Gonna give the red caboose a five star regardless of my experience…read more Ok. So I actually popped in a little while back just to get the lay of the land. Blah, blah blah I could reiterate what everyone else has said. Good and bad. But it's necessary that we preserve as many places that still cater to specialty interests and hobbies. It's more museum with the option to sell moreover than a hobby shop at this point. The two times I've been in there the individual running the shop was speaking with customers and was very knowledgeable. Yet a bit brusque. Be respectful. And understanding. However... I, on my latest visit was prepared to make a purchase. You see I was home because work was slow. I was perusing Amazon etc looking for a project to keep me occupied while I have some downtime. By the way it's January and just got really, really cold. I want to support as many brick and mortar businesses as possible. So I button up and make the trip downtown. So I get there and peruse the inventory. After a while I find something that will keep me busy for a few weeks. Here's the rub. I get to the counter and the owner( I assume) starts looking up the price. It's got a price on the side of the box but he claims it's the wrong price. I stand there patiently whilst he looks it up on his iPad. And wait. Now he's tagging on 20 bucks to the existing price on the box. The prices on most of these items are pretty high I noticed. All good. But don't try to squeeze me at the register and tell me someone put the wrong price on the box. If you'd have honored the price right or wrong I'd be sitting here working on the model. Instead I'm writing this review.

Great selection of figures, singles and card products. Owner is friendly, passionate about TCG and…read moreattentive Unfortunately many TCG products are overpriced. 1 english prismatic evolutions pack on TCGplayer is $~15 today 6/27/26. They're selling for $25 a pack. Bulk singles no matter the market price are $1, and full arts start at $5. Almost paid $5 for a $2 card, and ended up paying $5 for about $0.90 worth of cards. I would definitely recommend doing due diligence before buying anything here.

Cool store to browse and has a lot of unique items you do not normally see elsewhere. The layout is…read moreclean, products are well displayed, and it is easy to spend time looking around. That said, the prices felt pretty steep for many of the items being sold. While there were some interesting finds, it was hard to justify the cost on a lot of them. Worth stopping in if you are already in the area and enjoy browsing specialty shops, but I found myself admiring more than buying. Overall, a fun visit, just a bit overpriced for what it offers.

However know they will watch you like hawks and have no shame starring at you while you walk around and will constantly remind you to bag and price things you put on your trays. It's unnerving and unwelcoming the way they hover over you. I come here often on my lunch breaks because it's very close to my job and they still watch over me crazy as if they don't see me here almost every week. They price some beads individually which can get really expensive, you can def find better deals elsewhere in the fashion district, since it's so close.
