First time here and initial impression is good with a bright , clean and tidy interior full of Ikea shelves . There's also a separate room reserved for various Gundam model kits and 1/6th scale figures . Funny i can hear almost non-stop packing tape sounds coming from the back so i guess their online business must be booming ! Came here specifically for their Boxing week special and even though I'm only * one cent * away from qualifying for the $40 discount , dude suggested i should buy more instead . That's fine . Really . No biggie ; )

We were drawn in immediately, wide-eyed at all the tabletop and RPG items. We hung out at the back tables and played some demo tabletop games to kill time. I love their rating system, and the staff of course are very knowledgeable with recommendations. We ended up buying a few of the games when we got back home since we didn't have room in our suitcase. Since my fiancé is the DM of our D&D game, he got inspired by the books, minis, and scheduled games that take place at the shop. Such a neat place... We'd definitely be regulars if we moved here but for now, we'll settle on making this home base on our future trips to Vancouver.

They also have a decent amount of sports related stuffs like Jerseys and so forth. The employees I ended up talking to were pretty friendly and pretty helpful. As for prices, they're a bit up there but not out of the norm of how much the items typically go for everywhere else that sells similar attire and items. The only thing I wished they had stocks in were video games related to these kinds of stuffs, especially for older consoles or older RPG PC games. If you're into sports and RPG stuffs, poke your head into this store.

They have not listed the products as 'open' and I was not informed ahead of time about its condition, and they just shipped it.

I couldn't read the sign before to review on the store, but this store is fantastic! Rice crackers,…read moresauces, mixes, Japanese rice, cold beverages, chocolates are just a few items I've picked up. They also have a card/ toy section. What stands out is from this store is, all the snacks are not the normal ones you can get from TnT, Fujiya. It's not the largest store with the most variety but it has unique products. Prices are also more competitive than the other Japanese stores. Btw, they have discounted items that are near expiring that is crazy excellent pricing and I've never had an issue with. Free street parking on the front, next to a salon, and a sports racquet store.

The only other time I saw such a complete dollhouse specialty store was when I was about 10 years…read moreold, while vacationing in Winnipeg, MB. Ross' Miniature Treasure House is certainly NOT a tiny house displaying gems. It is a specialty hobby shoppe for all wonderful dollhouse things/furniture/additions/houses/etc. It has been standing for 26+ years and, though it is very difficult to maintain such a specialty shoppe, these owners seem to have found a relatively sustainable location that encourages some profitability. It is a little out of the way if you life in Vancouver or the Lower Mainland, but you will not be sorry that you made the trip. This store houses everything and anything that you have ever imagined for your dollhouse, or for someone else's hobby. I still remember the prices some 20 years ago in Winnipeg being outrageous for the miniatures, but Ross' Miniatures are priced at incredibly reasonable costs! The quality of the furniture and dollhouses are outstanding, so you also are investing in great product. You can find everything from the teeniest sushi rolls, to bunk beds, to queen Anne dining room sets, to silverware, to workable lighting fixtures, to spare parts for house renovations (including crown moldings, shingles, etc. etc. etc. ETC.) Service/owners are very friendly and helpful - and most importantly, not pushy at all! My only caution is to be alert of the time, as the store has pretty condensed hours of operation. Open: Tuesday thru Saturday - 9:30 to 4:00

Much to my dismay when I pulled it out of the bag the Sid Dickens box it was in was old and beat up and obviously housed a thicker tile at one point. There were crumbs of some kind inside the box and the tile was wrapped up inside a scrunched up piece of wax paper. Is this tile even new? Wh6 would you put in a dirty beat up box? What was that waxed paper used for originally? It felt beyond gross to have a suppisedly new tile artive in dirty used wrappings. As retail is just trying to get back on its feet after COVID, you'd especially think that packaging would be clean and unused.

Attempted to process a return with this business and was told they require the original till…read morereceipt--despite the fact that I presented an itemized receipt that clearly shows the full transaction details (date, items, price, and payment), which is exactly what a till receipt reflects. This requirement was never disclosed at the time of purchase, even though I specifically asked about their return process. Instead, after the fact, they pointed to wording on the receipt that says "receipts" (plural) as if that somehow retroactively justifies refusing the return. That is not transparent policy--it's moving the goalposts. In standard retail practice, an itemized proof of purchase is sufficient to process a return. Most businesses understand that the purpose of a receipt requirement is simply to verify the transaction. When a customer provides clear documentation that does exactly that, refusing a return on a technicality is not policy--it's avoidance. I have been a professional shopper supporting small businesses in this city for eight years, and I have never encountered a store using this kind of tactic. It comes across as slimy, unprofessional, and frankly dishonest. What's especially disappointing is that I've spent thousands of dollars here over the years. Instead of honoring a straightforward $300 return with valid proof of purchase, they chose to damage a long-standing customer relationship. Because of this experience, they've lost a loyal customer. I will also be advising other shoppers in my community to avoid this store due to what appears to be bad-faith and poor business practices. I cannot recommend a business that treats customers this way.
