There's also a separate room reserved for various Gundam model kits and 1/6th scale figures . Funny i can hear almost non-stop packing tape sounds coming from the back so i guess their online business must be booming ! Came here specifically for their Boxing week special and even though I'm only * one cent * away from qualifying for the $40 discount , dude suggested i should buy more instead . That's fine .

We were drawn in immediately, wide-eyed at all the tabletop and RPG items. We hung out at the back tables and played some demo tabletop games to kill time. I love their rating system, and the staff of course are very knowledgeable with recommendations. We ended up buying a few of the games when we got back home since we didn't have room in our suitcase. Since my fiancé is the DM of our D&D game, he got inspired by the books, minis, and scheduled games that take place at the shop. Such a neat place... We'd definitely be regulars if we moved here but for now, we'll settle on making this home base on our future trips to Vancouver.

I couldn't read the sign before to review on the store, but this store is fantastic! Rice crackers,…read moresauces, mixes, Japanese rice, cold beverages, chocolates are just a few items I've picked up. They also have a card/ toy section. What stands out is from this store is, all the snacks are not the normal ones you can get from TnT, Fujiya. It's not the largest store with the most variety but it has unique products. Prices are also more competitive than the other Japanese stores. Btw, they have discounted items that are near expiring that is crazy excellent pricing and I've never had an issue with. Free street parking on the front, next to a salon, and a sports racquet store.

From the owner: We are selling imported Japanese Foods, Snacks, daily use, and toys for entertain you.read more

They also have a decent amount of sports related stuffs like Jerseys and so forth. The employees I ended up talking to were pretty friendly and pretty helpful. As for prices, they're a bit up there but not out of the norm of how much the items typically go for everywhere else that sells similar attire and items. The only thing I wished they had stocks in were video games related to these kinds of stuffs, especially for older consoles or older RPG PC games. If you're into sports and RPG stuffs, poke your head into this store.

I'm very wary in purchasing things I know nothing about, in fact, I try to avoid it. Unfortunately,…read morethe only things I have sufficient knowledge of are makeup, hair products, clothes, and other girly things and in shopping for a Christmas gift for my boyfriend, such wisdom yielded no success. Toys. Boy playthings. Remote control vehicles. These are things I know nothing about. The last time I set foot in this space was back when it was a Millenium, and boy, did I stick out like a sore thumb as I waltzed in amongst the miniature cars, boats, airplanes, and the like. Not knowing where to begin, it wasn't long at all before an associate greeted me, pulling me out of my dumbfounded haze. Right off the bat, the sales associate asked me what I was looking for, who I was buying for, and what my price range was. I knew that I was looking for an RC vehicle of some kind, and that I was prepared to spend a pretty penny, but nothing ridiculous. Instantly, the associate advised me against the larger, more expensive models, and led me towards the beginner-friendly, moderately priced products. He gave me all the information on flying time, how the controls work, range of flight, etc (all of which promptly went in one ear and out the other side) before providing me with a demonstration of the model I ended up purchasing. But still I had one problem. One more hurdle that stood in the way of my joyous gift-giving, and that hurdle was orange. Orange. The only color helicopter they had left was orange, my arch nemesis as far as colors are concerned. Unfortunately, there wasn't much I could do, and my procrastination left me at the mercy of a possible additional shipment, so I crossed my fingers. When I returned a week later to pay for the gift, minus what I had already put down as a deposit to secure a quickly rising price, the associate had swapped out the tangerine-tinted toy with the red model that I had originally wanted. In short, my experience here was good. The staff are very friendly and knowledgable, and took the time to be sure I went home with a product that I was happy with.

The owner talked to me via email but refused to speak to me on the phone. I had to come from downtown to the store a total of 4 times and each time someone would tell me something different. The staff has no clue what they are doing or how to work the products and when I tried to get a refund they said they only exchange. Now I get this if I was sold a working product but because it wasn't I feel cheated that I couldn't return it. Instead I got a trade for a drone that didn't have the same features as the one I originally bought. What a Joke! DO NOT SHOP HERE

Attempted to process a return with this business and was told they require the original till…read morereceipt--despite the fact that I presented an itemized receipt that clearly shows the full transaction details (date, items, price, and payment), which is exactly what a till receipt reflects. This requirement was never disclosed at the time of purchase, even though I specifically asked about their return process. Instead, after the fact, they pointed to wording on the receipt that says "receipts" (plural) as if that somehow retroactively justifies refusing the return. That is not transparent policy--it's moving the goalposts. In standard retail practice, an itemized proof of purchase is sufficient to process a return. Most businesses understand that the purpose of a receipt requirement is simply to verify the transaction. When a customer provides clear documentation that does exactly that, refusing a return on a technicality is not policy--it's avoidance. I have been a professional shopper supporting small businesses in this city for eight years, and I have never encountered a store using this kind of tactic. It comes across as slimy, unprofessional, and frankly dishonest. What's especially disappointing is that I've spent thousands of dollars here over the years. Instead of honoring a straightforward $300 return with valid proof of purchase, they chose to damage a long-standing customer relationship. Because of this experience, they've lost a loyal customer. I will also be advising other shoppers in my community to avoid this store due to what appears to be bad-faith and poor business practices. I cannot recommend a business that treats customers this way.

The only other time I saw such a complete dollhouse specialty store was when I was about 10 years…read moreold, while vacationing in Winnipeg, MB. Ross' Miniature Treasure House is certainly NOT a tiny house displaying gems. It is a specialty hobby shoppe for all wonderful dollhouse things/furniture/additions/houses/etc. It has been standing for 26+ years and, though it is very difficult to maintain such a specialty shoppe, these owners seem to have found a relatively sustainable location that encourages some profitability. It is a little out of the way if you life in Vancouver or the Lower Mainland, but you will not be sorry that you made the trip. This store houses everything and anything that you have ever imagined for your dollhouse, or for someone else's hobby. I still remember the prices some 20 years ago in Winnipeg being outrageous for the miniatures, but Ross' Miniatures are priced at incredibly reasonable costs! The quality of the furniture and dollhouses are outstanding, so you also are investing in great product. You can find everything from the teeniest sushi rolls, to bunk beds, to queen Anne dining room sets, to silverware, to workable lighting fixtures, to spare parts for house renovations (including crown moldings, shingles, etc. etc. etc. ETC.) Service/owners are very friendly and helpful - and most importantly, not pushy at all! My only caution is to be alert of the time, as the store has pretty condensed hours of operation. Open: Tuesday thru Saturday - 9:30 to 4:00

I haven't interacted with staff that much but when I have they have been friendly and knowledgeable. I can happily recommend this store to just about everyone.
