Do you need decals for whatever reason? They have a big free bin near the front. Do you need cement? What types? There are so many! And, if you don't know, the guys who work there do, and they will make sure you walk away with what you need. If you've been thinking about giving models a go, or are just looking for a place that has shelves lined with them, this is where you want to go. It's hard to believe that a brick and mortar like this place still exists, but it's wonderful that it does!

I was after a somewhat obscure NiCad battery for an old RC car that I was giving to my nephew. Lots of staff available and I was served right away. At first we determined that I might need a newer battery and charger (which was more expensive that I had planned) but one of the guys said 'let me try to find a NiCad for you' and he did. It ended up costing me much less than the first option but the goodwill to me as a customer was priceless. They solved my problem and saved me money. I will be back and I will recommend it to friends. Thanks Guys!

Called into a couple of stores in Toronto, LA, New York and Las Vegas looking for a charizard. I…read morespoke to Christian who had a base set 1999 charizard. This card was the gold among kids of my age when I was younger and I remember only two kids had a charizard. This was when Pokémon was booming more so than it is now with"Pokémon Go". Christian, the owner, passed the phone to Brian (the Pokémon expert) to inform me that they only had one charizard left. This wasn't a sales tactic but rather when I arrived in store, they did only have one charizard. The charizard is exactly how they described it over the phone pristine condition. Off the record, they said it'd probably grade at a 9. Drove over to look at it. Parking is tight because of the mall and all the other businesses around it (Shoppers Drug Mart, Popeyes, GoodLife) it's in the mall entrance beside Popeyes. The only downfall of the mall is it doesn't have automatic doors but that didn't stop me from looking at this piece of amazing art. Went to see it and Christian was real nice. Took pictures, was very reasonable and took my concerns to heart (tried calling in the entire day, and voiced my concerns to him, he IMMEDIATELY took action and took care of the problem) this is a place I'd definitely buy from again, and Christian also offered to get it PSA/Beckett graded for me. He stated there are three prices but recommended I get the cheapest one because it's the exact same thing, only getting it graded quick costs more. So if you have the money, go for the most expensive option, but if you want to save any money, wait a little while more and that's what he'd recommend. I'd say he's pretty honest and personable! He seems to know all his customers on a first name basis and this is a place I would've loved to hang out at a kid!!! 4/5 (prior to grading - I think I'll go back and get it graded and re-review) Would recommend to everyone! - Yelp King of Toronto (check that, I'm Yelp King hard af to reach)

Legends has extremely competitive pricing (Games Workshop stuff usually 20% off!) and a very nice selection of board games, comic books, cards, minatures, and geeky merch (I definitely picked up a Rainbow Dash mug on my last visit here.) If they don't have something that you have your eye on, you can connect with them to see if they will order it for you (which they likely will, if they can!) Really flexible hours of operation, open late many nights of the week, and there are constantly events occuring here. They have a fairly large, well-lit, and clean gaming space in the back. Customer service here is quite friendly. I'd HIGHLY reccomend checking out Legends if you are in/around the Vaughan area to get your geek on :).

It's like Walmart lol you go in for one thing and leave with 10. There's a pretty good selection of board games, both popular and obscure. If they don't have what you're looking for they'll gladly order it for you and give you a call when it comes in. The guys who work there are all very nice and very knowledgeable. The first time I came, I was still fairly new to tabletop gaming so I wasn't sure what to get. I had my eyes set on Agricola but after talking to the associate I realized I wasn't ready for such a heavy euro game just yet. The associate asked us what we liked and then basically went through their entire collection with us, pointing out and explaining various games that he thought would appeal to us. You don't get customer service like that anymore! All the games are also much cheaper than you would find at Chapters or Mastermind Games. They've also got tons of other nerd stuff like comic books, figurines, and superhero paraphernalia. The store is located in the back of the plaza so it's difficult to find if you don't know where to look.

