I want to say a few positive things about Michaels, in general, and about our last visit in…read moreparticular. First, Michaels continues to carry Pride Month merch. Sounds like a small thing, but for our family, it's a big deal. Second, we've gotten several things framed here, both custom and not. We were here this week to pick up some standard size frames, and we never fail to find attractive options. The frames have been moved to make way for the new Joann Fabric section, but that's fine. Third, they transitioned to a system where everyone does self-checkout, but if you have Michaels rewards or coupons, or both, there is always someone there to help you navigate. We want to recognize Zen for helping us maximize our savings this past visit.

I went to the shop today for the Pokémon 30th Celebration Collection. I called yesterday because I…read morewas told the supply was very limited. The employee I spoke with specifically advised me to arrive early if I wanted to make sure I could get one. They said that while they didn't want people lining up, realistically they couldn't stop people from doing so. Based on that information, I arrived an hour and a half before opening, which I think is completely reasonable for a highly anticipated drop with limited supply. Even then, I almost didn't get the item I came for because they were close to selling out. I also want to mention that the shop had taken measures to discourage scalping by cutting the seals and nearly removing them from the boxes. Since I was buying the product to actually open the packs, I personally didn't have a problem with this and understood why they were doing it. What really left a bad taste in my mouth happened afterward. I joined the shop's Discord to share my pulls and saw conversations about the people who had waited in line. The shop's manager, identified in the Discord as Sammy (Manager), said they were talking about taking a photo of the line, saying "everyone cheese!" and then refuse service to those people in line lol. The shop's Games of Livermore Discord account also commented that they had "just unplugged the phone calls are nonstop" before they had even op. I understand that getting nonstop calls during a highly anticipated release can be frustrating, but seeing the shop publicly talking about unplugging the phone because customers were calling about the release added to the impression that they simply didn't want to deal with the demand. In the same conversation, the shop's Discord account mentioned that they had served "around 110 plus people," while other members were making jokes and comments about the people who had lined up. The manager also commented, "where's everyone's pulls? or did yall already resell" in the conversation. Honestly, this is what bothered me the most. The store had already taken measures to prevent scalping, including altering the product packaging, and I was completely understanding of that. So seeing this level of bitterness toward customers who literally followed the advice given by the store to arrive early was pretty crazy to me. If you don't want people lining up, that's understandable. But if a customer calls ahead, is told that arriving early is realistically the only way to guarantee getting the product, and then actually does exactly that, it's pretty frustrating to see those same customers being mocked afterward. If the shop can't handle a line for a highly desired drop, maybe they shouldn't be stocking products that are obviously going to create one. Customers shouldn't be made to feel like they're doing something wrong for showing up early when the store itself told them that's realistically what they needed to do to get the product. I came in excited about the release, bought my product, and was happy with what I got. The product itself wasn't the issue. The way the situation and the customers who waited in line were talked about afterward is what completely soured the experience for me.

5 star independent and locally owned Lego store. My wife came years ago with my kids to make me a…read more"#1 dad" display and I wanted to do the same for her especially when I remembered she was gone at the store for more than an hour. The best part for us was the "build it yourself section" where they have a loose pile of bulk lego as well as a wall with more organized sorting. You can build anything here and every part you use is 25 cents at the register. My kids favorite part was looking for all the figure parts to make a recreation of our family. All those minifigure parts are up front near the "Lego Movie" Wildstyle statue. Near the register is also all the minifigures, I loved looking through these and seeing all the cool old lego figures I grew up with. The middle of the store has a huge city display you can tell was put together passionately. They also have used and brand new sets for sale. I let my kids each pick something around $15 for helping build a present for their mother and it was hard for them to choose with so many options! The store was totally packed the entire time we were there but staff and owners were super kind and helpful in finding random bits for us and other customers. Super kind people, thank you for being amazing!

Yes, I'd change that part so it's clear they did have Monster Jam RC trucks, just not Sparkle Smash…read morespecifically: This was my first time coming here, but my husband has been here before. He wanted to stop by to check out the RC cars and boats, and even he was surprised by how much the store had changed since the last time he visited! There was honestly so much to look at. They have a HUGE variety of RC stuff--cars, trucks, boats, planes, parts, accessories, different bodies, and so much more. They even work on and repair RC cars there, which is really convenient. For me, the coolest part was the indoor RC track! Since this was my first time here, I was honestly amazed watching everyone race their little RC cars around the track . I didn't realize how big of a hobby this was, so it was actually really fun to watch. They also have an entire rock-crawling room with rocks, bridges, ramps, and different obstacles for the RC trucks, which was really cool to see. The guy working there was also really nice. He greeted us when we came in and answered all of my husband's questions. He was friendly and took the time to talk to us without making us feel rushed. They also had several Monster Jam RC trucks, which immediately caught my attention . I specifically asked about the Sparkle Smash truck. They didn't have that particular one, but he said they might get it later on. He also told us to come back because they're having a Monster Jam event soon, and now I'm actually interested in coming back for it! My husband already knew about this place, but as a first-time visitor, I was really impressed. Even though RC cars aren't really my hobby, I still had a good time looking around and watching everyone race. Between the huge selection, indoor track, rock-crawling area, repair services, and friendly customer service, we'll definitely be back!
