    A spooky guy standing by the front door. Spooked me each time I saw him out of the corner of my eye. LOL
    Wendy B.

    And you thought we only drove long distances for good food....nope. After several failed attempts to find small models at other stores in the Phoenix area, we arrived here. And by George, we found stuff to make Mr. B happy. (Son doesn't know it yet, but we got something for him too, so don't tell.) Plastic models. Airplanes, ships, cars, tanks, plus puzzles. A nice little store with just enough fun stock to get the imagination going and the itch to do something with your hands. And a great place to bring the kids and intoduce them to model building. You will find a whole range of skill levels. In the back they have tables set up. Today there was a bunch of guys and one young boy getting tips on building. A cool way to spend a Saturday with your kid. Yeah....special bonding moment! My great find? A little robot bug. About one inch long with lots of little legs, runs on a watch battery. And...it glows in the dark. He is selling them 50% off right now, so not sure if he will carry more once he is out. But I got mine. I am not sure if I will share with the cat or grandson Drew, but I am sure they would get a kick out of it buzzing around and flip flopping. Mr. B's finds? He will be building a plane (Avenger) and a Russian tank in his Man Cave once we get home from our vacation. That should keep him out of my hair for a good while. You will find a very friendly owner with quite a fascination of planes and tanks, who loves to chit chat. And if he does not carry what you want in stock, he has catalogs.

    The gentleman that owns this store is very unprofessional. My son took an antique train engine he received from his grandfather into get it repaired. After calling several times to see if it was repaired. They LOST IT!!! they didn't say sorry just offered to replace it with a new one? WHAT? So we chose another train set worth $200. THEN. took another (I know we shouldn't have) engine in and they didn't even work on it after having it for a month. I went to pick it up and the OWNER asked what kind of train was it? You mean it isn't under my name? He was put out after having me interrupt his lunch which is in the counter of the store and his eyes reading the computer. He was rude and uncaring not "I'm sorry or just a minute ). I am in the customer service industry and have been for 30 years!! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I was told by 2 other valley train specialist that this man was a thief and unethical. I find this TRUE in every sense of the words. I will be driving to North valley for all my train needs in the future.

    The owner repaired my old abused model train for $10! Thorough, inventive, and transparent. Support this business. Highly recommend.
