I would post a photo of John but I forgot to ask his permission - maybe someone else can take his photo and get his permission. Knows a ton.

Scott has been in the RC business for decades and is/was professionally sponsored and knows his cars/setups. Todd and Kevin are equally as knowledgeable and have no problem talking to New comers and veterans alike, always offering sage advice and tips, even taking the time to really get to know you and foster a relationship. I'm an old school RC racer/hobbyist who was in it back in the Tamaya Frog and OG RC-10 days. I just recently decided to get back into it and this shop/staff has made it a no-stress and fun endeavour! On top of that they welcome young kids with open arms and have no problem with them hanging out and even racing their RC cars on the track! On top of it all they love the military and offer a military discount to show their appreciation. Truly a top notch small-business!

This store is bigger than the one in Lynwood and offers a larger inventory. I found nearly everything I needed. The manager is very knowledgeable and nice, so ask all your questions, as he doesn't make you feel like you're disturbing him. There was a lively atmosphere when I went on a Saturday, with lots of people playing, and a demo table for first-timers. That made the place feel welcoming and fun. It wasn't too crowded.

Every time I go in the selection of minis are always good sometimes they sell out of what I'm looking for but it's not the end of the world lol.

So I was glad I was able to check out this new store that opened up in the Tacoma Mall. There are lots of Asian, specifically Chinese brands of toys like Skullpanda and Dimoo but there are also some American characters here as well. Over all I was not too familiar with most of the characters, brands or merchandise however. I come I suppose from a different generation of toys with a heavy preference towards action figures which the merchandise isn't quite that as some of it comes across to me as frail or delicate so I imagine it is intended for display purposes only and perhaps even keep it still in the box. It's still a really cool store and there is all sorts of merch options to absorb despite getting the realization that I may have been "aged out" on some of this stuff by not knowing all of the references, books or origins of where some of this stuff is from. But despite that it's a cool place to go to check out what they have.
