    We travel full time for work so the wife and I took a month or so to spend in the Joshua Tree area…read morein our off time. We decided to desert camp close to a RC track. The 1st time we visited the owner and staff were helpful, friendly, and social. They invited us for race night and said we could even use a rental car for the night since we didn't have anything for their class. Unfortunately, that whole experience felt like we just paid to be track marshals and then be rushed into races we weren't even ready for. Either way, we made the best of it and enjoyed our time together through the event. At the end of the night, the owner asked me about my experience and, being transparent, I told him the other racers were driving dirty by putting other drivers intentionally into the wall and, from my experience, I wasn't really a fan of rushing out to marshal every race while I watched regulars sit back. Over the next few days, the owner began to display a growing chip on his shoulder. At one point, I was working on my car and asked the owner if he could help me with some soldering. He said he would help but avoided my pit table for the rest of the evening and even made a snide remark to another customer about being asked to solder something for me. If it weren't for another regular there who ended up giving me a hand with the soldering, I'd probably still be waiting for the owner to come through with his commitment. We were invited for another race night after fixing our short course truck. We drove an hour trip to the track only to be told they weren't racing that class that night. So, we stayed and watched all the races to make it worth our trip. That must've upset the owner because, afterwards, we went to a local outdoor track and were told all about the local drama. Unfortunately, as visitors to the area, minding your own business isn't good enough for the owner of Coyote Hobbies because he will want to start drama with you. If you're not from the area, he will likely try to make you the scapegoat for his own drama. With how uncomfortable he made us feel over time during our stay, I'd highly recommend anyone traveling through to avoid this place if you don't care for conflict and drama. This place is known for it and has no problem making you the center of the drama they start. The owner is well-aware that he is the only race track/hobby shop in the area, and he has no problem using that monopoly to his advantage. It is people like this who turn newcomers away from the hobby, and it's clear that he really only cares about advancing his and his son's careers in the RC world. Be prepared to kiss the proverbial ring if you plan to take a trip to Coyote Hobbies.

    Originally this was going to be a 1 star review however Aiden changed all that. I originally was…read moreapproached by a gentleman who was bald and glasses (sorry did not offer his name) with a black polo shirt. I explained my project and he seemed disinterested in the idea and gave short one word answered and walked away. Seemed to care more about sorting rocket engines and helping a customer who was looking at a new rc car than myself or my son. Went to ask someone else for help. Aiden listened to our ideas and we needed. He went to work to provide us with the materials we needed and was very kind to myself and my son Aiden single handedly saved our experience. From my observations the black polo shirt gentleman seemed to be management - where I think Aiden would have been a better manager. Hobby stores are hard to come by these days and this experience could have easily converted me to seek guidance online, however Aiden changed this. Please go to this store for Aiden. But avoid the guy in the black polo shirt belongs in the tool selection.

    I drove about 30 minutes out to HobbyTown Corona specifically because I was told yesterday that the…read more"Squeezy's" would be available today after 4 PM once they were scanned into the system and put out. I rearranged my schedule and made time to come back based on what your staff told me. When I arrived today, I was told they still weren't out yet. When I asked if there was anything they could do since I was specifically instructed to come back at that time, the employee at the front basically acted indifferent and just said there was nothing they could do. I've been in retail for years, and entering inventory into a system is not some massive impossible task. This honestly came across as laziness and a complete lack of concern for customer satisfaction. Don't tell customers to come back at a specific time if you're not actually prepared to follow through. Traffic and gas prices in Southern California are terrible. People are spending real time and money to come support your business, so at least be considerate of that when making promises to customers. I understand inventory processing takes time, but communication and effort matter. A simple apology or attempt to help would have gone a long way. The store is large and packed with product, but there also weren't many customers there, which makes the lack of urgency even more frustrating. The owner should seriously consider improving management and customer service standards because experiences like this are exactly why customers stop coming back.

    Amazing staff and tournament play, they have a large variety of of any trading card games to…read more(yugioh,Pokemon,magic the gathering, one piece and much more!). They also host a lot of tournaments for different games here with great prizing! I would recommend anyone to visit and participate in their events/tournaments. Each game has great judges that will help out for any scenario or questions when it comes towards any game. Not to mention they have an amazing point system when you purchase product, I have saved a lot of money when it came towards their point system would highly recommend supporting this card shop because they do an amazing job in keeping product for people when sets release. Also they have a wide variety in snacks and drinks for a cheap price. This is without a doubt the best card shop I have ever been to that supports their customers, games and product in California. Thank you for hosting awesome events and giving back to the community!!

Are you going to reschedule them, or what are your intentions to do with the prerelease merch Bandai has sent you? I've tried giving your business many chances, and even on one event a group of us went in on a Saturday in hopes of just hanging out and playing while the business was open. They told us no, and we even offered to pay to just sit on the tables and play, and then the employees told us they were closing. So we ended up playing at the Toms next door. 2 and half hours later we noticed the location was still open. Just a clear visual of how you don't treat new people with fair treatment. I bring up my concerns because my friends and I have experienced these situations there.
