The Brickyard outlets are found in QC and Makati.
(SPOT.ph) Did you even grow up in the '90s and early 2000s if you didn't hide a portion of your allowance for a random collector's hobby your mom would disapprove of? We all had childish guilty pleasures. One particularly consuming hobby was Tamiya racing. If you never grew out of your love for racing these mini-cars, you may want to head to The Brickyard.

Here's what you need to know about racing Tamiya kits at The Brickyard:
The Brickyard outlets can be found at Glorietta 2 in Makati for those in the South, and Vertis North in Quezon City for Northies. This hobby center has build-your-own-kits of remote-control cars, mini-four-wheel drives, and other collectibles.
For avid collectors and those who are into building, customizing, and racing their model kits, The Brickyard is the place to score holy grail Japanese spare parts, custom designs, and key elements to take your model units to the next level.
But aside from being your typical hobby center where you can shop for your materials, you can even build your kits at the store and test them out immediately. Inside The Brickyard Glorietta and Vertis Road is a pretty cool mini-four-wheel-drive racetrack. Here you can race the mini-four-wheel drive Tamiya kits you built for free.
Imagine this, a date night with your motorhead S.O., you build a mini-car together, get 'em to geek out about all the parts, the design, and customizations, then race on the tracks. Sounds like a great time to us.
You just found yourself a lifehack for when you can't sate your need for speed IRL. These Tamiya model kits can hit the spot.
The best part is it won't cost you an arm and a leg. Basic model kits can start as low as P300. So if you want to try it out and experience the thrill, you can start with simple cars before going for the big guys.
Once you get the hang of racing mini-four-wheel-drives, you can soon move up to full remote-controlled vehicles and even try your hand at racing in tournaments organized by The Brickyard.
