I went here to get a gift for a friend. I knew he liked Warhammer and got his models from Lost Planet, but that was it. As soon as I walked in, the owner greeted me, noting that he hadn't seen me there before. I told him the name of the friend I was buying for and he immediately knew who I was talking about. He went over to the shelf and gave me a few suggestions, even saying "he just bought these (pointing to a box) last week so don't get those!" and "He's been really into these lately." I know nothing about Warhammer so I'm glad the owner was so helpful because I would've been lost without him and probably would've bought models that my friend wouldn't have even used, or bought him a duplicate. I can tell it's a really close-knit community within the shop and I admired how attentive and friendly the owner was.

Lost Planet has been on my "to visit" hobby stores for close to 3 years now.

I don't know why it took me so long! I usually go to SoCal in the summer time traveling from Philadelphia and I'm really glad I took the time to check out the store.

The selection of 40k items was one of the best I've seen. There were more than probably 8 different types of paint brands (amazing). I might've counted 8 or 9 tables? I could be wrong as I was just a bit in awe at the amount of inventory.

The people working at the store were dope (wish I could remember their names, but I'm terrible with names). One of them introduced himself to me as I walked in and told him of my pilgrimage to their store. He gave me a quick tour and left me to my lonesome to browse the amazing items.

Remember, folks, support your FLGS as it is a very difficult business. You folks in Torrance have an amazing spot to go, hangout, socialize, and get away from reality for a couple hours with old friends or new friends.

Thank you so much for the hospitality, great conversation,...
