this place has to be the most fun ambience of any toy place or hobby shop ever. I couldn't imagine…read morewhat they could do with all of the items they have up if they ever wanted to relocate or close down. They have such huge awesome display pieces. I mean, you can't even get through the door without being in amazement. Lots of fun puzzles lots of fun card games, tons of little knickknacks and very family friendly . kids love window shopping, just cruising around at all of the different options and I couldn't imagine anyone not finding something that they enjoy here . Staff is always super helpful places always spotless. Definitely stop by.

This is my go-to toy store now. We got all of my grandson's birthday gifts there earlier this…read moresummer. A great selection and the prices are very reasonable. I just went there again this morning looking for Sea Monkey (Krill) aquariums for the kids and they had three different types! I couldn't find them anywhere else in town except BiMart, which only had 1 type. The price was essentially the same as BiMart, with a much better selection. Given the choice to spend my money at a small locally owned business, I'll choose the small business every time.

We stopped in here on a whim on a random Sunday and it's now on the list of spots to check out when…read morewe're in town! It's a cute spot a block off the main street, with character and charm to spare! They've got a pretty epic selection of board games, cards games, puzzles, kits and some TCGs including Pokémon and D&D. The frisbee section was also quite impressive. The place isn't massive but isn't small either. We spent like 30 minute perusing and liked what we found. The folks running the shop were very helpful and very nice. They all seemed to have played a lot of board games! Prices were where we expected them - not a discount shop, but nothing crazy. Very much what we expected to pay and based on the Pokémon ETB and two board games were walked out with, I'd say we're fans!

The folks here are very considerate and helpful, and open to helping me bring some of my crazy ideas to life. I'm so happy specialty stores like this still exist, and I hope as a community we can continue supporting them. There is no replacement for the years of expertise these shopkeepers bring to the retail experience. There is a large parking lot in front of the store, which is convenient because the neighborhood tends to be pretty busy. And the parking enforcement can be quite unforgiving in the area.

You can't possibly see everything your first time there, unless Trent lets you stay overnight. It's…read morepacked densely, like a great cheesecake, and you savor a new gaming taste with each bite. We spent way more than we intended our first time there. We just give ourselves a bigger budget now. We're even dragging our adult son with us on our next visit tomorrow, so it's a good thing games and gaming don't have an age limit.

The staff has always taken the time to greet me as I walk in, take a look at my RC car and help me figure out what's wrong and tell me exactly what I need to do or in some cases even show me what to do. I've had such a positive experience every time I've been here! They recently (June 2024) added some fun tracks in the back for customers to use! You can also rent the cars to use back there if you don't have your own. A suspended obstacle course, a drift track and a couple other tracks. If you are into rc cars, or have someone in the family who is, this is definitely a place for you to try out!

I don't know what has happened to this place. Not to long ago, there was a wall full of so many…read moreplastic model cars boats planes to choose from. Now there is a shelf about half full of the same modes. Nothing to choose from that's good quality models. And the paint section has been bare since at least January of this year. It's like none of the paints or cements or primers have been replaced with new stock. I drove a half hour just to get some paints for my model car I bought, and it is very disappointing. Bare shelves, nothing getting restocked. I'm done going there. I have spent a lot of money at that store in the past, now it's just a ghost of its former self. Better off going to hobby lobby or just Amazon.

Didn't believe the reviews until I drove out here and left within 60 seconds. Super lame shop and…read moresuper lame employees walked in ready to spent big bucks and nobody gave a single fuck.

They have product but the experience of buying there doesn't leave you at all warm and fuzzy. Not sure if they don't want to be at work or they think they are better than the average newbie.

Definitely more land-oriented and is mainstream brand oriented (Traxxas, Axial, Spektrum, Horizon, Lectron, E-Flite, etc...), but is a good place to get parts when you need for those brands. Good for general hobby gear. Connectors, tools, couple/few TX and RX options for land and air. Don't expect to find most brands you'll find at online retailers that pedal in the cheaper/more generic Chinese goods. TGY, HK, Orange and whatnot. Owner can come off a little rude when you first meet him, but he means well and will get you taken care of and is a wealth of information. We're all just people and I'm sure there are some he rubs the wrong way at first meet (me, included, but no lie he's a great guy I've found over time!) and some that he clicks with.
