“I had these guys construct me a monstrosity of a cover for a large 130 year old antique cabinet. Jesse was the one who helped me, awesome customer service and he knew his stuff! He called me to give me an eta, then they called me on that day to tell me it was done! I picked up the piece today and the lady who took my payment was funny and friendly! The piece it fit perfectly over my cabinet! They did a great job on the dimensions. There was a little hiccup with some scratches, but the boss took care of me, very kindly and professionally. These guys really went the extra mile to make my custom piece. So it's all good in the hood and IThanks, Tap Plastics!”
“I drove 40 miles to check out this place, and I'm glad I did. When I arrived, I found that a couple of wild turkeys were waiting for the store to open ahead of me. They were kind enough to let me enter ahead of them. Once inside, I was immediately greeted by the owner, who apologized for not having any trains running yet. Can you believe it? They had been open for two whole minutes and hadn't started running trains yet. But before I could say, "all aboard," the owner had his Broadway Limited SP 4449 (HO) on the tracks, blowing its whistle and speeding down the layout. I toured the store and found a vast selection of locomotives, rolling stock, and everything anyone could possibly need to build a model railroad in any size, shape, or scale imaginable. As I walked around the store, I could hear the owner greeting customers and answering technical questions about the hobby off the top of his head. I spotted a few items that interested me and checked the interwebs for price comparisons. To my surprise, there wasn't a significant "brick-and-mortar tax." Pricing was fair. When you consider the investment necessary to maintain a well-stocked hobby shop, I'd say the place provides great value. I look forward to returning to Just Trains as I build my layout. Great service, great selection, and great value. Five stars!”
“Love this store. The service is ALWAYS spot on! Ray (The owner) is a very nice guy He really knows his stuff. Very knowledgeable of everything he sells! If you're looking for Sports cards to add to your collection, or just starting out, MVP & RAY is where you should go!”
“Shop associates are quick and efficient in answering your questions or showing their offerings! Such an expansive selection of party games, card games, and tabletop games for the avid D&D connoisseur.”
“I just dropped off my Allen Iverson Rookies here for the PSA Drop Off Event! I'll be visiting this store whenever I'm in the area! If you want to see some fire single cards and boxes for sports or Pokémon this is the store to visit!”
“I highly recommend Jeff Brody. He is very knowledgeable about coins, fair in pricing and a fun guy to know. My dad kept a coin collection and we weren't sure of it's value or what to do with it. I called Jeff after getting a recommendation from a friend. He answered the phone when I called and invited me to his shop in Orinda. We spent a couple hours going through the collection while listening to an awesome playlist of tunes mostly from the 70s. My mom was so happy with the results - time well spent!”

“Still a fairly good place to shop for anime figures & gunpla kits if in ur neck of the woods their sister store Anime Near me has tons of anime and gunpla kits and more selections too, if ya'll don't mind making a trip u won't regret it”
“Jim was fantastic! My kids had a collection of coins that they were sure would be worth millions! I called ahead, explaining the unlikelihood. Jim agreed to meet with them anyway. He very professionally went through each coin, explaining what would make a coin valuable. We learned a lot! He's quite a historian, as well. Our coins were only face-value but the experience was priceless.”
“This is the best toy and collectible shop in California. The selection is massive and quality of inventory is also great. Prices are consistently below what you expect to pay on eBay, they also take trade-in's on certain items that are in demand. They repair certain toys (did a great job on my 1980's GI Joe figures). Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Pot of Gold”

“The staff were nice and knowledgeable. There's a variety of things to peruse and purchase from here. I will say that prices seemed steep for me, but I'm not a collector. The store was clean and organized, which is always appreciated!”
“I have had several brief yet always fun interactions with several of the staff. Seem to be smiling and are typically always very helpful. They have a big enough selection of magic the gsthering cards, granted they only sell packs and accessories not singles but are price more than appropriately I would recommend the store to anyone who enjoys games, puzzles, collectibles, and just fun. if you enjoy any of these things, this store is for you !”
“I don't know what that last customer was on about but I think Blick does a good job taking care of me. all the workers there are team players and resourceful and I got a good deal recently on some cans they had on clearance. It's a small spot but it has a real local feel to it. none of that corperate stuff”
“Yeah why do the best card shops have to be in the middle of nowhere? Black Diamond Games is a game/hobby shop located in the back side of the Park and Shop strip mall in Concord (home to Ranch 99, Kevin's Noodle House, formerly Fry's electronics, etc.). It's very well stocked with tons of board games, TCG accessories, and more. I've been looking for Katana sleeves for a while in San Jose, where basically every store is sold out of them. I was pleasantly surprised to find a wide selection available here. They also had some more niche Anime sleeves, such as Grand Archive art sleeves. They have a impressive game room in the back with free play available if they're not running an event at the time. There's a bunch of board games on the shelves which you can borrow to play. There's even a well-kept bathroom in the game room. Overall, it seems like a really chill place to hang out and play board games or TCG. The staff is friendly here as well. If I can nitpick about a few things, one is that they don't have TCG singles in their display cases, and two is that some of their items don't have prices labeled on them, so you need to ask. Looking back, I wish we had a store like this in San Jose. The closest we've got is maybe CardArt or pre-Covid Legends Eastridge. Enough talk.”
“Our son lost his transition object on christmas eve in Austria. Since Steiff stopped producing the model, i ve combed through the web to find a replacement and luckily this store still had one in stock. Ordering was simple and it saved Christmas and beyond. Thank you so much!”
“Came here while visiting my brother in town and the store has a really nice collection of dice. A little low on figurines when I visited, but Heather was so nice at the front!! They immediately clocked me as someone that would enjoy textured dice and helped me pick some beautiful dragon scale dice. I'll definitely be back when I'm in town again.”
“Beat game shop in the bay imo. Dan is such a great help he single-handedly knows so much about magic and is extremely helpful going above and beyond: please GIVE HIM A RAISE!!!! Thanks so much Dan, my deck thanks you also.”
“I'm generally super happy after going to this store, but my wallet is usually crying because I almost always end up getting more than I actually really need. (In my defense, I've been trying to get back to trying to make cool things again, and my friend and I want to do baking/Bob Ross paint nights, so how could we not come here, especially when there are so many sales to be had!?) Anyway, I adore the sales + the staff is really nice/helpful/patient here. I've done a good amount of "ship to store+pickup" as well as "browse through the aisles and grab what I need(/want)" and it's never taken long for either of these. (I also really like that the app will tell you exactly what aisle the item you're looking for is in...)”
“This Hobby Lobby is huge. There's an extra room off to the side. I love that Spring items are on sale before Spring gets here! Downside - not enough cashiers and I got in a line that was going to close. The employee was rather rude when telling me he was closing.”
