I have more 5 star reviews than any other rating and I blame Yelp for that...I use it to find the…read morebest places so I'm more likely to go to 5 star places. All that considered, this place is a solid 5 stars if not 6 because of its uniqueness. I've walked in here many times over the years but it was nothing more than passing boredom and exploring the town. The last time I visited I decided to really get into it. We rented a Mini-Z race car for 30 minutes for $10. The owner lady really gave us about 40-45 minutes which my 11 year old son really enjoyed. But before we even had a chance to race our car, one of the regulars gave him one of his cars to "break in the tires" just as you would real race car tires. He loved it! And then another regular let him drive one of his 4x4 trucks up the crawler table! They have a huge racetrack that takes up most of the space. This is specifically for min-z RWD cars and other RWD cars. They have a bunch of spots on the floor marked where you should stand to race your car. Each car has a transponder and they have a computer system that can time each cars laps and determine the winner, supposedly this is even webcasted on Friday nights when they have all the pro's come in and race for real. But on a Saturday it's just regular people and kids coming to play. I believe the limit is six cars at a time and I have no idea how they handle a waitlist. The crawler track sits on the end of the racetrack and it's for 4x4's. It's on a pulley system so they can lift it up and extend the racetrack on Friday nights. However, outside directly in the back they have yet another 4x4 crawler area. Both tracks present their own unique challenges. All in all this is an amazing activity to do with family or friends that doesn't involve drinking. Fuquay-Varina has around 50 breweries now and 100 bars, some pretending to be restaurants, as of 2025, so finding non-alcoholic activities is great for when you need a break from all the beer. I didn't know they sell Lego and it's pretty much the same price as what you'd see on Amazon or at Kohls, so why not shop local? They obviously sell a ton of RC items such as cars, 4x4s, boats, planes. They sell all the accessories for them down to different sets of rims. They have model car building kits and supplies. Tons of hobby related items. If Christmas hadn't just passed I would probably have walked out with a 4x4 or RWD race car...so you know for sure I'll be back. If you buy your cars here you can use the tracks forever for free which is a huge perk!

After being out of the Hobby Scene for 20 years, I stopped in here on a whim and met Otto and Anna…read more The embody the reason that I loved the RC Hobby community. Everything here is about the kids and the pure enjoyment of things. Ottos happiest helping you discover, make, build or invent whatever it is that you want to- and he's brutally honest about the product. He's going to tell you what his experience is, what's worked and what doesn't work. He points you to the right kits and the best bang for your buck- be that a scale 4wd crawler or a simple foam glider. He stocks the parts you'll need for kits he sells, and won't shy from sending you to a big box for something he can't stock at a reasonable price. Anna and Otto make this store feel like a home to all his guests. I think that's what their secret to success is. Come by, look around. They welcome all, and tirelessly answer questions. Great people. Great shop. Great prices. Great products.

They have it set up exactly like it was in the previous location. It was so weird like totally déjà vu. We are all painting minis for my husband's charity stream and I needed to pick out one. They had a really good selection to choose from and I found a really cool multi head snake character (yes, it has a name and NO, I don't remember and I am too lazy to get off the couch to look, honestly y'all). The staff were friendly and helped us get checked out quickly. My husband chatted with them about various geeky things and I feel like I had to drag him out of the store.

A large and clean game store for all your play needs…read more Atomic Empire is a game store for all physical gamers, be it trading cards, board games, wargames, or pen and paper games. They have a selection of games to try out and plenty of sitting space for you and your friends to test out and have a good time. They offer a wide variety of singles on their website. By buying them and picking it up in store, you save on shipping, giving them the selection of an online retailer with lower costs. Their prices are most comparable to TCGPlayer, minus delivery fees. Atomic Empire also carries a limited selection of comics and graphic novels, a nice to have for sure. They also sell plenty of gaming accessories from dice to paint to playmates to deck boxes. Unlike many game stores I've been to, Atomic Empire is pristine. High ceilings and proper ventilation provides constant fresh air. Bright lights and clean floors provides a welcoming atmosphere. It's a pleasure to take your time and browse a store that's so well maintained. Atomic Empire is excellent to game in or simply hang out at.

Uh....to a NEIGHBORHOOD... to a HOUSE? What???!!! So I double checked Google and flew over the preview route and well...took a friend. Because... Uh. I thought We were gonna need breadcrumbs. Across from the entry to a well known park...this place is truly truly a hidden gem of paper craft delight with some really lovely ladies to boot. I am a long time mixed media artist and have the bonafide stash to prove it and yet they had me drooling over products I didn't know existed. Stamps, markers, stickers, embellishments, inks oh my gawd the ink pad choices!!! Take THAT! Michaels. You got nothin' on these ladies. THIS is what I needed now that Joanne is gone. Real products used by real people who obviously love the craft. I absolutely was blown away with the variety of supplies in a small space. You do have to go through the garage and up the stairs for entry which feels really weird but roll with the vibe and the reward is a cacophony of cool crafting materials that are surely gonna stimulate your card and mixed media game.

The first time they sent me out the door with the connectors, cable, crimp tool, instructions, and a web site for tutorials. The next time they gathered up all the RJ25 connectors they had for my next project, building RJ25 cables for a robotics class. Finally on my recent trip there for my latest project they helped me find a substitute Jack for the RJ25 connectors. This not only allowed me to salvage a damaged robot. But now I have a flexible tool for troubleshooting and prototyping. Now they are my first stop whenever I am gathering materials for my projects.

They also recycle and reuse TONS of stuff from businesses that have turned over their 'fixtures'. Did you always secretly wish to have a 'Dockers' display rack? Now you can! Even if you do no own a business, this place has some 'interesting' furnishings at super cheap prices. You do have to hunt around, but it's got some cool cases, giant hot dogs with chalk boards, drink coolers.. Hey, maybe you have a collection of oakley sunglasses, you can find a fixture here to display them in STYLE! For the Roadside attraction geek - this place also has an IMPRESSIVE collection of mannequins. They are eerie, because they are all nude, staring at you, while lacking various anatomy. Some of them have interesting names given by the staff - male, female, old young, it's a strange sight. They have a sister store in Greensboro that is even bigger than the Raleigh one! *Note, they also BUY fixtures but don't expect to make bank. They are also cash and carry, they don't deliver much.

The doors are locked, nobody is answering my knocking and nobody ever answers the phone. It just rings and rings. No voicemail. Tried the toll free number, call cannot be completed. This is the third or fourth time this exact scenario has happened. However, when they are actually open, I find the selection amazing and the people very pleasant and helpful. I just wish they were open when they say they are.
