“I had a very positive experience with the male cashier whose name I believe is Matthew. He was very kind and patient, and went above and beyond to help me use a coupon when I didn’t know any better. It showed a lot of honesty on his part, which is what breeds customer loyalty!”
“I’ve taken my Traxxas here a few times, and the staff are always very friendly and extremely helpful. They explain everything clearly and take the time to make sure I’m well taken care of. They truly go above and beyond, and I greatly appreciate it.”
“Very sweet and kind owner. He's really nice to have a conversation with and extremely knowledgeable on comics. Also the books were reasonably priced and in great condition.”
“VERY nice toy store, jam packed with all sorts of things that are clearly organized. You got colouring, you got Gundam, you got trains, you got cooking, you got puzzles, cards, STEM, and more.
With both Mastermind and Toys R Us stores dissappearing all the time, it's nice to have one of these around.”
“Had such an awesome experience with Great Hobbies! I bought a car about 7–8 months ago, and recently it started having technical issues and wouldn’t run. I was honestly worried about what would happen, but they completely exceeded my expectations. They helped me under warranty and fixed everything for free — new battery, accessories, everything!
The customer service was top-tier. Huge shoutout to Angelous K for being incredibly helpful, patient, and supportive throughout the whole process. He explained everything clearly and made it stress-free.
I was so happy with the service that I ended up buying another car today. If you’re into RC cars or need help with yours, I 100% recommend this place. Amazing service and great people”
“This is my new favourite store! I was tired of spending money on feeders that either did not last more than one or two seasons, OR just didn’t attract birds. I also had a Starling infestation and couldn’t find consistent info online.
The products they sell are high quality, and their expertise is super helpful (I could spend hours online going from site to site reading contradicting info, but I’d rather pop in and ask my questions). Highly recommend!”
“Solid store. Staff are nice. Has all the craft supplies you could ever need, really.
Though i will say, WAIT until holiday decore goes on sale 2 or 3 weeks before the actual holiday because the full price is INSANE. (had my eye on that discoball ghost for Halloween, but 200 BUCKS?!? Even their attempt to discount it at $100 was too much).
Anyway, they also briefly had this Froot Loops gummies in the checkout lane that were amazing... should restock those.”
“The staff and selection are excellent. Dawn took the time to answer all of my questions well, demonstrate the flash and answer other technical questions. I didn’t feel rushed and was happy with my purchase.”
“Great place in general with a very wide range of cards. Staff are very welcoming and seem to love to hold conversations with all costumers from various eras.
Sucks that pokemon card prices for both sealed and singles are nuts, but that's where the market currently is at so it's not really their doing.
Would be a 5 star review if they kept track of their inventory for card singles in general instead of just the sealed product that's always in stock. Unfortunately not everyone lives close by and can't regularly see what great cards they got :(
Edit:
Changing to a 5 star review after the reply I got about not having their singles online for the locals to have a chance. As a local collector, 100% respect and thankful about that. Never considered that as an option, very sorry about shitting on you about that.
Also forgot to add in my original review about their trade-in rates. Honestly they got one of the best rates I've seen- they don't try to lowball you at all even if you're clueless about the prices. If you have have some cards to trade/sell, this is the place to go.”
“Credit Valley is a well established and well run model train shop, and they have a wide variety of stock and services. Their repair technician is very helpful as well. Highly recommend them.”
“I have a picture and the frame broke, I came here to see if I could get it reframed. Daesha was really good to work with. I like that she took the time to explain everything and didn't come across like your being schooled or wrong in what you where thinking. I'm so pleased and thrilled that I was able to keep a picture I have loved for years. Thanks Daesha for everything”

“Been coming here for over 18 years, love the selection, community and staff. I always feel welcome and Andrij, David and Jordan are always great to chat hobby with and recommend the best things when I need help deciding what to buy.”
“I was in earlier today to inquire about Absolute Batman 1. While they didn’t have it in stock Nia was a huge help answering my questions about it and highly recommended the graphic novel versions. While I wasn’t interested in grabbing them today Nia was very open to grabbing them from another store or notifying me if one comes in. I will be making conspiracy comics my go to for comic books and comic questions!”
“Picked up a pair of manga id had on my mind for a long time now and by luck Conspiracy had the exact volumes I wanted. Ash at the counter said they're good reads too, had a nice short chat. hope to come by again soon”
“I. Love. Michaels. They get me for way too much money but people are friendly and they have everything. Crystal in the framing department was super helpful in helping me choose what matte and frame best suited my photos.”
“I’m leaving this review while it’s fresh in my mind. I just came out of Michael’s and their custom framing department and want to say I had such a wonderful experience because of Imogen. I brought my daughter’s professional certificate that I had promised to get a framed for her, but I couldn’t find an appropriate frame due to the weird size of the certificate. Imogen kindly went out of her way to help, walking down the aisle with me to find the perfect frame, and even helped me carefully put The certificate into the frame so I could surprise my daughter. I love this Michael’s honestly and I’ve come many times to stalk the craft aisles, but having this extra TLC for my shopping was really great. I had such a big smile on my face when I left the store. Thanks so much again, Imogen!”
“Great experience! I was having a problem with my airbrush, they quickly resolved the issue (mine). NO upselling! Great cost effective suggestions. Massive selection of paints. I will be back, despite the 1 1/4hr drive. 10/10”
