The staff know exactly where everything is and you can find everything from handpainted minis to obscure RPG games. What it lacks and aesthetic it makes up twice fold with games, dice, etc. If you're new to the RPG community, it will look overwhelming and intimidating. But if you're a hard-core person, this is where you get your stuff.

My partner and I go to PAX Unplugged every year and were excited to check out this reputable games store. I knew there were stairs to get in, so I used my cane to get up the stairs and my partner carried my rollator (a fancy walker) up them. Unfortunately, once we were in the shop, I was only able to go so far when I couldn't fit down the aisles any further. Would love to see this shop in a more accessible location!

The owner and his father have a large supply of collectibles such as hard to find figurines from funko pops, marvel, Jurassic and anime. There's a whole wall of pokemon packs to purchase and also binders where you can also buy single cards. There are other popular collectible card collections as well. They will buy Pokemon cards and also open to cut deals if you make bulk purchases. This is a fun place to look around and yes...you end up spending a lot unexpectedly on Knick knacks you didn't know you needed to have. Best bring cash or have a Zelle account before making the trip to the store.

One of the few hobby stores in midtown, Red Caboose specializes in model trains, diecast cars,…read moreplanes, and model kits but they also have a small stock of paint, supplies, and accessories. If you really need something or are in the area, the staff seem knowledgeable and helpful although the store selection leaves a lot to be desired.

Kazumi has been my favorite manager for years--our encounters are always joyful--and today I also met Tamaki, who had a wonderful, welcoming presence. Normally my visits are a 9-10/10, but this time fell short due to Kaoru's behavior. After I politely declined a tray in the crystal section, she sucked her teeth and muttered something under her breath. Later at checkout, Kaoru -- a woman with a bob haircut) -- ignored my question until I repeated it, tossed my receipt at me, didn't bag my items, and walked away when I asked her name, telling me "it wasn't necessary". I also couldn't help but notice I was the only one who looked like me in the store at the time, which made the interaction feel targeted. This was especially disappointing because every other transaction I've had here has been handled with care. As a loyal, long-time customer, I hope Kaoru's attitude improves, because the warmth and professionalism I've consistently received from Kazumi and Tamaki are what make Toho Shoji such a special place.

Awful and INHUMANE customer service. And apparently it comes FROM THE TOP…read more Forget courtesy, apparently being treated like a human being is too much to ask. Imagine driving 45 min to pick up an order. This after having to call because their website was broken and not allowing pickup orders. This was after originally posting for help on the discord. Finally you arrive but slip prior to coming in (to be clear not in front of this store) and find you are bleeding. Your partner asks if the have a first aid kit and what should be a simple yes/no answer turns into bumbling words which seems like a long way to not help. Some bumbling about maybe having a bandaid without any offer to give that. And then you're told "you can just go to the pharmacy down the street." Okay, you then go up and ask for the restroom, hoping to clean off the wound and use some tissue to stop bleeding. Same person "Oh, well- we don't have our restroom open right now." My response : "so you have no restroom open and no first aid kit so are completely unprepared for if someone gets hurt in your store?" The response: "Look dude what do you want me to say - we don't have stuff for cleaning wounds, our bathroom isn't prepared, we're busy blah blah blah" At this point, I become hyper aware I'm the only black person in the store. Does that factor in- I don't know. All I know is I was being treated awfully and the rare times that happens, I start searching for why in my mind. It's obvious at this point this person is just trying to shoo me off. Eventually, I blurt out "Fine, I have a pickup order. I just want my order. " "Oh, fine." And I say "I don't want help from you though, can I get help from someone else?" I then turn to a female employee because 1) I'm a woman and at this point are getting all the signs this person does not give a eff about actually providing any help to me. The female employee comes over and is smiling apparently ready to help and maybe diffuse the situation. The individual then goes "No, I'm the owner. And I'll just refund your owner" "I don't want a refund, I just drove 45 min to get here. I just don't want your help. You've started this off mean and awful." "I don't want your money. Look, just I'm giving your a refund. Is this your order?" He then shoves the three items I purchased at me and goes "I'll give your a refund." I protest - I don't want a refund. I'm not trying to get one over on the store. What I wanted was to be treated like a human being instead of an annoyance, especially when I am in pain and trying to stop bleeding. What I want is an apology or at the least, to be helped from someone else who won't brush me off both as a customer and person in need of help. What I walked away with is knowledge that the owner of the institution is a tactless person lacking of empathy and apparently the ability to have basic things prepared at his own store like a bathroom, first aid kit, or even a clean piece of tissue.
