All the equipment is from top-notch manufacturers: Walthers, Atlas, Lionel, MTH, and many more. For other hobbies, they have a selection of model planes, ships, and cars. They even have models from movies: Star Trek, Star Wars, and all the figurine models from the classic horror shows. They also stock rpg materials, and a variety of paints, glues, and tools for every enthusiast. A decent selection of Estes rockets and kits, engine motors, and launch equipment round out the interests. In fact, every square inch of available space is utilized, without appearing cluttered or over-packed. Service was also top-notch, as the store assistants were well-versed on the tools, equipment and various hobby interests. Finally, the prices were good value for your money. And they have a thriving mail-order business, too! I will return in the future. Two thumbs up and five stars!

Overall I'd say completely disregard any negative reviews because when I mentioned the reviews he explained that the previous owners ran the poor shop into the ground and were super rude.

I think it was NASCAR and trucks going fast and loud with only a little bit of crashing. pretty sure the format is total laps over time and everyone has to run on each lane. crazy fast cuz it's wide open all the way and hopefully the car sticks except when it's supposed to slide. meanwhile on the flat track it's all practice practice practice.

I have 2 other children at home who I was purchasing for, but was not allowed to buy them. She was rude and disrespectful. I think the attitude of the employee is definitely what escalated things so quickly as I had just walked in the door and arrived. She had no customer service skills and was so focused on a policy that should not have applied to me. Even if she wanted to enforce a policy, she could've done that in a much kinder way.

I will NEVER! and I do mean NEVER recommend or spend another dollar at this place…read more I have been coming to the marketplace since a little after they opened. Normally the ladies and younger workers are smiling and always speak and tell you about the size of the place and how awesome it is. I walked in today and noticed several workers chatting behind the desk. I grabbed a shopping cart as I normally do because there is a boat load of good stuff and I always leave having spent a ton on great items. There's literally 3 floors and massive sq footage of everything under the sun. I spend hours here because I'm a true thrifty and I check out every station/booth, around 200 spaces I think. I'm very observant and always aware of my surroundings. I noticed the 1st man come from behind the desk as soon as I walked to the first booth. I've seen him there before. He wears a crossbody purse and glasses. I continue my normal walk and scan. I see him out the corner of my eye look me up and down. He walked into a few of the same booths as I and walked off. I rounded the corner and there he was pretending to filter through some sports cards. I kept browsing and scanning and noticed his stares. I walked up to the second floor to confirm if I was being paranoid and sure thing, he followed. I made eye contact a few times thinking ok,I'll give him benefit of doubt, other people were shopping and I kept minding my business. A 2nd guy starts to follow me, I've seen him before as well, he has a hunch back of ND walk, he looks like a teenager, obvious and sloppy. I purposely went into a few women clothing and jewelry and furniture booths and he followed, making eye contact and pretending to shop, all the while looking at me every few seconds. I walked in his direction and at this point I've decided I'm leaving. I pull out my phone to record for my safety and call my bestie to let her know what's going on. As I'm recording he stops in a booth next to me pulls out his phone to text or pretend and I say very loudly how uncomfortable I'm feeling with these mall cops following and profiling me. He heard me, then he picks up a random candle holder he had already passed and walks away. Most of the vendors have personal video cameras in their individual spaces to deter shoplifters. There are also cameras everywhere. Why are they following ME. It was OBVIOUS and because of how they made me feel in that moment, the only poc, being follwed, I left and will never go back. If you are a vendor here, they are making you loose business. I Do Not recommend black and brown people patronize this place. They do not want you here.
