“Very nice store, lots of interesting and rare items, staff is very kind and helpful. Unfortunately I wasn’t in the market to buy anything this time and couldn’t come to a deal with the owner about buying some of my collection, I appreciate the help they gave me when determining a price range for the items I was selling and am very pleased with the great customer service. I look forward to shopping here in the future.”
“Not only is Fred incredibly knowledgeable about what he does, but he's also super nice, intelligent and funny. Add honest to that list, since I brought my items in not knowing anything about anything (except the standard Google search), and walked out feeling like I had somehow taken advantage of him. I could not be happier. (Sorry it took me so long to finally post my review)”
“Recently visited this store and was amazed by the extensive collection of POP Funko and WWE merchandise. The store boasts an impressive inventory of video games, action figures, and collectibles. Additionally, there is a tech lab in the back that specializes in repairing most electronics. For top-notch phone or console repairs, be sure to ask for Shea M.”
“Caroline was a very big help very Knowledgeable person great Attitude personality yes I will go back again and tell my friends about this place if Google had more 5 stars she will get it from me”
“Incredibly awesome place! Their selection is fantastic, the people that run the place are all very nice, and it feels like a very welcoming environment for all people. It's everything you want in a local game store and more.”

“If you're any kind of fan of model building or wargaming go here, it's 100% worth it. I recently got into Warhammer and was so excited when I found out there was a GW store near me. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, you can tell that the people working here are fans of the hobby with a lot of passion. The selection there is really good one side of the store is for 40k and the other is for Fantasy/Age of Sigmar. The pricing is GW pricing if you know you know. It's a little more pricey than other stuff but the quality is there for sure. Pretty much everything is the same price as it would be online and that's pretty much the same whether you're at GW or a smaller hobby store. Not everything is marked with a price so I definitely recommend asking as Warhammer isn't as straight forward as other hobbies and a small miniature might be even more expensive than a box of 10. Would love to see more painted miniatures in the displays but that's about my only recommendation, I had such a good time.”
“Nice selection of fabrics and the store is neat. Customer service is friendly and helpful. The only thing missing is price scanners. If you want to know the price of something, you have to go to the register to find out. Makes things inconvenient for the shoppers and employees.”
“Been here a few times now. Definitely has a sketchy vibe to it, as the building looks abandoned, there's almost never any cars in the rundown parking lot, and the shop is down a flight of stairs to the basement. However, don't be fooled -- a little diamond in the rough going on. Once you walk through the door, they have an impressive array of all things collectable. I've gone specifically for sports trading cards, as they have a decent selection with more each time we've gone. The staff there (and owner) talk with us each time we've gone, and are very personable. If you're looking for in-person browsing and selection over Amazon blind purchases, I highly recommend stopping in.”
“Stopped by recently and the person running the store was very helpful and brought out a bunch of singles that I could look through. I also accidentally left my toploaders there on and I was able to grab them when I showed up the next morning. Very much appreciate the staff!”
“Bought something I rarely see at my local store. My credit card didn't initially work. Then had to call and do some round about way of using my store credit card. It worked.”
“Great throwback hobby shop with tons of inventory and good prices. Store has been closed for the past week or so with no message at door or on website, I hope all is well.”
“Michael's Arts and Crafts in New Britain was formerly Office Max and their hours are Monday-Saturday 9am-9pm and Sunday 10am-7pm. I didn't buy anything from Michael's but I gave my friend a gift card to Michael's for her birthday for $25.”
“This GameStop in Meriden is not your typical GameStop but like in the best possible way. It has the welcoming vibe of a local card and game shop vibe while still having the inventory and resources of a big corporate store.
Claire is always incredibly helpful, and you can really tell she has a genuine passion for what she does. She goes out of her way to answer questions, make recommendations, and help track things down. Like even called stores to verify stock and was down on her literal knees to fix a printer so a personal more knowledgeable about a topic could answer questions
Cedric and Naomi have helped us many times as well, from teaching us different card games to working on building and supporting local gaming communities. You don’t always see that level of involvement and enthusiasm at a chain store
I’ve been to other GameStops in the area, and this one is just different ya know? Because of the atmosphere and the staff, I find myself coming here more and more. Highly recommend this location!”
“Kudo's to the staff at Michaels. My wife needed some very small brass screws to repair her jewelry case. Home Depot and Lowes did not have anything even close. We decided to try Michaels because this sort of thing may be used in some kind of craft project. They did not stock the screws either, but one of the staff suggested they had some small unfinished wooden boxes that also had small brass screws. Sure enough, the box which only cost $1.99 had the four screws that we needed! Problem solved! This solution happened because the professional staff, really knows their products.”
