A young man at the register (I didn't get his name) helped me and was extremely helpful. He explained all about the different types of cement, paints, and models available today. So much has changed since I built models and he took the time to explain the state of the industry today. I was very grateful for his sharing his knowledge with me. I recommend anyone interested in getting into this hobby to go here to purchase anything you need.

This spacious shop is very clean and organized which makes it very easy to browse and see what they have to offer, and seems like they also buy, sell and trade items as well which is pretty cool though not sure how it's done but for the true collector this is a great deal and a valuable convenient place to do so, it's not quite my vibe but is a cute shop which many seem to enjoy. Thank you!

Always the best recommendations. Would recommend taking a stop at Dragon's Lair when possible!read more

NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN!!!…read more I rarely leave negative reviews, but this needs to be documented. At Dragon's Lair in Mililani, my daughter purchased a $15 pin with her own pocket money. It broke after only three or four days due to poor assembly. When she politely returned to ask about a replacement, the owner, Lucas, spoke to her with extreme verbal abuse, profanity, and personal insults until she left in tears. When I addressed the situation calmly, he stated that he did not care that he had made a child cry and continued speaking aggressively. This is not about a refund policy. A business can choose its policy. This is about basic conduct toward a minor and a customer. We have supported this store many times, but after this experience, we will not return. Families in Mililani should know how customers, including little children, may be treated here. Based on this experience, I would not feel comfortable bringing my child back into this store.

Prices are great at where they are at, please don't raise them. :) I remember they used to be at MTC and they had a lot of snacks. No snacks that I seen during our visit. But lots and lots of cards and vinyl figures for sale. I had to look back at my pictures because I seen Sailor Moon. We will continue to come here! Two free street parking stalls out front.

Coming in just before noon Pro Bowl Sunday with a friend, I pondered about how long it's been since…read moreI've visited a store in this line. My friend knew what he sought while I browsed and reminisced as I saw different sports cards. The store layout is similar to stores in the Bay Area with various cards in glass cases and less valuable cards in bins organized by sport and age. I saw a cabinet on the right with some memorabilia from the Pro Bowl from years gone by ()https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=408&select=i24JOx064HzUlh0BmyKj-g. There were comic books and magazines towards the back of the store. I bought a card and my generous friend gifted me a card (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=264&select=YnBbD_lNxCidzMVHaEjaoQ). I am bit out of touch with card collecting as it's been several decades since I kept up. The market has changed where they are now a commodity. Those in-the-know will attest to that. Caught up with the momentum of history possibly being made the following week, I bought a Patrick Mahomes card. Thank you to Dave and Jeff who manned the store and answered questions as they came up. They told me that the owner, Calvin, has been in the business for quite a while and I might have likely shopped at his store in the '90's when the hobby was still of interest to me.

The faces were stained (see photo 2 and 4), the kuromi hat was a STICKER (see photo 1). The entire product was smudged and ripping. Even the foot was BACKWARDS (see photo 6). I get that there are replicas of popular name brand product but at least tell me that it is a replica or it's not authentic. OR in the very least have the product not look like shit and paying the same price as an authentic one. These are HORRIBLE. I have my genuine afternoon tea series pochacco next to the box they sold to me and I am VERY DISAPPOINTED. The head is crooked, I can see the stitch ripping on its head (see photo 4), and there's a black smudge on his face. This is not worth $30, even if I didn't know what the real one looked like. I WILL NEVER BE SHOPPING HERE AGAIN. As a small business owner, I would never sell something of this quality to anyone. This is shameful. Very disappointed in product quality.