Horrible experience dealing here buying online. Never again. Scam alert with this business…read more Misleading stock levels get you to "pre-order" so they can trap your money and go for the 15% restocking fee scam. BBCT does not say "in stock" on its web page for a reason. A pre-order is a get in line thing, they discount pre-orders to suck you in, so I did not expect it right away. A few weeks is reasonable. Communication is child like texting with rude staff who make up nonsense. After no follow up communication for 12 days (except my Sept 1 order confirmation stating "preparing for shipping") I "texted' a update request Sept 12th. I ordered Sept 1 2026, update text from BBCT stated Oct 17 to Nov 15 availability. If they showed a 2.5 month wait I would have never ordered a seasonal item. The item WAS IN STOCK at the distributor and 3 other Ontario hobby shops. I was told Horizon Hobby Canada was the delay. There is no Horizon Hobby Canada, its a distributor in BC called HPD. Misrepresenting the truth is not Cool. Avoid these people for online orders. BBB rating is 2/5 stars. Thats too generous.

Little did I know of the fast and efficient service from Sunward Hobbies. I ordered from their website after seeing a Facebook advertisement (note to business-keep the facebook ads-they work) I didn't expect them to be that fast But I received my order, every item with none missing, must have been 12-14 separate items, in literally 2 days. And It was free delivery, no extra charge for expedited delivery like some other companies charge. I will definitely be back because of this. And I highly recommend this business to one and all with no reservations. Great job Sunward Hobbies!!!

The place is also nice and open, orderly and clean. Staff are super friendly. I've been here a couple times, and if I'm honest I haven't made any notable purchases. However, my son has been fascinated with trains from the earliest age - so he's almost reached heaven when he enters. The have two running model train layouts. One of them being a bit more oriented for children, and the other one the more typical heavily detailed layouts which would've required countless hours to complete. The staff are happy to getting the start the trains and it's a special moment for my son. It's not a cheap hobby, and the prices may surprise you if you aren't familiar, but I'm sure anyone involved in it is already aware of this. They do however have a few things scaled down in price, and they sell some of the wooden Thomas trains as well. Good on them for supplying and supporting a unique market, and coming from a family with trains in our legacy, I hope they continue strong.

A great selection of books and other documentary materials. If the prices seem high, well, nothing in any hobby is cheap! Check around! Accessible!

It really depends on what you're looking for. If you have something in mind and are set on finding…read moreit here, you might be disappointed. It's more of a place where you're not looking for any specifics and more of "oh I think they would enjoy this". I was told before coming here that they have a good selection of books. That I can agree on. Tons of board books for my one year old niece, all priced very fairly. Most were under $5. I got one book for $2.75 and another for $2.50. Both books retail for $8-$9. They even have a section for French books. My boyfriend came in looking for some toys for his nephews. They have a ton of minion things. Oh and a huge section for Thomas the Tank Engine. He left with 3 red bags of toys, books and puzzles. They have a TON of puzzles. He picked up 4-5 licensed character puzzles (Mickey Mouse, Cars, Minions). They have a good "art aisle", which has everything you could possibly need. Paint, crayons, markers etc. There are Crayola brand items. There is a "boy aisle" that has Thomas the Tank Engine, some Lego, remote control cars, Hot Wheels and other toys. I'm pretty much listing off what I can remember. They obviously have a "girl aisle" but I cannot remember a single thing in that aisle, as we didn't spend much time there. Then they have a "baby aisle" which has some Fisher Price toys, some clothes and bibs and stuff. Like I said, they have an okay selection of toys if you're not picky. In addition, not ALL prices are deals but most are, I guess. They had some remote control cars for $12, which I thought were kind of expensive, as they were small dinky cars. However, as mentioned previously, books are a great deal here.

So I went online and purchased it from JC Penny and had it shipped all costing me about $90. 2 weeks after my brother in law told me about Samko. I went into this warehouse not sure what to expect however I realized that the same items they have in store are probably 50% cheaper here. I found the same Hotwheels playset for $29.99. They have Transformers that I had purchased at Walmart for $20 at a very good price of $9.99. Other then the fact you dont get a shopping cart and that you are inside a warehouse the prices are very good. However most of the items were books. Before you go to Walmart go here and check it out. Good deals.
