The Playground

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting this Tamiya shop that completely blew me away with its amazing atmosphere and vibrant community. From the moment I stepped foot inside, I knew I had discovered a true Tamiya Wonderland. The first thing that struck me was the warm and inviting ambiance of the shop. The neatly arranged shelves showcased an impressive array of Tamiya model kits, tools, and accessories. The well-lit space and cleverly designed displays created an atmosphere that instantly sparked my enthusiasm for the hobby. But what truly sets this Tamiya shop apart is its exceptional community. From the friendly and knowledgeable staff to the passionate customers, it was evident that a sense of camaraderie permeated the air. The staff members were not only eager to assist with any inquiries or recommendations but also happy to engage in meaningful conversations about Tamiya models, techniques, and experiences. What struck me most was the inclusivity of the community. Regardless of age, skill level, or background, everyone was treated with respect and enthusiasm. Seasoned hobbyists freely shared their expertise, while newcomers were welcomed with open arms. The camaraderie and mutual support were truly heartwarming, making it a place where you can grow and improve as a modeler while forging lasting friendships. Another highlight of the shop was the regular workshops and events organized for the community. These gatherings provided a platform for modelers to showcase their talents, exchange ideas, and learn from each other. Whether it was a painting workshop, a build contest, or simply a casual get-together, these events fostered a strong sense of unity and learning within the Tamiya community. Furthermore, the shop's dedication to customer satisfaction was exemplary. The shelves were well-stocked with the latest Tamiya releases, and the staff went the extra mile to fulfill special orders promptly. They were always ready to offer valuable advice, sharing tips and tricks to enhance the modeling experience. The overall service was exceptional, leaving me with a sense of appreciation and a desire to return. In conclusion, this Tamiya shop is a modeler's paradise, combining a fantastic atmosphere with an extraordinary community. Whether you are a seasoned modeler looking for the latest kits or a beginner seeking guidance, you will be welcomed with open arms. The friendly staff, the lively community, and the range of events make it a place that nurtures creativity, fosters friendships, and encourages continuous growth. I wholeheartedly recommend this Tamiya shop to any hobbyist looking to immerse themselves in a vibrant and supportive modeling community.”

“The location isn’t the most convenient to get to via public transport but they offer a decent selection of Tamiya mini 4wd parts and kits as well as tools and equipment. There is also a track available and the format changes almost weekly. The Playground holds beginner friendly weekly races (B-max) every Friday evening. The people who run the place are passionate and willing to share tips and guide fellow and budding enthusiasts. They also have some TCGs available but the store is generally geared more towards Tamiya mini 4wd.”

“Nice place for my kids to play Tamiya. Location near my office and its much nearer my house compared to other places. Kids below 16yr old can play for free but bring your own Tamiya. Owner very friendly. No outside food and drinks allowed. Can get from them.”

“Super friendly people. Great space and awesome track layouts. Staff are very helpful with how to tune cars to perform better!”
