From most card shops I've been to, this would be my least favorite. What threw me off was this box…read moreof bulk on the counter, I had asked one of the workers if I could look through it, he said yes. After 30 minutes of looking through the box, I was about to finalize what I wanted, but then a different worker came up to me and said he was still looking through the cards. Out of consideration, I apologized and told him he could quickly look through the cards I was interested in. He then took about 80% of card from my stack for himself. Honestly, it felt extremely scummy and inconsiderate. Taking advantage of my politeness and leaving me with maybe 7 out of the 30 I had originally wanted. I understand that they'd want to look through the bulk before letting their customers to see, but I was told that I was allowed to look through the bulk?? And on top of that, they don't price the cards in their binders and go by tcgplayer pricing, which makes it difficult to determine what cards are worth buying. And their bulk is extremely disorganized. I had asked if they had any vintage pokemon cards and they told me there might be SOME in the 5 bigass boxes of bulk they had laid out. I had asked if they would ever organize the bulk, but they never gave me a clear answer, leaving me a bit peeved. They take the more valuable and prettier cards for themselves. Go to a different card shop that's better organized and fair.

I thought it might be a little early, but my wife urged us to at least give it a try. I found this establishment on Yelp and headed there after work. The location is a near the 101 offramp, in industrial center, generally used for Mechanics and small shops. It was not too hard to find and there seems to be ample parking. Once i walked inside, there were 100s of built kits in a display, which is very cool to look at. I believe the owner, greeted me and asked if it was my first time. I answered "yes" and asked for recommendation for my son. He recommended for a Pokemon Kit or and SD kit as they were easy to build and would be a good start. Once i walked into the main area, there was a plethora of kits available. Lots of Gundam and other anime figures were available. I ended up deciding on Rising Freedom Gundam SD Kit for my son as it looked fairly straight forward. For myself i decided to get a RG Kit, which looks like more detailed than the kits i built during my high school days. Once i was ready, i spoke to the owner on the cost and it was lower than what i would have purchased online and we had a short chat. Overall i really enjoyed looking around and having nostalgia of looking at some of the Gundams from when i was younger. P.S. My son was able to build the kit. Took a little bit of help for stickers and helping him follow the instructions but it went pretty well.

Another week later, I called the store and was told the shipment still hadn't arrived and to order through their website. I went to their website specified the details of my order with notes to rush it to me once it comes in. I was ready to pay and even drive there to pounce on the hard-to-find pre-order kit to surprise my son. With great anticipation, we waited and waited and didn't hear a pip from Tatsu. Christmas came and went. New Year came and left. No news or any form of communication from Tatsu. In between, I called several times and was to the same thing, order from their so-called skimpy amateurish elementary website. Three years later, I have still not gotten any response from Tatsu. It was a massive disappointment, no doubt. I felt like a failure to my kid. This is a very belated gripe, which I need to award Tatsu.

I am a returning customer after years away from TCGs and I have been a frequent visitor since I lost my job in November 2024. I discovered Lorcana and Star Wars Unlimited back in October and started collecting in November. I visited GKSC looking for Star Wars Unlimited and Lorcana. Jim and Dylan were instrumental in reentering the TCG world and reigniting my love of collecting and playing TCGs. I frequent GKSC a few days a week for Star Wars Unlimited, I meet up with newly made friends on Wednesdays for some Lorcana and Commander and recently, celebrated May 4th be with you with a Twin Suns event. The Staff is welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and the more I visited the more I get to know the staff and have made GKSC my second home or home away from home. Rachelle and Jim runs an amazing store. Mario, Dylan, Willy, Brandan and Jack are all great people with amazing customer service and while allowing me to hang out at the store on my free time, never made me feel unwelcomed and are great people to get to know and talk shop with or just have a great conversation. If you're looking for a local game store to support, GK should be the top of your list, its mine. Brendon, Great job running the twin suns event on Sunday!!

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!
