About Us
Welcome to Try Hobby Box
We are hobbyists, just like you.
Try Hobby Box was born in a small workshop in Corea, Maine. We were tired of driving an hour to the nearest hobby shop only to find overpriced tools and limited selection. We knew there had to be a better way.
So we built it.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
What We Do
We curate and deliver quality hobby supplies directly to your door. From model building tools and precision paints to storage solutions and mystery boxes, every product we sell is something we would use ourselves.
We don't stock junk. We don't sell cheap plastic tools that break after one use. Every item in our store is tested and approved by real hobbyists.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Why We Started
The idea for Try Hobby Box came from frustration.
We love building. Whether it's plastic model kits, Gundam, Warhammer miniatures, or DIY craft projects, the joy of creating something with your hands is unbeatable. But finding the right supplies shouldn't be a scavenger hunt.
Big box stores carry generic kits. Online marketplaces are flooded with counterfeit products. Local hobby shops are disappearing.
We wanted a reliable source for quality hobby gear. A place where beginners and experts alike could shop with confidence. A store that actually cares about the hobby, not just making a sale.
That is Try Hobby Box.
