    Concerning note in open view
    Nicki W.

    I wish I hadn't made the decision to stop at this creepy store. Yelp reports that this place is out of business but they are still open. I'd like to begin by saying that I don't usually leave bad reviews, but I did not feel safe in this store. Read on if you care to: Walking up to the store there is a sign in the window that says "use back entrance." This should have been our first clue. The sun had already set and we walked around the side of the building to find a long, dark alley. There were a few men hanging around and smoking near the door. I didn't realize until we (cautiously) got closer that (maybe) one of them worked there. Once inside, this store reeks like an ashtray, and it looks like a hoarder took over. Inventory is strewn about on the floors in certain areas making it hard to walk, and everything seems dusty. It is apparent that there once was a great layout, but whoever took over has run this place into the ground. The train display was not in running order, and was an eyesore in the midst of the rest of the chaos this place had to offer us. The counters are covered with client's trains that had been dropped off for repairs presumably years ago. Sticky notes can be found around the store in open view from customers who have stopped by to try to pick up their belongings multiple times to find the store closed, or that their items still hadn't been repaired despite waiting months. I've attached a photo of one of these notes that I found (name blurred for privacy). Even if you did decide to buy something here, your goods are probably going to be damaged. Boxes upon boxes are stacked against the walls and crushing each other and the contents inside. There were a few shelves that were better than others, but I wouldn't chance it. The woman working decided to go on her break while we were browsing, and told us she was locking the main entrance and to use the back again if we wanted to leave. We took that as our cue to leave. We walked out and didn't look back once we were in the alley. Thanks for reading if you got this far. Go find your train stuff somewhere else!!!!

    This is my go to spot for affordable track and engines! The people are very helpful and are sweet. They have a bunch of retro items that you can't find any where else! They have items for all scales and I have a bad habit of spending to much here! It is so awesome and it is very easy to navigate to! They have amazing n scale cargo car options and I definetly recommend this place to any beginner train collector!

    Lots of Fun to Visit! I travel randomly around the US every other week, and came across this shop after checking Yelp...I collect HO scale trains so its fun to try and find a train store! Found a few things to add to the collection at home, And John was a great guy to visit with and talk trains..the prices paid were good..and would def stop back again next time in town!

    They are closed Sunday and Monday's for the summer. Waste of an hour drive to stop by.

    In addition, they brought me some refurbished HO scale engines, and allowed me to pick one out take it home at the low cost of $10.

    This is the OG POPMART location that I first started going to and started my love for Pino Jellies…read more Over the years and through the hype, this POPMART is constantly busy and packed. As an art store, there are already small aisles since the store is filled with displays. The customers that come in and out aren't the kindest people. There's pushing, shoving, and nonexistent boundaries. My only hope is for some sort of expansion so there's less exchanges of germs. As an avid collector, I'm still a fan and still adore this location. My only hint to visitors: park in the building next to Din Tai Fung for the easiest and quickest access to the store!

    I would not recommend purchasing any items from the South Coast Plaza storefront. We purchased a…read morefew of the skull panda blind boxes and within the first two days of having the toy pendant, one arm fell off and then within the week, the second arm fell off. We came in within 30 days of purchase and spoke to 2 employees (a counter employee and the manager) about the problem requesting an exchange. I did not have the receipt, as it had been discarded after opening, but the manager had me entertain him by searching for a spot with good cell phone reception (providing proof of purchase within 30 days) and after all the time spent re-explaining the problem and finding a place in the mall with good cell phone reception, and logging into my credit card account, was still told there was nothing they could do about it. That is terrible customer service! Why would you waste a Customer's time and effort if you plan on not resolving the situation? I did not intend to pay over $30 for a poorly sewn product and do not recommend doing business with the South Coast Plaza Popmart store.
