This business is a complete scam and it seems like it's run by some kind of incompetent A-hole teenager. For 10 days we never received any shipping or tracking information and when we became concerned it was a scam my daughter reached out and requested a refund. We received a one-liner: "what part of the above do you not understand?" Can't believe it. We've experienced poor customer service before but this business actually has the worst I've ever seen. Moreover, they refunded us part of our payment for an item that we never received! They kept 15% without us ever receiving the product and without providing us with any information on whether we would even receive the item. This is a scam. Watch out.

Great way to treat customers.

Just an update do not contact this place if your order is late, just call your card company and dispute the charges. Don't give these clowns a chance to rip you off with that BS 15% fee.

I won the game of Quartz!! First time playing and was off to a bad start, but totally won!!!

Love, love, love this spot! My friends and I have been getting into more board games lately but you can only play what you've got so many times. Plus going into Walmart or any other place looking for something new is kind of hit or miss...and it's mostly miss because it's all the same stuff or mostly tailored to kids. Turns out there's a board game shop to help with this conundrum! The place is super laxed right now, but I'm eager to see it in full swing. Apparently they have "classes" on certain nights that you can come in and learn new games or honestly probably just meet some new people and have a good time! I don't know about you, but there has been a time or two when I didn't have enough people to play certain amazing games and I feel like I finally have a work around!! Yaaaassss!! Anyway, Emily, one of the shop owners, pointed out that there's "elementary" games on this side (easy), "middle school/JR high" games on that side (medium thought), and "high school" games (harder, longer, more intricate) towards the back...AND HOW FREAKING CUTE IS THAT!! Ok...ready for the best part? YOU CAN PLAY ANY OF THEM!! Yes!! Seriously!! You can try before you buy and wait for it...you can increase your bad a**ery because you can TOTALLY learn the tougher games right there in the shop! Hello?! Boarding SCHOOL!! You get it?! Anyway, I can't wait to have another game night here or honestly just get in on one of their classes! Not to toot my own horn but I'm actually kind of good at board games... Challenge me! Let's play!!

My order that I ordered Fri night and received Sunday Morning!!!!

My husband and I recently took our very first trip to Las Vegas, and one of the most memorable…read moreparts of our visit was discovering Downtown Hobby 9. My husband is a big Gundam fan, and while exploring the area, he found this amazing little shop just off the Strip. As soon as we walked in, I could tell he was in heaven--it was like watching a kid in a candy store! The shop had a fantastic variety of Gundam kits, including models from Japan and another section from China. The collection was so well-organized and fun to explore. While we were shopping, my husband noticed that some of the same kits he had purchased online before were priced about $15-$20 less elsewhere. But even knowing that, he didn't hesitate--he wanted to support this small, local business. That meant a lot to both of us, especially after learning the shop is backed by its own tight-knit community. "Locals supporting locals" is something we value. The staff were also genuinely kind and welcoming. I wish I remembered their names--they made the experience even more enjoyable. We ended up buying quite a few kits and were concerned about how we'd get them all back to San Francisco. Fortunately, they offered shipping, and everything arrived quickly and was packed with such great care. We also noticed they were selling some awesome shirts and learned that the artwork was created by one of their community members. The designs were so cool and creative that we decided to purchase a few. We actually came back for a second visit during our second trip to Vegas--and, of course, picked up even more Gundam kits and shirts. With recent tariffs being added to imports, we wouldn't be surprised if prices go up by the time we're back in August. So honestly, what we paid might end up being a deal! If you're a Gundam fan or just love supporting genuine, community-driven small businesses, Downtown Hobby 9 is absolutely worth a visit. We're already looking forward to stopping by again on our next trip--stay tuned!

Used to enjoy coming here for the beyblade tournaments, but they suddenly raised the entry price…read moreand was not entitled to their 'buy a beyblade and get an entry pass'. Beys are pricey on top of that as well.

