This location is on the east side of Woodbine Avenue and pretty hard to miss. Recently my toddler…read morehas decided that some Ethernet cables in our router was made to be played with and she ended up snapping off the plug clip. After a search on Google I found Sayal electronic had the part I needed! Checked the website, saw there was stock and which aisle and the next day I had a plan in place. There was plenty of parking outside and when you first enter this location it is filled with a variety of odds and ends but all good stuff. I found a lot of stuff here that I don't usually see anywhere else, and to be honest I was shocked how well organized everything was. Honestly though it was an "organized mess". You can find things easily but just the sheer amount of odds and ends makes it visually busy. I digress I was in and out in 30 minutes though I found my part in 2 minutes. Spent extra time exploring. I recommend checking the website first to see if they have what your looking for then of course head on in to explore.

This isn't the first time I've walked into this store and have been treated poorly, but since I was…read morenear by and needed some rc parts. I walked in with my rc car to buy some parts. I kindly asked the store owner if he had or if he could order this part for me. With no hesitation, he strongly told me that he doesn't have the part for this car because he doesn't carry the brand. I was polite and told him that the part does not have to be the same brand as long as it fits! He insisted that its not possible and tried to beat around bushes by feeding me some BS that my servo shouldn't be where it is and because of that blah blah blah. I extremely do not appreciate being lied to or being taken advantage of. I'm curious why they don't want my business. Is it because I'm not the same ethnicity as them? I don't get why he had to lie to me and just deny my business.

I have been searching high and low for some hex adapters and finally found them at A& J Hobbies…read more We're talking a small $8 order. Arden (I hope I spelled it correctly), was very patient and helpful. Even though I live in the United States, he was willing to pack it up and ship it out to me. I have been looking for these adapters and could not find them anywhere so I am very happy that I was able to find them here so that I don't have to stop using my remote control car. I would suggest these guys to anybody.

These guys convey genuine interest and concern when I visit them in need of parts or service. I've also bought a R/C truck from there pleased to see that their price was just as good as the big box store I was originally planning on buying from which wasn't the case with other hobby shops I looked at.

Had a poor experience with this store. They sold me a defective deck box, and when I went to…read moreexchange it, they told me they couldn't do that since it had been opened. There would have been no way to know it was defective without opening it. Then they told me to "speak to Konami about that," knowing very well that's basically an impossible task. I would have spent much more money at the store, but they chose to scum me over $3. Would not recommend.

Years ago, I walked by the original location of George's Trains in Toronto all the time, always…read morejust looking in the window as they always had interesting displays. Fast forward 30 years... last week, I found myself in their Markham location with my son who is just starting out in his train hobby. Since we're new to trains, we have no idea what we're doing but the staff were very patient and kind to us. They were welcoming & friendly and didn't blow us off. They took the time to explain some key things to us (which are probably really simple to them, but again, we are clueless!). They also helped us figure out if our used parts would work and pointed us towards small but important items we would need to be successful. I felt like they really cared about starting a newbie out right. We can't thank the staff enough for their kindness. We arrived at their store completely "blank" and left with great knowledge and excitement. THANK YOU!

Great train store. Too bad it's so far away... Next time I'm in Toronto, though, I'll be there.read more

As an adult with disposable income, what better way to spend it than on Pokémon cards. Recently…read moreembarked on a journey to collect the master set for a new release (Scarlet & Violet 151) so we've been hopping around hobby stores in the area trying to collect them all. I'm new to this addiction, I mean, hobby. But even with my limited research, it's clear to see which of the shops had knowledgeable, passionate, and well-organized staff. The owner of Manta is one of those. He oozed with trading card knowledge and knew things from different releases off by heart. He knew his inventory like the back of his hand so that if we mentioned a card, he had an idea if they had it or not and found it for us. Thanks for helping us to find multiple fat Pikachus for our collection. Outside of Pokémon, Manta has a variety of TCG and collector items. I saw One Piece, Disney, YuGiOh, etc. There's also a sitting area which looks like a place where tournaments are held. You also know a shop is great when you have other shops recommending them, which is how we found Manta in the first place. They came highly recommended from another hobby hot spot of ours (Three Kingdoms).
