I'm going to start by saying that RC is not my interest so I can't speak that part of the store…read more My interest is scale model kits and Xtreme carries model kits that you can't find anywhere else in this area. I know Hobby Lobby sells models and has a 40% off sale every 3 weeks but it's mostly the same kits on the shelf and they phased out Tamiya products which I enjoy using and building. Tamiya, besides RC, is one of the top companies when it comes to scale models and this store carries their kits and paint and if there is something from Tamiya you want, they will be happy to get it for you. So, I am in agreement with Jeff W. of Hanahan, don't bother with reading the negative reviews. I have been in the store many times and have not had any bad experiences and it's my opinion that the negative reviews do not accurately reflect this business.

Cool store, they have a little bit of everything for most hobbyists. My only complaint is that if…read moreyou're into N scale model trains, they don't have much of a selection, but if you're into HO scale, they've got you covered. I know that HO is the most popular, but there are also a lot of N scale enthusiasts too. Please carry more N scale items!

I was in there today and not a single person asked if i needed help. They dont carry nothing but…read moretraxxas and arma parts. They are more worried about racing then helping the customer. The store reeked of weed and the parts guy was so high all he cared about is the music playing. They don't have any crawler parts, no accessories for scale trucks. The customer service is horrible, Parts and Ready to run trucks were very limited. the staff only knew about drag and carpet racing cars. The race track is very well taken care of, to bad the rest of the store is some shit!

We came here on a recent Friday for our son to compete in a gaming night they host. The store was…read morechocked full of SO many games. These are not what you see on the shelves at your local Target or Wal-Mart. These are a much more unique collection! You'll find a lot of fantasy and role-playing board games here. Many crossovers with sci-fi tv shows and cartoons like Firefly or Rick and Morty. They don't really stock word playing stuff like Scrabble or Bananagrams or classic games like Chinese checkers or Life. There is also a very large comic book section of the store. It was all a bit overwhelming but in a good way! This would be a great place to get a unique gift for someone who loves board games. The dedicated gaming room was massive and full of tables and chairs. The other players there were quite kind to our son. The Green Dragon staff guided and explained everything so he felt comfortable. He was a good deal younger than everyone else so as a parent I really appreciated the generosity of the players and staff. We will absolutely be back!

We drove to this store from Mt. Pleasant so a specific DnD book could be purchased. We wanted,…read moreespecially in current times, to support a small, local business instead over a large, national chain store (where we could have very easily obtained the book with much less driving.) While this type of store is not something I personally would seek out (full disclosure: I went because my partner wanted to), I was immediately hooked when I walked in. I loved the stickers and signs I saw on the windows and door before even walking in. I was ecstatic to see the store highlighting the work of Black/African-American comic-book writers and characters at the front of the store. The game and book options were seemingly endless, even for someone like me who doesn't know a whole lot. And, prior to driving out there, we called just to make sure the certain books were in stock. An employee answered the phone, well before store open, and kindly checked the store in order to best answer our question(s). Both prior to entering and even while in there, the customer service was great. Under normal circumstances, I think I would rate this store a 5/5. I struggle to write this review without mentioning safety cautions, which are important for me at this time for myriad reasons. I've debated whether I should mention these things in these types of reviews (maybe that's a conversation for a different time), and I'm willing to remove or edit when it is no longer relevant. However, what bothered me, a lot, actually, was the lack of social distancing precautions taking place within the store. No employees were wearing masks and only half of the customers in the main area of the store were wearing masks. The store still had their separate section (a room that is attached, but separated from the main store) operating for game time, and at least 10 young adults (~20s) were there eating snacks and playing games. While I only quickly peeked inside (before realizing it wasn't part of the store), I saw only one person sitting at a table playing games wearing a thin mask. As a health scientist and health-cautious individual, this bothersome to me for various reasons, with one of them being my comfortability with leaving the house, especially for non essential items, is not high. When I do go somewhere, however, I expect and hope that places are at least follow minimum recommended CDC guidelines. Because they were totally lacking at Green Dragon this weekend, my partner and I purchased his book and quickly left as fast as possible. We talked about this the entire car ride home - wondering why this was the case? Why aren't the employees concerned for themselves? Or their customers? How should I rate the review because of it?Perhaps most disappointedly, we discussed how under other circumstances, we would have been in that store for at LEAST an hour, and probably longer, looking and likely purchasing way too many games and books for ourselves, our family, and friends. Because this is so important to me, I've decided to rate 3 stars and cut the difference, while being fully transparent in explaining my reasoning. My initial reaction was to rate 1 star altogether because of this, frankly because I find it so unacceptable and astonishing, but I want to try my best to also be balanced and fair, to a degree, realizing that if we all weren't facing these unprecedented times, my impression of the place wouldn't be close to what it is. My plan is that following the pandemic, I hope to return. When I do, I am certain I will change my review to 4 or 5 stars.