"Make your wonderful dream a reality, and it will become your truth!"…read more Pokémon what's not to love ! From the land of the rising sun we can all agree on this the Pokémon is in our hearts and minds. Weaved into our culture. The yellow Pikachu, the yellow electric rat so many ways to love him. This store is all things that are Pokémon. All the characters. In all their glory. This store is busy, so please be patient . You might have to wait to go inside. The staff is very calm and friendly. They are always helpful. They are knowledgeable about what they are dealing in. If you are looking to trade they will give you a great price. If you are looking for something from the past it's worth a look to see what that collection needs. All in all it's a great place to come and see pop culture fun.

Probably the worst shop in Vegas. The only good thing is they have a lot of inventory. The bad…read morething is they have a lot of inventory because they want people to pay 130-150% of market . My husband went in to buy Uta manga psa10 . Last sales were all around 720$ and a couple at 800$ . 800 was highest sale . My husband offered highest last sold at 800$ and they said no we are firm at 850+tax . Not willing to even sell at market or slightly higher . They want 50$ plus tax over market on a one piece card which is down right now on a card with low hype . It's not like Uta is going to skyrocket in the near future . This has consistently been our experience the last 5 or 6 times we have been here . Staff is also rude when you negotiate for market I would suggest going to the other shops in town who are more down to earth. I've never had a shop turn down highest last sale in a card . Even more so when last few sales where at 720 UPDATE : responding to the owners comments . We were looking at market live no one is sensitive to market changes . Instead of her being firm and hard on the sale she should know to go back and ask if they can sell it at 800. I know you would have taken 800 because that's slightly above market but your rep wasn't even willing to ask and that's the problem . We looked at comps together and both agreed the comps justify 800$ but she still chose to say no we are firm at 850 instead of asking someone higher up . This isn't the first time either . This would be about the 5-6 time we had a similar experience buying and selling . My husband did a review months back dealing with an issue similar when selling and considering multiple people hearted the comment , it shows he is not the only one experiencing this . Your staff should know to go ask if the comps make sense instead of putting up a brick wall and out of ego saying "no we are firm at 130% of market 2nd UPDATE!!! I attached photos of my conversation with owner on instagram via DM . Now I understand why the staff is the way they are . Rude , unprofessional, and even started to threaten a court of law nothing is edited out for full transparency of the experience you can expect from this owner and his staff .

Generation after generation Lego has been a huge fixture in all our lives…read more Do you know? Lego was founded in 1932. The founders name was Ole Kristiansen. He was a wood carpenter that made toys in Sweden . The original form of the plastic blocks with the LEGO branding on all pieces was put together and launched in the fifties. What's not to love, except maybe LEGO that can be relived over and over again . We all know that we can use our imaginations and let it soar when using our LEGOs . We can retain this information and improve our understanding of the universe around us. Now we can also explore that playing with legos are "good" for your mental wellbeing . So, playing with toys is not just novel but helps many quadrants of the brain. Some of the functions it can perform and make better are simple memory recalls can allow an individual to recall the past events easier. Your understanding of perspective and others viewpoints becomes clearer. Your creativity itch gains momentum. These are a just a few small examples how using your imagination can be stimulated through playing .

Anyone care for a game of Scrabble, Monopoly, Battle Ship, Risk, Sorry, or Cards Against Humanity?…read more This is the place to come for all day game play. This place offers over 2,000 board games one can play. So you ask what is a Meeple?? It is a small, typically wooden star like shape that depicts abstracted human form. They are usually painted a bright color and they are used as a player token. Meepleville is a great addition to our city with their gaming cafe. You walk in a pay a small fee of $10.00 and then you can play any board game you would like. Or you can bring your own game and use any of their tables or booths to play. You are welcome to come and go as you please until they close. Seating can accommodate over 100 people. I met two friends here to have my first MahJong lesson and we had a great time. We played a solid two hours and I gained a basic understanding of the game. They also have a small snack bar serving up some bar style food, drinks and they also serve alcohol. There is also a retail space where you can actually purchase games to take home as well. Looking forward to coming back and bringing friends to experience the fun of this place.

Their game selection is expansive and you won't have a problem finding a game you enjoy. The staff were friendly and helpful. The value of $10 is a great deal for the day.

The tots and chicken strips were just mushy.
