Mental Notes while at a hobby shop-
With in Kaimuki, there are currently a total of four hobby shops. Each rated differently. Depending on customer service. I will give a brief rundown on the four shops.
Collector Mainiacs- Currently owned by Robert Lai. An old classmate of mine in high school. The line up. He's not the greatest when it comes to customer service. His store does have a good variety of models, comics, japanese toys, DVDs, CDs. Of course the stuff he sells are priced a bit too high. For my taste at least. Mr. Lai's rudeness and unproffesional attitude to his customeres are minus points. Honestly his store display could be improved a bit.
Mecha Hawaii- Owned by Sean Akita. The new store that opened a few years back. The store itself is a very spacious room. With shelves and display cases along the walls. A lot of the customer's models or the models Mr. Akita makes are prominently displayed in these cases. According to category, each shelf has the boxes and boxes of models. Macross, Gundam, etc. Glass shelves in the middle of the store have a few Transformers and Misc. stuff. The place is kept clean and everything neatly arranged. As for customer service, Mr. Akita does his best. I rate his shop as one of the recommended places to go.
Gecko Books- Owned by Ted Mays. This store specializes in gaming miniatures, comics, baseball cards. Some toys which need to be ordered. I did order a Soul Of Chogokin Voltes V model from Ted's store and it arrived pretty early. "Thank you again Ted." This store has a variety of comics all neatly arranged in shelves. Some toys. All of whicb are the owner's or customers taste. As for customer service. Mr Mays does this well. And professionally. "I salute you Ted."
Toys -n- Joys- Owned by the Le Family. Currently occupying the space of the former Goodwill shop, Very spacious area. A lot of variety of Toys, Models, BB Guns, Swords, Games, Game consoles, etc.. When it comes to customer service, the staff are on the ball. Art Molina with his prompt ordering of items from a customer. New Shipments come in no later than the week after a new item is released. And sending the shipments of customer orders out to their address early as possible. "Art, Alex, well done" A recommended place for models or games. And for collectors.
