I'm 90% sure I visited this shop a couple times back when I lived in NJ. Sad that they are closing down, but 40 years serving the hobbies is a good run.

And now, I'm curious if they have any forgotten Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica or Space: 1999 models in there 🤔 🤣

I have a lot of fond soccer memories of that place, going way back to the old NASL days.
