I'm writing this because the experience was genuinely disappointing…read more My husband has been coming to this shop for quite some time whenever he can, and he has always enjoyed it. Because my doctor's appointment was nearby, I came along with him. I am currently 39 weeks pregnant and scheduled for a C-section tomorrow. While browsing, I found items I intended to purchase, but first needed to use the restroom. I asked the employee at the desk if there was a restroom available, and I was told the closest one was across the street at a gas station. This was confusing, considering this is a shop where patrons often spend hours browsing, trading cards, and participating in tournaments. When I pointed that out, another employee chimed in to say the restroom was "not open to the public" unless there was a tournament. At that point, multiple employees began offering explanations that felt dismissive rather than helpful. As a visibly very pregnant customer, accompanying my husband who is an established patron, being told to walk across the street to a gas station restroom felt incredibly inconsiderate and humiliating. I ultimately walked away because the interaction was becoming upsetting. My husband was equally frustrated, and we left immediately. I understand businesses can have restroom policies, but basic compassion and customer service matter--especially in situations involving pregnancy or medical need. This experience left a very negative impression.

Oh MAN!!! This place is cool!!!…read more My husband took me here to look for Christmas gifts for our 3 boys. When we pulled in the lot all I could think of is WHY are we at a hardware store??? But this is no ordinary hardware store. This is also the Michigan hobby shop and hardware store Mecca!! We found the coolest remote control micro drones, remote control cars, planes, trucks, helicopters, trains, and everything else you can imagine. There was a complete aisle of Boy Scout supplies and another for the Girl Scouts. We bought several things for homeschool in those aisles. The train aisle not only has trains and tracks but everything you need for building layouts, gardens and miniatures. They had slot cars GaLORE!! If your are an enthusiast or a collected you really need to check out all the cool slot cars. I was drooling over quite a few. Be sure to look up when you get to the hobby area. The planes are super cool!! Arts and craft items, painting and drawing items, models, puzzles, ships, planes, cars, and trains. It's a young mans heaven here!!!

Recently, though, there has been a huge influx of very weird AI generated images that are being sold as artwork. As a painter, this is really disappointing that a place that encourages creativity has stopped working with artist to sell their artwork in mass production. I really don't know who wants an AI portrait of a cow laying on a couch like she's being painted like one of Jack's French girls. I am thankful that Hobby Lobby hasn't gone the cold route of self-checkout. Thank you for employing people there! Please employ artists again!

I dreaded coming here because the last time I was with a friend at a card show (it was at a mall),…read moreit was 2 of the most boring hours of my life and all he did was browse and bought a few Magic the Gathering cards. But yesterday, I went to Pandemonium w/ my husband and 2 sons. We went over to the Pokémon section, and I was amazed. First of all, I couldn't believe my older son, who's 8, totally held his own and knew what he was talking about asking to look at cards from different types of sets and versions of different values, etc. My youngest son, who's 6, was doing pretty well himself. But the thing that impressed me the most is that, the Pokémon guru, Trevor, did not talk down to my kids and try to scam them out of money. I don't know if it's because my husband and I were standing there, but all I saw were very professional transactions, ending with an official agreement-binding handshake. My husband and I were basically only there to show support towards their strong interest in something specific and would've only jumped in if things went completely sideways, but I got a feeling they would've been treated with the same respect if we weren't there, especially since my kids know what they're talking about. I'm so proud of them and so impressed with Trevor and the store in general that when my kids get older, I would be happy to drop them off for a couple of hours to battle with others while I go get some peace and quiet somewhere else.

The Redford Model Railroad Club is an interesting place to visit.  It is an important hub locally…read morefor the model train hobby.  The designers, architects, engineers and builders that work and play here have created a truly enjoyable layout. Their attention to detail is greatly appreciated.  I am especially happy about their open house days when the public can enter the building and watch as the work is done to build and maintain the railways as well as operate the trains and the switching system. If you have young ones interested in engineering, machines and commerce as well as nature, this is a great place to visit.  It's wonderful for all ages.  Train safety is also a matter that is taken very seriously at this location and that is important because this area has a lot of full sized trains - and learning safety during play and work on the miniaturized scale is meaningful and provides an important public service. It's a great way to spend an afternoon.

This store not only had a good selection of Gundam model kits, but also of other Japanese animation series kits. Also, the owner is a very courteous person and offers discounts on all items. There is a display case that features customers built models, a magazine rack that contains many hobby magazines and a good selection of all types of kits. Some examples are classic ships, battleships, spaceships, monster kits, airplanes and of course cars. They sell Aurora Model Motoring cars and parts and also train sets, cars and lots of train set layout scale buildings and people. It is worth a trip to check out the eclectic stock of items at this little shop. They seem to carry items that other shops do not have. That's what makes trips to different hobby shops fun. You never know what you may find that they do not make anymore, and West Point Hobby just might have some of these things. I missed out on 4 kits that I should have bought, plus a neat Chessie Sytem train set that looked tempting. And suffice it to say, I can't even find them now on Ebay! Stop by when you have the time!
