“I have been here a few times now and they have the best staff of any card store I've been to. Every employee has passion for collecting and they all genuinely care about every customer that walks through the door. They also have a great selection with a variety of options for every collector.”
“MLK - Mike, Lawrence or Kai, take your pick they're all awesome. I'm a relative newbie but they've all helped me at one time or another. What I love about this place is that the service doesn't just end once you make a purchase. They support you for the life of your scope. Even better, any time I struggle I can give them a call and theyve always been helpful, walked me through it step by step, and go the extra mile when needed. Only place to shop if you're in southern California”
“gundam prices are solid for HG and RGs considering if you order from any other business online that you have to pay $10 shipping. You have to be careful with MGs because there's a few here $10-15 too expensive.”
“I spoke with, Ryan at the Buena Park location about possibly making a purchase on an arts & crafts table and answered all of my questions thoroughly, super polite and just made my overall experience go great and smoothly. He is a great asset to this company and to any company he provides service for.”

“Ron was super helpful in helping me pick out a new antenna and explaining connectors. I’m from out of state but I could not recommend a better experience for a store so enthusiastic about the ham hobby.”
“Keith is great. Great prices on yokomo parts. He is an authorized dealer. He has a beautiful drift track and I got to take a pic of my daughter with one of the spots on his RC drift track. Thanks man.”
“Finally found a good place for collectibles in OC. Clean and well organized. Helpful staff. Spent about an hour in there today talking with who I presume is the owner. I bought a big load of stuff and he worked with me a bit on price even though his prices were already very competitive to online comps. Will be back here probably every week. If you're in the area, and you like Funkos, Pokemon, One Piece etc. this is a must visit.”
“The friendliest and fun environment in a store that I have experienced in a long time. Lodge inventory is always a great thing, especially when pricing comes pretty close to manufacturer's pricing. Good, practical items.”
“When we walked into Kite Connection we met Allison with her amazing energy!! Right away our son took a liking to her while she showed him some cool toys and he showed her his art. Dave walked up and was amazed that our 6yo was the little artist behind it all. Dave did a live with AJ right then and there and made his dreams come true by saying he would sell his artwork in his store. Thanks for making this trip an incredible memory for our family! We recommend stopping in with your family and meeting the crew!!”
“Great service and an amazing selection of trains. I purchased my first O-Gauge train set here. The employees answered all of my questions and were not pushy at all.”
“It was very busy when I went so I didn't know how buying, selling and trading pins works. But I have gotten a lot of advice tips and tricks from employees who work there and customer who sell and trade Disney pins.”

“I’ve gone into this Michael’s many times, but had a really great experience last week. I bought a ton of frames and Vitna helped me bag each one which made my trip to the car so much easier. Without her help it would’ve been very difficult and she even offered to carry them out to the car with me. Thank you, it was overall great and they had everything I needed.”
“The perfect, down-home location that is the best place in the area for Magic: The Gatherer players. The store owners are pleasant, accommodating folks who put the customer first. I solidly recommend this place and go out of my way to come here.”
“I've made some great friends through Spellhold Games, both staff and other players. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable, and the shop has lots of room to play. This is a great shop for legacy players, Tuesdays are poppin. They have MTG, Pokemon, Flesh and Blood, Disney Lorcana and One Piece. They have a ton of snacks and drinks as well. The restrooms are by key only so you don't have to worry about messy public restrooms. Would recommend!”
“Super helpful and nice people happy with my order of bird seed and the birds are loving it ,also they delivered my order in a short time after ordering by phone will be a loyal customer”
“Love Michaels, especially around the holidays for good deals on holiday decor, gift wrapping/ribbon, etc. Writing this review to give Colleen on register a special shoutout...she checked me out today and she was so kind, funny and cheerful! A breath of fresh air!”

“This place is unbelievable! The owner cares so much about the work he creates because it's his name on anything going out so he wants nothing but the best. I highly recommend this place.”

“This place is great they have WNBA and UEFA champions league soccer trading cards in which other place don't. Definitely will be sending my friends to this location.”
“Was looking for an anime store and stumbled upon this place. It's small but dense. If you're looking generally for "anime stuff" this seems to be the place, lol. To my surprise they had some uncommon franchises like Gran Blue Fantasy. I don't typically see that even in huge anime stores so that was cool to see. I think this will be a place to check regularly.”
“I really like this Michael's. Sometimes is a bit hard to find a sales associate on the sales floor, once I do they are extremely helpful. Well stocked and clean, they have some stuff Hobby Lobby doesn't and vice versa.”
“Good selection of magic tricks and prank items. The staff is friendly and willing to demonstrate how tricks work. Good selection of costumes in a wide array of sizes. They even have Santa suits for guys who are really built like Santa. Costumes which they used to rent are being sold for the cost of a day's rental. Hours of operation are limited. They are usually only open Tuesday, Thursday snd Saturday.”
“Prices are lower then you'd expect, about the same as online for most items. They have a nice 1\28 scale track but you can only run Kyosho Mini-z's on it which is a shame.”

“GREAT EXPERIENCE!We were so pleased with our recent experience with Tami at the London Coin Galleries in Newport Beach. She was knowledgeable and friendly, and was happy to answer any questions we had thoroughly and completely. It was obvious that she was a professional, competent businesswoman, and we would recommend her to anyone wanting to sell good-quality gold items or coins. The gallery itself is lovely, with many interesting and unusual pieces. We would definitely come back.”

“I inherited a small collection of coins, stamps and jewelry from my late aunt. I looked at many different dealers that I was looking to bring my collection to, but after reading reviews specifically for Dennis and his OC Rare Coin- I decided to travel from the valley to their office in Orange. I was not disappointed! I really appreciated having a safe and private space to go rather than a counter with items that were somewhat sentimental. I felt my aunt had cared enough to save these items for so long, I wanted the same care to be given to them in their departure. Dennis met me with his partner Victor. Each of them meticulously went over every piece of my collection. They explained a lot to me, and took the time to connect with me personally. They were courteous, kind, and very honest. Dennis said typically they recommend getting different offers, and organized/itemized everything for me to take home and think about- but with the experience I had (not to mention hours spent) why would I want to go anywhere else?! I walked away feeling good about my decision and pleased with the outcome. Highly recommend!”
“Stopped by to have a collage framed. Diane was my framer. She knew exactly what to do. She's such the expert. She's helped me before. She's very professional and very customer service oriented. Thank you Diane.”
“Got the Millennium Falcon for my birthday. Saw your video then began building the Falcon. My daughter was interested, she loved and intrigued what I was doing. Just finished it. ?. Have it on display. Thanks. I have a large size model, but not like this. Hope you make more sci-fi models.Marco..”

“I came in here to purchase x2 notebooks for a personal protect that I am doing for my family. My friend came with me and had not been to a Hobby Lobby before, and was unsure about what to think of Hobby Lobby. The amount and the quality of the holiday decor changed her opinion and expectations of Hobby Lobby.
Definitely a 5-star rating ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Great location to practice Lorcana on Monday nights. The store doesn’t have the best selection on singles, but the staff and TCG community here is helpful, friendly and welcoming.”
