Used to go there quite often to get anime figures and cards and was quite nervous moving to Tucson, until I walked into Otaku Nation. My first visit was last week, but within one week, I have visited 5 times and brought over 5 other individuals that have the same passion I have. The first day I walked in, I was greeted by the owner. It is not every store that the owner puts what he is doing down, stands up, to greet you, and ask you what you're looking for. Jeremy ( sorry if I spelled it wrong), proceeded to develop a personal relationship with me and that is the community we need to encourage. Everyday that I have gone to this store, I have walked away with something. I'm hoping we can make this small shop into something bigger, a community that drives and supports each other. I was able to get my first Digimon TCG box here for a steal compared to what other places are marking them up for. The reason for the low pricse was probably reinforced by the idea of building a group of people that will entertain playing Digimon in this store rather than making a profit. For some of these wonderful core values that this owner has, I will come by week after week to promote this store. Thank you Otaku Nation.

They hold product and spots at events for people who show up to locals. I had to pay extra for a set of op 13 and the cashier said "come to locals and we can give you a discount". I then explained my situation and she replied. "Oh...". I've talked with the owner about what I can do and he is dismissive and unapologetic. The girls who work there are nice but the manager doesn't seem to care about new customers. I finally got off early for the OP17 pre release event, which I signed up for, and was told to leave because the event was full. He mentioned the TCG page had bugged and there was also a lottery I was not aware of. "Try again next time" is an answer I'm quite tired of hearing from their manager. Love the premise of the store and that they give the community a place to play, just wish I could join.

Amazing Discoveries - Tucson Location…read more I've been a long-time customer of Amazing Discoveries in Tucson and have supported this store for years. What happened during my most recent visit was so unacceptable that I feel obligated to share it publicly. I went in to pick up an online order and the interaction escalated into one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. Multiple employees were rude and dismissive, including Eric Molt (store manager), Colton Stevens, and Josh Olson. The store manager, Eric Molt, refused to provide his name, snatched paper out of my hands twice, and escalated the situation instead of resolving it. Outside the store, he confronted me, got in my face, and used racist and derogatory language toward me. No customer should ever be subjected to that kind of behavior. I reported the incident to the district manager, Jonas Sosa, who acknowledged the seriousness of what happened and said an investigation would be conducted. After that, I sent several follow-up emails asking for an update. I never received any response from anyone at Amazing Discoveries -- not management, not ownership, not the district office. I was told that the owners, Dustin Ochoa and Florence Dei Ochoa, were made aware of the situation. In addition, all of their stores were notified about what happened. Despite that, nothing was done and no one ever contacted me. After giving more than enough time for a response, I can only conclude that ownership is choosing not to address this incident. Based on their silence and inaction, it appears they condone racist, aggressive, and unprofessional behavior from their management and staff. I will not be returning to this store, and I believe the community deserves to know what happened.

I do not often go to Hobby lobby and one is fairly close to my house. This was my first visit to…read morethe location on Oracle Road. I decided to check out the store, while waiting for an appointment down the street. I was really surprised they put out fall things and it seemed like a third of the store had been cleared away and recently well stocked with fall colors, pumpkin themed objects for the kitchen and for parties. I don't go they're all that often, but it seemed like there was either Christmas or fall things and anything for the summer was nearly gone. There were 2-3 aisles of picked over summer things on clearance for 66% off and all the fall things that look like they just put it out. It's quite overwhelming every time I go to Hobby Lobby. There is just so much to see. I find myself having a hard time, figuring out where things are and customers line up to check out. I didn't really see any staff walking around the store to help. I did pick up some craft thing items that I think that they carry all the time however, after a few minutes, I just wanted to get out of the store and I skedaddled. It did appear that almost everything in the store was discounted significantly, so nothing was the price on the package. It does make one feel like they're getting a deal.

How do they support so many employees to work there at a time? I mean, there's an army there. When they aren't helping customers, which they thrive on, there are so many employees there that when they aren't helping someone, they are in groups of three or four having a good time. Morale must be pretty high. You will always find someone to help you navigate the store or give you assistance with advice on your project. Unlike some big box hardware stores where you need a hunting license to find an employee. I love the vibe here. And of course, true to Ace Hardwares, there's more than hardware and tools, albeit that they have a great inventory of both. They have Hot Wheels and Matchboxes. Models, trains, RC vehicles, and all sorts of stuff in their Hobby Store. They have a great selection of candy that you can't find anywhere else. They have a great bottled soda inventory of various flavors and brands. Shoot. Even when I can't find what I'm looking for in this store, a rare occasion, I always walk out with some candy and a couple of bottles of pop. And around 12 different brands of gourmet popcorn. Hey, you want the best popcorn? Get one of the Whirly Pop poppers there, priced at a really decent price. It's an adventure just exploring the store. Go have some fun! 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

The selection is solid and thoughtfully laid out, and while it may not be the biggest or most extensive collectible shop in town, there's still plenty here to get excited about.
