Hobby Shops in Boulder, CO

“I placed an online order for Mother’s Day and despite me entering in my mom’s address, it still defaulted to my home address. I reached out to customer service via email and was thrilled with the quick resolution to my problem. Thank you, Maria! I even received a small refund due to the sales tax differing from state to state. It’s a pleasant surprise to receive prompt, attentive customer service!”

“I had a fantastic experience with Kelsey Clark, the gallery manager at Art Source International. The shop itself is adorable, with a wonderful variety of art pieces from different styles that make it a joy to browse. Kelsey went above and beyond to help me locate a print of The Kiss and took extra care with the packaging, knowing I was traveling and needed to fit it in my luggage. Her welcoming attitude and attention to detail truly made the experience memorable. I’m so grateful for her help and can’t recommend her enough!”

“Visited on 16-Oct-2023 during school fall break. There are a few free parking spots in front, and I think there is a lot out back. The woman working here was very patient and knowledgeable about MTG, the primary purpose of the visit. A large supply of cards at varying price points. Market values at the standard(?) trading rates w/re store credit. My son spent way too much (of everyone's) time putting together a commander deck, but the staff graciously made it happen, even making suggestions to improve that deck and others (tron?). My son forgot a box of cards on a table, and the clerk ran out to our car with them in hand before we drove off. A+ Oh, and a common card filing system from an old library. "Oh, that was in Ghostbusters", is how my son recognized it.”

“This place is wicked cool. The puzzles are absolutely gorgeous and I can’t even wrap my head around how exactly they are configured in the first place. The puzzle pieces are made out of wood and the pieces are thick and sturdy. One artist does all the artwork and on the flipside of the puzzles there are creatures; people dancing, animals, so that the puzzle can be put together on the other side as well. The store owner (or maybe owners) is a smarty; in the center of the store is a table with puzzles anyone can come play with—such a great marketing idea! Don’t miss this wonderful rabbit hole adventure. The puzzles make great gifts….and what a great way to treat yourself.And to top it off, they are Boulder-made!”

“I don't normally write reviews, but seeing as reviews were the reason I went to this store in the first place, I felt I had to share my experience.

I haven't painted a miniature in over 20 years (I helped my brother paint them when I was a little kid), and I've never tried playing the tabletop game at all. I met Ken when I walked in and explained that I'm essentially new to The Hobby and was looking to get into it. Ken was AWESOME. He got me set up at a table in the shop and walked me through painting my first Space Marine. We chatted about painting, the rules of the tabletop game, the various factions, etc. for nearly three hours. He was super knowledgeable and a ton of fun to hang with. I cannot overstate how welcoming and cool the environment in Ken's store is.

If you have even a passing interest in anything Warhammer related, you owe it to yourself to check out this store in Boulder. It is top to bottom, front to back Warhammer, including miniature sets, paints, rulebooks, terrain, and accessories, as well as several tabletops for people to run games on. I'll definitely be going back, once I finish painting my first Combat Patrol, to play my first game!”

“This place taught me not to judge an LGS by its cover. I had just arrived in Colorado and was looking for a nice place to draft MTG. I was pretty spoiled coming from the Mox Boarding House and didn't know what to make of a place that sold stamps and coins as their primary business. But they have such a lovely little Magic community that is by far the friendliest and most fun that I've experienced (in Colorado or abroad). I'll be heading back home to the Mox soon, and only wish I could take this place with me!”

“This past Friday I had the most pleasant experience at Tebo Coin. I have had some coins that belonged to my father in law for over thirty years and had talked to a few coin places and none of them seemed to be where I needed to go. Then I sold some gold about a year ago and asked about selling coins and he told me the only place to go would be to Tebo in Boulder. So to Tebo Coin I went. Tim was the main gentleman helping me and he was training a gentleman by the name of James. The knowledge Tim possessed was most impressive to my husband and me. It took about a third of the time I thought it would and I ended up with them paying more than I thought they would. Also I did not get the owners/managers name but he was equally as concerned that all was going well. I can not recommend this place enough. They are professional, warm and pleasant to work with. Thank you Tim and James.”

“I don't understand the point of the self checkout if someone is right beside you telling you which buttons to push, as I'm pressing them. I know what I'm doing - just let me do it. She was very kind, but I didn't ask for help and didn't need any, and hovering over me made me uncomfortable.”
