I'm honestly torn writing this because this place has been a part of my life for as long as I can…read moreremember. I've been going to this hobby store since the 1980s when I was just a kid, going there with my late father. It was one of those places that helped build a lifelong love for RC cars and the hobby itself. Now, decades later, I genuinely enjoy taking my own children there and sharing that same experience with them. It's something really special to me and my family. That's why this situation has been so hard. I dropped off an RC truck for repair and expected it might take some time. What I didn't expect was how long it actually took -- months and months passed while I waited. Eventually, when I called to check on it, I was told the truck had already been surrendered after 90 days. That news was absolutely heartbreaking. This wasn't just a piece of equipment to me. It was something I had invested a lot into and something tied to years of enjoyment in this hobby. I understand that businesses have policies, and I don't doubt they have rules in place, but learning about it only after the fact made the loss feel even worse. What makes this especially difficult is that I truly love this store. It's been part of my life story from childhood to now as a parent. I honestly can't imagine not going there anymore, and that's what makes this situation so emotionally complicated for me. I'm not posting this to attack anyone. I'm just really torn and hurt by how this played out, and I wish there had been more communication before it reached that point.

I started playing MTG this month and decided to go to this event alone... well, I was suppose to meet my husband's best friend, but he had a family emergency. It was intimidating at first when majority of the customers were guys. My only experience with MTG was playing against my husband. (My husband was unable to go to this event.) The staff members were friendly, professional, and patient. When I first arrived, I was looking at the Duskmourn bundles, commander deck, etc that were sitting behind the counter. The place was busy as staff members were checking in customers for the event, but I was approached and offered assistance quick. I also appreciate one of the staff members who took the time to help me assembled my deck and gave me advice - I had no idea what I was doing. The staff members seemed very knowledgeable of the new expansion(?), as well as how to play the game. I interacted with some of the guys attending the event who seemed nice and friendly. My opponent was also friendly and patient - he even offered friendly advice and gave me a chances to reconsider my moves. The staff members checked in after the first round. The staff members were very understanding and accommodating when I needed to leave the event early. They even said "bye" as I was leaving. Overall, it was a good experience. I wish I was a better MTG player, but time will get there. I also find it cool that they serve food there. There was lots of space to sit. They offer a variety of card sleeves, deck boxes, dices, and a ton of single MTG cards. It is also where the Lady Planeswalker Society (women who plays MTG) meets. I would definitely come back and try to make more MTG friends.

Replying to one star comment on here. You probably won't ever read this. But I'm sorry you had a…read morebad experience. Hobby grade RC is really far from toys for kids. It may have evolved from adults who still love toys and you may see it that way because of the scale details. But it's a very involved hobby. And if the parent isn't willing to get involved, the kid has no chance. I challenge you to do a little homework and get a car yourself. That is honestly the only way to take the hobby seriously. But with all that aside, I showed up as a very nervous adult who has never driven RC drift before. I brought my own car that I had just set up and they were more than helpful to answer any questions. I can't remember the pricing exactly but I was surprised, it is very reasonable. A seasoned patron was there, and he was even more helpful! I begrudgingly asked him to borrow his tools to move my motor from stock position to up high. He basically grabbed my car, did it for me and we chatted the whole time. I had a great experience. Thanks Ken G!!! They also rent cars, if I would've known that, I would've checked this place out a lot sooner. But I wanted to finish my car and get it somewhat ready to tune. So with that being said, I highly highly highly recommend this place for anybody into any type of RC or looking to get into a new fun somewhat involved, VERY rewarding Hobby.
