Ying Hobbies & Toys : un petit havre passionné pour les kits Gundam et les kits de modélisme à San Francisco.
Ying Hobbies & Toys, situé dans le Chinatown de San Francisco, niché dans une ruelle au 63 Wentworth Pl. Cette petite boutique charmante regorge de maquettes, de jouets et d'œuvres terminées, notamment Gundam, Dragon Ball, Naruto et One Piece. Un établi présente des maquettes en cours de montage, et les pots de peinture Mr. Hobby se trouvent près de la caisse. Le propriétaire passionné rend la boutique accueillante, et des kits Premium Bandai rares sont parfois remarqués par les fans.

I’ve only visited Ying’s once, many months ago. I only purchased a small introductory Gundam model. I am not by any means a model enthusiast or even much of an anime fan (anymore). But Ying’s is the wonderful type of place that this city used to have more of, and I wish San Francisco got back to. A small specialty shop with a passionate owner and abundant stock, serving a passionate niche. Going in there is like a wonderland of awesome models of Gundam, Dragonball, One Piece, Naruto, and many many more. For me, some great childhood memories. It’s tucked away in an alley in Chinatown and such a treat. I’ve been meaning to revisit since my first foray. My little gundam now sits on my bookshelf and I look at it often with fondness, something I made with my own hands, a calm respite from the fast pace of life. I hope you visit and do the same!
Do what you love and love what you do seems to be the motto for this place and it really shows. The owner is ultra nice and friendly and isn't the type of person that bugs you or annoys you if you walk around the store looking at all the sights to see in his small and quaint little shop. It's small but this place is packed to the brim with models,toys,and kits. You can see all the models and kits that the owner himself has finished and some in progress all strewn about the shop,it's always an adventure going in there and trying to see all the models and whatnot on display. Miku,kaiju's,sentai,dragon ball, and of course gundam are just some of the models you'll see here. The selections for the gunpla are pretty good. He carries Mr.Hobby paint pots of various colors that are located near his register counter. Like others have mentioned,there's really no banner or anything outside the shop that marks the store, I usually remember the store location by it being in an alley ,near the chinatown park,and the color green painted around the building lol. Just like the store front,it's not flashy nor pretentious, it's a store for hobby enthusiasts by a hobby enthusiast.
Ying Hobbies & Toys used to be on Sacramento St. seven years ago. They have a good selection of Gundam models at a reasonable price. It is nice to see those kits in person. Their advantage is they sometimes have rare premium Bandai kits available. It is nice to walk inside a hobby/toy store nowadays because most are extinct. The store itself is a mess. There are kits in-progress everywhere. They also have a limited selection of Hong Kong DVDs of concerts, movies and TV shows.
Awesome store for any Gundam lover. There is a great selection of model kits available and a huge display of completed kits that are fun to look at. The owner was very attentive without being over bearing and seemed very laid back. Prices seemed fair and reasonable. I only gave four stars because it was very cluttered and hard to see everything available. Great place, would reccomend to anyone looking to find some good Gundam kits. There were some model kits for other things available but definitely a majority Gundam!
Charmant magasin qui vous fera ressentir immédiatement la passion du propriétaire dès que vous franchirez le seuil. Des centaines de présentoirs disséminés dans tout le magasin et quelques projets en cours sur le banc de travail. Si vous êtes un passionné de gunpla, vous vous y reconnaîtrez tout de suite, car si vous aviez une grande pièce entièrement dédiée à votre collection, c’est peut-être à quoi cela ressemblerait. Certainement un magasin qui mérite le détour :)
