Update After numerous times of calling and getting the same answer "Your part still isn't in yet". And when I called on Saturday 2-17-2024 I was told a manager would be calling me since, my name and number was taken. So here we are on a Wednesday and guess what no one called back and my part is now not in for over a month now. Was told the order wasn't back ordered and indeed i did order the part. So I had asked for a refund let's hope I actually get the money back on my card because I'm ordering my part from a different company. Something I should had done to begin with. *This is sooo frustrating. Have been waiting for a part for 2 weeks to come in. Was told it would be only 2 to 5 days. Called numerous times and same story. Call back in a few days we have a new shipment coming in. So called back. Get asked if I knew what part I ordered and the type or what it looks like. Of course I do. I paid for it online and had it shipped to the store.Then I get told everytime I called the store. Someone will call you when your part comes in but no one ever ask for my number. Where is my darn part. Did it came in and someone resold it or they gave it away to someone else. I just want my part...

Great stuff. Tons of Lego sets. Has a little of everything but especially stands out with toys that teach skills like building or science or art, and active toys like rope swings and kites, and a lot of board games and puzzles. Has a good wall of inexpensive sensory toys and classic things like harmonicas and stretchy toys. Prices on name-brand stuff are within a reasonable range of the big stores' prices, and there's a lot of good stuff on clearance. Oh, and a lot of Goo Jitzu toys, Metal Earth, Koosh ball toys (not only the regular ones but ones themed after TV shows, basketball hoops for Koosh, etc. A whole display of fiddle toys like Tangle and stuff. In the back there's stuff for grown-ups like soldering sets and circuit boards and small tools and scale...

I've written very few reviews for companies, but these guys/gals deserve props. I recently got into RC Airplanes and have been buying all of my equipment from them. It's so nice to still have places like this left...where you know...the staff actually cares and are knowledgeable about their products. Not only that, on several occasions I have been impressed with their help and generosity, which to me goes above and beyond. I've often thought most local retailers are going out of business because when you walk in, you know right away the employees are there only to collect a check or they just started last week because of high turnover. Well not here. The service you get here is what makes them valuable, and why I truly appreciate we have a place like this...
