“I love this store, or at least the idea of it, but they are way too expensive to actually give one a reason to shop there, it’s almost exploitative. I’m very glad they stock Gunpla now, but their prices are a nearly 50% MSRP markup, so expensive that you could buy any given kit from anywhere online with the average $10 shipping and still be cheaper than driving here and buying any of their kits. It’s insane. Their board games are at least nearly MSRP. The store itself is good, they sell miniature paints and a fantastic stock of board games and a mix of vintage and modern video games. If they fixed the prices to at least competitive, it would be 5/5 easily, but until then, shop somewhere else
Edit: to be clear, any other *brick and mortar* shop that sells similar items, even in this same area or those that pay *more* than this store sell kits at MSRP. It’s not as if this place pays their employees particularly well or more than other places, in fact other hobby shops host the SAME type of events and still are cheaper whilst paying the same. For them to reply and pretend as if their prices are due to their pay or events is laughable. It’s not just online that sells things at a reasonable price. The oldest hobby store in the area sells at MSRP, in fact, every online store *has a primary brick and mortar store* and still maintains prices and frequent sales. Don’t publicly lie because you think those reading are too dim to accurately criticize your practices. You can see on your own site that you barely pay 15$ an hour, at LEAST pay a real living wage before you lie about it. Do better.
Edit 2: since going back recently, it’s seemed that their prices are now in-line with other shops, which I hope to continue seeing. As such, I’ve increased my review score from 2 stars up to 5 as I said originally.”
“Wonderful, spacious, well organized book store location with ample leasure space to check out some good reads. Staff is attentive and polite and the store has a great selection of all types of media as well as board games and toys. Would highly recommend this B&N”
“This will be my go to spot for comics and collectible figures. Really clean and organized, staff on hand is knowledgeable and always ready to answer any questions.”
“Lots of items at reasonable prices. It's best to check the items you're planning to purchase as some items have imperfections. I saw a very nice bath sheet, but it had stains and I wasn't sure I would be able to get it clean.”
“They have a good selection of GI Joe's Star wars and Masters of the universe. The prices for most of the things are on the higher side which is understandable because it is a retail store. I don't really know if you can haggle on prices when I went there was a Sunday and only one person running the register and it wasn't his section where the toys were. It's almost as if it's an indoor flea market type atmosphere.”
“The place to get an rc remote control. Owner is very knowledgeable and guarantees what he sells. He fixes what he sells if it breaks. The first and last place to get your rc toys.”
“I go here at least 2 times a month for things I need for the house bc I can't get them anywhere cheaper like laundry soap and puppy pads. The people are friendly and helpful.”
“I just want to say how amazing the staff is here. I talked to a representative of the store named Michelle. Left a message on my phone, letting me know that they have been trying to contact me about my daughter’s wallet that was left at the location in the Lehigh Valley Mall almost over a year ago!
My daughters handwriting is terrible and they still tried multiple numbers to try to get a hold of me. Not only did they finally made contact with me, but also FedEx me my daughter’s wallet and it got here within two days. Everything that was left behind is still in the wallet. Not only does it speak volumes about the clientele that they have, but also the kind of a staff they have to be able to not give up in the process of making sure that young woman receives her property back.
Not only was I extremely happy, but my daughter has not been able to hold back, smiles as she is going through her items. I can’t thank this place enough!”
