    Season S.

    Found this great hobbies shop when I was looking for an RC car for my son. Met Don, owner, and he was very friendly and helpful. He took the time to recommend a great first car for my son and he loves it. My daughter pretty much took my RC car and Don helped her customize it to make it her own. Their prices are great and customer service is even better. Thank you!

    I love love Hobby Lobby, but they have a manager there that needs some serious management training…read more She is going to get them a law suit if she does not correct her ways, she is always up front & her name starts with a "V". I heard her say some stupid stuff for a manager, just after the Covid scare, "where is everyone getting their money from", because a Mexican family was buying a lot decorations for a party!. On another occasion during the day & the lines were long", doesn't anyone work anymore!. Just yesterday I had a $45 order, all I had was a hundred on me, the cashier asked if I had something smaller, I did not, she called "V" over & she asked the same question, I said NO, sorry. She said I would end up with a bunch of $1's, I said no problem, she came back with like 50 $1's & some $5's - she told the cashier, the RULE is you have to use the $1's first. Well the cashier did not listen to her & gave me $5's. As I was walking out, I swear she went into a victory dance. (Not knowing I got $5's instead of $1's) I am contacting corporate - that was the final straw. Really "Rule", she sounded stupid, that's the RULE. Imagine a manger behaving that way.

    If you've ever thought about getting into Warhammer but felt nervous walking into a hobby shop --…read moreTHIS is the place to start. For years I wanted to dive into tabletop Warhammer, but I didn't have friends who played and I'm naturally a little shy in situations like that. It honestly took me a long time to finally walk through the door at the Thousand Oaks Games Workshop... and I'm so glad I did. The owner, Jordan, is truly one of the kindest and most welcoming people you'll meet. He clearly loves the hobby and genuinely cares about making sure everyone has a great experience, whether you're brand new or a longtime player. The store itself is fantastic. They have dedicated demo stations where you can: * learn how to play the game * learn how to paint your first miniatures That alone makes getting started way less intimidating. The selection is excellent too, including a full range of Citadel paints. And if there's ever something they don't have in stock, there's an in-store ordering station where you can get exactly what you need directly from Games Workshop. They also have two large terrain tables set up for hobby meetups and games, and there's clearly a strong community forming around the shop. Honestly, this place is special. If you're on the fence about starting Warhammer like I was, just stop in and say hello. Jordan and the team will have you hooked in no time. Highly recommend!

Nearly 20 years later...and spacemarine 2...Im back. To see an official Games Workshop close to where I live i had to come in. Boy does it bring me back. So about the store...the biggest and most important thing about GWS is the person who is there for you. Does he like what he does, is he passionate and the skills and knowledge behind that person. In comes Jordan. He is knowledgeable...he loves what he does. That man and his pure enthusiasm alone makes this shop. Everything else makes this place more than great. He helped me with picking the right paints and proceeded to help me an experienced painter with my technique. I can attest to going in and supporting him and this store. He is a rare breed of GWS staff everyone should at least come and visit the place and him.

    I have been a customer of Marty's Hobbies for over 10 years and can confidently say they are one of…read morethe best hobby shops in Southern California. They are always fully stocked with the largest RC cars and trucks and almost always have every color option available. The staff is knowledgeable and genuinely kind especially Dusten who is always a pleasure to work with. I also love that they rescued a cat who now freely roams the store and greets customers. Shopping at Marty's is never just a purchase it is an experience.

    To preface this review does not represent what I felt from the establishment as a whole…read more I'm simply expressing what I felt from an individual employee. Dustin or Justin (I couldn't tell from the non enthusiastic mumbled tone). "Helped" me out today. As a new RC enthusiast, I thought I would be greeted with a warm welcome, as I read on countless review's before. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Dustin (Justin?) brushed off my questions and gave a cold shoulder overall. *I bought a $200 rc from the store and still received a cold departure. I'm not asking for much, but what I do ask for is decent customer service. I know $200 may not be a lot to most people, but it is to me and the customer service or rather lack of ,turned me off from coming back to this establishment. I can only hope that management will hire more warm and welcoming employees to further encourage people to enjoy this hobby and not feel judged or incompetent. TLDR: Cold and unwelcoming experience. I didn't feel good about the money I spent here, due to the lack of support/ bad attitude from the cashier. (DUSTIN OR JUSTIN). To management: Please consider this review, thank you!
