They threw in something for free as I had my adorable kids with me. For next time, it would be great if they added a few more "girls" toys that they might be interested in, some balls or active things, etc. It's a lot of figurines and vintage toys. But great staff and plenty of stuff to take in! Glad to have them near the freeway, when on your way to a birthday party. :)

John, the co-owner also sells drills. My gaming buddy came with me shot the breeze with John to find he had a shared love of a wide selection of games.

I would post a photo of John but I forgot to ask his permission - maybe someone else can take his photo and get his permission. Knows a ton.

Scott has been in the RC business for decades and is/was professionally sponsored and knows his cars/setups. Todd and Kevin are equally as knowledgeable and have no problem talking to New comers and veterans alike, always offering sage advice and tips, even taking the time to really get to know you and foster a relationship. I'm an old school RC racer/hobbyist who was in it back in the Tamaya Frog and OG RC-10 days. I just recently decided to get back into it and this shop/staff has made it a no-stress and fun endeavour! On top of that they welcome young kids with open arms and have no problem with them hanging out and even racing their RC cars on the track! On top of it all they love the military and offer a military discount to show their appreciation. Truly a top notch small-business!

The store associates were exceptionally helpful. One of them played the game as well, and was able to show me a few things I didn't know and suggest a couple of products I hadn't thought of to get. The cost was fair for the products I bought. I'm also disabled and the aisles had plenty of room, for me and my wheelchair to be able to get around, which even in big chain stores can be a problem. Also, even though it's downtown, there are designated spots for the store. I highly recommend this store!

After encountering the rude and clueless "staff" at the Tukwilla -Southcenter Hobby Town store, I was pleasantly surprised by customer service that was so thorough and knowledgeable at RCH. Not only is the crew super knowledgeable, but the inventory is top notch. I write few reviews on the net, but this business deserves an A+ rating for all things radio control and static models.

So then I had to come back the following then after that to talk to the manager, he didn't even want to look at the car which isn't cheap. I was willing to upgrade to a nicer, more expensive option but was still told no. DO NOT recommend this place. BAD customer service. Stuff happens and business work with customers who use their business but this place didn't even look at the brand new control truck. Which cost a pretty penny!

I didn't know what to expect but was super surprised by how much cool stuff the store had! I was looking for a gameboy game but ended up finding about 10 things I wanted to buy on my next visit. They had tons of old toys that I used to have or have been wanting to get from pretty niche series like Monsieur Bome, Masamune Shirow figures, and even my old favorite army vehicles from Mega Force. The owner was playing Pokemon on the big screen when I walked in but was super helpful and friendly. I am definitely a fan of this place and will stop by any chance I can get when I'm down in the area.

I'm a little disappointed with myself that I was not aware of this shop in all this time I've resided in Tacoma. They have a neat interesting variety of toys and video games. This review is going to focus on my interaction with Alex and Alex from a seller's standpoint. I have a fair amount of collectibles and there were a couple action figures I was looking to (reluctantly) unload (a 1983 Inspector Gadget doll and a NECA Ada Wong to be exact). I had looked online and consulted various other stores in the area and the few offers I had received were far from fair. I'm happy to report that Alex and Andy knew the market and what my items were going for online. We even looked them up together. We had some obligatory endearing haggling and in the end they offered me a fair price for my beloved items. They were the only store that I had spoken with in the local area that were not only fair in their evaluation but even in the same league as the market value. They even appreciated the items as much as I did so I knew they would end up in a good home. Again, I only wished I knew about them sooner. I will definitely keep them in mind for the future when I inevitably decide to sell some cherished childhood treasures. Cheers, guys.
