The owners are super cool and easy to nerd out with. They did inform us that there store isn't fully stocked because of shipping and ordering delays it'll be better stocked in a month or two. They're currently a very new business, meaning if they don't have something you've been searching for talked to the owners and see if they'd be willing to acquire it for you. Overall we will be recommending the store and will be returning.
