“The finest place with the finest things! Grails from the 90s to white hot new releases. Excellent LGS! Huge selection of unique minis and paints. They’ll have anything you need to get your next project done. Excellent game space with very high quality one of a kind terrain to play with. Many large high top tables and private rooms. Cool customer loyalty program that has been going for 15+ years. A true gem! Thank you! PS- The staff is awesome and receptive to checking stock within reason, don’t be one star guy who didn’t get his Pokemon that one time ? The boxes just hit different at G+ Be sure to stop in to preorder early in this crazy market”

“Mike was so welcoming. As first timers, my boyfriend and I were a little apprehensive on how to begin our journey in Warhammer. Mike explained paint types and techniques to get us through our paint & take session. Great store!”
“This place has just about everything to cover any art project or passion you may have. My wife was there to look at clay and glazes for her pottery hobby. The staff was knowledgeable and what they didn't know for sure, they helped us look it up. We will be back!!”
“I've been coming here for almost a decade. Originally as a board game collector but more recently as a Warhammer player. Excellent store for many different kinds of games and the staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Also a great spot for Magic the Gathering and other card games.
My go to gaming store for a long time!”
“Walked in today to look for soccer cards with my 10yr old son who wants to start collecting them. Multiple employees were busy when we walked in but we stood around and waited for them to finish. My son decided what box he wanted. The workers then went on to help people who came in after us. One employee walked right past us to help someone who must be a regular customer. Then another employee was walking around picking boxes off the shelf and bringing them in back. We decided to find a place that has better customer service.
Update. Gave it another chance much better service and got what we needed fast.”
“Large store of new snd used HO, O and N scale trains as well as models kits of all kinds. Huge wall of detail parts may have what you need if you come ready to dig and look”
“I love how they make military style legos vehicles, tanks, planes and mini figs. Very friendly and nice. Great service. Answered all my questions. The only bad part is the sets are expensive. I would go back again”
“Excellent selection of trains, accessories, track, and even toys for the kids. Train service and support was excellent and the guys are helpful and knowledgeable all around. I am a kid again. Thank you. Ceiling layout is complete, just 1 more tweak remains.”
“Please, for the love of God, place your orders at this store. Drive the extra miles to avoid the Kildeer store. Nothing has ever been more worth it.
The Kildeer store is where joy, hope, and any semblance of an even semi-well run business go to die. I regret it more than marrying my ex-husband.
Inventory online is so wildly off-base it feels like an attempt to rage-bait customers. The employees are furious you've dared to enter the store and ask benign questions, like whether they can honor an online price (the managers of many stores will, recognizing putting in a pickup order and making them put it together takes more employee effort and is less economically efficient).
If I'm a bad person in this life, when I die, I will go to the Kildeer Michael's. It is eternal damnation.
The Schaumburg Michael's on Golf Road is INCREDIBLE. The employees are happy to help and will even make suggestions for additional items, which always end up making my projects better and making the store more money. When I place orders for pickup- miracle of miracles!- the order is actually available and hassle-free.
If I'm a good person, and don't take out my rage by complaining endlessly about how the Kildeer shop is the 7th circle of Dante's hell, I will go to the Schaumburg Michael's location when I die.”
“Cool little spot. Took my 6 year old boy for 30 minutes and he loved it. They charge $5/15 minutes of racing and have better deals if you own your own car. Staff was friendly, helpful, and didn’t mind answering all my weird questions on the hobby.”
“This store is overly crowded with stuff. There isn't room to pass another person in the isles let alone 2 carts. The shelves are disorganized. Probably because there is so much stuff. Almost seems like a horder store.”

“Always helped me find what I'm looking for. (If in stock). Glad i found this place. Especially when grieving, My best friend took me there earlier in the week, days before my grandma's funeral. I'll enjoy it while I can. Sadly the mall is going to close the store without notice at any given moment
I live out of town so I try to go here while visiting my grandpa.”

“I decided to get a new rc car and could easily order online but I don't like waiting so I drove 30 minutes just to see what this store have, the car that I wanted was in stock different color I asked if I could open the box to see it but since is factory sealed he say no, so I look at pictures on line and I ended getting it, he hook me up with battery and charger, over all it was a pleasant experience looking forward to come back soon.”
“Very orderly and organized. There were no service members on site, but that was fine because I didn’t need any assistance with my purchase. There are plenty of kiosks to check out.”
“Stock a little low but totally understandable given current market craziness. Prices actually very reasonable. Will definitely be returning when things cool off to start stacking again.”
