“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.”
“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)”
“Solid prices for sealed product and all singles are at market. I've found them to be the best priced store for singles in the area.
It's hit or miss on how approachable/findable the staff are. If you make enough noise someone is sure to come out and help you.”
“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.”

“Friendly staff and loads of product. Parking can be tricky, and there's not a lot of space inside. Worth a stop of your in the area, or, if you're like me, you need something, and it's completely sold out online. 😅”
“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.”
“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.”
“We have a business selling & teaching the painting of Ceramics. We can get most of Our supplies from Michael's.
We've been helped by Harmony (her name!) the last two times, & she's Wonderful!!
She pointed out locations of products, advised Us on prices, & offered suggestions!”
“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.”
“I can't tell you about much, but if you're in the market for yarn specifically; this is your ONLY stop. No one else will have the same massive size of selection other than online and you can't feel the yarn online, just saying”
“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.”
“Bill went through some old coins I had accumulated. He was very knowledgeable. He took his time explaining the differences in values. Very trustworthy. Would recommend”
