The staff are attentive and quick to serve and offer suggestions for whatever a customer might be looking for. There's a tower dice game at the front counter a patron can roll dice once a day for a possible discount. They have plenty of tables set up for open game time for people who bring their own and Saturday nights open game time with games provided for those who might need one. I was looking for simple and easy to play games for family get-togethers and found what I was looking for on the consignment Shelf

This is one of the biggest and most comprehensive hobby shops I have been to in a long, long time…read more These don't exist anymore in NYC, having gone extinct by lack of interest and internet commerce. Supplying many of these hobbies have been relegated to a few shelves in big-box craft shops like Michaels and Hobby Lobby in the US. Once I found Imperial Hobbies on Yelp during our vacation and it was near our hotel, I made my plans. I dropped my wife off for her spa day and this was going to be my spa day ;) The store is in a group of buildings almost at the end of the runway of Vancouver Airport (YVR). If you hang around, you'll see tons of airliners approaching for landings and roaring off on take offs. I just couldn't believe the selection of plastic models of planes, armor, cars and trucks along with complete selections of paint and finishing materials. It's these types of stores that I would spend hours in as a boy, but could only stare wide-eyed because I never had much money back then. But now as an adult with a job and disposable income, I probably would have gone broke if I didn't have to pack everything into my luggage to fly home. The favorable CAD$ to USD$ exchange rate also helped a lot in my shopping. I ended up with a couple of scale plastic model kits and a flying model rocket that are rare, out of production kits or very hard to find, even on-line.

However if you're more interested in say action figures or Star Wars collecting then disappointed you will be as what's on offer does seem more like an afterthought . Also their prices are quite a bit more than 'em chains , but tbh I'm just happy that brick and mortar stores like this still exists as they're a slowly dying breed .

Even though my fiancé and I were in town for a magic show, most of our trip centered around One…read moreStop Shop. I can't remember how we found it... Probably wandering around for a place to eat. 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.

I always find something every time I go, and they have frequently had sales on books, i've gotten a few for up to 50% off, and the selection is quite big! The customer service is also always good, never had a negative experience there and workers frequently check in to make sure you're finding what you're looking for, especially if you're like me and take hours picking out your next book or journal to write in. Would recommend 100 times over!

I stopped in to The Book Rack today and decided to have a light snack at the Cafe inside…read more I chose the Mushroom and Olive flatbread and Autumn Heat tea. The flatbread was nice and crispy with a good flavor for something pre-made and just needed to be heated. But the highlight of my visit was the Autumn Heat tea. The "Heat" refers to the spice level (one of the ingredients is Hot Honey), you can choose for it to be served hot or cold. I chose to have it served hot. I really enjoy spicy food and drinks. This tea was very spicy! If you enjoy spicy foods you should give this one a try. Otherwise, I recommend you pass on this one! As normal, the staff are very friendly, knowledgeable about what they sell, and polite. Always a pleasure to shop at The Book Rack.

Two out of the last three years I either couldn't make it very early or couldn't make it at all for Free Comic Book Day. The Staff suggested I send a Facebook message listing the titles I really wanted and they would try and set aside copies, and they did both years. I traded in a short box of comics for store credit. Realized of course that they couldn't give me retail value before doing it, but still got more than I was expecting. The amount of titles they stock from large, small and medium publishers alike is impressive. They have fulfilled several special orders I've requested. The Game Room for RPG, card games, etc. is spacious and inviting. Feel pretty fortunate to have this store in my area.

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.
