My husband and I recently took our very first trip to Las Vegas, and one of the most memorable…read moreparts of our visit was discovering Downtown Hobby 9. My husband is a big Gundam fan, and while exploring the area, he found this amazing little shop just off the Strip. As soon as we walked in, I could tell he was in heaven--it was like watching a kid in a candy store! The shop had a fantastic variety of Gundam kits, including models from Japan and another section from China. The collection was so well-organized and fun to explore. While we were shopping, my husband noticed that some of the same kits he had purchased online before were priced about $15-$20 less elsewhere. But even knowing that, he didn't hesitate--he wanted to support this small, local business. That meant a lot to both of us, especially after learning the shop is backed by its own tight-knit community. "Locals supporting locals" is something we value. The staff were also genuinely kind and welcoming. I wish I remembered their names--they made the experience even more enjoyable. We ended up buying quite a few kits and were concerned about how we'd get them all back to San Francisco. Fortunately, they offered shipping, and everything arrived quickly and was packed with such great care. We also noticed they were selling some awesome shirts and learned that the artwork was created by one of their community members. The designs were so cool and creative that we decided to purchase a few. We actually came back for a second visit during our second trip to Vegas--and, of course, picked up even more Gundam kits and shirts. With recent tariffs being added to imports, we wouldn't be surprised if prices go up by the time we're back in August. So honestly, what we paid might end up being a deal! If you're a Gundam fan or just love supporting genuine, community-driven small businesses, Downtown Hobby 9 is absolutely worth a visit. We're already looking forward to stopping by again on our next trip--stay tuned!

What caught my attention was that they also have things that I don't expect to find especially in this city such as figures for NIKKE: Goddess of Victory, Girls' Frontline (small selection), and Blue Archive. Their display shelves were also cool to look at and see figure scales and details. 2. The prices felt reasonable to me as it'd be more expensive if I bought things elsewhere online. 3. The staff were extremely welcoming and upon checkout, mentioned their account system to earn rewards. The staff member who serviced me went out of her way to help me out in our checkout. I highly recommend this store if you are a big collector or an anime fan as they have lots of items catering to many franchises.

From the land of the rising sun we can all agree on this the Pokémon is in our hearts and minds. Weaved into our culture. The yellow Pikachu, the yellow electric rat so many ways to love him. This store is all things that are Pokémon. All the characters. In all their glory. This store is busy, so please be patient . You might have to wait to go inside. The staff is very calm and friendly. They are always helpful. They are knowledgeable about what they are dealing in. If you are looking to trade they will give you a great price. If you are looking for something from the past it's worth a look to see what that collection needs. All in all it's a great place to come and see pop culture fun.

Probably the worst shop in Vegas. The only good thing is they have a lot of inventory. The bad…read morething is they have a lot of inventory because they want people to pay 130-150% of market . My husband went in to buy Uta manga psa10 . Last sales were all around 720$ and a couple at 800$ . 800 was highest sale . My husband offered highest last sold at 800$ and they said no we are firm at 850+tax . Not willing to even sell at market or slightly higher . They want 50$ plus tax over market on a one piece card which is down right now on a card with low hype . It's not like Uta is going to skyrocket in the near future . This has consistently been our experience the last 5 or 6 times we have been here . Staff is also rude when you negotiate for market I would suggest going to the other shops in town who are more down to earth. I've never had a shop turn down highest last sale in a card . Even more so when last few sales where at 720 UPDATE : responding to the owners comments . We were looking at market live no one is sensitive to market changes . Instead of her being firm and hard on the sale she should know to go back and ask if they can sell it at 800. I know you would have taken 800 because that's slightly above market but your rep wasn't even willing to ask and that's the problem . We looked at comps together and both agreed the comps justify 800$ but she still chose to say no we are firm at 850 instead of asking someone higher up . This isn't the first time either . This would be about the 5-6 time we had a similar experience buying and selling . My husband did a review months back dealing with an issue similar when selling and considering multiple people hearted the comment , it shows he is not the only one experiencing this . Your staff should know to go ask if the comps make sense instead of putting up a brick wall and out of ego saying "no we are firm at 130% of market 2nd UPDATE!!! I attached photos of my conversation with owner on instagram via DM . Now I understand why the staff is the way they are . Rude , unprofessional, and even started to threaten a court of law nothing is edited out for full transparency of the experience you can expect from this owner and his staff .

It's a bit off the Las Vegas Strip but as I have a rental car it wasn't too far of a drive. First and foremost the two people working the front counter were two of the nicest and friendliest workers of a Local Gaming Store (LGS) that I have ever met anywhere. Being from CA this shocked me in the most positive way. Kudos to them. They were so helpful and eager to answer any questions I had. Secondly. This had to be the cleanest and nice smelling LGS I've ever stepped foot in. As my wife was with me she will tell you that we have been to some LGS's that are have bad air circulation and don't smell very good. Omniscience Cards and Game really goes above and beyond to make their store look and feel welcoming. Bought some card sleeves, nice deck box, an MTG single and 5 pack of MTG packs. A bonus that the workers let me pick my packs from the boxes which for me is a huuuuuuge bonus! All items were fairly priced and reasonable. Overall a wonderful experience and I definitely will be back the next time I visit Las Vegas

When I went to pick up the packs, I asked the cashier if they could throw in a box of top loaders and she said "Sorry, I can't do that." Shocked at her answer I replied "Really?! Even after spending $450+ on product? You guys usually do." She replied with the same response. I left the store feeling annoyed and unappreciated. You think a local card shop would have better business sense when it comes to customer retention. I guess it's just Legacy Card Shop from now on.

One step forward, two steps back…read more Pricing, product availability and store layout are all still 5 star. But the staff...yikes. I get that this genre attracts a unique crowd but the extremely socially awkward staff here just really can turn someone away. On many occasions, I'll see eight employees in the store with perhaps two customers. A few of those workers are practically superglued to the floor behind the counter. Most of the staff seem regularly engaged in conversations which each other. No inquiries to the customer about assistance, no engagement, no product knowledge, just a lot of people collecting paychecks. The owner himself is somewhat tactless with his communication. Seems to constantly want to prove he knows a little bit more about something than the customer, and when it's clear the customer is highly knowledgeable about a subject at hand, he shuts down completely. It's just a completely awkward vibe.
