Traxxas has been sold out of the TRX4 Sport High Trail edition for several months. I had been…read morelooking specifically for the blue version for a long time and had no success finding one available anywhere. I contacted more than 30 hobby shops within a 100 mile radius of Los Angeles. After weeks of searching, I finally found one at Mike's Hobbies. They had a brand new, factory sealed blue TRX4 Sport High Trail in stock and ready to ship, which was a huge relief. The pricing was exactly what Traxxas lists, with no markup or added fees. That alone was impressive given how hard this model has been to find. The ordering process was smooth and communication was clear and professional. Shipping was fast and the packaging was excellent. The truck arrived in a very sturdy box with plenty of bubble wrap and extra packing paper to protect everything inside. It was clear that real care was taken to make sure the item arrived safely and in perfect condition. Overall, my experience with Mike's Hobbies was extremely positive from start to finish. They delivered exactly what they promised and exceeded my expectations. I would confidently recommend Mike's Hobbies to anyone looking for hard to find RC vehicles or a reliable hobby shop that does things the right way.

I told the young man he was good and he checked me out, but his manager, the heavy girl with glasses, was terrible and so disrespectful. I dropped $1700 at her store, she didn't even say thank you

It used to feel like a chill hole in the wall full of cool people, now it feels very cold and depressing. The layout feels less intuitive to navigate, too but that's more of a nitpick. I used to play Digimon here between 2021 and 2023. They were generally fun and the players were mostly great, aside from the tourists who were only playing because they're mad at Magic and Pokemon, but that's not a conversation for a Yelp review about this store. My one complaint was how a lot of the employees were super elitist about it because it wasn't a popular "real" card game. Not even just saying that, an employee once straight up said I should "graduate to a real card game". I don't remember which employee it was, but the lack of self awareness of someone talking down to someone over TCGs astounds me. I remember two players having a ruling issue during a Digimon tourney and the same employee proctoring the games was very insulting and irritated the whole time, rolling his eyes, complaining and saying he didn't "understand this crap". It's bad enough that an employee does not know the rules of games they are proctoring at a game shop that's hosting the tournaments, but to have such a crappy demeanor? I know geeks are socially challenged, I'm not an exception to this but ffs try, it's your job man. Absolutely not something that makes you wanna come back. I briefly switched to SoCal Games and Comics (now Sanctum) after that, but my issue with that shop was the playerbase, not the employees. I've had some employees not know what they're doing regarding bonus packs that come with booster boxes before, and at least twice have had ones not given to me despite me visibly seeing them in stock. If you work at a game store you should know what releases come with what. That said, there was one employee who was excellent about it and props to him. That guy played Digimon, though, so that's likely why he knew what he was doing. Anyway, I still shop here from time to time but I don't really have a reason to come back now that they've stopped hosting Digimon tournaments in lieu of One Piece (Bandai treats the properties similarly!), which is fine considering the poor judging/proctoring. One Piece probably comes off more like a 'real' card game so best of luck and all. That event really left a bad taste in my mouth about this place, unfortunately. I will say the prices are good, they don't inflate them like other card shops do.

I went back to talk about the deal on a particular nscale train we had talked about today. The store has a great selection, bar none. I'm into L3 rockets, drones, etc as well... BUT.... here comes the part about customer service. The nice man I talked with last week was out and only appears to work on Mon, Wed and Friday. Today, (Thursday) the "whatever" manager that came to me was rude, acted like I was a bother. I said that I had talked to another person he was willing to make a deal. He then said MAP price only and abruptly turned around and walked away from me, not even giving me a chance to respond. I had cash and was willing to work the price to what he had, but never had the chance with his horrible attitude. If you are going to treat customers like this, you probably won't be around much longer. So now, I will endup getting the train on Ebay. Sadly, This is why people end up at Amazon and Ebay. You want to talk to a human and get treated like this. I was going to plug the shop on my youtube channel and also plug it in an upcoming magazine spot.., but.... Sorry, but that was a horrible way to treat a customer and won't be happening.

5/5 - Exceptional Experience at Sanctum Temecula Card Shop!…read more Sanctum Temecula is hands down one of the best local card shops I've visited. The atmosphere is welcoming, organized, and perfect for both collectors and casual players. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, whether you're talking about Warhammer, Pokémon cards, or One Piece TCG. I had a great personal experience shopping here--Rob and Dan was friendly, patient, and willing to answer questions or share insights about upcoming sets and events. The Warhammer selection is top-notch, with plenty of paints, minis, and supplies. Their One Piece card inventory is well-stocked and fairly priced, with a genuine focus on building community rather than just making sales. They have a limit of pokemon cards and make that for the younger generations to have. Whether you're looking to expand your collection, play in a tournament, or just hang out with fellow fans, Sanctum Temecula offers a positive and professional environment that makes you want to come back. Highly recommended for anyone who loves trading cards and tabletop gaming!

I rearranged my schedule and made time to come back based on what your staff told me. When I arrived today, I was told they still weren't out yet. When I asked if there was anything they could do since I was specifically instructed to come back at that time, the employee at the front basically acted indifferent and just said there was nothing they could do. I've been in retail for years, and entering inventory into a system is not some massive impossible task. This honestly came across as laziness and a complete lack of concern for customer satisfaction. Don't tell customers to come back at a specific time if you're not actually prepared to follow through. Traffic and gas prices in Southern California are terrible. People are spending real time and money to come support your business, so at least be considerate of that when making promises to customers. I understand inventory processing takes time, but communication and effort matter. A simple apology or attempt to help would have gone a long way. The store is large and packed with product, but there also weren't many customers there, which makes the lack of urgency even more frustrating. The owner should seriously consider improving management and customer service standards because experiences like this are exactly why customers stop coming back.
