Review # 893. What a…read moregreat little store located near the Florida Mall. I heard that they sell parade gloves here at this location so I went in in search of them. Parade gloves are the white gloves used by honor guards. I went in there and was immediately greeted by a gentleman, sorry I did not get his name. He went right into asking what I was looking for, and fulfilling my needs. This is what you call customer service. I mentioned to him what I was looking for, he found some for me, and informed me that they come in different sizes. This was really good news because I have large hands. I located my gloves, they only had one pair, so I bought it. He did mention to check back with him in a week or so to see if they have been replenished. I was also very impressed by the enormous selection of military pins and medals that are available for purchase. I did locate a pin with an American flag on one side, and a Cuban flag on the other. Because of my Cuban heritage, I will proudly wear this pen. I saw a lot of military medals, and the medal bars that a lot of military use on their uniforms. I guess this is something you need to replenish, because they do wear out. I also had the opportunity to walk around, I noticed that they sell patent leather shoes, that's on my list also. I didn't buy these here because I wear a triple E width and the manufacturer that they carry does not make them that width. All in all it was a great experience, lots to look at.

Since then, I have been in here countless times and have always had nothing but a fantastic experience. Prices are competitive and the service was knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend here.

This is very unreliable, and shows they don't intend to actually run a business. Happily I went to a more reliable competitor, that is light years better at everything they do. In hindsight I should have just gone to the other place from the start.

I've wanted to come for a while, but never found the time till today. I came in looking for holiday decorations. An apple pie for my thanksgiving table set, Easter decorations for my Spring set and so on. I found a few of the bits I was looking for. A pumpkin pie instead. A duckling and rabbit for spring. Orange and black wrapped presents that would be perfect under the Christmas tree. I'm very happy with the items I found! It's such a cute shop, I'll have to go back!

I haven't…read moreplayed 40k in almost 10 years, but my five year old son started asking about some models I had on display so I broke out my whole Ultramarine army to show off for him. While looking through all the cool pictures in the codex he was super pumped about the ultramarine bike squad. I thought it would be fun to pick up the model set and build it together, so we headed out to Games Workshop at the Winter Park Village. We were immediately greeted by Josh. Josh possesses an immense game knowledge, as well as an awesome personality. The reason I am writing this review though, I had my five year old with me and Josh immediately engaged with him and invited him to build and paint a model. Josh walked him through the entire model, showed him everything! It was amazing. In conclusion, thank you, Josh! You're a solid dude.

We will be back.

This red beauty is a beginner's RC helicopter. I call her Red Fandango :) You walk in and you can't get your eyes off the remote control model planes that are hanging from the ceiling. I was really taken back by the amount of model aircrafts Bob carries. From state of the art jets to war plane replicas, they have hobbies to meet every budget. My heli was about $49 and my boyfriend purchased a higher-end for about $129. A week later, we're still flying our toys just about every day for kicks. The best experience was their customer service. David and the rest of the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell this is their hobby as well since they take time to answer every question and provide a wealth of information. I had zero knowledge and didn't want to spend too much and David pointed out the perfect beginner's heli. When it's time to upgrade, I will definitely give them my business again.

If you need a propeller for an RC plane and this shop doesn't have one it must not be made. But, I was hoping they'd have plastic models, which they do, but it looked like the usual stuff you see at a Hobbytown or Hobby Lobby so that was disappointing. Good selection of parts, wood and paint and building supplies. Looked like the staff was taking care of customers pretty well.

Today, we visited because Tim needed a very specific green paint. After looking for awhile, I found it and it was a good price. The only downside is sometimes the paint prices are way higher that what you will get online (a difference of $5-10$), so we will check forst, and if we can get the same paint for $6, it'll be like $17 here. Which is kinda weird to me because the store is so big, and always pretty active, so it doesn't make sense to have such a significant difference in price. That's my only issue. otherwise, the place is clean, the customer service reps are all very knowledgeable and helpful, and you can expect to have a friendly conversation regarding your purchases. We left satisfied and we always come back!

I had toys that I wanted to sell, so I tried this place to see if they would sell my toys for cash…read more I called them before determining if I should commute there. When I was on the phone with the customer serivce representative he did not give me an assertive answer on if they take trade toys for cash. Instead his answer was "I only collect toys that are like in the box". After having that uncooperative call I decided to drive down there the next day. When I arrived the customer service representative told me the wholesaler will be with you in a few minutes. While I was waiting I had to go to the bathroom. I asked this customer serivce representative where the bathroom was. His reponse was "he( the wholesaler) will be with you in a few minutes". After not getting a reponse from him I decided to go back to the warehouse section since the bathroom is apparetly not in the shop area. Once I went back there he said "don't go back to the warehouse". I then said "I have to go to the bathroom". He then responded "we don't have one open to the public". After that he told me the wholesaler is not here and pointed at me to leave. WTF they don't a have bathroom for the general public? What are people who have small bladders or take laxatives(I don't take them) that are kickin in suppose to do? After leaving the store I then go to the place nextdoor, which is a place a male would only walk into if he is being accompanied by his girlfriend or getting her a dress. I thought about asking the receptionist how often people come in here just to use the bathroom, but I instead just proceeded to the bathroom without asking her that question. If you are a geek for toys you probably would like this place very much. For that reason I am giving this place one star, but the customer service zero stars. Oh! And thank goodness I was not in the mood to be a male karen there.

"There arent any card shops in Orlando!" THIS IS IT GUYS!!!…read more I looooove this place. I come after school from UCF every chance I get since it's right down the road. The workers are always more than eager to help and will give great recommendations if you ask. I usually just come for Pokemon cards, which they have a ton of selections for! But they have tons and tons of other card selections, board games and a huge area to sit down and play if that's your thing! Im pretty sure theres a beverage area in the back too! (Will update with pics next time i go in) And pro tip from a worker: dont be scared to pick up some Japanese packs for Pokemon! Theyre way cheaper than American and the quality is a lot more likely to be Mint than anything. Take your kids or your nerdy boyfriend here for a good experience.
