We were pleasantly surprised to find the store is quite large and open and has a varied selection of goods. We spent a lot of time looking at Warhammer figurine sets and D&D figurines. We didn't look at the comics, but there was a medium sized collection. There was a spread of easy to moderate difficulty board games. Lots of dice :D Staff was friendly and not overbearing. There was a gaming area in the back, but I'd call about availability. We ended up buying a set of Nekron Destroyers to add to my collection.

So I've been visiting all the 'local' shops, which means a 30+ min drive to cities to San Jose, Livermore, Antioch. and Benicia. It was an early weekday AM drive to Benicia that brought me to RPP Hobby. I had emailed with the new owner, Nick Degnan, a few times; but wanted to check out his shop. As the new owner of RPP, Nick is renovating the new store space. It's definitely a work in progress, but I will keep visiting to ensure Nick and RPP succeed. Nick was very friendly and answered every question I threw at him. I ended up buying some parts for my Traxxas TRX-4; some had to be shipped and the process was painless. Look forward to visiting Nick and RPP again!

Michaels is a fantastic store. It is clean and everyone who works there is ridiculously nice and…read morehelpful. The sheer volume of cool stuff to decorate and to play with is overwhelming! The art supplies are well stocked and great variety. There is a ton of sections that have lots of supplies to do things that I really want to learn how to do. The baking section, for example, has all the cool stuff (and more) that you see and wondered about on the Great British Baking show and The Great Canadian Baking Show (which is actually better than the Great British Baking Show, but that is for another conversation, just watch it!) I come in mostly to get things framed. Their framing department is stellar - a great mix of prices and quality for their ready to go frames, and then they cut mats, and they also can put everything together for you at a very reasonable price and it always comes out beautiful and professional. But then I always wander around and just have so much fun with the seasonal decorations and all the crafty stuff. Let your imagination go wild! I am particularly fond of Michaels because I don't have to worry about my money going towards horrible things, like at the other new place in town. Michaels has no political agenda, its just fun and nice and I am always happy when I have visited. It would be really cool if they had classes to show you how to use some of the fun things they sell!

I really used to like this store. There is a good selection, some great sales, and I have never…read moreencountered an unfriendly employee. The regular prices are higher than Walmart but the product quality and selection are generally better as well so it balances out nicely. I went in today to get a small item and check out the selection on another category of item. Picked up what I went in for and spotted something that my daughter would love for her birthday. Then I got to the checkout. It appears that corporate really wants everyone to use the self checkout because you are only allowed to go through the regular checkout if you are paying with cash. I don't carry cash for many reasons and dislike having to ring up my own purchases. Until corporate gives up on forcing people to use self checkout I, unfortunately, will be shopping elsewhere.

Wonderful shop and exceptional customer service!…read more I stopped in after realizing I had forgotten my binoculars at home and noticed they carried them in the shop. Marilyn immediately got right to business. She didn't try to oversell me or push me toward something I didn't need--she simply listened to what I was looking for and helped me find a pair that worked for me. There was quite a selection to choose from and she really made this process seem easy and pleasant. It's obvious Marilyn knows her optics. I don't know if she's the owner or a partner, but she certainly knows how to take care of her customers. She was warm, welcoming, and, most importantly, patient. She took the time to help me even though it was a busy day. And yes, I should probably mention that I did end up buying a pair of binoculars--and I'm very happy with them! I also expected to pay a premium for what I purchased simply because of the location. To my surprise, when I got home to check reviews, I also found out there wasn't any crazy markup. There was none. I already felt like I had won by finding a quality product while traveling, only to discover I didn't have to pay the "tourist tax" for it. NICE! This tells me they're not exploiting their customers when they obviously could. Even if there had been a premium, Marilyn was such a genuinely friendly person that I wouldn't have thought twice about it. Great customer service goes a long way. And, not being completely selfish, we were also able to pick up a few things for our kiddo, who wasn't with us on the trip. There were so many interesting things to choose from that could keep a kid--or a young engineer--busy for quite a while. I would absolutely stop by this shop again and would recommend giving it a visit if you're in the area. Thank you, Marilyn! We really appreciate you!

They have a great selection and plenty to browse through, which makes the experience enjoyable for collectors of all levels. However, I was a little disappointed that I didn't see any single card boxes to dig through--only sealed blaster and hobby boxes behind the counter. It's possible I missed them, but from what I could tell, singles weren't readily available. The biggest concern for me was the pricing. As a newer collector, I was already a bit nervous about choosing the right boxes, and seeing some items marked significantly higher than retail made me hesitant to buy. For example, the most recent Topps NBA Holiday Box was priced at $60, even though we had just purchased the same box at GameStop for $35 and it's still widely available at that price. Since it doesn't seem to be a rare or hard-to-find product, the markup felt a little excessive. On the positive side, the customer service was genuinely great. The employee who helped us took the time to talk with us and seemed truly willing to assist with anything we needed. That part of the experience definitely stood out in a good way. Overall, while I appreciated the variety and the friendly service, the pricing made me hesitant to spend money during this visit. I may do a bit more research and give the shop another try in the future, but based on this first impression, I wasn't fully comfortable making a purchase yet.
