About Us

Hi there! We’re Jeremy and Melissa Truxillo, the husband-and-wife team behind Big Boy Toys and Hobbies. Back in 2004, we opened our doors in Lafayette with a small 1,000 sq. ft. shop, a modest inventory, and one big goal: to bring quality hobby and specialty toy products to local families and hobby enthusiasts.

Fast forward to today, and our little shop has grown into a go-to destination for all things hobby and toy. We’ve expanded our space, our team, and our selection—but our mission remains the same: to offer top-notch products with even better service.

From remote control cars, planes, helicopters, and boats to puzzles, educational toys, games, and model kits, there’s something here for every age and interest. Whether you’re a seasoned hobbyist or just starting out, we love helping people discover the fun and excitement a new hobby can bring.

We’re proud to be your locally owned source not only for all things remote control—but also for a wide variety of toys, games, and unique gifts for all ages.

At Big Boy Toys and Hobbies, we take pride in being more than just a store—we’re a community. Our knowledgeable team of hobby experts is always ready to answer questions, share tips, and make sure you get the most out of your purchase.

Why Shop with Us? At Big Boy Toys and Hobbies, we believe in quality you can count on. We carefully choose the brands we carry, attend industry trade shows, and only stock products we stand behind 100%. If we sell it, we support it.

Unlike big box stores, we don’t just hand you a product and send you on your way. We’re here to help—before and after the sale—because your experience matters to us.

Thanks for choosing Big Boy Toys and Hobbies—your local destination for hobbies, toys, games, and gifts. We can’t wait to help you find your next favorite thing!
