Well, I went there to take a look at the model cars. But let me get something out of the way right now for HOT WHEELS collectors. There is a tiny section for Hot Wheels, mostly mainlines. THE PRICES for the mainlines are ridiculous. Some were about $9.99 for a "whatever" car and some were about $14! That's insane. I'm not going to pay eBay prices for in-store purchases. Anyway, let's continue.

They do have a lot of models. I say, roughly about half the store is diecast models. I saw Greenlight, Mini GT, Johnny Lighting, M2 Machines, and so on. They didn't have a lot of every brand, but they had a little bit of everything, considering this isn't specifically a diecast store. They had action figures, kid guns, and other stuff that wasn't of my interest. However, they had a huge Chucky doll that I liked. They had a lot of Fast and Furious stuff, which makes sense since that's what's popular.

They did have some cool Nissan cars that I'm sure many people will drool over, as I was. I didn't buy them because, although I drooled looking at them, I don't collect those. I collect mostly exotic cars. They had them in different scales. They offer all the common scaled cars.

Overall, with exception of the high priced Hot Wheels mainlines, I would recommend this store if you want a way better selection of models compared to the big department type stores. You'll definitely find and see some...

They were out of stock on a bobble-head figurine, so I ordered it to be shipped out when it was in stock. I was told it would be in stock on Monday and it would ship out and arrive by Wednesday or a little bit after. By Friday, I still hadn't received the shipment, so I called the store. I was told that it was shipped already and was given a confirmation number. The confirmation number did not pull up anything for USPS. I didn't want to call back immediately because the person on the other end already had me waiting for 5 minutes before he could give me any information. I checked the confirmation number the next day (Saturday) and it worked. It showed the shipment order was received on Friday( the day I called) and shipped on Saturday, but I never received it. They shipped it to the wrong address. I eventually got it a week and a half after I ordered it, but I just didn't appreciate them lying about it being shipped...

Workers followed my little brothers and I around. I felt uncomfortable as every time we walked the same 2 workers would be watching. My brothers are 8 and 11 and were looking at some tech decks. I told them we should go back to game chest since I felt super uncomfortable and the worker ran behind us as we walked out to check if we took anything. Don’t come here, definitely discriminatory if...
