Visit and shop our Retail Champaign IL Retail Store

For the ultimate "1 stop shopping experience", we encourage local customers to simply place your orders in advance through our website, and select "Customer Pickup" as the shipping method.Orders placed through our website are ready for pickup Monday through Friday 9am to 5pm CST as soon as you receive our "Ready for Pickup" e mail notification. Make sure to select "Customer Pickup" as the shipping option, and you will save on any and all shipping costs. Just another way Advantage Hobby helps their local customers save money.
In Store Shopping
If your not the on-line ordering type and would rather just come in and shop, we welcome local customer visits and orders as well. Our retail display store is relatively small, so please understand that we can only make available for immediate purchase a small portion of the items that we have listed on our website.If we do not have what you are looking for when you come in the shop, we would be glad to order it in for you like most other Hobby stores do, and you can pickup your order the following afternoon.
Please also feel free to give us a call before coming in, and we can tell you if we have what you are looking for on the shelf, or make sure we have it for you before you arrive.
Also, if you come in to visit us, please also do not forget to bring in your current modeling project for a little "Show and tell" time. Our staff of modelers always likes to see what our customers are up to! Who knows, your latest creation might end up posted on our website!
