And yes, you can find no fewer than eleven items in the store featuring what appears to be an insanely angry bald eagle. But they also have some actual artistically aesthetic things, as well as some goofy but cool stuff for the kids. Of course you could make your own medieval weaponry out of plywood at home, but you won't-- so just buy that big Halberd here (that's a pole axe, Mildred.).

A man came walking out Of the Store saying we will match any price. Wow ! Then told me " my wife made him say that"#HappyWifeHappyLife ! Then I started talking to another lady who greeted me in the store. She was very nice too. I think I got into like a 20 minute conversation about Star Wars .Then in the other corner of the stores my cousin was looking at some pretty big souvenirs to take home to his mom. They were only $15 . Definitely a cool spot ! Definitely a cool spot to go Christmas shopping reasonable prices and lots of collectibles !

He's in the process of learning as a new glass artist, and showed me some of his work! I scooped a few of his hand made marbles/pearls and a pendie for a souvenir. It was a great experience and a cool space to chill. It was such a great experience that I wanted to go back the next day with my wife! The next day we came in together, and received the same stellar customer service. The owner also showed us more of his work, which included some new techniques he was learning. He showed us a marble that he was learning fuming on, that he didn't have displayed for sale because it wasn't "perfect." Despite this, the color is gorgeous and happened to match wifey's fumed heady. It was "perfectly imperfect," a recurring theme we have been having in our relationship. Immediate chills and scoop! On the way out, there was an e-board demo from @instabenbrown, who invited us to try out the e-boards. We couldn't since we were in a bit of a rush, but the demo was like a kick it session in the sun that we wanted to join! Cooler, beach chairs, ez up and all! We had to go, but the vibe of the place made us want to stay. Despite all the glass being hand worked by the artist in the back, the prices are fair. All the staff and the crew are very friendly and quite knowledgeable, and took their time to talk with us. We felt truly welcomed in this place. They had other things besides glass and the usual smoke shop stuff, like longboards, r/c cars, and clothing. Also probably the only non "broken window smoke shop" in Bear IYKWIM. We will be returning here every time we visit Big Bear as long as we can! Thank you for the great experience!

While they didn't have the one I was looking for, they had another one I was interested in. I asked how much the figure was and was quoted $200.00 (plus shipping). I went ahead and purchased the figure. Unbeknownst to me, they had the figure on their website on sale for $183.99. I called the following day because my debit card payment had not gone through. At that time, I asked them if they would honor the sale price of the figure. I fully expected them to do so, since it seemed like an innocent mistake. Unfortunately, they claimed that several people were interested in the figure at full price and therefore would not sell it for less than $200.00. I'm very disappointed with how they conduct business and treat their customers. I was very excited about the purchase and this left a bad taste in my mouth. Please be wary and check their website before making a purchase over the phone.
