The staff has always taken the time to greet me as I walk in, take a look at my RC car and help me figure out what's wrong and tell me exactly what I need to do or in some cases even show me what to do. I've had such a positive experience every time I've been here! They recently (June 2024) added some fun tracks in the back for customers to use! You can also rent the cars to use back there if you don't have your own. A suspended obstacle course, a drift track and a couple other tracks. If you are into rc cars, or have someone in the family who is, this is definitely a place for you to try out!

I've been out of model trains and slot cars for about 10 years now so I can't really gauge how good the prices were.

The lady took me aside and explained the variety of cars and prices as well as explained what was what, while the man went with my son and his dad to look at the options.

He began talking about upgrading the motor immediately (an additional $100+) and the sales lady talked about being able to do that later. The sales people were knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly plus kept us in budget. Will definitely be returning.

The staff at the rental counter and the cafe were the friendliest and gave excellent recommendations in games. The games they have for sale cover many popular choices but also lesser known games. They also sell gaming accessories such as D100 dice!!! Oh my! The cafe even has a 3D printed dice tower if you want to choose the fate of your food order. lol! There is limited alcohol here and the food is mostly snacks, but they do have sliders and chicken tenders, pop, liquid death, a couple of canned alcoholic drinks. For a whopping $12 I spent on food, I got to try 4 games, and.....it was karaoke night and we sang songs with random strangers in the specially reservable room they had. You could select the songs on the machine or through an app. They could use a little more variety in the song list that have but a lot of the popular suns are there. I can't wait to go back and try some more games. Parking was street parking and a little challenging but there are side streets too with street parking. The store itself had super modern and clean look, games well displayed, and nice and air conditioned on a warm day. Even the bathrooms have some hygiene products and are unisex! Oh yeah did I mention that are open late. 1am on a Friday night. I would seriously recommend this place to anyone!

There is a large parking lot in front of the store, which is convenient because the neighborhood tends to be pretty busy. And the parking enforcement can be quite unforgiving in the area.

Oh, Wheels Dealer, how you have my heart…read more I came in here on a mission to find a specific car and spent hours just enjoying looking through the loads of cars (and I'm not much of a car person). It's located in a car dealership filled with some of the most kind-hearted people. Seriously, what's in their coffee? Every single person who worked around here was so genuinely kind. It's accessible and easy to find a parking spot upfront. When you walk in, you'll be greeted by Coco, the bird. Don't be alarmed when they go from "hi darling" to a screech while you're digging in the store. The owner, Randy, was a joy. He had a Hot Wheels holiday sweater on and was like a Hot Wheels elf running around. Every question, he answered. He was also extremely knowledgeable about those special cars you are looking for and had like radar sensors to find them. This is definitely a collector's heaven, but if you're like me and want to buy some specific Hot Wheels for some specific kids to shove up their noses or whatever, this is also the place for you. There were several bins filled with used Hot Wheels to dig through and pick out. I was able to get a full construction site out of Hot Wheels! Prices are extremely fair, and the owner also helps you find things in your price bracket. There was no problem when I changed my mind or switched a new Hot Wheel for a used one. He let me just dig around and have a blast. I recommend this place for families, for sure. As for collectors, there were a few collectors who were here while I dug around, and they said this is the spot to go to. So if you're a collector, definitely give this place a look. Not to mention, the collectors here were so incredibly kind and generous with answering more questions I had and sharing the love of Hot Wheels with others.

What I expected to be another simple evening of trading card negotiations ended up being pretty…read moredisappointing. I've supported this shop for a long time, and they've supported my passion for the Pokémon TCG. I can literally see cards I once traded in sitting in their binders and display cases. But reflecting on my most recent visit, there are two issues that really stand out. 1. Trade-In and Cash Value Are Low The percentages they offer for both cash and trade are noticeably lower than other shops. A competitor priced the same cards roughly 30% higher--the only reason I didn't go with them that day was because their cash flow was low and they couldn't pay out at the time. That discrepancy alone is frustrating. 2. Staffing & Negotiation Have Become Inconsistent In the past, staff have always treated me respectfully. They weren't rude this time either, but historically they've been fair with negotiation--occasionally offering a small discount or working closer to market value. This time, that didn't happen. They insisted on giving "market value" for just one card and then even less percentage for the rest. I asked for around 40%, and we eventually agreed on a deal involving a $10 card. But at the last minute, I was pressured into dropping the deal by another ~5% "so everyone's happy." The truth is, I wasn't -- especially considering I was already accepting a lower percentage just to make the deal work. If I'm a regular customer, I don't expect special treatment, but I do expect fair negotiation. I wasn't even met in the middle at 35% on a $220 value. Bottom Line: If you're looking for a solid selection of cards and okay pricing, this shop is fine. But if you're interested in selling or trading, I'd strongly recommend going elsewhere. Unfortunately, the stereotype about some hobby shops being cut-throat with trade-ins feels pretty accurate here.

