I went in today on a whim and was surprised to discover that in addition to the RC stuff they advertise they also have a really nice selection of Gundam model kits, in 1/144 HG/RG all the way up to the 1/60 PG (there was only one of those, but still), and there were even a few that I thought would be fairly obscure like a 1/100 MG Great Mazinger and an SD Shin Getter. They have a good selection of the Gundam Marker kits too, and are getting more of the official Mr. Color paints and accessories in too, and the guy who's name I forgot (I know I'm terrible D:) seemed really knowledgeable and said they've been doing a pretty brisk business on those and getting new kits and paints in weekly.It got me super hyped to tell people 'cause I'd never heard anyone mention this place when I've asked about local places to buy these kind of niche things. So, if you're looking to get into gunpla or are someone who's been building a while and would rather support a local business than import stuff online, go give these guys a look!

Excellent shop! I found it while looking for supplies to build and paint my model. They have the biggest selection of quality acrylic and enamel paints in Albuquerque, including Vallejo and Tamiya. Hobby Proz also has special metallic paint as well as the usual cements, thinners, varnish, various tools, and more.The at Hobby Proz made me feel welcome. I had several questions that a nice gentleman answered for me and left me feeling informed and confident in my purchase. He prevented me from buying air brush paint when I was looking for brush on paint and directed me to the right bottle.Hobby Proz also has lots of spare parts for RC enthusiasts, model train tinkerers, and loads of models including jets, tanks, trucks, helicopters, and more.Do yourself a favor and visit this hidden gem.

Bobby, at Hobby Proz, sold me a defective AFX race car track last Christmas. On Christmas Day my child and I were stuck with a 175$ plus tax gift that ruined our only day together of that year...Mr. Bobby refused to return the set, he insisted I contact the distributer myself, which I reluctantly did. AFX sent him a new track complete in the box, still Bobby would not refund my $. Instead he said he would sell the track and once he did he would then return my $. He sold the track SIX MONTHS AGO!!! I found out over Thanksgiving while he and the assistant manager Brian were away! He never contacted me, and now refuses to refund my $! My child never got a Christmas present...Bobby. Is this post worth 250$ ?Treat your customers with the respect we deserve, or you'll have no customers!

I went on a Saturday afternoon. I was met immediately and asked if I needed help. I explained my drone transmitter was not powering up. I was shown the person with experience with them. He looked everything over and seeing no settings that were a problem upened up the power supply holder and removed it. He them tested the plug end. It was not getting power. He tested all batteries and found them to be good. Anyway he looked for a part with no success. So I ordered a new battery for $10 and didnt go buy a new transmitter for $100. Good guys, please support them if you have needs.

This hobby shop is awesome! I took my nitro rc car there to be serviced there because I couldn't get it to start and they fixed it in less than an hour. the service fee was super cheap. Very knowledgeable staff. They always have a great selection and their prices are very competitive with the other hobby shops and even online stores prices. I always look forward to my weekly trip to their store!

If you are into RC fliers then this is your place. The staff is very nice and professional and answered all my questions. They have a big selection and from what I could see the prices are fair. You might be able to save a few bucks on Amazon but I prefer to support my local hobby shops and small businesses. I was very impressed with the store and how it is ran and will be a loyal customer. I highly recommend this place.

Hobby Proz is probably the best hobby store in the Albuquerque area. Don't be fooled by their website, they carry more than just R/C stuff (which is their main focus). They also have a wall of plastic model kits, with enough variety to keep you glued for a good half-hour. Their selection of aircraft, armor, ships and automotive kits are pretty decent compared to other stores in the area. Pricing is pretty competitive.Their closest competitor could very well be Hobby Lobby (a Michaels style general arts and craft store) just down the street. According to the owner, this is the preferred store of the local IPMS club so that says a lot about their selection. Definitely worth a visit when in the Albuquerque area!

Very unprofessional. Walked in to employees making fun of a child because he made a mistake wiring. Also the markup on the products are outrageous. It'd be different if customer service was great but it's just a bunch of ass holes. Will not be returning & hopefully NOBODY else gives them business.
