What the hell happened to all their tamiya rc cars?  I asked one guy and he said someone broke in and stole it all, then I asked another guy few moths later and he said they sold it all off before they moved into new location.

This place sucks now.

its smaller with less stock.  Place looks more like a warehouse than a retail store.  Its cold as fuck in there.   The front office is a waste of space with nothing there xcept a few glass shelves showing some old kits.

I with they stock more Tamiya cars...i miss looking at them
2 stars form me.

Everything is sooo expensive after they moved.  I am talking about 50% over internet pricing, and the owner really has attitude.  I have been a long time customer for them , but sorry, I have to go somewhere else.

Geez, new location, new ownership...and then... what happened?

The service has taken a real dive since the above happened. I've been a Sheldon's customer since I was in elementary school but no more. Plus my favorite Sheldon's staff member moved to my other, favorite local e-flight focused hobby shop, so no reason to come here any more.

This store has one of the best selection I've seen in the area. Thank goodness they moved to the new building because they sure could've used the extra space.

The staff is rather...interesting. My first time going here was a good experience, since I was greeted by the Asian guy with a mustache (I forgot his name). He's very helpful and very knowlegable about RC aircraft, since I had no idea how to build one and I need to know for my senior project. The new owner was also helpful, although at times cocky and rude. The red-haired lady...well, at first she struck the wrong chord with me, since I got MAJOR attitude from her, but eventually I tolerated her since I came to this store plenty of times for my project. Pretty much the less you communicate with her, the better you're off.

Pros: Great selection of spare parts esp. wheels/tires for my nitro cars and trucks. Prices are competitive.

Cons: Sometimes surely sales clerks, and the cashier, an elderly (fake_ red-haired woman, more often than not gives the impression that she'd much rather be anywhere else than ringing up customers.
