The guys took the time to answer all my questions, give great recommendations, and make sure I found exactly what I was looking for. The selection is absolutely amazing. They have a huge variety of RC vehicles across so many categories -- cars, trucks, airplanes, boats, and much more. Their Traxxas selection in particular is impressive, with tons of different models, parts, and accessories to choose from. Whether you're just getting into the hobby or you've been into RC for years, there's a lot to see here. I was about to catch a flight after visiting the store, and the team went above and beyond to help me carefully pack everything I bought so I could travel with it. I ended up leaving with a Kyosho Mini-Z and two SCX30s! Amazing selection, outstanding service, and a team that genuinely enjoys the hobby and helping customers. I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm in San Antonio. Highly recommended!

Unlike other hobby shops they will help you repair your r/c cars and take the time to explain how to troubleshoot, - something you don't get by ordering online or even with other hobby shops around town.

This place is SO COOL!!…read more My fiancé and I love stopping by regularly to see what's new in store. The guys here are the absolute coolest and have been so helpful, and the amount of awesome merch crammed into this place is INSANE. From board games and their accessories to giant superhero statues, they have it all. We've purchased almost all of our comic books here, several Pokémon and One Piece cards/packs, plushies, and a few figures from them. Their layaway plan is super reasonable and made it possible for us to bring home one of our largest figures, J. Scott Campbell's Alice, to date. I HIGHLY recommend this place if you haven't already visited. This place is an experience, and I'd be absolutely shocked if you can't find what you're looking for.

I opted for a class to help me jump back in to my long lost hobby. Suzy teaches 12pm-2pm and invites us to bring any questions or projects we need help with. She was a delight to meet and helped me remember things I had forgotten from projects I had left unfinished as well as start a new HAT with a new wool yarn that I bought at the store. Cathy helped me at the counter and was so very welcoming and kind. She invited me to wait in their sitting area which is super cozy. I was surrounded by example projects and even a knitting "bowl-stand-table" that was hand made wood from a local wood crafter. I included it in my photo of the sofa area. It is so pretty. I'm satisfied with my class today and have knowledge to finish what I had started and a new project on my circular needles Thanks Suzy and Cathy for your help today. I look forward to visiting again. ~LindaD
