I got a Da Vinci Flying Pendulum Clock kit that I'm very excited to build! Owner is a nice elderly man who's pretty funny and knowledgeable. The spot is cash only so you're basically guaranteed to be wrung up in his vintage cash register. Totally a blast from the blast with lots of cool knick knacks. I highly recommended stopping by if you get a chance.

Now that's amazing service.

The front area is reserved for a series of games that you can buy. The back section is where you can play games that you either hit or they have games that you can play. The games - like the puzzles were pricey. The puzzles were $20+. To play it costs $10 per person and if you buy a game worth $20 then you do not need to pay the $10 fee. I like the space and the workers here seem great. They are very friendly and I can tell that they are very passionate about working here

Royal Collectibles is the gem of Forest Hills and perhaps Queens. It's a comicbook shop you want…read moreto be a part of. A shop where you know everybody's name and they're just as excited as you are when you talk about collectibles. The owner Mike is the all knowing comic guru, Bob the man you go to when you want to know what's hot and read-worthy, Diane who handles all the logistics and keeps the shop running, Michelle the Funko Queen, Tommy the master of wrestling and Dragonball, and finally Jordana their newest crew member. You walk in and you're immediately hit with a basement/attic air, the kind where there are thousands of books to sort through, statues of all kinds, toys from every era, and a knowledgeable staff waiting to share their passion. Their hours are still limited right now because of COVID so only 5 people are allowed at a time in store. They also do live sales on IG every Wednesday around 630pm EST of the week's newest releases and occasionally Funko and key issues. This is one of the local shops I come often, maybe 2-3 times a month and I spend an embarrassing amount of money here. But I'm happy to because we should support the local shops and people we love.

Cook's Arts & Crafts is definitely a rare gem in a city that is churning out chain after chain of…read morebig-name-stores. It's a family owned and operated shop that is brimming with all kinds of arts and craft supplies. They cater to all skill levels here, and even offer some great classes for different crafts (they update their website frequently). They are located right on Myrtle, by the expressway and several bus lines. It's a great area and more convenient to get to than I expected, even though there's no direct train. So I learned how to knit a plain rectangle about 10 years ago and had long since given up on ever learning to make anything beyond that - I couldn't read patterns, couldn't keep my knitting straight, and didn't understand why there were so many kinds of needles (where do they all go!?). I met and spoke with the owner of Cook's Arts & Crafts, Michelle, a couple of times before I went for it and asked for a lesson (check their website, lessons are very reasonably priced!). She was so fantastic, and talking to her inspired me to pick up knitting again. She took note of my budget and skill, quite accurately I might add. She looked at what materials I already owned and advised me on how I could proceed with that, never pressuring me to buy anything I didn't actually need. Michelle was a spectacular teacher- she was patient and showed everything to me slowly (because obviously I'm a slow person). She was also encouraging. Walking away, I really regret not doing it sooner! I'm looking forward to joining their social knitting meetups at the shop and around Queens- I really wish that more of these mom & pop shops were still around because you really cannot put a price tag on such stellar customer service.

Even if the coupon says "Use in store and online", I was told by an employee, they don't honor them in that particular store, unless you go to the cashier. since there is only one, you have to wait to use your coupon. I witnessed another customer try to get her 20% discount for applying to the Michael's credit card. After completing the entire process and getting approve, the cashier told her "We don't honor that policy at this location." Lastly, they don't properly label prices. Beads labeled at $8- $10 on the display ring up at $11- $14 at checkout. This didn't happen once, but the last 6 times I visited this store. it's disappointing that for this being the only arts and crafts store in the area, after putting smaller stores out of busines, that they operate like this. On google the price hikes are blaming inflation and tariffs but Michael's charges $21 dollars for Ranger ink pads, when they are $14 at Ranger's own website.
