“I’m all for giving second chances. Turns out Mr. Moody Grey Beard is a nice guy after all, and it was a misunderstanding. We initially came in this morning and wrote a review about a less than desirable experience. However, after going and speaking with the owner again, this time, he was very pleasant and helpful. Thank you for the nice response and for having us at your cool shop. We deleted our last review and replaced it with this one.”

And it's nice that there are a lot of fun gifts/ items in the front section too.

“Store could be a little nicer inside but has actually pretty fair prices, especially for the figurines. They're roughly the same as what you can get online, and if you factor in shipping, they're often a bit cheaper. Nice place for any hobbyists :)”

Son got 3 figures. He plays with them in school and we have never seen them before. He was delighted. We are tourists so it was a great find.

“We found this little gem in Old Town a few years ago. Have been a fan since. In the Spring of 2020, Jane was so gracious, warm, polite and informative to answer our questions and educate about types of flagpoles, flag-sizes, quality and fabrics ideal for residential use. Bought a 25ft telescopic pole that was quick and easy to install; just needed small gravel-like rocks and ready-to-use quikrete mix. This store has since been a staple for us to make a long drive every year to get many more flags (Padres and other sports, world flags, festive flags), stakes and other décor items. All their flags are decent-priced, high quality and mostly Made in USA. Thanks to Susan, Ben and Robin for helping custom order a flag through their flagship store in Phoenix. I just wish you’re open an hour longer during DST months like pre-pandemic times.”

“Josh, a framer, was incredibly helpful! A few years ago I purchased a custom frame from Michaels and when I went to replace the photo, the matte was glued to the foam board. I went into the store for some guidance and Josh spent nearly a half hour salvaging the matte so that I wouldn’t need to purchase a new custom size matte to fit the frame I purchased from them a few years ago. Excellent service! Thank you so much, Josh!”

“I was introduced to this store by some friends and wow, I am impressed. They've got tabletop games and dice, they've got miniature combat game stuff, They've got a glorious collection of board and card games.... there is even a pre-owned game section with some pretty great options if new games are out of your budget.

There are also tables for playing your own games or one you borrow there. No one made us feel even slightly unwelcome for playing several hours worth of games.

It's clean to include the bathroom and the music is great but not too loud. The staff know their stuff- I had a few questions about stock and they could answer without looking for most of it.

10/10, this should be your local store.”
