    I've been going to rc headquarters since I was a kid and now I take my kids there and enjoy seeing…read morethe excitement it brings them. There isn't a more knowledgeable staff at any rc store in san antonio hands down. The selection of rc vehicles covers all types from planes, to boats, to cars, helicopters, drones, off-road trucks to crawlers. Best selection available in my opinion. I've bought atleast 20 vehicles from them and you can't beat the prices. Best value period

    Well, we wanted to patron this place, even bought an RC from them. But, they don't update their…read morewebsite calendar, so it's a crap-shoot on the weekends if you can free run or not. Today my son and I wasted 2 hours of drive time from Austin and back because RCHQ didn't take the time to list a huge mini-z event on their website calendar. Event calendars are useless unless they are updated. Lesson, call first or just don't go... we won't be going again. Also, they now cater ONLY to Mini-z racers on the weekend, which means you won't be able to run your mini-b or mini-t RCs like you use to (except on bad off days like Monday and Tuesday which is BS). They also sell rock crawlers and bashers, but no real support or place to practice or run them etc. So you are better off buying online for those types of RCs as you'll get better deals. Also, next to no crawler or basher parts, even for the RCs they sell. We'll just buy our Arrma Kraton parts online and not waste our time at RCHQ. We were there to run our mini-b and buy new tires, LiPo battery, and telemetry sensor for jumps. Now we'll just buy those online. My son was so disappointed when we got there that he didn't want to watch the mini-z competition or buy anything from them. He said 'f-this place!' which was my exact sentiment. Lastly, the bald guy behind the counter disparaged the very same RC we bought from that store. They had no problem selling us the Mini-b... but then diss it when we brought it back in-store. Not the best idea to retain customers or sell upgrades. If I ran my business like this, I'd be out of business. Rolling Oaks Mall is practically a dead-mall at this point, so I'm expecting the niche products, poor offering, bad location, and rudeness (pretentiousness) will end this store soon. We were willing to drive out-of-our-way to spend our money at their store, but now we are not. I'd suspect my overall advice on this is just not to bother. Buy online, make your own track or use a parking lot, and just don't waste your time. No value in their current offering and mode.

    Would not recommend this place to sell your legos, I brought over 10 pounds of legos 2 of those…read morepounds being minifigures which had really rare figures. I drove 40 mins to this place and they took 3 mins to look at my items to tell me they can give me 125 cash or 150 store credit... girl what?? I not only saved so much money to get those sets when I was younger but also hours building them. I didn't want to part ways with my lego collection because they hold memories for me but I needed the money and for them to offer me 125 was such a slap in the face man. I went to Krystal's Brick shop in rolling oaks mall and I got way more than brick n minifigs offered (and they have better prices there) bricks n minifigs is a cool store don't get me wrong but do better with sellers.

    There is a place where the Legos flow like wine and Captain Jack Sparrow can dance with Princess…read moreLeia in the pale moonlight. I never realized how many Lego Star Wars, Disney, DC and Marvel figurines there really are, but this place seems to have them all. For $7.99 you can fill up a small container with whatever pieces you desire from the Lego fill up station or go to the medium size for $16.99. Maybe that's not enough. You can go even bigger and leave with a large bag for 34.99 and have a Lego party. They also sell individual characters ranging from low to $30 for the more rare characters. They have a most impressive section of Star Wars sets and my favorite item on display was the Death Star from Return of the Jedi. Coming up for second place on esthetically pleasing would have to be the huge pirate ship and the Joker coaster looked like a fun build. We were greeted on arrival and asked if we needed any help finding anything in particular. We let him know we were just checking out Star Wars goodies and the like and he left us to our browsing as I like it. This is a great store to get lost in, and I will soon return.
