Because he could only figure this out after attempting to install the parts, he could not return any of these products. Coming here is a waste of money. Stupidity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. I'm glad my dad finally wised up and started going to Tacoma RC raceway. They cooperate with him and willingly assist in fixing and replacing parts. He was told there that if they order the wrong part, financially that is their burden and not his.

I happened to be having a lunch at the Mexican restaurant next door and chose to walk into this business after I finished my lunch just because they were there. I've eaten at the restaurant next door many times and I've never thought about going into this toy store in the past. They have a lot of fun things in the store. Probably something for everyone in basic kinds of games. I settled on a puzzles as well as a Trivia game. They had a really good special going on where you could buy a puzzle and get 1 for 50% off. However, I didn't take advantage of that because I just wanted the one puzzle. The store had quite a few shoppers in, and was a bit congested. Good for the business, and expected this time of year. But, I actually was in-and-out of the store so fast that I did not spend enough time to assess all of their offerings in order to have made a really good judgment. I'm very happy they were there to support my last minute Christmas game shopping need for my family and friends.

When my 3 year old and I entered the store, we were asked what we were looking for. I said we were…read moreChristmas shopping. There was a small table with a stool next to a tower of cars. My son immediately was drawn to the cars and put a few on the table to look at them. I was looking around the store at things I could buy my son and also for anything that might delight my husband. The woman working, went over and started snatching the cars from the table my child was at. He had placed six cars on the table top. I came back over and told my son to help put the cars back and that he could only look at one at a time. I sat in the adult chair at the table and asked him which car he liked the best. (I was going to buy him one along with a Playmobil Pirates set.) The woman came back and asked if we were ready to leave. She had a horrible attitude and said that children are not welcome AT ALL TOY STORE. I cannot imagine a worse attitude for retail, let alone being a toy store so unwelcoming and rude to children. We left immediately without purchasing what we had planned to buy and as I was buckling my son into his car seat, the woman (she was older with a bad blonde dye job) had the audacity to stand at the door of the shop scowling. Never again.

Just had a bizarre experience here after being a customer here for years. I started at the Tacoma…read morelocation looking for stretcher bars by the master series in 24, 36, 30, and 40s. Tacoma was out but the sweet sales associates offered to order or call Seattle. I overheard them on the phone confirming various sizes. So I thanked them & drove up to Seattle. I noticed the Seattle location didn't have the sizes I was told, I asked the guy in charge of frames/ stretchers and he claimed I asked for one size then showed me a different brand from what was confirmed over the phone, a heavy duty variety. When I expressed frustration of being told the wrong thing, he walked off pouting, didn't offer to order any for me like Tacoma did. Not wanting to leave empty handed I grabbed a couple off sizes so I can work. On my way to check out, I informed my friend of what just occured and placed the stretchers at the register. The clerk said "You need to check out over there, Sir." My flabbers were gasted! My monocle popped out! I said "Sir? I'm not a sir!". This was strange and shocking to me. So I went to the proper clerk saying "They just called me Sir. What part of me gives man? I've never been called a man." So yeah I'm mad confused as to why my petite, adorable self in pink & lilac got called a man by someone who would not appreciate being misgendered themselves.... On Pride weekend of all times. And why wasn't I offered to have the supplies ordered for me like in Tacoma? Basically I received a wild goose chase, a bad attitude, lied to about what I overheard confirmed on the phone, and casually misgendered by Seattle staff. Very sad since I prefer supporting local. The Tacoma shop is a vibe with kind, helpful staff. I'll stick with them and Jerry's Art a Rama online. Apparently several reviews report bad behavior from staff over the past year or so. Don't need the funky ahh attitude when I just wanna create.

Avalon Comics and Games is now Kitsap Comics and Games. I had an arrangement with the previous…read moreowner to bring in my comic books to sell today. I didn't know that the business had changed hands, and I showed up with my heavy boxes of comic books that I had heaved into my car to bring there. The new owner wasn't interested in buying any more comics, but he honored the previous owner's arrangement, and bought my comic books from me anyway. I told him that I understood and that I wasn't angry, but he came in early just to look over my comic books and buy them in order to honor an agreement that wasn't even his. While he was looking them over, I looked around the store, and they have a nice selection of comics and memorabilia. It's definitely worth a visit.

Meh. Used to have a…read morehalf dozen short boxes of Silver and Bronze Age books at the counter, haven't seen them for 3 years. A handful of slabbed modern "keys" and variants behind the counter - occasionally an actual key, but overpriced. New comic racks guarantee nothing better than a 9.4. No bags and boards for new comics, and to remove a book, you have to bend it. Last time I was there, there were aisles of loose new books, mostly modern variants and stuff that hasn't sold. Lots of toys and figures, if you're into that. Good selection of old filler Copper books for your runs in the back issue bins. Maybe worth a peek once a year, maybe if they moved out of the mall, they could lower their prices and give the new issue racks 2" of vertical space to preclude getting new books in VF/NM.

He took time to talk with me and answer my questions and was very friendly and knowledgeable. I really appreciated his tips and advice.

I like Michael's and while my mom and I were doing acrylic painting together one day, we went…read moreshopping to buy more canvas and paint. She lives in the boondocks so we came here. They had a lot of neon acrylic paint but didn't have much to choose from in regular colors; a lot of the skus were sold out. When we were checking out, we went to separate registers as the store was busy. I found out after we left we had different experiences at checkout. While the cashier that helped my mom was really nice to her and even went out of her way to have someone get some push pins for her, the cashier helping me was the total opposite. I've been receiving coupons from Michael's via email for years. When I told the cashier I had a coupon and started to look for it on my phone, she told me they don't send coupons out to customers that way. I said yes, they do and asked her to wait until I got the coupon up on my phone to scan it. She then told me the total and asked me to pay without waiting for the coupon. I then saw my mom waiting for me so I paid and left. I won't be coming back here.
