broad selection of paints, tools, decals, and other modeling supplies. About the only big gap is in airbrush accessories.

When an order is pending,is the order not available?

MaryAnne Weldon | Aug 19, 2018

I think when an order is pending it can sometimes mean that a part of the order has not been processed, or is unavailable. Contact the store they are more than happy to help you.
