Came here on a rainy Sunday to see what it was all about. You can submit to PSA through them!…read more My main niche interest is in pokemon but they do have sports cards and other tcg cards. As I browsed inside someone was willing to answer a bunch of my beginner questions on grading, how I might go about the process and such and also gave me room to browse around when I thanked them for the info and said I wanted to just look around. The shop is pretty popular, there were about at least 7 people in there with me at all times. I bought a graded 1st gen pokemon card and did so without really price checking because I needed a slab of some sort for my own purposes. When I went home later and checked the prices on it, it was market price which was a pleasant feeling to know I didn't get ripped. Definitely would come back here to make purchases regarding tcg and to do any PSA submissions.

Decent card shop with pokemon cards, sport cards, and etc. If youre looking for sealed pokemon…read moreproducts, they'll have a decent amount of those. However, definitely above market price. The don't have many single cards displayed. Some of them are nice, but not that many interesting ones. The service can be slow when there's multiple customers. The place did smell like sweat, which I definitely did not enjoy.

I needed acrylic pieces for my vehicle windows for venting a portable air conditioner so I took my…read morecardboard assisted designs into the store and they were wonderful about taking on my project having the exact pieces, (thickness and tint) that I was looking for. I couldn't be happier with the results and can easily recommend them to anybody looking for assistance with such needs. My thanks to the whole team!

It's my first time, so I brought my entire screen and AC insert to the store. They were able to…read moretake the measurements there. Summer is their busy season, so I definitely recommend doing it sooner before the weather gets too hot. The whole plastic for the window was about $99 (before tax) and the additional AC cut-out was about $50 (before tax). Once they took my order, the wait time was about one and half weeks for me. I also bought tape from there so I can secure it to the window. The staff are very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend it!

I bought a starter set and then added two remote switches. The store failed to mention that I would…read moreneed a larger transformer. I spent unnecessary hours trying to figure out a short. The switches turned out to not be remote, and when I asked to get a store credit, I was told the box had a small tear and that they would not do it. Not a customer friendly environment. Not impressed.

Somewhat ambiguous experience. We are not pro hobbyists so not sure how it compares. The selection…read morewas inconsistent which just means they have a certain focus - on Japanese models and on recreating landscapes and tracks and trails and what not for cars or trains. Very cool selection for those 2 things. And it happens we WERE there for Japanese models so we were perfectly happy. Large selection of model-making supplies. Definitely would go here before we order supplies online in the future. Yes, the greeting was half-hearted - but both people there did greet us and what do you expect - they were busy talking about hobby stuff :) It's a bit dated in terms of the space, seems a bit tired, but I think "in this economy" they are presenting themselves reasonably. They had some great sales. Half off prices of some model kits right now.

This is easily the best model shop i've been to. It has a large selection of just about anything…read moreyou would need for modeling and is very well stocked. The prices here aren't bad at all either. The employees are very friendly too. In fact, the only reason why i rated 4 stars vs. 5 is because of the time in which you can shop here, being open for only 4hrs a day and closed Sunday-Monday. Other than that though, I absolutely loved this shop. I will most definitely come back in the near and far future for models and related products alike!

I went two Wednesdays ago on April 29th, was hoping to play Pkmn TCG but I was visiting and wanted…read moreto do other things around the city. I was informed the tourney would likely go until 9pm. They host both the card game and the switch/video game challenges. I did have a card to trade and the breakdown of the process was the most thorough I've seen yet and I wanted store credit as you get 80% vs 70% if you got cash only. Anywho, the wait to be called did take longer than I'd like but given it was busy and my decision on what to use for store credit took awhile, I wouldn't deduct anything. Avery (sp?) was the main person who helped me and she was very patient. I also bought some playable cards (they have a stash of organized cards in bins near their staff-only area which other employees helped me out with. All-in-all, very spacious and well organized! They have one exclusively for double rares/ex cards, ultra rares/full arts, ace specs, etc. They even have a box for people to drop off ETB boxes in for people to claim for free if they want to take home. I also noticed some instant ramen station which they utilized for food in the store. They have some nice wall art too that was handprints as well. Would revisit if I'm ever back in Seattle, WA!

UPDATE: I went back a few days later and my experience was much better. They actually added a…read moredecent amount of new cards and the varieties were much better. The staff was also friendlier and helpful. If you're looking for Pokémon cards, this is definitely not the best place to look for them. They had a bunch of single cards displayed and it looks pretty randomized. Not a good variety and honestly looks disorganized. They at least have a decent amount of sealed products, but everything was above market price. The staff wasn't friendly, nor were they interactive. The place wasn't that organized. There's a decent amount of table with you want to play card games with your friends.

I recently got into the Gundam hobby and thought it was time to check this store out. The interior is small but packed with stock, and a few very impressive display cases containing some great scale models. There were several other customers in the store and the owner/operator had a good report with all of them. He took time to talk with me and answer my questions and was very friendly and knowledgeable. I really appreciated his tips and advice. Hike the store is small it has a very good selection of model lines and models. It even had a few premium boxes which I was excited to see. Beyond the models there was also a very good selection of hobby tools paints and supplies. I will absolutely be coming back here and can't recommend it highly enough.

Just had a bizarre experience here after being a customer here for years. I started at the Tacoma…read morelocation looking for stretcher bars by the master series in 24, 36, 30, and 40s. Tacoma was out but the sweet sales associates offered to order or call Seattle. I overheard them on the phone confirming various sizes. So I thanked them & drove up to Seattle. I noticed the Seattle location didn't have the sizes I was told, I asked the guy in charge of frames/ stretchers and he claimed I asked for one size then showed me a different brand from what was confirmed over the phone, a heavy duty variety. When I expressed frustration of being told the wrong thing, he walked off pouting, didn't offer to order any for me like Tacoma did. Not wanting to leave empty handed I grabbed a couple off sizes so I can work. On my way to check out, I informed my friend of what just occured and placed the stretchers at the register. The clerk said "You need to check out over there, Sir." My flabbers were gasted! My monocle popped out! I said "Sir? I'm not a sir!". This was strange and shocking to me. So I went to the proper clerk saying "They just called me Sir. What part of me gives man? I've never been called a man." So yeah I'm mad confused as to why my petite, adorable self in pink & lilac got called a man by someone who would not appreciate being misgendered themselves.... On Pride weekend of all times. And why wasn't I offered to have the supplies ordered for me like in Tacoma? Basically I received a wild goose chase, a bad attitude, lied to about what I overheard confirmed on the phone, and casually misgendered by Seattle staff. Very sad since I prefer supporting local. The Tacoma shop is a vibe with kind, helpful staff. I'll stick with them and Jerry's Art a Rama online. Apparently several reviews report bad behavior from staff over the past year or so. Don't need the funky ahh attitude when I just wanna create.
