I scored a 1000 piece puzzle for 4$!! The first floor is mainly kitchen stuff, stationary, CDS/DVDS, and the hottest books of the moment. The second floor is adult books. The third floor is toys and kids books. I don't read much in French, so I often skip the second floor. But the third floor is so fascinating. They have so many puzzles and new board games, I love browsing. They have a tiny section of YA books in english, it will mostly be the popular titles. I love it here. It's so cozy and inviting. I wish they had some small areas where you could sit and enjoy basking in the glory of their products, but I probably wouldn't buy anything if that was the case. It is next to a Starbucks so once you've bought something, you can go grab a coffee and start reading!

Whereas soooo many stores and bistros and restaurants have changed or disappeared on Laurier and in…read morethe area, it was a very welcome surprise that this large, multi-level (3 stories) bookstore is still here. Although I hate to call it a bookstore, as it sells so much more: The main level has toys, kitchen stuff, journals and stationery and cards, school notepads and office/workspace stuff, calendars, gourmet teas and chocolates and reading/book accessories. There were some small glass plates here that I regret not getting as gifts; at $6 each, they easily liked like they cost four times at amount. And there were some funky glass cheese platters as well that I regret not buying. Dang, I'm going to have to go back..... The upper two levels are comprised of French books for sale. This is a great store. Prepare to spend time here browsing.

He was very friendly and knowledgeable. The store features a good selection of models and toys including RC planes, rockets, put together models, die cast and plastic cars, trucks and aircraft, and more. There's even a mini race car track in the basement for racing events. It looks super cool. I wish we lived closer so we could check out some of the races. All in all, it's a great place to buy engaging and fun models and toys.

With our love of traditional toy shops the window display made this store a definite visit. The…read moreinside was packed with every category of toy you could imagine and the owners have obviously been sourcing toys far and wide for sometime. Favorites were the big selection of girls play tea sets, the wide selection of plastic foods, fruits and veg, laid out as if you were in a farmers market, the selection of wooden ride-on toys and the jack in the box selection (always a hit with babies). We would have returned to buy but on the way out I noticed that the lady behind the counter was looking at something closely on her computer screen as we walked up from the back of the store. As I got closer I saw that it was a surveillance camera watching our every move with zoom!. The store wasn't that big!! and everywhere was visible from the cash. We must have been the only customers on this wet and windy morning and she couldn't be bothered to come out from behind her security "control centre." Forget it, with that attitude we won't be going back.

https://minimototoys.com/products/jp-101-yellow…read more I purchased this car and there are a significant number of problems with it. Here is just part of the problem because I stopped keeping track after it became obvious this was more than just a genuine mistake or manufacturing defect. - Cable for Horn Wire for horn just harnessed to radio PCB with absolutely no tie wraps or anything to prevent force being put on the connector on the board. Well putting on the steering wheel, The harness slid right off of the PCB and getting inside was a huge pain in the ass. A simple tie wrap is the proper solution. Cheap and lazy. Disassembling the dashboard to get inside was a huge pain in the ass. After finally getting in there, I found out that the problem was more than just no tie-wrap preventing it from being pulled off the PCB. The harnesses do not match and do not fit together! It is completely loose. Clearly the wiring for the steering wheel and the radio module were purchased from totally different vendors and didn't fit together and you guys didn't bother to even replace the hardness to a correct one that fits. You can see below that even pushing the hardness all the way down, it doesn't stay in place because it isn't made for it. The only way to prevent it from sliding out was to hot glue it. -Steering column Steering column rod was too short to install the steering wheel so I couldn't put the pin in. It's because the rod has ~2" of play in it which allows the rod to slide down towards the floor. This causes it to fall out of the grooves for the steering wheel drive motor so even if you try to push the rod back up, it won't move. For a while I thought it was the wrong steering wheel or the rod was too short until I turned the car upside down and realized the problem was it had slipped out of the motor assembly. Getting it put together was a huge pain in the ass because I had to hold the rod up and in place in the motor while trying to attach the steering wheel and insert the pin. This is a very sloppy design. What's worse, the instruction manual said nothing about this so I had to waste so much time figuring it out on my own. - TERRIBLE Instructions The worst instructions I've ever seen. An incredibly poor translation that mostly doesn't even make sense. Obvious mistakes where whole sentences are repeated and slightly different ways as if the person editing the original document didn't bother to take out any revisions The diagrams are so small with so much going on that it is absolutely useless. You cannot see what you are supposed to be doing Even if it was written in proper English, made sense, and had functional diagrams, the instruction book didn't match the car. Yes it was the same model and the picture was on the cover but the instructions talk about mounting things that arent part of the car while other components that I do have are never mentioned anywhere. There are three different types of screws provided but they referred all of them as M4*12. These are not all M4*12. So either the instructions are so bad that they didn't bother to clarify which of the three different types of screws to use for particular parts or I just got a handful of whatever screws they had laying on the floor. -TERRIBLE build quality In addition to what I described above, the work you guys did to install the wiring and motors was absolutely terrible. One of the back motors was not mounted at all since the strap holding it was completely deformed and the motor slipped out. The other rear motor was loose and almost falling out. A few of the components and wiring bundles were tie wrapped but the majority of it was left dangling and exposed (including what I mentioned above about the horn wiring harness). Here is one example of the inline auto-reset fuse on the front right motor. It was not tie wrapped down or mounted to anything so it was handing down almost touching the floor. This would have certainly snagged onto something and ripped apart, possibly causing a fire or injury if it happened before the fuse. The front left was tie wrapped and mounted but not front right so obviously you knew it should have been done but didn't bother doing both sides. I can't believe how much time I wasted on this and how poorly this was made.
