Good selection although I was misinformed the gentleman in the counter said the $80 kit was the same as $140 dollar kit claiming it was just a "German box" which was false the other one came with a stand a 2 separate engines.

Suggestion for the store: I'd love to see Code Geass, Attack on Titan, and Final Fantasy figures added, pretty please.

While on the hunt for some particular shade of Bernat Blanket yarn, I thought that either this…read morestore, or the Camarillo one, would have a larger selection than in Moorpark. Dear Hubby and I were out at Ventura Harbor on a Sunday to beat the inland heat. It was an easy drive to swing by this location while heading in the general direction of home. I hadn't been to this location in a while. The visit proved to be a better experience than one of the previous time which I wrote about in another posting. The store was in good condition - stocked and clean. The yarn department is slightly larger than I remember. Since Joann's went out of business last year, it offered more opportunity for Michael's to step it up for the knitters and crocheters to have a bigger selection to choose from locally. I do try to support local businesses, versus ordering online. I was able to pick out several shades of my favorite yarn to purchase that day. Unfortunately, they weren't on sale. I had a coupon for one item at 30% off full price, so that helped. Also, apparently I look like a senior to anyone under 25 (well, I am, but still . . .), as the cashier applied a senior discount without being asked. All told, the price came out a little higher than I had hoped, but within an acceptable amount. Like many things that don't originate in the USA, tariff prices have affected yarn. What used to be $10 or $11 a skein is now $14. Ouch. This store, like many, have added self-checkout kiosks. I don't like them. I'd much rather interact with a human associate, and help save their jobs. Also, I had a couple of questions that a computer couldn't answer. As such, I had to wait in line longer to be able to speak with said associate. I'd say at a store that promotes creativity, forcing patrons to use the kiosks kills off some of the pleasure of thinking about creative endeavors. Speaking of creativity, I forgot to take any photos this time. They were starting to heavily feature Halloween and fall merchandise. Some of the 'ween decorations were interesting.

For parking, it's best to head down Telephone and turn into the lot where you see Lamps Plus and Office Depot. (If you find yourself facing Ross, Lakeshore is completely on the opposite end of the lot.) REVIEW: It's OK. I mean, it's fine enough. If you need something in a pinch (instead of waiting for USPS delivery). The staff are friendly enough, too. It's just the prices. AND, especially now it's even worse. :( The store is quite large and I have noticed that their inventory is usually very well stocked. They carry a great variety of inventory too. I would recommend Lakeshore for any educational needs you may have.
