One of the only two comic shops I ever go to. Because its closest to my house. Also, it's awesome…read more I've been patronizing this store for longer than I'd like to admit. I also have spent more than I care to tally. It's an amazingly large store that houses more than just comics. Figures, manga, graphic novels, etc. the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and for the most part patient with all my questions. I unfortunately enjoy indie print comics that are not a big enough draw to stock. So, I'm a pest lol

I found Lost Wonder of Worlds while searching for Pokémon cards for my cousin's birthday after…read morestriking out at a few other stores. Online showed they might have some in stock, so I called first. The gentlemen I spoke with on the phone was really nice and answered my questions, which made me feel confident enough to stop by in person. When I walked in, though, the in-store experience felt a bit different and on the emptier side. The two employees at the front didn't seem very welcoming and gave off a slightly annoyed vibe. When I asked about the Pokémon cards, they seemed confused about what I was referring to until I mentioned I had called earlier and spoken to someone. They checked with their coworker, who clarified which ones he had told me about. I asked to see the packs they had behind the counter, and the interaction still felt a little tense. That said, I was able to grab the two packs, which ended up being the perfect gift for my cousin, so mission accomplished. Overall, they had what I needed, and I appreciate that the phone service was helpful. I'd probably come back if I really needed something specific, and I'm curious to explore more of what they carry. Just hoping for a warmer in-store customer service experience next time.

Went there to buy a gift and they were great in helping me pick out the perfect car and showed me…read moretheir racetracks and explained all they have and different events. Excellent service and because we bought the car kit there we get a punch card for free racing and track time. They charged me the same I'd have paid online but getthe punch card so buying there is the way to go! Also great to support a local small business!. A++

Easy to rate this place 5 stars. I came here earlier today blindly just knowing that they rent R/C…read morecars to race on their indoor track i knew nothing else about it. I took my 9 year old nephew who is currently in a wheelchair for something fun to do during spring break. The lady at the counter (Sarah) who is also the manager is extremely friendly and helpful she explained how the rental process works and said it would be 30-40 min till it would be ready But we were able to look at the track, While we were there we talked to Matt? i believe who was just as helpful and friendly with everything. We left and came back a short time later to try his luck on the course. He did pretty well, but eventually the 1 R/C car broke, the lady was fine about it and said not to worry, we went back and watched the others race. We came back into the showroom to find the truck fixed and charged she asked if he was ready to go back out. so he did, a little while later the truck broke again but Kyle was quick to help fix the truck and get him back going, he played abit longer till the battery started to die and we called it a day. He had a ton of fun and is wanting a R/C car of his own now! Thanks again for the great day.

New Michael's store, only a few yards from its previous location! I inquired employees about the…read moreclose of the previous store and reopening of this one and they did not have any insight to why?! I stopped by this store for an in-store pick-up order and of course my eyes wanders the the 'SALE' areas for remaining Halloween decor at 70-80% off! Well I walked out with some crafty things for a great price and almost forgot my items to pick-up...where my visit took a turn. I received an email notifiaion that my order would be returned to the shelf/refunded if I did not pick up by the end of close. When I approached the shelves where pick up orders are located I couldn't locate my order. Upon speaking with an associate I was informed that my order was put back already because they have too many orders out. It was frustrating because I received a better deal online for the items I purchased. Note to self to pick up asap after ordering!

I would leave negative stars if I could. About a yeat ago I purchased a frame and had them frame a…read morepicture for me. They did a great job, looked good. 2 months ago the picture fell out of the matting. I toke it back and they said, no problem, no charge. They said a couple of days it will be done. 2weeks later - nothing. Went to the store and a girl who said she was filling in for the manager, (who got fired) said I will call you later today. 2 days later still nothing. Finally went in and it was done. Brought the frame home to re hang it. They moved the mounting brackets to the opposite end of the frame AND they were not even on the frame. I tried to hang the frame and it was on a 45 degree angle ! I will never go back there again,from now on I am going to Hobbly Lobby. I was told they do excellant work.
