    Went in there today to grab some stuff and was blown away with how much inventory they have (every hobby you can think of) but I was there for my RC car. Staff was super friendly and helpful even though I have no clue what I'm talking about and asked a bunch of dumb questions so that's always nice..

    Stopped by PCH hobbie today to pickup my new scx24 which they pre ordered for me free of charge. They were quick to send a text once the shipment came in and I'm a happy camper. It's always a pleasure doing business with the guys at PCH hobbie. These guys are the best in the South Bay and I recommend for all your hobbie needs.

    Googled if there were any hobby stores near us and we came across Pacific Coast Hobbies. Called before heading that way, which was helpful. Upon arrival we're greeted right away. Hubby needed help with his RC Truck & Anthony knew just what we needed and helped us on the spot. As all adult hobbies go, they can get pretty expensive but luckily the part that we needed was on sale & After about 2 years of none use it's finally working. Thank You Anthony for helping us. Can't remember the young lady's name but she was very patient and helpful with our boys picking their mini model guns. It goes without saying that, we'll definitely be back soon.

    Been coming here for 20+ years . The owners are always accommodating, the current crew is all friendly and knowledgeable. Inventory for days . No real markup on prices so what you see online is pretty much what you'll pay here . A lot of cars, boats, etc in stock . Great show room to look and touch cars, see how things feel before purchasing . Great store to come and look at things . The managers are good people who won't syphon you out of every penny . I'd recommend this place to my family and friends if and when they're looking for hobby stuff ! Don't be afraid , this is a good place to shop and talk hobby !

    Just one of the many aisles that will captivate an enthusiast's attention.

    My son and I brought his broken Traxxas RC car here, and they patiently & generously helped him repair it, only charging us for the extra accessories he wanted to purchase. This is a gem of a hobby store, our only wish is they would open another location near us around Culver City or West LA.

    I came in on Christmas eve for the older model Green color Red Cat lowrider RC for my son and saw the price of $599, it seemed a bit steep so I came back after checking around prices at other stores and found the same exact car for $429. So I went back into Pacific Coast Hobbies on the 26th and ask if they price match. He asked some lady behind a second counter connected to the store and she Tried to charge me over $700 for a old model of green RedCat Lowrider, I showed them it was an older model and it was $599 (NOT ON SALE) a day before and I showed them Horizon hobbies has the same car for $429 ,almost a $300 difference. There was some lady that look like she knew nothing about RC cars trying to dictate prices and tried to justify the $300 mark up by saying "I think the Horizon hobby shop has a computer error" and she tried to juice the sale by saying "they don't make that color anymore". I said sarcastically "maybe they will make new models in green" and she reluctantly said "yes, probably" LMAO I laughed my ass off in the car, she thought Red Cat RC doesn't know how to use green paint anymore LOL So I left and ordered the car from Horizon Hobby and saved over $300!!! Do yourself and your wallet a favor and shop somewhere else. You will be glad you did! I know I am! Look below, they did not know I had taken pictures of the box and it's price on Christmas eve. I have added pictures so you can see they very sneaky changed the price to fool customers so they would be confused on older and newer models and cheat you by selling you the older model instead of the newer one! Pacific Coast Hobby should stick to coins and baseball cards....even then I would shop around, these folks will rip you off at the first chance they get. The only happy customers are the people that don't know they've been scammed.

I also had a few older alt arts that have stabilized a long time ago. I had the following cards: EXRP-011, EXRP 005 , GD01-0065 LR+, GD04-068 R+, GD04-102 U+, GD04-34 LR+, GD04 002 LR+, and GD04-066 LR+ Now going off of TcgPlayer (the industry standard) , lowest verified pricing, which is significantly lower than market price or last sold, my cards are valued at $260 dollars. I was offered 100 dollars, or 110 store credit , so 38% cash, or 42% store credit , absolutely abysmal and scammer behavior. Now I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt , and offer them a chance to make things right by offering 170 dollars cash, which is 65% of the value, a very fair price Otherwise this review with sources, times, pricing accurate to the day, will be a good warning to others, and I will continue to spread the word in numerous groups about their pricing and willingness to lowball! It is very important to note that the business owner was present ! And he was consulted on this buy in, so if you guys need any more references or details don't hesitate to reach out , I'll happily walk you through every card price and what i believe is a fair value in the industry

Glad to have HL at two South Bay locations currently. Another Elite yelper may have mentioned how the store layout is arranged by department category and is not numbered. Customer service is hit or miss. Most of the time, I have been on my own depending on which department. On the sales floor no one has approached me to offer assistance. The employees at the framing section have been helpful and efficient. Cashiers have been nice for the most part but their supervisors or leads did not give that same courteous vibe.

Since that time it has remained one of the best go-to spots for thrifting in the area. Of all the thrift shops in the South Bay, undoubtedly Savers never ceases to amaze. As can be expected, this thrift store offers all of the things you would expect to find: clothing, shoes, books, records, toys, kitchenware, electronic items, and pretty much everything else you can think of. Plus, they are constantly stocking new items, so every time you go in to this business you're guaranteed to see something new. I know a lot of people talk about the prices at this thrift store. For pretty much all of the items I find them to be very reasonable. In fact, you can truly find some one of a kind items for incredible prices. In terms of the clothing, yes, they are a bit high in their pricing compared to other thrift store chains. For some people, they may not want to spend $12.00 to $20.00 for say a used shirt. Though this is not always the case, a lot of their clothing is fairly expensive. This is just something to keep in mind if you haven't been here before. If you're going to be shopping for clothing at Savers, you've pretty much have got to expect to pay the top dollar for it in terms of the used market. This is a necessarily bad or good, and it isn't a criticism, it's just the way Savers operates. Overall, this is a truly good shop. I can't say enough about this place and the staff here are always super nice and friendly. Overall, it's one of my favorite places to thrift. You never know what you're going to find.
