    Doesn't keep his own posted business hours ‍ Drove here from Diamond Bar for some modeling putty today and there's nobody in the store on a Thursday @ 12:30pm. Not sure how this clown stays open when he's always closed? Not going to "call for an appointment" for $6 tube of putty

    Geeeez...i forgot to add this photo in my review

    Love helicopters and planes. This place does have some really nice aircraft...etc... We walked in and the guy running the place came inside from smoking a cigarette outside. We asked him a few questions but he acted like he didn't want to help us. I asked about if he had any helicopters.. He stayed behind the counter and pointed to the corner of the store and said, "they're in the corner over there." Well if you can't be more upbeat and take a few seconds of your time to assist us....then adios amigos.... Later dude...

    Why can't they streamline the check out process? I have been in line for 90 minutes! The line is always long here, but this is nuts.

    If I need a part, I come here, get it and get out if I don't want to waste time on shipping. The service is not the friendliest.

    I saw on their Instagram page that they're going to close this location soon. Sad that I only found…read moreout about their location here and recently visited. As of this review, they're currently having a 40% sale of the entire store with a section that's 50% off. I've seen them vend at a lot of SoCal anime conventions, always seeing attendees carry around their logo shopping tote bags with purchases, but alas I feel like the location (swaths of closed shops in the mall) things didn't line up, sadly. There's some cute photo opportunities and there's a decent mix of nerdy collectible goods there like Pop Up Parade figures, Nendoroids, Figma, Funko Pops (ugh), some western media (Star Wars and Stranger Things), Poke'mon goods (cards and some vintage figures), and blind boxes. Was very neat that they had Fate figures since I don't see that as often anymore, unless it's only prize figures, but they had the Figma for Okita Alter, the scale figure for Skadi, and Saber Alter Copoche. However, I'm sadly not in the market for figurines as a person out of space (I'll have you one day Oberon and Nobbu scale figures). Worker was quiet and minded their own business, but answered questions when need be. Hopefully conventions can help them more than what the mall had to offer.

    This is a big store with a lot of anime figurines. They are not cheap but very pleasant to check…read moreout. There is a spot in the corner to take a break.

This is a store that sells children's toys, which makes this behavior even more disturbing. The environment should be welcoming and respectful, especially for families. I think it is worse that he thought he was being discreet about it, but we can hear him as we browse near the check out line... From a customer standpoint, the owner is also extremely pushy. He does not allow customers to browse comfortably and continues to tell me about new items even when we told him that we are just looking. The store itself is very cluttered, with items clumped together so tightly that it's difficult to tell products apart. The lack of professionalism, both in how the store is run and how employees are treated, is very concerning. If he is like this in public I cannot imagine how he is in person... Customers notice these things... and it's disappointing to see behavior like this continue unchecked... We will no longer shop here!!

    I had a great experience at King Bolt Co. I came in with a problem I wasn't sure how to fix, and…read morethe tall guy working there went above and beyond to help me out. He took the time to listen to what I needed, helped me find the exact hardware and fasteners for the job, and made sure everything would work before I left. His knowledge, patience, and customer service saved me a lot of time and frustration. It's hard to find employees who genuinely care about helping customers solve problems, but he definitely did. Thanks to his help, I was able to get everything fixed quickly and correctly. I highly recommend King Bolt Co. for anyone looking for quality hardware and excellent customer service. I'll definitely be coming back for future projects.

Today I drove here from Rancho Cucamonga in search of torque screws for a shed of mine. When my number came up, the tall guy with pimples and a goatee came over to me and just looked at me...no "hello" or "can I help you." I showed him the bolt I needed and even brought him a torque or star bit I preferred the bolts have the fitting for; I asked for six such bolt replacements. All while I was explaining what I needed, he was holding a conversation with someone else behind the counter. He returned from the back with one bolt a different length, a phillips head instead of a torque head, and no attention was given to my request that it be a flathead bolt. Generally, he treated me like crap. Maybe I am the wrong color or ethnicity for this place. He clearly showed me that he didn't give a damn about me as customer. I have several friends who frequent this place. I will be relating this experience to them; King Bolt might want to consider that those working at their counter represent them and the great quality of service they've been respected for over the years. One jerk really can negatively impact their hard-earned positive reputation.

    Value is in the eye of the beholder!…read more There are deals if you look for them. This mall like many other malls nationwide, is slowly disappearing. There is even a page that posts about all the closed malls. It's on FB if you want to look for it. It's sad really, if you think about it. Where will you go when there are no more malls to go hang out on a Saturday afternoon? Or when you have teens full of energy that just need a safe and non threatening environment? Where will you go if you just want to get out of the house for a couple hours and maybe get a snack or meet a friend after work ? Bars are not the only places to hang out. Although, those are quietly disappearing too. If you'd like to keep this mall, social space, and have a place to hang out like we did before 2020 told you to stay home and pushed online, ama zon shopping on you. It was planned. Go see how much ama zon is worth now. I digress. The mall is a community center for gathering. Of course there are parks, but what about when it rains or it's too hot outside ? Come on we live in the valley. The summer can be very hot and we need to geo somewhere to cool down. Right ? The mall needs more visitors to stay alive. Stop buying online: Plus, by coming in person you support jobs. Jobs are scarce these days. Very scarce. I know several people looking for jobs. Let's not give them excuses to close down. I'm just sharing because lots of places are closing down and it's not ok. Communities thrive when small businesses and local businesses are thriving. Do you want those community to vanish or will you come support it at least on the weekends here and there ? So what do you say ? Come down for a stroll ? Let's go get lemonade or a cinnamon roll YUMMMM ! You can always come for walk after having Portos next door, too. Just saying & giving you ideas. If you agree let's be friends :) Happy New Year 2026! Happy yelping ! SYOY ! SHARE :)
