On occasion, they will have their giant inflated Pikachu right out in front of the little shopping center area, so you can't miss it when that happens. What do they sell here? Kind of a little bit of everything really. There's toys, plushies, video games, models, figures, and of course Pokemon cards along with other stuff. Lots of fun stuff for all, and for all ages too as they have quite a bit of retro stuff floating around here. The place does remind me quite a bit of the kind of set-up I would see in Japan and stuff, where display cases are all over, with stuff just sprawled out inside of them for people to look and peruse over. There really aren't too many of these places like this anywhere nowadays. Good nostalgia just from that perspective. Makes it fun. How is the pricing of everything? Actually reasonable for most things I saw here. There were some things that seemed to be fairly overpriced, but it was mainly for the rarer stuff which is understandable, but still pretty far over the market price elsewhere (online and such). But the general stuff sold here were all fair enough for a physical store. The service here, I actually didn't really interact with them much. While I was walking around the store I did hear customers converse with the staff and it seemed friendly enough, so I assume it's fine. They seemed eager to help when people walked up to the counter-adjacent areas, so there's that. Though I didn't walk out with anything the first time I visited the place, finally, I certainly almost wanted to grab something quite a few times as I was making my way through there. Will definitely be back at some point later.

I was there for quite some time and never saw anyone. It is a small shop, so I figured they were doing other things. The items are limited (no kamen rider or super sentai items). It had plenty of model kits, and the tools actually have notes made by the store to show what the item is good for. Overall, it's a nice small store. It definitely not much compared to their bigger store. If you want model kits and small anime figures, this store has it.

Came here today with my boyfriend and a bunch of his friends…read more First off, there's finally a Japanese model kit shop near me which I'm stoked about. They have loads of gundams which albeit aren't my thing, but they also have loads of cute plushies to which I bought Kero/Keroberos from Card Captor Sakura. Pretty decently priced. Some stuff is more expensive, some stuff is par for the course and some stuff is cheap compared to other places. Just depends on what you're looking for. I will say I'm a fan of the Zoids models they have. I do hope they get some Pokémon models in stock as well as digimon models since I tend to love building those but given this a new sister branch from Toys Logic, I'll give it some time for them to stock things. But I'd definitely suggest stocking other models aside from Gundam. My boyfriend loves gundam models so it works out for him and his friends. This place is also good for miscellaneous Pokémon plushies and cups/t-shirts as well as model kit tools and paint.

He conversed with me for a bit . He was so helpful and so kind and reassured me that I was choosing good florals. (I came alone) he congratulated me on my wedding, and his reassurance did honestly help me choose my flowers. To him it may have not seemed like a big deal, but that interaction meant a whole lot. His kindness was deeply appreciated today.

This experience was disappointing enough that I felt compelled to share it…read more On a Saturday evening around 6:50 p.m., I stopped by Hobby Lobby with my 4-year-old daughter and my elderly mother-in-law. We were preparing for an upcoming funeral, and I needed help with an expensive gold frame I had purchased from Hobby Lobby. One of the corners had separated, and I wanted to know whether the framing department could repair or reinforce it. Because the frame was large and heavy, I left it in my trunk until I confirmed that someone could help. My mother-in-law waited nearby so she could rest while my daughter accompanied me to the framing counter. I approached the employee working in the framing department and asked if he could assist me. His first response was, "I'm off in six minutes - what do you need?" The tone immediately caught me off guard. As I began explaining that the corner of the frame had broken apart and needed reinforcement, he interrupted me and said, "Stop. Just hurry up and tell me what you need." I was surprised because I was simply trying to explain the issue so he could determine whether it was something the framing department could fix. I told him the frame was needed for a funeral and asked if it could be repaired. Instead of addressing my question, he asked why my husband couldn't fix it. I explained that my husband is currently deployed, so he wasn't available to help, and that while I would try to repair it myself if necessary, I also work full-time. His response was simply, "So do I." At that point, it was clear that helping me was not a priority. What made the interaction even more upsetting was that my 4-year-old daughter asked afterward, "Mommy, why was that man so mean? Why didn't he want to help us?" Hearing that from my child was heartbreaking. I told her that maybe he was having a difficult day because I wanted her to understand that we should still try to show kindness to others. I shared my experience with the manager, who told me that this employee often tells others how important it is to be friendly with customers. Unfortunately, that was not reflected in the interaction we experienced. Thankfully, we went to Ace Hardware afterward, where an employee immediately took the time to help us. He recommended reinforcing the frame with small metal corner brackets, nails, and gold spray paint. His advice worked perfectly, and we were able to save the frame in time for the funeral. This review isn't about expecting perfection. Everyone has stressful days. It's about the importance of treating people with basic courtesy and respect, especially when they may already be going through a difficult time. A little kindness can make all the difference. Unfortunately, that was missing from our experience at Hobby Lobby.

She's having a blast looking at all the kids cards and chatting. I counted around 30 kids at one point, with probably over half from her elementary school. Staff is very friendly and helpful too, and there are tables for adults playing games too. Wish I had brought something else to do though, next time I'll bring my Steam Deck.

It's located in a shopping plaza so parking is free and readily available, with several options for food nearby. The store has a lot of room for tables for board games, tcg, and there are even tables for war games. They have a pretty good inventory of games, wargame product, and tcg. I first came here for a Lorcana TCG league, but quickly learned how the store is on pricing things. I only played for 1 season, because of the pricing. The materials we received were always priced higher than if you just bought them outright. I haven't looked much into other games, but I've heard they price things very high. This was also the hub for when I got into beyblade, but after a few months, we learned that new management didn't want us hosting events there anymore in place of another game. It was fun when I first got there, but over time, the store didn't really support the games I played, so it didn't feel very welcoming after a while. Your mileage may vary depending on your game.
