Bought a TRAXXAS TRX4 for $500. Went home, opened the box and charged the batteries. After looking…read moreat the car I felt I got the wrong color (grabbed the silver SHOULD have gotten the RED one) came back the NEXT day to exchange for a different color and was told I had to ask the manager. So then I had to come back the following then after that to talk to the manager, he didn't even want to look at the car which isn't cheap. I was willing to upgrade to a nicer, more expensive option but was still told no. DO NOT recommend this place. BAD customer service. Stuff happens and business work with customers who use their business but this place didn't even look at the brand new control truck. Which cost a pretty penny!

Somewhat ambiguous experience. We are not pro hobbyists so not sure how it compares. The selection…read morewas inconsistent which just means they have a certain focus - on Japanese models and on recreating landscapes and tracks and trails and what not for cars or trains. Very cool selection for those 2 things. And it happens we WERE there for Japanese models so we were perfectly happy. Large selection of model-making supplies. Definitely would go here before we order supplies online in the future. Yes, the greeting was half-hearted - but both people there did greet us and what do you expect - they were busy talking about hobby stuff :) It's a bit dated in terms of the space, seems a bit tired, but I think "in this economy" they are presenting themselves reasonably. They had some great sales. Half off prices of some model kits right now.

What a great store! I have seen it on my trips to the International District for years, but I have…read morenever been inside. I recently got into the Gundam hobby and thought it was time to check this store out. The interior is small but packed with stock, and a few very impressive display cases containing some great scale models. There were several other customers in the store and the owner/operator had a good report with all of them. He took time to talk with me and answer my questions and was very friendly and knowledgeable. I really appreciated his tips and advice. Hike the store is small it has a very good selection of model lines and models. It even had a few premium boxes which I was excited to see. Beyond the models there was also a very good selection of hobby tools paints and supplies. I will absolutely be coming back here and can't recommend it highly enough.

I couldn't be happier with the results and can easily recommend them to anybody looking for assistance with such needs. My thanks to the whole team!

It's my first time, so I brought my entire screen and AC insert to the store. They were able to…read moretake the measurements there. Summer is their busy season, so I definitely recommend doing it sooner before the weather gets too hot. The whole plastic for the window was about $99 (before tax) and the additional AC cut-out was about $50 (before tax). Once they took my order, the wait time was about one and half weeks for me. I also bought tape from there so I can secure it to the window. The staff are very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend it!

In December 2025 I visited Michaels in Issaquah and no prices were posted on the shelves. When I…read morebrought my basket of items to the counter to scan, the prices were exorbitant so I left with nothing. I don't know if this was due to understaffing or a transition to dynamic pricing, but it shows a distain for the customer. I'll avoid Michaels unless they start posting prices again.

The other night, an employee, I believe her name was Elliot, was very friendly. She went above and beyond to see if I needed any help. She was awesome.

This is easily the best model shop i've been to. It has a large selection of just about anything…read moreyou would need for modeling and is very well stocked. The prices here aren't bad at all either. The employees are very friendly too. In fact, the only reason why i rated 4 stars vs. 5 is because of the time in which you can shop here, being open for only 4hrs a day and closed Sunday-Monday. Other than that though, I absolutely loved this shop. I will most definitely come back in the near and far future for models and related products alike!

Came here on a rainy Sunday to see what it was all about. You can submit to PSA through them!…read more My main niche interest is in pokemon but they do have sports cards and other tcg cards. As I browsed inside someone was willing to answer a bunch of my beginner questions on grading, how I might go about the process and such and also gave me room to browse around when I thanked them for the info and said I wanted to just look around. The shop is pretty popular, there were about at least 7 people in there with me at all times. I bought a graded 1st gen pokemon card and did so without really price checking because I needed a slab of some sort for my own purposes. When I went home later and checked the prices on it, it was market price which was a pleasant feeling to know I didn't get ripped. Definitely would come back here to make purchases regarding tcg and to do any PSA submissions.

The selection could be a little larger; seems they take up a lot of their usable space with their car racing track which limits room for other items. Staff seems alert and eager to please. Parking is fairly easy as they are in a major shopping center, though they are located on a street that Redmond Town center closed off for pedestrian traffic (for pedestrian safety) so you have to walk about a block from the parking areas. Overall good store and glad to have them.

Quality/Quantity: Big beautiful store with a ton of really cool models. RCs, toys, figurines, etc. Value: I feel the pricing that I saw was very reasonable and in line with these types of products. I scored grabbing a transformer toy for $12.99 which was a great find. Overall: This was a great shop that I am so happy I found. Pro Tip: They have an indoor race track for RC cars (see video).

I was really looking forward to visiting East Side Trains because my son loves trains. His birthday…read moreis coming up, and I wanted to see which items grabbed his attention so I could plan something special. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. From the moment we walked in, the staff completely ignored us. No greeting, no acknowledgment, not even a glance. I watched them welcome and gladly assist every older white couple who came in, but we were treated like we did not belong there. It felt uncomfortable and honestly a little shocking. This is something my son and I truly enjoy together, and I spend thousands of dollars each year on Lionel VisionLine and MTH Premier Line pieces along with other premium train collectibles. I came in ready to support this store, but after the way we were treated, I will not be spending a single dollar here again. No one offered help the entire time we were looking around, and the only interaction we had was at checkout. I am sharing this because people should know what kind of experience they might have here. For me, it was unwelcoming and disappointing, and I will be taking my business to places that treat every customer with respect.

I am new customer for life. Hope this review helps someone out. Good luck on your next project.
