    Pretty good shop. Pretty good selection. I found it to be a lot of fun. And now I need nine more characters so here they are.

    The staff here was on top of a very busy line when we entered which was awesome to see a local shop…read moregetting a lot of business. I think there was weekly that just ended or something else as it was a bunch of younger boys with their parents grabbing boosters and other TCG accessories. The staff members here were patient and conversing with the parents and child which I always appreciate when the kiddos are included. They were also friendly and helpful to not only us but the other customers too. They had quite a bit of different products to browse from TCGs, comics, board games and much more. The prices were fair too! They have a refrigerator with lots of different types of beverages. I also asked if they were dog friendly, which they are as long as they don't make a mess so I brought in our two fur babies who got some pets from the staff. The store is organized well as well as plenty of room to walk around. They had a few long tables and chairs for weeklies or just casual hang outs as there were some players just opening One Piece packs.

    I get that the market is currently high for pokemon cards, but no way are these prices acceptable…read more They shouldn't be, but people are still going to fork over the money to buy these cards. You walk in and the back of the counter is just loaded with every ETB you can think of. It makes you wonder how they got them. It's places like these that make Pokemon card collecting less enjoyable. Honestly, go support Curio in MLT. Those are good, honest people who love the fun of collecting and you'll pay only $75 for an ETB.

If you were into LEGOs or similar or did small crafts, this store is a blast. Everything is friction-held together for the most part (tiny amounts of glue on occasion, from what I gathered by chatting with people). With all the pieces pre-painted/cut so you can focus on going through assembly as a fun time. Some of the models have very simple motor/light electronics which bring them to life. Unlike LEGOs, these are designed to be crafted together and then displayed without remixing them further. Large variety of model types. Some which fit onto a bookshelf and tell a story, some which are small city buildings, or some that are just items like flowers. The store interior showcases a large variety of the models, and staff were helpful with pointing out ones which fit a particular interest (we had a friend we know loves stag beetles and surprise, they had a stag beetle). The models run around $40 for the middle sized ones, and we ended up buying several, as nicer gifts to friends who we know would appreciate the fun of assembling them and showing off their creations.

Dez the store manager was nice and chill, making himself available whenever I had questions or wanted to talk about something, but otherwise leaving me to browse. He was knowledgeable and conversational, seemed like a very interesting guy. No pressure. The store is on the smaller side, but that seems to be on par for those I've seen in this state (Tacoma is a bigger, but their schedule is more limited). There were a lot of people playing, but it didn't feel overly cramped. Been there twice, will go back again once I need more very expensive plastic.

Honestly, no big deal. GW has a million products, so I realize a shop this size can't stock everything. However, every time the manager tries to talk me out of buying what I want and into something else. He just won't take no for an answer, and keeps arguing with me. He is like a terrible used car salesman who won't stop arguing and trying to push you into things you don't want. I didn't want to overreact with a negative review after my first visit, but this same thing has happened to me upon 3 separate visits. I also took two friends with me this last time, and upon leaving the store they both said "WTF is up with that guy??" So at this point I feel the review is warranted.

    I called today to ask about selling my collection. The man who answered asked me how many stamps I…read morehave and when I told him about 120 he very rudely said "that doesn't sound very interesting". I then tried to give a description of what I have and he interrupted and said he wasn't interested? I have about 2k into the collection and according to the book that's what it would price out at. I NEVER expected to get anywhere near that as I understand the store needs to make a profit. But why so rude? And if they only want to buy high dollar stuff and very large collections, then say so on your website so I don't waste my time our theirs. So like pretty much everyone else hear that has tried to selll them something, what a waste of time. Rude and unprofessional.

    First, reading the reviews you will notice the negative reviews come from folks trying to sell…read morestamps or collections they've inherited. Some people think stamps are more valuable simply because they are old and assume valuation based on a quick internet search without regard to understanding mint vs. used, centering, condition, and other factors. So, take the negative reviews with a fist-full of salt! I have been doing business with Art for several years. Art is extremely knowledgeable and understands the hobby and his customers. I was looking for a rare stamp and after looking through a few complete albums we found what I was looking for and he was willing to separate it from the complete album to help me complete my collection. He is always helpful and willing to talk stamps! If you are a serious collector, or if you want to start your philatelic journey visit Art.

    Wow.... I've been going to Alexanders Bead Bazaar for years and was really surprised at the…read morenegative comments. I wish we had an Alexanders on the South End and I really dreamed about the store when I lived back East for 3 years! I could not find any stores with decent prices. Trust me when I tell you that Alexanders is heads above their competition - and not just in the NW. When I lived in Seattle ABB used to be the place I wanted to shop more than any other store, and have recommended it to at least a dozen beaders. Even when I taught classes at a different store. They beat out Bead World which is too expensive and predictable in their bead selections. Glad some of y'all have deeper pockets than I do to shop at BW. If you have a business license you want to get signed up to save moreat ABB where you have to have a minimum sale of $20 to qualify for the discount, which is easy to do. ABB's goal is to find moderate priced items for the Scottish souls, which I admire. Even their rough gem strands for $3 that I put into some of my more eclectic work. They have a lovely selection of $3 pearl strands too. Occasionally markdowns on $1 strands that I scarfed up and wish I'd bought more. And I l-o-v-e the 25 cent charms. Such fun! I over-do those every time. But once I overbought something and they kindly reimbursed me. No hassles, and no telling me it had to be store credit, which would be okay too. (unless the customer was POd) As for staff - I have enjoyed talking to the owners over the years, Sam is passionate about being able to give a good deal for those of us who are thrifty beaders, but they also have the high-end gems on strings that I enjoy just gazing at and dreaming of what I could make. You know that 'zen' state you go into while gazing at beads? And I actually broke down and bought a couple of the pricey ones at different times. They also put half price sales on those unique and expensive beads - so you need to keep an eye out. ABB is certainly more accessible than gem shows all year long - and I need to feel the bead so I get a 'feel' for the texture and colors of my designs - cannot do that with Fire Mountain, which often disappoints me when I receive my orders. Scrawny beads for supposedly cheap prices. (rolling eyes) I go to most of the gem shows around the NW and in Oregon, Texas and Ohio... and still enjoy going back to Alexanders to see what Sam Savar has managed to dig up in his travels. One of the owners is a wonderful beader and teaches classes. Their artwork and fine beading examples are around the store to peruse, and they don't panic that you might want to know how something is done - ergo, 'copy' their beadwork. So check out their website and blog - get on ther mailing list so you know when the sales are coming up. Only staff negative I can think of - sometimes the ABB clerks talk about things that are too personal, and not related to beading, and it is a small store so you can hear everything. Their lack of professionalism disturbed me once or twice, but overall I don't see it as a reflection of the store or the owners. I also had help when I asked for it, and they let me browse - and visualize - to my heart's content from the moment I walk in the door and pick up a basket - showing my ABB shopping savvy. Otherwise they'll ask if you want a basket. The only thing that really bothers me is that they are not open on Mondays. Seems that every time I go visit my family North of Seattle for a weekend and come back by Alexanders they are not open. I even went by bus one day taking an hour trip just to find them closed. Frustrating. I wish they would change that. I was serious when I offered to work there just on Mondays. LOL! Owner suggestions - besides opening on Mondays - please seriously consider moving the cash register about five feet closer to the door so they can see the front door better, and relate to incoming and outgoing clients so the clients feel more connected. Why not have a Suggestion Box so one could make proactive comments privately, or request different items? One could sign up for the mailing list there too.

    The store offers a unique variety of treasures. Beads, boxes, pendants, and more. We found a great…read moreselection of semi-precious beads for $6 a strand.
