    Love this place. The staff are all so helpful, knowledgeable and patient. I always feel like they take the time to find ways to help me solve problems; even when it would mean I'd be spending less money (or obviously just buying other stuff instead :) ). They have a variety of products in stock, ranging from "new hobby" beginner up to "second mortgage" mid-life crisis. They carry a lot of upgrade and replacement (#Bashers) parts in stock. I love stopping in after a session to pick up all the parts I need for a fun evening of repairs. I only wish they would sell beer, too.

    If you need remote control cars/planes/helicopters... Gearbox is the place to go. If you need airsoft items that are high quality. unique and realistic... Gearbox is also the place to go. If you are tired of sub-par service and indifference from other hobby shops and want top notch and knowledgeable service... Gearbox is the place to go. I have been in the RC hobby for over 20 years and into airsoft for 10 years. I have been far and wide to all of the hobby stores on the west coast and I can easily say that this store is probably the best all around store I have discovered. They may not be as big as some of the other big hobby stores around but they have an impressive collection of product. What really sets them apart is that they have the best customer service. Their employees are very helpful and will take the time to explain to you (novice and pro alike) the pros and cons of each thing. The experience I have had in other local shops has been bad because they are not helpful, knowledgeable, or nice and they make customers feel stupid and inferior. This elitist attitude is not present at Gearbox so this is why I would rather buy from them than other places. To me, it seems that they want to perpetuate and promote the hobby as they seem to enjoy it as well. Other places are very impersonal and are more concerned about moving product. I would rate Gearbox Models as... OUTSTANDING!

    They had a good selection of parts and the help seemed genuine. Give them a shot if you haven't

    Kevin, the owner, is an awesome man. Always helps my buddies and I with anything we need and always…read moreaccommodating. His staff are also good and spared no time getting us our cards. Fun environment to come and just play if you want. I will always buy from Kevin.

    The owner, Kevin, ripped us off…read more I came in with a list of about 60 cards for a budget deck. Some cards were clearly crossed out because I already owned them and communicated the cards crossed out were already owned and they confirmed it was fine. We agreed on a $65 max budget if it went over that, he wouldn't pull more cards. He handed me a sleeve full of cards without going over what was included, what was missing, or confirming anything from the list. When I asked if he was able to get everything, he said my list was "too big." That's fine but what's not fine is what happened next. When I reviewed the cards, a majority them were not pulled and about one third of the cards that were pulled were cards that were crossed out on my original list cards I already had and made clear I didn't need. Instead of properly correcting the mistake and refunding the difference, he argued and only gave us $10 back. And argued they were not crossed off the original list, when I have screenshots I'll share later to where they clearly were. For a budget deck, the total should never have been close to that amount in the first place especially considering the wrong cards were included. It felt careless at best and predatory at worst, especially toward newer players who may not double check everything on the spot. I hate to mention attitude as well but he came off as not at all welcoming. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this store to anyone. Didn't even get close to the full deck I was hoping to leave with.
