Review: Hobby Warehouse

Hobby Warehouse is closed!

Go to Jeremy's new store:

Big Sky Hobby
3402 Federal Drive
Eagan, MN 55122

Stay away. Far away from this new store. If he offers you a gift certificate, BEWARE!! You could get stuck with a worthless paper. If you have a return, BEWARE!! A 10% charge is deducted from YOUR money. Plus he has an unsatisfactory record with the BBB from Sky's the Limit.

What is this guy talking about??? This store is awesome! So what if there is a 10% restocking fee? Best Buy does the same thing! It's to cover credit card charges! And even so, you can get 100% of your money back if you take store credit. And he's never not honored a gift certificate that I've heard of! The new store looks GREAT, it's all remodeled and all of the inventory is brand new. And he really knows what he's talking about, he can answer any question thrown at him. Go see the new store!!!

Yeah, I don't know what he is talking about. This is no doubt the best RC hobby shop in the Minneapolis area. Jeremy is one of the greatest and helpful guys you can meet in the hobby. When I heard Hobby Warehouse (Sky's the Limit) closed I figured they were done for good and would have to start going to over-priced Hub Hobby. Great to see it only closed for the purpose of relocating to a better location. Seriously. Go check out the new store. You won't be disappointed.

Really? I heard the same thing but thought it was only a terrible rumor! I'm staying clear of that store!

Hobby Warehouse will be re-opening on Nov. 28, 2008. Same hours: M-F 10-7, Sat 10-6. Lower prices on most items!

Even if the father accused the son of selling stolen merchandise, but that must be false because Big Sky hasn't been shut down!

Plus, I would think Hobby Warehouse is the one selling stolen merchandise - if you look in their windows, they don't even have any orders in yet!!!

And lower prices on most items? How can they afford to do that, unless they've also got stolen merchandise!

Stolen merchandise? GIVE ME A BREAK!!! Anyone who can think for themselves knows that Tom is just trying to drum up rumors to hurt his competition. Obviously if it was true, the cops would have been in that store to shut it down.

Father and son accusing eachother of selling stolen goods? Shame on both of them. They are trying to destroy eachother. Why shop at either of those two stores, your just adding fuel to the fire. Jeremy may be knowlegable about RC, but this guy could care less if he gives his own father a stroke. I know what they could do. Jeremy could shave off the hair from that little mutt of his and give it to his dad for a hairpiece, lord knows he could use one. lol

This whole thing is ridiculous. They obviously didn't steal from their own store. Even if Jeremy could care less about his father having a stroke, who cares. Tom tried to sell all of Jeremy's merchandise while leaving him with $100,000 debt. If I were Jeremy, I wouldn't care about Tom either.

tom's hairpiece wouldn't be more obvious if aladin were on top his head lol

Have you ever stepped into a pile of dog poop at Jeremy's store? lol. I think Tom use to play tug of war with Jeremy's dog using his hairpiece! LOL!!!

Right On!! Tom should be ashamed of himself for what he started. And that woman with the scowl on her face, I think her name is Cheryl, should stay out of the store.

I don't think either of those two are capable of feeling shame or any other emotions with the exceptions of Tom's love for that freaky hairpiece and Jeremy's unnatural love for his little mutt dog. And they both have an emotion when it comes to money, GREED!
Isn't Cheryl Jeremy's mother?

No. I believe Tom and Jeremy's mother have been divorced for many years.

Jeremy's mother and Tom have been divorced for years. Jeremy might like to make money, after all that's why he is in business. As far as GREED goes it's Tom and Cheryl who want all the money.

Jeremy told me that Tom disliked the woman that Jeremy married, and went nuclear over it. Everyone that has met Jeremy's wife likes her, while the same can NOT be said for Tom. The consensus in our club is that if we need to go to a hobby shop, it will be Big Sky Hobby.

I've been doing business with Jeremy for eight years, and there is not a more helpful and knowledgeable person in the hobby shop business. It's true that they don't give stuff away, but they're consistently cheaper than $Hub$, and no business is a charity, last time I checked. They also have a far greater variety of model aircraft and parts than Hub does.

I've been flying RC aircraft for just eight years, yet I'm twice as knowledgeable as any of Hub's employees. Jeremy, however, immediately has an answer for any question I have, and knows where every part in his store can be found in an instant. That, my friends, is a resource we are lucky to have.

My recommendation is to shun Tom and Hobby Warehouse, for locking us out of Jeremy's store for the last few months, and for being a jerk to his son and daughter-in-law. Besides which, he's locked up about $100,000 of goods that Jeremy paid for inside the old shop. Litigation is ongoing.

I for one will never step inside a hobby shop run by Tom Steinmuller again.
