Model Empire in West Allis, wi

[ERIK88]

I just wanted to say that this store is very fair with prices, I have been going here since I was 12. I have been treated with exceptional customer support. I will be buying 2 MPC 79 MC class action's in a few weeks. Has anyone ever shopped here? Highly reccommended.

Really good fair prices, they are not out of their mind like Hobbytown USA lol jk lol

Before I moved south 8 years ago, this was one of my "go to" places. Can't remember walking out of there without SOMETHING, ever!

It really is a throwback to the old days of the LHS, I wish there was more places like this. The fact they have such a large selection and friendly people working there has a lot to do with why they are still in business.

I'll second that. Alex and the rest of the family are great people. They're prices are actually $3-$5 cheaper than most places. It's where I've been buying most of my kits over the last 20 years or so. They also have an online catalog, a yearly paper catalog, sell on Ebay and Amazon too.

It is my FAVORITE hobby shop with Greenfield News & Hobby runnin' second. I don't get up there often though as the high price of gas is too much and it's about 50 miles one way for me.

Alex is a good guy, never mind that we both have the same last name. We aren't related. I've never been to the store, but Model Empire is one of our annual NNL East vendors. They've been coming with Jimmy Flintstone for years.

I used to live a few blocks south of the store myself, but now I'm only a few miles away. Still get there at least a few times a month...GN&H too(within 2 miles).

You guys are lucky! I just ordered some supplies from them last week. They ship really fast.

I buy paints and stuff from them because it's hard to get to Hobby Lobby and Model Empire has EVERYTHING...

Yea i have been thinking about it for the last few months since I got in the hobby, I received a flier from Model Empire. I seriously think i am going too. I think it will enjoy myself there, talking to many local hobbyists. Can I bring my 6 yr daughter? I have her with me 24/7 so just asking lol.

I'm from Detroit. I go to the EAA Convention every year in Oshkosh. I make it a point to stop both at Model Empire and Greenfield Hobbies.

I do think that Model Empire's prices are a bit better but I enjoy spending time in each one.

A question for any of you close enough to stop in Model Empire, what has happened to their catalog? Got a notice in the mail early in the year that the catalog would be late, around June of this year. Here it is almost Oct and no catalog. Hope I didn't get left off the list after all I've spent with them. Thank you.

Yes, bring the daughter. All are welcome

In the pre internet days I dealt with Alex a bunch. We bought maybe 150 of his generic Monogram Thunderbird NASCAR kits and he carried our decals. I always stopped by at Toledo to talk a bit....but not been to Toledo in 3 years now......

I think it is sold out (per the website if I'm not mistaken). I may be going there this Friday, I can check and get back to you this weekend. Or, you can just call them.