Let me just say I love this Hobby Lobby store! I had never even heard of this chain before but…read morewhile at Clackamas promenade running errands since all of Multnomah County is still in Pandemic lockdown, I walked past this store and being a crafter, had to check it out. I was not disappointed! The store is quite large and filled with items in so many categories. There are silk plants and flowers and a myriad if vessels. Planters and vases. Fir the artist, there are colored pencils, markers, paints, brushes, easels and canvas. In the back are frames if many styles and sizes plus you can custom frame your art. I always like perusing the seasonal section of craft stores and Hobby Lobby has a huge area dedicated to all things summer. Vibrant colored melamine dishes and serving pieces for your patio or garden. Plastic glasses, serving trays, bbq tools and so much more! Lots if fun and whimsical items too. I picked up a pack colorful 5" toothpicks perfect for appetizer platters during these pandemic times. Also grabbed some whimsical dish towels. Lots and lots of modern country and an entire aisle filled with every kind of lantirn and style you can imagine. They also carry a vast assortment of outdoor cushions and pillows made with sun protected fabrics for your patio and garden. The pillows came in so many vibrant colors, patterns and even shapes. I fell in love with a rattan pillow with 2 parrots on the front. Darn, if only it matched my décor. I was able to find a navy blue and white geometric pillow perfect for the Chase on my balcony I was pleasantly surprised to find so many home décor items. They were organized throughout the store on kiosks by style. For beachy and cozy cottage décor; modern farmhiuse; mid century modern; teen decor; and even an entire display of every kind of pink flamingo one would want - if pink flamingos are your thing!!! Passing the shelves loaded with glass vases, I noticed a short round vase with a silver band around the top, the perfect mid century modern vase for fresh flowers, perfect for style. Even better since it was on sale for $4.99! It immediately went into my shopping basket. So for a random first time visit into this store, I ended up with an assortment of items that I never knew I needed, but absolutely had to have. Will definitely keep this store in mind any time I'm in the Clackamas area. It is always worth a run through.

Yesterday I had a deeply upsetting experience at the Clackamas Hobby Lobby.My husband dropped me…read moreoff while he ran to Costco nearby. I came in for seed beads and was carrying a small canvas tote purchased from this Hobby Lobby years ago, which I used as my shopping basket. Since COVID, I've regularly used reusable shopping bags while shopping instead of a basket, a common habit that has never been an issue at this store or any other.Within minutes, a large man began watching me closely, staring intently in my direction. As I wasn't doing anything suspicious or unusual, I continued shopping for beads, wandered through the party decor aisle for ideas for a baby shower I'm hosting next month, looked at floral materials for fall wreaths, and then seasonal decor, placing items in my tote just as I would a shopping basket. Eventually, I exceeded its capacity and picked up a hand basket from the front of the store.As I shopped, the man continued following me, staying nearby and narrating my movements over the phone. Throughout this experience I was never sure whether he actually worked there or was just another shopper with no boundaries. While waiting for my husband to return in the seasonal decor aisle we'd planned to look at together, I overheard the man say he had video of me and that someone should be waiting outside when I left. He'd been talking loudly about my movements for some time, but at that moment there was no more rationalizing it as my imagination. The comment about video took it from unsettling to unsafe. I took his photo too, as I felt openly threatened. When I confronted him, he loudly claimed he had watched me fill my "purse" with merchandise and ordered me to leave the store.For clarity, I was carrying a canvas shopping tote to hold my items in the store and a small crossbody sling bag was my actual purse. I'm posting a photo of the tote and the approximately $45 worth of items I selected so people can judge for themselves. Nothing about my shopping behavior was secretive.Thankfully, my husband arrived during the confrontation and witnessed the interaction.I was so upset that I left the store and went to the truck while he paid for the items I had selected. He wanted me to abandon them, but after all of this I couldn't bear to leave without my trinkets.Afterward, my husband spoke with co-manager Alyssa, who said I had been concealing merchandise in my purse but declined to discuss the situation further because she had not witnessed the incident. The plainclothes security officer refused to provide me his name but later told my husband it was Chris Kelly. My husband tried to explain that this was a training opportunity, but neither seemed receptive.Notably, the uniformed Clackamas Promenade security officer at the front of the store, whom I had spoken with earlier while retrieving a hand basket, apologized to me during the confrontation. While I was attempting to explain what had happened, and my husband was trying to calmly lower the temperature of the conversation, the plainclothes man continued loudly arguing that I had "concealed merchandise" and that "it's a private business." The contrast was striking: the only person who appeared concerned about how I was being treated was not the person accusing me.What bothers me most is not that a misunderstanding may have occurred. It's how it was handled. I was followed for nearly an hour, publicly accused of theft, and treated like a criminal without anyone first attempting a respectful conversation.As a woman shopping alone, the experience was especially unsettling. Being intensely monitored for nearly an hour by a large man felt intimidating and creepy. I was never sure whether he actually worked for the store. By the end of the encounter, I wasn't just humiliated by a false accusation, I genuinely felt unsafe.Despite everything, my husband and I still purchased the approximately $45 in merchandise I had selected. Looking back, I wish we hadn't.This experience ensured I will never shop at this store again. The plainclothes security officer immediately escalated the situation, showed no recognition that he may have misunderstood what he was seeing, and lacked the judgment and professionalism expected in that role. Only the uniformed security officer remained calm and showed concern for how I was being treated.Women shopping alone should be aware of the possibility of this kind of treatment at the Clackamas Hobby Lobby.
