I was in search for a specific primer…read morefor a sculpture I am working on and he was able to also give me a recommendation for something that might do a better job, as well as some suggestions for other materials to consider for future pieces. This year I am trying to really commit to shopping locally for things and I'm glad to find a place that has much of what I need for decent prices. I also always enjoy meeting folks who have knowledge, expertise and good salesmanship. Looking forward to returning for my next project's needs!

I called ahead of time to find out about model ships and the owner was helpful and answered all of…read moremy questions. As a first time shopper for my aunt who enjoys this type of hobby, they had a variety of items such as military planes, tanks, battle ships, and subs too. I enjoyed the display of all of the models to look at as they had many types of cars, trucks and more. It felt personal as this is a privately own established business that I enjoy supporting and contributing too.

Service and knowledge is top notch. Best selection in the valley. Definitely worth a visit!read more

Used the last bit of my available funds to try and get myself a model from a place called Andy's…read moreHobby Headquarters in Glendale, AZ, from their online store. I was excited, it was a kit I had been hunting for quite some time, and I thought I would finally have one in my collection. I paid for shipping, and it was sent USPS Ground Advantage, with insurance. USPS decided to deliver it to the wrong address, and to absolutely no one's surprise, it vanished. USPS informed me that the shipper has to initiate a claim, it is not something I can do, and they gave me a letter admitting the mistake and that the package is now lost. I relayed this to Andy'sHHQ, and they didn't respond. In fact, due to their sluggish response to the situation, they are now sold out of that model, so even if refunded, I can't get it any more. I reached out to Andy'sHHQ again today, only to be met with an excuse about how they aren't responsible, they shipped it, so if it is lost I have to deal with the USPS. But the USPS already told me I had to deal with the shipper. This "hobby shop" clearly isn't trustworthy in any way, and that angers me because I have sent a few people their way after I had ordered a couple of times and had no issue, so I thought they could be trusted. Now I look bad if any of those people don't get what they ordered and paid for. It is truly a sad world we live in where any retail company feels like it is perfectly acceptable to ignore the actual customer just as long as they say they have no responsibility once anything ordered online leaves their store.

Lovely, easy breasy experience card hunting here. The folks are always nice, never pushy, and…read morethere's a great selection of new sets, vintage EN/JP singles and graded Pokemon cards.

I've spent thousands at this store over the last year and generally accepted that some prices run a…read morebit high because stores need to make money. Recently I found a Charizard card marked at $11 that appeared significantly undervalued compared to market price, even considering the minor print lines. When I went to purchase it, the employee took the card to the back for several minutes and then returned saying the owner had already sold it online. They weren't able to show the sold listing or provide any verification. Maybe it truly had sold elsewhere already, but the situation felt poorly handled and honestly damaged my trust as a longtime customer. Inventory mistakes happen, but transparency matters.

Weak. I came in looking for some sanding tools and the guy behind the counter could not have been…read moremore disinterested. He even discouraged me, saying "well we only have sanding sheets", which was the answer to my question, "where are your sanding supplies?"... to which I then had to ask again, where are they? At about that time another guy appeared from 'round the corner and helped me. They had much more than the first, uninterested employee let on. Once I went to check out I went back to the uninterested employee, who had been behind the register. He rung me up then unceremoniously stepped back from the counter and went, "Okay, there you go.", leaving me to awkwardly reach forward and grab my jumble of items I'd just paid for. The prices were fairly high, and given the fact that I felt uncomfortable asking a simple question and then made to feel even more awkward actually purchasing something...yeah, I just don't think I'll be back.

Unfortunately I'm met with poor customer service each time I visit. On my most recent trip I picked…read moreup some jewelry beads which were heavily marked as on sale with placards posted all across the products. At checkout, the older woman working as the cashier mumbled under her breath as she was ringing me up which I assumed was her talking to herself/noting what the costs were to ring up. She told me the total and I swiped my card not thinking too much of it. When I got back to my car I realized the math didn't quite add up. I checked the receipt and realized the jewelry beads were not discounted so I went back inside to request a price verification. I was rudely told that she had told me those weren't on sale - which maybe she did whilst she was mumbling but I hadn't acknowledged it as I didn't actually hear it. I let her know if they weren't on sale then I'd like to return those items. Thankfully a manager stepped in and let her know the beads were indeed on sale and showed her where it said so on the weekly flyer. The cashier apologized to the manager - not me.
