I AM OPEN TO WALK IN CUSTOMERS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 3 YEARS
After 3 years of being closed to walk in customers, due primarily to Covid and latter the store being used to operate a mail and internet order business, I am open again. Effective immediately I will be open to the public Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from noon till 6 PM. I have made sure all showcases are fully stocked, most with fresh vintage merchandise. I hope to eventually have HO races on my 6 lane routed 16 x 5 1/2 foot table. Day and time will depend on interest level, so if you want to race let me know.
I will still be doing internet, mail and phone sales, so please LMK your interests at njhobby@aol.com or call during the above hours 908-322-2676. If you are planning a visit, especially if you are coming any distance, I would advise a phone call to verify that I will be available when you would like to visit. I will do my best to post times on this website when I might have to close for any reason.
Until July 22 all new Carrera and Scalextric 1/32 cars and sets are 15% off marked price (cash, Visa, Master Card or Discover only) This does not apply to vintage items. I look forward to your visits and calls.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: I WILL BE OPEN ONLY THROUGH THE 2023 CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS AND THEN I WILL BE CLOSING THE STORE FOR GOOD.
NJ NOSTALGIA HOBBY LIMITED EDITION JAMES DEAN COMMEMORATIVE PORSCHE 356
WHATS NEW IN ONE THIRTY TWO 101422
For years Carrera was the ‘go to’ slot car company for 1/32 Formula One slot cars. Then two years ago, they stopped making F1 slot cars. Scalextric has just moved in to fill that void. Three releases from Scalextric, all classics and in my opinion great choices. First is the Lotus 99T in the Camel livery driven by Ayrton Senna and Satoru Nakajima beginning in 1987 with much success. Next is one of my favorites, the First National City Bank 6 wheel Tyrrell P34 as raced in 1977. Last is the iconic John Player Special Renault Elf in black and gold again driven by Ayrton Senna in the Portuguese Grand Prix in 1985. All are in stock and are $69.99 each.
C4322 SCALEXTRIC BLUES BROTHERS DODGE MONACO BLUESMOBILE 1:32 SLOT CAR DPR
This might be one of the coolest slot cars ever made (my opinion.) It is the Blues Brothers Dodge Monaco Bluesmobile 1/32 scale Scalextric Slot Car. This is an analog car but is Digital Plug Ready. If you have a Carrera Digital set, the Carson chip offered elsewhere on this website should work. $69.99
MIKE PISANO CLASSIC 2022
Hi All, The following is a message from Mario ‘the Chief’ Pisano:
WHAT’S NEW IN HO 032822
WHAT’S NEW IN HO 032422
Just arriving this Spring from Bauer of Germany NJH-02 was this VERY limited edition HO slot car. This is the second special edition car from Bauer exclusively for NJ Nostalgia Hobby. If you were lucky enough to get NJH-01 the two tone (red and white vintage VW beetle) you know the level of detail will be fantastic. NJH-02 is a Porsche 911 Targa with open top and for the first time I can recollect in an HO slot car a female driver. This will be a blonde woman with wind blown long blond hair (see pics). I am allowing the purchase of only ONE car per person . This is to assure everyone who wants one gets a chance to own one. Direct purchase price $134.99 + shipping. Please call 908-322-2676 Wednesday through Saturday noon till 6 PM only to get yours. Only 50 were made for me and only a couple of handfuls remain.
Different angle of the driver figure.
STORE HOURS UPDATE 012222
It had been my plan to open the store to the public one day a week beginning either Saturday July 31 or Saturday August 7, 2021 having been closed to the public since March of 2020. Unfortunately that is when the Delta variant drove the number of CoVid cases up again. I then planned to open Mid December 2021 and Omicron hit. At this time I have no plan to open to the public. Thank you for your patience and your patronage.
I will still be filling mail, phone and internet orders and allowing pre arranged front door pickups. If you would like photos sent to you by email of items you may be interested in please contact me at njhobby@aol.com or call 908-322-2676 Wednesdays through Saturdays between the hours of 11:30 and 6 PM. Regards and stay well. Joe
