Traxxas has been sold out of the TRX4 Sport High Trail edition for several months. I had been…read morelooking specifically for the blue version for a long time and had no success finding one available anywhere. I contacted more than 30 hobby shops within a 100 mile radius of Los Angeles. After weeks of searching, I finally found one at Mike's Hobbies. They had a brand new, factory sealed blue TRX4 Sport High Trail in stock and ready to ship, which was a huge relief. The pricing was exactly what Traxxas lists, with no markup or added fees. That alone was impressive given how hard this model has been to find. The ordering process was smooth and communication was clear and professional. Shipping was fast and the packaging was excellent. The truck arrived in a very sturdy box with plenty of bubble wrap and extra packing paper to protect everything inside. It was clear that real care was taken to make sure the item arrived safely and in perfect condition. Overall, my experience with Mike's Hobbies was extremely positive from start to finish. They delivered exactly what they promised and exceeded my expectations. I would confidently recommend Mike's Hobbies to anyone looking for hard to find RC vehicles or a reliable hobby shop that does things the right way.

We came back TWO days later to exchange it, only to be told that we couldn't complete the exchange because apparently a manager only comes in on Mondays to process refunds or exchanges. I'm not sure what kind of operation is being run here, but that is absolutely unacceptable customer service. If you're going to sell products, you should have a process in place to handle defective merchandise when customers return it. The value here is not good, and based on this experience, I would avoid this place at all costs. I'll be taking this up with my credit card company as well. only giving a 1 star review because we have to Front staff Member Corry is really incompetent and by default so is the manager

This store is unfortunately starting to feel more like a GameStop than a dedicated TCG shop. The…read morebiggest issue is the "Cultist" membership, which costs approximately $70 per month and, in my opinion, provides very little value for the average customer. The advertised benefits include access to sealed products at market pricing, 5% off singles, and entries into a lottery for the opportunity to purchase certain products at MSRP. However, these perks fall short when the store often has a very limited selection of singles available. Most of the binder inventory consists of heavily played or damaged cards, and there is rarely enough desirable inventory in-store to justify the membership cost. What makes this especially disappointing is that the store wasn't always this way. There was a time when they carried a strong selection of collectible cards and competitively priced sealed products. Today, the retail location feels more like a means to maintain distributor relationships than a store focused on serving the local community. While they are undoubtedly one of the largest names in the TCG industry, that reputation seems to come primarily from their presence at conventions and card shows. The physical storefront often lacks the inventory and customer experience that many collectors expect from a premier hobby shop. To their credit, they offer respectable trade-in values. Unfortunately, those trade-in percentages lose much of their appeal when there is little desirable inventory available to put that store credit toward. On the rare occasions that higher-end products or graded cards are available, the selection tends to be limited and often consists of less sought-after CGC or TAG slabs rather than cards many collectors are actively looking for. I genuinely used to enjoy visiting this store, which makes this review disappointing to write. However, based on my recent experiences, there are better local options for collectors and players looking for inventory, value, and an authentic hobby shop experience. Stores like Rizo and Tier 1 have done a much better job of maintaining the qualities that make a card shop worth visiting.

I came into the shop last week and was met with a very nice man in the train department. We had a…read moregreat talk about printing and layouts of my SciFy set. I went back to talk about the deal on a particular nscale train we had talked about today. The store has a great selection, bar none. I'm into L3 rockets, drones, etc as well... BUT.... here comes the part about customer service. The nice man I talked with last week was out and only appears to work on Mon, Wed and Friday. Today, (Thursday) the "whatever" manager that came to me was rude, acted like I was a bother. I said that I had talked to another person he was willing to make a deal. He then said MAP price only and abruptly turned around and walked away from me, not even giving me a chance to respond. I had cash and was willing to work the price to what he had, but never had the chance with his horrible attitude. If you are going to treat customers like this, you probably won't be around much longer. So now, I will endup getting the train on Ebay. Sadly, This is why people end up at Amazon and Ebay. You want to talk to a human and get treated like this. I was going to plug the shop on my youtube channel and also plug it in an upcoming magazine spot.., but.... Sorry, but that was a horrible way to treat a customer and won't be happening.

Draft events are my jam, and they run good ones here with friendly (and well-bathed!!) players. They've got a bunch of packs from old sets too, so if you're building a commander deck they can totally help you out. If you're looking to trade or sell cards you'll get fair value for them, especially if you go in for store credit to use on future purchases. ps. they also do a bunch of warhammer, see photo!

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.
