Hobby Shops
“The owners are incredibly nice and welcoming. They host game nights for most popular card games, and even have board game nights where you can use their large collection of board games. The community of people who frequent the store are great to sit down and play with. You would be missing out if you didn’t visit at least once.”
“Was just passing through the area and found this great little toy and card shop. It was great! They had amazing prices and a nice e selection of Funko pops and other items. And I rarely see card shops in my area that do a lot of pokemon card events so to see one in another area was really cool. Its nice to see people who enjoy the game. I would stop by again if I ever pass through”
“Fantastic variety of kits to build and paint. Very knowledgeable and skilled staff to help teach about building and painting kits. Training in game play too. Prices were a little higher than can be bought online, but knowledge from staff can't be bought online. Great hands on skills.Very specific gaming store.”
“Not an in store shopper, but I had a buddy tell me his local game store (ABU) had a great online store and shipped. I looked for cards for a deck I was looking to build and sure enough ABUs prices were not only better than the large warehouse sites, but they had everything I was looking for. 100 singles purchased with a couple other accessories and the order was at my door in a week! Everything looked great on arrival. Foils were penny sleeved and sealed separately. Care was put into the packaging. Will be buying again, thanks ABU Games!”
“I'm new to the hobby, and recently checked out this store. Jerry was very happy to answer my million questions and helped me find some great products to purchase. Prices on all new boxes seemed at or below prices directly from the manufacturer. Will definitely be making future visits.”
“These guys are the best, helpful informative fun ,and their masters at what they do. it's always a good time in the store everybody's joking with everybody but doing a good job I'd recommend this place to anybody. In fact I think I'll just make excuses to go in there and see them. The best in customer service.”
“The best place to get Gunpla in ALL of Boise. When I first entered, I was shocked by how they casually have P-Bandai limited Gunpla kits on their shelves, along with their massive selection of MG’s, PG’s, and HG’s and non-gundam models. They also have many Gundam action figures, such as Robot Spirits and Gundam Universe.Would definitely come back for more.”
“I love this Michaels! I've had numerous stops here the past couple months to make DIYs for my wedding. Whenever I order online, they have the order ready for me within just a few hours. They're so quick, and the process to pick up your online orders is so seamless. There was a mixup of paint colors with one of my last online orders, but it wasn't a big deal. You can find just about anything here to satisfy your crafting needs, and everyone you encounter here is extremely friendly!”
“I have always enjoyed Michael's and their selection is fairly good. Not the biggest craft store you will see but usually can find what you need. Depending on the time of year, stock can be a little spotty but nothing too noteworthy. The store is usually clean, shelves are neatly organized. Staffing seems relatively minimal but I have not directly had much of a need to ask anyone for something. The self checkouts have been a little strange to get use to but seem to work pretty well. I have been able to use the rewards programs and add coupons and vouchers myself with no issues.”
“The selection of games and collectibles is unprecedented. The staff are lovely people who are willing to help you around and they create the most accepting environment for everyone. I will be coming back”
