“What a Blast! Visited here with my son on his birthday. Staff was super nice and very knowledgable. It was certainly a trip down memory lane! (He's 23 now)BIONICLES FOREVER”
“Great train supplies. BUT MAKES A COMPANY GOOD?
Is the staff.. staff is assisting me trying to make a train platform into a mini 1 pier Navy base.. nobody ever seen 1.. all train platform are of small town community or scenic AMERICA.
trying a change of pace.. maybe 1 day at competitions my ideas might be used..staff getting materials and trying to come up with ideas”
“Very nice! Seemed well organized & the staff was pleasant. There was also a dog there for a fundraiser when I went, so that might've colored my experience a bit more positively.”
“The advent of online shopping is slowly killing the small store, so to find one still in operation is such a rarity and a real blast of nostalgia for people within a certain age bracket. The owner tries to open up by 12:00 most days and having reached a venerable age serving the model enthusiasts of his community has certainly earned the right to this eccentricity. For a relatively small property there is a good stock to browse through. Being a tourist from the UK I can hardly become a regular customer, but I can at least urge any model makers in the Chadds Ford ,Pa area to pay a visit, chat with the owner for a while and buy a few items however small. One day soon we will no longer be able just go look for something interesting and talk with someone of such experience.”
“This establishment has done plenty to reinvigorate my interest in cómic books with Cobra Commander #1 by Image/Skybound. I could go into a detailed 5-star review of that brilliant update on a franchise villain, but that is another story. Whoever the cashier was between 12 and 1 on January 17, 2024 was also quite friendly and professional. After you are done exploring this place, go check out the neighboring Hibachi Chinese Buffet. They have a great deal for vegans with their avocado sushi and garlic-marinated eggplant.”
“I’ve brought my children to this location and few times, and the staff is always top tier. But I recently had the most amazing service from Lisa, who has been super helpful in updating me regarding the availability on one particular bear that my child has begged for, but was never in stock due to high demand. Lisa kept in communication with me letting me know that they did not have it in stock yet, and when it will most likely be available. She was just so kind, I can’t say that enough. She was super proactive about helping me find this for my kid, as if it meant just and much to her as it did for me. This has honestly been one of the best customer service experiences I have had in a while. If there is someone in upper management reading this, please know that Lisa is an amazing employee who really cares about your customers. Give her a raise, a promotion or SOMETHING, because employees like her do not come around often.”
“I love this place. Very clean. Lots of books and magazines. My only gripe is the escalators. Sometimes they work. Other times they become stairs lol. They have a huge kid section on the 2nd floor if you have kids. I wish their horror selection was bigger and their Paranormal section. Other than that it's awesome. Excellent service too. Very friendly and helpful staff. The bathrooms are on the second floor in your left hand side when you get off the escalator. They got good food at the lil cafe downstairs. It's also on the left hand side. They also have games, toys, action figures etc. They also have DVDs and Blu rays upstairs on the right hand side. They also have a travel section thats by the cookbooks. Kinda behind the escalators. That's all I got for now.”
“EVERY visit is splendid and I feel welcomed and assisted by the lovely ladies of Claire's! Cheyanne and Nina are an absolute joy and I never hesitate to visit another store when I am in need of a wonderful experience and variety of jewelry! Ya'll are the best!”
“trading card stores have a certain vibe to them. Usually on the smaller side, often smelling of BO from years of customers. I’ve been to the AU Yugioh regionals in Philly over the years and they’ve always been run well. Coming to AU Wilmington felt just the same. Deals table as you walk in. Singles case is priced well with a date listed from when the price was put up. Prices are fair and their selection of sleeves is standard albeit they were out of Dragon Shield Classic Whites when I came in. Top loader provided for free when you purchase cards from the singles case. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly as well. This store having no yugioh locals on weekends was a bit whack but maybe that’s just the player base ?
*Realized I reviewed another AU store-accidentally at first * as not from the area”

“Nice prices, super organized, staff is very helpful & friendly. Will definitely be back to shop for my 7 month old son & 2 nieces due in October & December!! :)”
“I like this store but lately have found selection to be a little lacking. Staff is nice. Store is clean but there is more merch and bobbles than actual games and game accessories.”
“Everything in this site used to be$5. But now they sell for $5&up so you can find really nice items for a really great price. Items that elsewhere would cost so much more. Last year i bought a little1-2 person inflatable boat that came with the oars! And it was so fun at the local state park in the small pond there. And decorating my teen's room who wants to change things weekly is no problem at all when shopping here. My husband is always buying those strips of lihts powered by usb. Thanks to this store, we dint go over our budget and we can still get all kinds of trendy things for our home& car. Also getting ready for outside picnic and BBQ time is easy matching sets for cooking& eating. This was the first year i could afford to buy several yard games so our family had memories that'll last a lifetime. When i was in line to pay, i couldn't believe how fast the line moved. I was checking out all the candy they sell. They had things i haven't seen for years. It brought back so many memories. And i think i was the same price i paid so many years ago. The only problem i had here was that i wiil have to wait until next payday to shop for more. Did i Mention that they have the perfect makeup section too. Perfect for the younger generation plus bath& body spa stuff for me.”
