Hobby City had humble beginnings when it was established in central Auckland back in 1981. Through a combination of hobbyist passion, dedication to customer service and lots of hard work, the business has matured into one of the most iconic and well-respected hobby shops in New Zealand. We’ve moved a few times and have had to evolve with the ever-changing hobby landscape, but our core values remain the same. Since 2011, we’ve been nestled beside Mount Wellington- just minutes away from the Southern Motorway. Our spacious locale means that we get to offer the largest range of hobby products in the country, with nearly 20,000 unique items available in-store and online. This includes plastic kits, diecast models, trains, boats, RC cars and aircraft, tools, motors, spare parts and heaps, heaps more. Whether you’re just getting into hobbies or you’re a long-time veteran with a garage full of toys- we’ve got something for you. As we’re hobby enthusiasts ourselves, it’s very important to us that the products we sell are of top-notch quality and fully supported by their manufacturers and suppliers. That’s why we only sell brands that are tried and trusted: Hyperion, Traxxas, Hornby, Tamiya, Futaba, Spektrum, Kyosho, Parkzone, Airfix, Scalextric, AutoArt and HobbyMaster, just to name a few. If we wouldn’t advise using it, we won’t sell it.  

  We blend automotive passion with premium design, creating art and gear that celebrate the beauty and culture of cars for enthusiasts worldwide.   We are proudly featured in prominent automotive memorabilia collections and public/private museums across New Zealand.   Buy with confidence knowing these pieces are sought after by serious Kiwi collectors.
