This is probably my favorite card shop in the Central Valley. I've had multiple experiences here…read moreincluding a recent one where I had an order that I made last year that I couldn't pick up and when I finally was able to about a week ago, they still had it prepared to give to me and found it right away! They also offer pretty well for trades and not to mention, the staff and the owner are very fun to talk to about just about anything gaming or Pokemon. I highly recommend this place as they not only have great customer service, they have a lot to choose from in terms of Pokemon, MTG & even retro video games. Will definitely shop here again!

I never write reviews but thought the community should know. I've been into Pokémon cards for quite…read morea while, so I was excited to take my girlfriend's kids to this shop for their very first pack-opening experience. Unfortunately, the visit was disappointing from the moment we arrived. The storefront looked boarded up with wood covering much of the exterior, and it was so dark inside that I honestly couldn't tell if the store was open. Once inside, my girlfriend's son politely asked the employee behind the counter how much a pack cost. The employee responded with, "I can guarantee it's more than you have in your wallet." I was shocked by how rude and dismissive that was, especially toward a kid. That's not the kind of welcome I would expect from an employee. I then told him I wanted to purchase three Prismatic Evolutions packs. He looked at me and said, with an attitude, "You know they're like $20 each, right?" I told him that was fine, but the interaction left a bad impression. What should have been a fun and memorable experience for the kids turned into an uncomfortable one because of the poor customer service. I spent $100 on 6 packs of cards and i was going to buy more cards but didn't want to give them anymore business. I won't be shopping here again and cannot recommend this store based on my experience.

Very happy with the "Jeep" ducking items they had in stock…read more They have an entire wall of iron-on patches that I needed for my MIL. The floor employees were helpful when I asked questions.

Employees out in other parts of the store... some are smiling some aren't. The ones that have a look on their face like they don't want to be there will put on a fake smile when you ask for help. There are a handful that are always smiling and always ask if they can help you as you walk around and they see you. Pretty well stocked for general items. Seasonal item areas on this visit were empty shelves on aisles as they switch to holiday items from summer outdoor items. Prices are comparable to other craft stores, not always the cheapest. Since all items are price lsticker label tagged, the prices can vary on the same item. So check through the packages or items, there might be a lower price tag. Cashiers need to either memorize what's on sale or check their sales list, so I've noticed i don't always get the sale price. Always check your receipts. Location is convinient for when I'm running errands at the mall, but it's not always my go to craft store. Store is always clean as well as having clean restrooms. You need a pass code to use the bathrooms.

I was there for quite some time and never saw anyone. It is a small shop, so I figured they were doing other things. The items are limited (no kamen rider or super sentai items). It had plenty of model kits, and the tools actually have notes made by the store to show what the item is good for. Overall, it's a nice small store. It definitely not much compared to their bigger store. If you want model kits and small anime figures, this store has it.

I've been to the store in San Mateo many times and I finally made it to the big store! Note that…read morethe location is a bit odd - it's in an industrial park and signage is very minimal and easy to miss. Google Maps led us to the back of the store so you may need to go around. The store is pretty large and has a lot of keychains, plushies, figurines, Gundam Gunpla, and blind boxes (my kryptonite). I got a Nendoroid blind box (!) of Fate Stay Night. These figures are way more expensive than normal blind boxes but Nendoroids are always very high quality so it's fine! I saw a lot of figures that were really cool and I would consider getting them if I had a good display mechanism at my house haha. They even had MY BOY Heero Yuy from Gundam Wing which is quite rare to see merchandise of!

This is a hidden gem tucked away in a business and industrial park. The staff is incredibly…read morefriendly and knowledgeable, and the store carries almost everything you could need for scale modeling, from model kits to a wide variety of tools and accessories. The only exception is paint, which may need to be specially ordered. If you're looking for high-quality figure models or collectible statues, you'll find some very reasonable prices here. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who loves model building, collectible figures, or creating and painting their own character statues. 這是一家被隱藏在一個公司和工業園區的寶藏模型店，裡面的人服務非常好，不管是模型還是製作模型的相關工具，這家店應有盡有，唯獨在漆料上面，店家需要額外預定。不過要是說到精緻的人體公仔和手辦，這裡的價格非常實惠，強力推薦給喜歡模型公仔和喜歡自己創作人形手辦的愛好者。

Rude people who do not want to be interrupted from stocking and sorting work at this location…read more This location was clearly short staffed, and on the day of our visit I was told the restrooms were closed and not open to the public. So don't bother to ask because you might not like how you might be treated for having the audacity to interrupt someone with such a mundane question. You might feel like someone turned the hands of time back and you were living in pre 1965 America, when certain groups of people felt entitled to (and got away with) talking down to "other" groups of people. I found the store to be a bit disorganized and some of the aisles were too cluttered to walk through. The prices are what I expected, but the terrible customer service and lack of restroom access cut our visit and our spending short. Although I made contact with their corporate office concerning my unfortunate interpersonal experience with a specific staff member at this location, and the corporate office responded with understanding, kindness, an explanation of how they were gong to correct things, and a gift card, I will never set foot in this particular location again, ever. In fact, it will be a long time before I shop at Michaels again, if at all.
