Went to this place to sell Pokémon cards. Had very rare cards in good shape. They offered me 25$…read morefor all my cards when 1 of them was worth more than that. They claim they know about prices and sets and they really don't. The manager or owner whoever he is also likes to get involved when he wasn't part of the selling. Trying to tell me what I sold them and how much its worth when he doesn't know what was brought in. As far as I'm concerned your staff is dumb as a box of rocks and so are you. You probably still owe me about 300$. Hopefully you go out of business because that'll teach you to take advantage of people.

I wish i could remember the others names because its like everyone there has zero problems going above and beyond! This place is like a sun burned pecker.... You cant beat it!!!

So another relocation, but not just down the street this time. In 2023, The wrecking ball was…read morecoming for the Galleria mall and Westchester Trains & Hobbies became refugees again to find a new home. Unfortunately for me, the new place is 25 miles further north at the Jefferson Valley Mall. This is as far as you can go in Westchester county because Putnam county is just across the street. Like most malls across the country, JVM is not doing great, with not a lot of tenants or customers and it just seems to be barely hanging on. At least their anchor store, Macy's hasn't bailed yet. I'm hardly ever up this way, but when I am, I'll stop in at WTH to see any new stuff (and to see the old stuff). The new store has almost as big a footprint as the Galleria store, but way bigger than the previous White Plains mall one, which got the wrecking ball also (I'm not sure if that's a good omen). Everything was moved here, every plane, train & automobile (literally) and even Barbie (but no Oppenheimer). John told me he has big plans for the new store and to check back for new inventory soon. Each aisle has a hobby specialty. The biggest proportion is in the back where all the model trains reside. Glass cabinets are filled with vintage Lionel trains and other well known brands. The Hot Wheels collection made it over, as well as the Barbie and Hess truck collections. But my main hobby focus are model airplanes and ships and their collection of old kits is pretty impressive. They get new old kits all the time by buying up old collections and reselling. This trip, I got (3) 70's-80's nostalgic plastic airplane kits that I've had or wanted since I was a kid. I could wander the aisles here all day and they would have to kick me out. Maybe I'll go back after I grab some lunch at the food court...

I build and paint 40K, and although HQ Hobbies doesn't carry 40k minis I go there for all of my supplies. Huge selection of paints, brushes, varnishes, setting solutions, etc. Literally anything you could need regardless of what you're building or painting. The owner is himself a model builder and is knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to chat with. Overall this place is easy to recommend. When you're driving by, go slow because it's easy to miss the store. It's on one side of a strip mall and given the nearby tree coverage it's easy to miss.

We were on the hunt for small glass jars for my daughter's beach-sand collection. Front of mind were those small glass jars that Klipp and seal. I can't remember the name of them. She had gotten them in the past for $1.50 to 2 dollars each. I'm guessing the tariffs have hit Michael's because they were up to nearly 4 dollars each. I can't blame Michael's. My discussed is aimed elsewhere. I would like retailers both online and brick and mortar to make a note of how much we are paying for tariffs. I think this would help prevent backlash against local shops. But I digress She found what she was looking for, and we started the self checkout process. Unsurprising, there were glitches at self check out. More proof that we need people The associate was so pleasant and informative and made the check out frustration plus not a minus.

I've looked in several places and couldn't find it. I asked a young guy what I was looking for and gave him trade names as options. Instead of a blank stare he walked me over to the aisle. There it was. I should have gotten his name. It's for orthotics. It's an arts and crafts store and much more. Their picture framing department staff can recommend matting and frames that will compliment your photo or whatever you need mounted. I read some reviews. True, it's a large store and some items aren't marked with a price. But, they do have a large inventory and not everything is based on an industrial usage. There are what used to be called rainy day projects for children. Maybe they'll learn motor skills and knowledge that could be considered transfer of training later in life. Icing a cake and applying plaster use similar tools and skills.
