The Hobby Shop – United Bricks

A teenager’s interest in printing custom minifigures became United Bricks and later a Castle Douglas shop. The Hobby Shop retains that origin in its own figures while expanding into LEGO, trading card games, Warhammer, and collectibles. Its King Street store and online sales bring together products for building, playing, or completing a collection.

Pre-owned LEGO has a prominent section. There are retired sets and Castle, Pirates, Space, Star Wars, and Bionicle offerings, with models identified by set number. This classification helps locate a specific series item and distinguish used products from new offerings also carried by the shop.

United Bricks minifigures retain the custom design work. The Scottish collection includes figures such as Scotsman with an Irn-Bru reference, alongside shop exclusives. These products are distinguished from official LEGO sets; the shop states that it operates independently of the manufacturer.

Trading card games include Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dragon Ball, and Star Wars Unlimited. Decks, booster packs, and accessories are organized by game, with universes such as Final Fantasy and Marvel within Magic. Listings show stock to distinguish a catalog reference from an available product.

Warhammer includes 40,000, Age of Sigmar, The Horus Heresy, The Old World, and other systems, alongside Black Library and accessories. Board games and tabletop products broaden the gaming offering. Funko Pop! figures, movie and video game collectibles, and plush toys add products for character and series fans.

The shop is at 86–88 King Street, Castle Douglas, DG7 1AD, and opens during a Wednesday-through-Saturday window. The online catalog allows new and pre-owned products to be explored before a visit. The business also has a BrickLink channel for LEGO parts, separate from its general sets and games selection.

The evolution from Toy Shop to Hobby Shop reflects the business’s broader interests while retaining its connection with the Dumfries & Galloway community. Vouchers and inquiry support complete shopping. Its offering covers several hobbies: a custom minifigure, a retired LEGO set, a deck, or a box for starting another game.
