This year I am trying to really commit to shopping locally for things and I'm glad to find a place that has much of what I need for decent prices. I also always enjoy meeting folks who have knowledge, expertise and good salesmanship. Looking forward to returning for my next project's needs!

As a first time shopper for my aunt who enjoys this type of hobby, they had a variety of items such as military planes, tanks, battle ships, and subs too. I enjoyed the display of all of the models to look at as they had many types of cars, trucks and more. It felt personal as this is a privately own established business that I enjoy supporting and contributing too.

I took it home and when I assembled my model , it turned out one of the components was damaged (near the wires that were soldered) It cost $50 for a new one and they said that they weren't at fault and turned me down. No compensation... Pretty disappointed, as I don't really have a stable way to make money at 14...

Hey bud, if you don't like your job THEN LEAVE. Everytime i have gone in there even with my pregnant wife I feel uncomfortable. And i see the way other customers are treated. Customer service is garbage but for 1 guy making it worth the trip. The value and pricing of parts should be lower due to the weak a** customer service. I am not the first nor the last to have this issue. Let's keep the hobby alive! No reason to kill it with salty a** people. This is as far as I go out of respect to the owner. But do not expect a friendly experience with RC's here.

Apparently…read moreit's being sold (closing January 31, 2024) and searching for this store online shows a new name of Desert Games at the same address. When this store first opened, and for a couple years after, it had a great selection of board games. Almost two short aisles worth. There used to be a lot of titles to look at. They even had Kickstarters if I remember correctly, Just went in there the other day looking to buy, and walked out in less than three minutes. They have practically NO BOARD GAMES ANY MORE. They had a skinny, double-sided book case display with games, probably about 15 titles (and all small games at that) . Yep, that's it! The place has miniatures for skirmish like games coming out their ears if you're into that. I don't know what happened. Clearly their customers are not board gamers. If you're looking for board games then try the Walmart across the street. I guarantee they will have a superior selection. Better yet go to the Gaming Goat up in north Mesa or Athoria Games in Tempe.

What really stands out though is the people. Everyone there is super welcoming, easy to talk to, and actually wants to help. No weird vibes, no judgment, none of that standoffish energy you get at the store next door. Whether you're ripping boxes, buying singles, or just stopping in, they make it a good experience every time. Appreciate you guys -- 100% recommend.

By far the most overpriced card shop (for Pokemon at least) I have seen yet in the valley…read more Every time I go, their selection is exponentially higher priced than their competitors. Went today to try and give it an another shot since my buddy told me they have revamped it a bit, thought I would see what it's all about. Found a card I was a fan of for $18 and said "damaged". I checked it out, card was in great shape so I decided to purchase it. When looking around a bit more, the guy there came up to me and told me that the card was listed significantly underpriced and told me market was around $45 for the card. I told him since they marked it as $18, I was going to pay $18 for it and feel like they should charge that because that's what their price was, he stated that it's "up to me" what I will pay and I followed it up with since it's marked $18, I'm going to pay $18. He asked me if thats the absolute lowest I would pay, and I obviously said yes since that's what is on the sticker they put on the card. He told me he couldn't sell it for that price, and I decided not to buy the card and left - thus living into the same reason I decided to give up on this place and how they are still significantly higher priced that all the other shops in the valley. Don't waste your time or money here, literally eBay is the better option. Make the trip to Grail Collectibles or The Trading Card Place, worth the trip for sure. Even go next door to Monster, way better place to spend your money.

I have done business with a wide variety of suppliers and Reynolds is now my top choice for materials. They just know their stuff when it comes to making something. With casting materials and mold materials there are so many choices from so many suppliers it can be a challenge at times to find the right path to get the results you want. Laurie at Reynolds in Tempe just has it down where the guess work is at a real minimum. Not every project or job is a 1,2,3, to finish operation, so anything that takes out the error and saves you money is a bonus in my book and Reynolds does just that. Oh yeah, be ready to gawk for a while if you're a creator, because your choices and tools available at Reynolds far exceeds many of the suppliers I used while working in Hollywood.

The staff is fantastic. It was my first time in and they made me feel like a regular. No pressure felt at all. They have a great selection of graded and display cards, as well as a ton of boxes to look throw at a huge range of prices. Loved the vibe inside. Their prices were very fair IMO. People were coming in making trades and selling cards as well. Overall, I can't wait to come back again!

When you're talking about a card shop, I feel like there are a few areas to look at: service,…read moreselection, and overall vibe. Period. Trading Card Club is a relatively small location but comes in big when it comes to those three categories. The service is great. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and I never once got the sense I was being taken advantage of or was just another customer. They treat my son very well and seem to treat all their young clientele very friendly, which is obviously a key thing that brought us back. You should note that if the shop gets busy, there's limited staff--trading card shops can't have 20 people working the counters--so you may have to be patient. If patience isn't your game, trading cards might not be the right place for you to be anyway, but always enjoy the friendly attitudes and vibes this shop gives off. Whether you're hanging around, opening a box, or just browsing, it's always a chill experience. They also run events and promotions, so keep an eye out for that. And I would note: do your due diligence before bringing in things to sell, because they're not going to buy a giant box of worthless baseball cards, nor are they going to want to comb through 2,000 of your old grandfather's card collection. They will buy solid, valuable assets that they can resell effectively. It is a shop that will obviously give you store credit if desired, which will likely exceed the amount of cash you'll get, but the amount of times I've seen people bring in stuff that they just would never buy in a million years is plentiful. So if you're looking to sell a junk box of cards, I would try Facebook Marketplace and not this shop. Also--side bonus--they have a shop puppy that sometimes hangs out in the front.
