Hobby Shops in Scarborough, ON

“Fair price food quality and a kind owner and he has a nice car too ?..been here before and will be back again for some LED lights and will recommend to my friends too”

“The first time I came here was about a year ago-- I am from the US. I followed them on IG and loved all the different kinds of stock they get, plus they are one of the few blind box stores with around 19.1K followers on social media so I was eager to see what the hype was about.

Their assortment of boxes is great! Lots of variety. Prices aren't horrible either. The shop is very bright and colorful. The boxes were all displayed and stacked neatly. I noticed a lot of the reviews complained about the cigarette scent- I didn't smell it at all. I particularly love their artist alley in the back half of the store. A great way to support small businesses/artists by buying their merch, etc. I will say the back half of the store (artist alley) is quite messy and a bit disorganized.

I knocked down a point mainly due to customer service. I've been here a total of two times. The first time I received little to no customer service- not even a hi welcome in. Same thing with this most recent visit almost a year later. Coincidentally it was the same female staff worker both times who checked me out. She seemed very stand-offish and a bit intimidating to be honest lol. I would ask about trading because I'm not exactly sure how the intricacies of the trading community/how their store runs besides the selling of blind boxes, and her response made me feel silly for asking like I should've known the answer.

I hate to make a deal out of customer service as it seems like most people who have reviewed didn't have this issue. Perhaps it was just bad luck with the this particular staff both times. But as someone who has worked in customer service before, it's something that can really make a shopping experience memorable.”

“Friendly, and knowledgeable staff. The shelves are welled stocked and if you cannot find what you’re looking for I’ve found the staff are willing to look in the back, get things off the top shelf, or look to see if another location has the product.”

“Went in to get some modelling supplies with my wife and doggo. Very nice selection. I like stores like this, reminds me of old times. Owner was helpful with a question I had. People seem to complain about the pricing, but pretty much same prices as everywhere else, which is jacked up. I’m down with supporting a local store like this and will come back again.”

“Absolutely amazing customer service. Prompt and helpful. Product was just what we wanted for our organization. Easily set up and looks great! We purchased the 10x10 with a back wall and are very happy with our purchase. Would recommend to anyone!”

“Biggest Michaels I've been to. I love that this store has washrooms. Michaels prices are normally on the higher side but you get better quality for the price you pay. I was able to get some good deals that were on sale”

“Amazing place. I have only been at their old location once. They have now moved at the edge of the plaza onto a bigger space. More room and really impressive to see with all their selections. I was briefly greeted by 2 staff with such professionalism. I had intended to sell ny collection and Lawrence, who gives me the impression is the manager, was amazing at delivering great service with care and enthusiasm. Arsh walked in after, the person who will be going through my collection for a quote. Arsh was also very professional and thorough with educational information regarding their procedures on buyung big bulks. I wish I lived near them. I would definitely support their business and make sure these guys are around for a long time. A friend did highly recommend the place and now I see why. As a business man and someone who takes pride in customer service these guys are top notch. I plan to open up a TCG shop and can only hope to employ prople like Lawrence, Arsh and the other 2 I met. Well done guys.”
