The owner and his wife were very nice and friendly as was some of the older staff, but some of his younger workers needed some serious remedial training in how to deal with customers. Last time I was in there this black kid with short dreadlocks, just kept staring at me from behind the counter and not once did he say "can I help you?" A short time later, I saw him jacking his jaws with another employee and by this time I had enough. I walked out the door, went to my vehicle in the parking lot and ordered right then and there what I needed from Amazon.com. Two days later I got it and Amazon and Ebay is where I pretty much buy all my hobby supplies now.

Went for the first time today! Was really glad to find a local hobby shop still in business. There…read morewas a mask rule in place, and it was adhered to, which was really nice and a little unexpected considering how small of a business it is. The place is awesome, has tons of any kind of model you might want; they have planes, helicopters, tanks/armor, ships and submarines, cars, and sci-fi fantasy type things. There's also a wide variety of different paints, including Humbrol, Vallejo, and Model Master, lots of tools, and diorama supplies. The model kits range from vintage to present-day, and the sheer variety is really incredible. All different kinds of scales, from 1:144 to 1:24. John was a very nice guy and very helpful, he greeted us upon entering the store and asked if there was anything we needed, also made sure to make us aware of where everything was, and the sales on paints. He took a few minutes after we paid to tell us about the different groups that meet at the store, and wrote down some information for us on a business card. We will definitely be returning frequently.

Purchased a $300 rc plane on 2/8/15 as a valentines gift upon sale, I told the owner that the…read morerecipient wanted gas, he talked me into electric and said it would be fine if I returned and exchanged it or got a refund. I returned on 2/20/15 and he told me he wasn't going to allow me to exchange or refund the product Cause it's a known fact that no hobby store has a return policy. I asked him where is it posted in his store and he said it's not. I asked for a written receipt of what was purchased and he said my credit card receipt is my receipt. The credit card receipt doesn't help me if I want to resell whatever it is that he sold me. During this conversation he acknowledged the contents of the package were undisturbed and appeared unopened. He accused me of being a liar and he called me crazy when I became angry that he told my boyfriend that It was known about his return policy. He is very disrespectful, arrogant and dishonest. I WOULD SPEND THE EXTRA $5 AND GO TO ANOTHER HOBBY SHOP IN MOBILE OR GULFPORT. show less

Panda's is a great location for Tabletop and Card gamers! I've been on a few occasions for…read moredifferent reasons. My first visit was for some Dungeon's and Dragons materials (dice, figurines, etc) and I found their options great. With plenty to browse and decide from. A hard-to-find thing in person/offline. Since then, I've picked up several Magic the Gathering card packs. They have a very good selection, with multiple options to browse/purchase from to include full box sets. I saw other card games options, but I apologize I do not know what they were as I wasn't shopping for those specifically. The employees were great, in quick help finding what I was looking for and even giving ideas based on what I wanted. They also had several solo cards for purchase if you're trying to find something specific or build something... as long as you're okay browsing for it. BONUS: they give a military discount too! Would definitely recommend this location for your tabletop/card gaming needs.

Well, we came back...and we probably shouldn't have. This time we came looking for low-dollar…read morePokemon cards. I called beforehand to ask if they carried them and after two unanswered calls, someone finally picked up and confirmed that they do. When we got there, it was a super weird energy. Men at tables around the store staring at us like we had three heads (possibly because my sister and I were the only two women in the entire store?) and following our every move. Everyone working there was dismissive and rude. It took asking two different people to show us to the Pokemon cards, which are stacked haphazardly in white boxes in what appears to be a disused hallway. When we inquired about how they were priced, we got a curt, "It depends." No further extrapolation and the guy walked away after so we couldn't even follow up. My sister went back up to the counter to ask and the guy said he was going to "look up their individual prices on the app." Some sort of collecting app, I guess? I don't know about you, but I'm not going to stand at a counter for an hour while some guy google image searches every Pokemon card in my stack of 100+ cards. After looking through half of one box, we gave up. The unwelcoming energy, unmarked prices, and open-mouth staring patrons are enough to put me off ever coming back to Panda's Pair O Dice.
