Come Visit Our Store!

Because of the HUGE array of hobby products that are (and HAVE BEEN) available, there is NO WAY we can show or list them all here. We will be happy to talk to you on the phone (or through email) about our specific offerings, and if we have what you need, we can mail it directly to you! We also do lots of Special Orders for our customers, so if we don’t have it in stock, we can always check into getting it for you.

We do a lot, but we can’t do it all, so we don’t handle any R/C or Rocketry products at this time – Sorry.

  • I grew up on Shadwell Drive between 1952-1961. I was 4 to13 years old. I would save my weekly allowance so I could go and buy either a Dinky Toy or a car/airplane model at Dibble’s. There were always something for a little kid to desire and eventually buy. It was a great place as they would also display my completed model in the window. Such a thrill for me.

  • The two guys behind the counter were extremely knowledgeable and very helpful! I am very new to model building, and the gentleman had no problems giving me a crash course on the model building process, as well as everything I would be needing. I will definitely be coming here again.

  • Great service and products I like. Jeff and the staff are great to work with. And I now know the best way to get there after several visits.  (Parts of Donalson are a bit rough with speed bumps, and now I can avoid that!)
