I once read a LA Times article from the lifestyle section that says Californian men love to drive pickup trucks because they like to pretend they are working class :P Well pretend play is also very important for children and it helps develop many skills. My two boys LOVE pickup trucks, flatbed trucks, construction vehicles, etc, etc... Bruder replicates commercial, farm, emergency, construction vehicles and they are so detailed they are like the real thing. Every night before bed my four year old looks at Bruder trucks on his iPad and tells me all the ones on his wish list. They are sold at specialty stores with the exception of older models at Marshalls/TJMaxx and on Amazon, Diapers.com, eBay, etc... I just recently discovered that they had a US headquarter in the SouthBay. The Bruder showroom has just about everything that they make and I love buying the toy show samples for a fraction. I don't need the box but I do buy new ones also for 10% off :P

Quality toys that last a long time and colors don't fade off. We already have 4 trucks that we got at Marshall's and the colors didn't fade even if being outdoors for more than 4 years. We came here today because we saw an ad in a magazine and we came all the way here to check it out. Kids pick up a truck that they would like to play and give it to the girl in the office. She then gives him/her the selection and the kids can play in the testing area where there is a pit ballet . Our sons loved it that they could try as many trucks as possible and even played with other kids. There were two other kids there on a Friday afternoon. We ended up buying an Ambulance! Toys are on the pricier end but we know that they do last a long time. I even saw one of the mom bring some trucks that needed repair and the girl in the office took it for repair!

1st timer today and it was quite.... Another Mother & her son was there she told me it's always a lot of kids in here on the weekends. She was so nice. She also inform me about the other trucks that was in the show room. My son & I enjoyed our afternoon playing with all the trucks.

Fun with the mixer!

This is a well known Lego franchise that's of reputable known quality, having several independently…read moreowned stores. This location is in Lawndale serving the South Bay Beach Cities of Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach and Torrance. The owner and staff I say are very welcoming as you enter and gracious as you shop and appreciative as you leave. They have a very family friendly attitude and show kindness towards kids / children. The pricing is convenient and good, especially for non-investor reseller collector types who just enjoy lego. They have a lot of pre-built Legos that might be missing the mini-figures but sell for a fraction of the FMV (Fair Market Value) making them intriguing deals for the base sets that are often retired and hard to find. The selection is good, and because it deals in collectibles and often retired and used Legos, you should visit this location often. I found the pricing on used merchandise to be comparable to other Bricks & Minifigs stores if not maybe even cheaper here. Parking is easy and this is accessible via the 405 north/south freeway off-ramps with minimal inland street driving. Support your local merchants.

The bulk bins and tables are where it's at, especially for vehicle parts and Technic specialty…read morepieces.let other locations will have the little 1x2 or 2x2s, but this shop will have your 1x 16 bricks or 2x16 plates. Along with all the Technic connectors and joints. These and the special pieces (like animals, castle parts, nets, capes, printed pieces) are where this location excels above and beyond all others, including the valley, OC, SD, and even IE locations. Only Costa Mesa and Laguna Niguel rivals their bulk selection and certainly does not match the specialty parts collection. On the other hand, there has only been a couple of new in box sets that have appealed to me here. Haven't gotten a used set yet, as the selection for those have been more impressive elsewhere. I have however purchased a few minifigs from here which, while pricey, are a nice find when on sale.

I ordered a pack of solid colored gift bags from the website. I received notification the next…read moremorning that my order was ready. Pickup was quick and easy. My item was on a shelf with other orders. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to help myself and asked one of the employees who took it off the shelf for me. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. The bags are nice and sturdy and will be useful throughout the year for gift giving.

My mother and I've been loyal Michaels customers for years as full-time artists and hobbyists,…read moreunfortunately the customer experience at this store, specifically at the Vista Store in Torrance, has declined significantly. I hope my feedback warns other customers and helps management understand what's happening at the store level. A few days ago, I went in to quickly pick up an online order after receiving both email and text confirmation that it was ready. My name wasn't on any of the pickup bags, so I asked for assistance. A manager briefly looked around, said he would check by the registers, and then proceeded to count cash in the register instead of helping me. After I approached him again, he passed me off to another employee who also couldn't find the order. I eventually noticed a bag with my name on the floor behind the register. They scanned it, and I left. When I opened the package later that night, I realized not only was the bag dirty--with a footprint on it--but the product inside was the wrong brand. I had ordered a specific brand on sale, and they substituted an Artist Loft item without informing me. The receipt label didn't match the product at all. I returned to the store the next morning, where the female manager told me they had substituted their own brand because the original item wasn't in stock. That explanation made no sense--if a customer orders Prismacolor, you don't replace it with Artist Loft. When I questioned it, she impatiently said, "Well, I'm returning it for you," with no apology, empathy, or effort to acknowledge the mistake. Not only did I waste over 30 minutes during the initial pickup, but I also had to make a second trip to return their error. A simple, sincere "I'm sorry" would have gone a long way. While I was there, I asked about another pending order. They told me if the item was on the shelf, I can get it. Even though the item showed available at this store, we couldn't find any. I ended up canceling it. More waste of time! Later that afternoon (4:11 p.m., Dec. 3), I called the store because the website was now showing the item in stock. The person who answered the phone cut me off with, "No, I'm too busy," without any courtesy or suggestion to call back. The level of rudeness at this store has become consistent and noticeable, even my young child has commented on it. This pattern of dismissiveness, errors, and lack of customer care is extremely disappointing. I hope regional or district management takes these issues seriously and restores the professionalism and positive atmosphere Michaels was once known for. (I've never shopped at Hobby Lobby until recently, and the vibe there is completely the opposite. It's warm, friendly, and the price of same brand products WAY cheaper than Michaels!!!) A few additional concerns for fellow customers: Many art supplies are significantly cheaper at Hobby Lobby, Amazon, or Dick Blick online. I genuinely prefer supporting local stores, but not at the expense of higher prices and poor treatment. When returning online orders paid through PayPal, you can request a cash refund. Store employees stubbornly claim they can only issue store credit, but when I called to ask, customer service confirmed that is NOT true. I now have over $100 in store credits! And I'll tell you next why I wouldn't opt for Michaels store credits. At the Redondo Beach location, an employee scanned two store credit receipts--each worth over $80--and told me they had no balance. He even asked if I wanted to throw them away. I later confirmed this was his error, but when I brought it up during a future visit, the same staff member simply shrugged while leaning on the register with his leg up. He no longer works there, but the value of those credits was never recovered, and I never received so much as an apology. Another ongoing concern is price inconsistencies. As someone who shops at Michaels often, I know the prices and watch for coupons like most loyal customers. However, the prices on the shelves frequently do not match the prices at the self-serve kiosks. I've asked for assistance on this four or five separate occasions, and it's surprising that the issue remains unresolved. Even worse, staff often appear visibly irritated when the discrepancy is pointed out. Right before a recent 40% promotion, prices on many items were increased in the kiosks but not updated on the shelf displays. I picked up a few items, excited to finally use the long-awaited 40% discount. At the register, everything rang up at the higher price. When I asked about it, I was told that "the overnight crew forgot to change the tags," even though every version of the item was still marked at the regular price on the shelves. In the end, it would have been cheaper to buy the items at their regular price with the standard 25% coupon than during this so-called 40% sale. I wondered why I still shop there. I guess because we are creatures of habits!
