Dropped my tmaxx off with them on 5/15/22 for a new engine and a good cleaning. I supplied ALL the new radio system and engine. They called a week later saying I need to pay up front, no problem. I went in on 6/3/22 and paid the $258 for labor. Couple months go by and I decide to go check in, engine is in and running but there's transmission issues. No big deal I just wish they'd of called so we could of moved forward. We both spent some time in August looking for a transmission for the tmaxx 2.5. I went in to talk to them in late August to ask if a tmaxx 3.3 transmission will fit. They said yes it will drop right in no problem. I offered to pay for the transmission up front so we can finish it up and they said that's not necessarily. Was told it'll be ready in a couple weeks. Heard nothing for a month so I went in to see what's up in late September. I was told philip, the mechanic, had been working at other stores but would be back the following week and finish my truck that week. I waited 5 weeks which brought us to today 11/5/22. Went in to find out what the hecks going on only to find out they NEVER even ordered the transmission. My truck was there 6 months and I paid in advance and still don't have a complete running truck. They have terrible terrible customer service and communication skills. I will never ever go back or recommend anyone go there.

Very big model store, offering mainly car and train models. Some airplane models, as well as toys and paraphernalia. They didn't have what I was looking for (I don't blame them, the aircraft model I wanted is fairly specific), but looking around was nice. Staff could have made a little more of an effort, as I was clearly interested in a few items, but was never offered a closer look, similar options, etc. It made me feel unwelcome and annoyed. I ended up not buying anything, even though I had wanted to.

I don't think this is something to ask on here. You should probably try Ebay.

Do they sell gunpla (gundam) models?

It's kind of good to see Gunpla on the shelf, again. Back in high school (MacArthur, class of '03) they had a handful but not a very big selection. Now it's what my high school self always wanted and then some.

Do you have 1:48 model planes in diecast metal. Looking for WW2 era fighters.

They have a vast assortment of WWII era fighter planes and ships. Although not very well organized to the customers, the owner can tell you where almost anything is in the store down to within inches. They had several die cast metal when I was in there a couple of months ago but can't say as of this moment. I hope this helps :)

I would suggest that you look at Hobby Town's website. Since they bought out Wild Bill's, Will Bill's will now carry what Hobby Town sells as well. They do have a lot of vintage rockets and RC toys.
