Does anyone know any shops dealing in radio control and/or models in general in Seoul? Any with web pages? Must be open Saturdays or Sundays as I'm from out-of-town.

Does the toy section of Dongdaemun have this type of store?

After buying something online I wasn't really thrilled with I would prefer to buy from a shop so I can see exactly what I'm getting before paying for it.

Thanks for any advice.

There's a store near Samgakji station, line 6, but I have not been inside to say how good it is.

I can't remember the exit number, but it's in the south-west corner of the junction.

You are spoiled for choice in Korea, the hobby's popular here.

TAMIYA KOREA is based down in Yangjae Dong and has a full showroom of made and displayed models and RC stuff.

ASEM HOBBY[b] is in the KOEX shopping centre and has a lot of stuff.

Also various model shops around the Samgakji area.
