Update: Sam who runs the shop reached out and we had a very great conversation about my experience…read moreand the hobby overall. He himself was not tracking on what other shops were doing on trade in value and we pretty much swapped our options. Brick and mortar shops are having a tough time battling against breakers and distributors in general and need to eat themselves. The hobby is just in weird point at this time. Thank you Sam. Just moved to the area from the west and had to find a new card shop. Cardiac happened to be the closest to my new house. Checked it out and bought a card at an okay price for my personal collection. They don't really budge on price much no matter what the last sales have been. Most they'll take off is $5 on a $200+ card even if the last sold for $50+ less. I made an appointment for a bulk trade in for a card I really wanted from their shop. After an hour of sorting through my cards, they finally had a price. They valued my cards at $360+. I was excited because that was just enough for the card I was looking at. They then offered 60% of the value for store credit, saying cash would be even less. I was expecting a minimum 70% due to it being a shop but I already waited more than an hour and drove all the way there so just took the offer and got a cheaper card I was interested in. They claim to not care about profit and care about the hobby and real collectors but offering 60% is insane. They were selling "Hobby" blasters of the NFL Select. I bought one and pulled a zebra, noticing that it was a purple shock zebra and not a true zebra. Anyone in the hobby knows that hobby have true zebras and retail have the shock. So they are selling retail blasters and claiming them as hobby blasters.

The Pokemon Journey Together was today and most stores were selling for MSRP. Usually they do the…read moresame here but without the wrap in release days which is acceptable. This time even without wrap all items were like 40% higher in price. I loved this store but they really screw up here. They usually sold out before this time they couldnt even do it. Lot of people left the line including me. Hope they learn the lesson cause if they keep doing this they will lose customers. Im better off going to target and gamestop than here.

I always wanted to stop by and I'm glad I did. It's a cool place if you are into card games like…read morePokemon and board games like D&D. They host tournaments and game night.

The clerk is very knowledgeable about everything in there.

Definitely worth checking if you are into gaming but not video games since this is not that kind of venue.

I have more 5 star reviews than any other rating and I blame Yelp for that...I use it to find the…read morebest places so I'm more likely to go to 5 star places. All that considered, this place is a solid 5 stars if not 6 because of its uniqueness. I've walked in here many times over the years but it was nothing more than passing boredom and exploring the town. The last time I visited I decided to really get into it. We rented a Mini-Z race car for 30 minutes for $10. The owner lady really gave us about 40-45 minutes which my 11 year old son really enjoyed. But before we even had a chance to race our car, one of the regulars gave him one of his cars to "break in the tires" just as you would real race car tires. He loved it! And then another regular let him drive one of his 4x4 trucks up the crawler table! They have a huge racetrack that takes up most of the space. This is specifically for min-z RWD cars and other RWD cars. They have a bunch of spots on the floor marked where you should stand to race your car. Each car has a transponder and they have a computer system that can time each cars laps and determine the winner, supposedly this is even webcasted on Friday nights when they have all the pro's come in and race for real. But on a Saturday it's just regular people and kids coming to play. I believe the limit is six cars at a time and I have no idea how they handle a waitlist. The crawler track sits on the end of the racetrack and it's for 4x4's. It's on a pulley system so they can lift it up and extend the racetrack on Friday nights. However, outside directly in the back they have yet another 4x4 crawler area. Both tracks present their own unique challenges. All in all this is an amazing activity to do with family or friends that doesn't involve drinking. Fuquay-Varina has around 50 breweries now and 100 bars, some pretending to be restaurants, as of 2025, so finding non-alcoholic activities is great for when you need a break from all the beer. I didn't know they sell Lego and it's pretty much the same price as what you'd see on Amazon or at Kohls, so why not shop local? They obviously sell a ton of RC items such as cars, 4x4s, boats, planes. They sell all the accessories for them down to different sets of rims. They have model car building kits and supplies. Tons of hobby related items. If Christmas hadn't just passed I would probably have walked out with a 4x4 or RWD race car...so you know for sure I'll be back. If you buy your cars here you can use the tracks forever for free which is a huge perk!

After being out of the Hobby Scene for 20 years, I stopped in here on a whim and met Otto and Anna…read more The embody the reason that I loved the RC Hobby community. Everything here is about the kids and the pure enjoyment of things. Ottos happiest helping you discover, make, build or invent whatever it is that you want to- and he's brutally honest about the product. He's going to tell you what his experience is, what's worked and what doesn't work. He points you to the right kits and the best bang for your buck- be that a scale 4wd crawler or a simple foam glider. He stocks the parts you'll need for kits he sells, and won't shy from sending you to a big box for something he can't stock at a reasonable price. Anna and Otto make this store feel like a home to all his guests. I think that's what their secret to success is. Come by, look around. They welcome all, and tirelessly answer questions. Great people. Great shop. Great prices. Great products.
