Magic Box Hobbies, Vancouver Reviews (5)
The lady who works there was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She had some great tips for building my Gundam model kit.
Purchased faulty toy train. $167. Engine never worked. Took it back 4 months 13 days later ( guess I was busy ). Got some serious attitude. Told it would cost $100 to fix. Contacted manufacturer Marklin in Germany myself. All I wanted was a working engine. They sent me a whole new set ( engine, tracks, cars , etc ) no questions asked. How come Magic Box could not do that for me?
they are busy people I don't know why the bad reviews they have to work too sometimes maybe they have alot to do the as in lady is a great person who I have dealt with and will go back for parts and planes and fix everything myself so if you want good product go here there prices are good too
I took my 10 year old son in with his plane and helicopter from an uncle for Josh to fix. Josh said they would be ready by noon the next day. I went in the next day at 4:30 and he was too busy to do it so I had to go back the day after. Cost $30 for roughly 15 minutes of work. Josh didn't bother to make sure the helicopter was working after he replaced the part. I don't know the status of the repair to the plane yet..cross my fingers. I ended up taking the helicopter to Racing Devil Hobbies in Richmond (I live in downtown Vancouver) and they fixed it on the spot and didn't charge me a dime. This shop is well organized, clean, and the guys there are very friendly. Magic Box Hobbies...not so much :(
