“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!”
“Enough fun stuff to make it worth the effort. A bit far for me but if you’re in the area, stop in and make a deal or two. Nice selection and a layout in the back. Rc. trains and seenics”
“Sold some coins. Very normal and quick process , minimum paperwork, in and out in 5 American minutes; and prices they gave are quite normal as well. I have been into metals long before most of you who are buying gold bars in Costco these days. I bought and sold, from and to brick and mortar stores. Costa's is fine, perfectly fine. Hopefully will do more business in the future. And if you think dealing with online folks like Apmex or JM or Provident better in terms of prices, good luck. Buying won't be cheaper unless you buy large quantities. Then trying to sell to them, whole different matter and pain in terms of logistics and prices too. Price per ounce, sure ?. Any dealer has to have a larger spread then simple bid and ask for spot price.”
“I called looking for Yupo Translucent Paper on 11 x 15. They didn't have that size but a smaller alternative and put it aside for me to pick up. Once I arrived, I quickly received the paper that we discussed.
However, I asked about other translucent options. The staff that helped me was delightful. They listened to my needs and offered several alternatives. In the end, I purchased a different medium that better suited my needs.
As I said, the staff catered to my requests. The store was clean and provided a multitude of options.”
“I am so glad I finally found this place! It is getting harder to find a shop that will actually refill a 5lb CO2 tank on-site rather than just forcing a swap, so this was a huge win. The gentleman who helped me was great, and I was honestly impressed by the variety and quality of inventory they have in stock. It’s clear why they’ve been a staple in the area for over a decade. Highly recommend stopping in if you want to support a great local business with solid expertise. I’ll definitely be back!”
“Even though I don’t do needlepoint, I love going to Emily’s Stitchery. I do embroidery and love their threads and notions. How lucky we are to have such a lovely store in our area.”
“The owner Charlie has an in depth knowledge of the comic book industry. Truly only a few of many authentic comic book stores out there and Dreamland delivers. Came in to trade some old comics and came out with a vintage Pokemon card. Great environment. Thank you”
“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”
“Great guys there that know a lot, especially Gary. My trucks servo broke the 1st day and I brought it back in and Gary installed a new servo that was better quality. Works awesome now!”

“The store is not close to me, but it has always been worth the extra time to make it out here. Chris, the manager, is mentioned in several of these reviews, and for good reason. He makes the atmosphere comforting that anyone, new or old, feels appreciated when they walk through the door.”
“I always love visiting The Forest Needle! The store is so sunny and the ladies that work there are so knowledge and friendly. I just picked up a finished project and I am so happy with the way it turned out! Thank you!”
“Frank is extremely knowledgeable and offers great prices on your scrap gold/silver and silver coins. Even though I move further west, I still make the trip out to the shop. One of the best in the Chicagoland area.”
“I would like share my experience today with an exceptional employee at this location. Pedro is his name and works in the framing department. He spent so much time with me trying to get my photos from my phone to a canvice picture. Unfortunately it was not going to work in the size I wanted. I'm still going to work on other options he suggested. Great customer serve. Hopefully I can work with Pedro again.”
“My son and I bought his first model last week. The type you break off and glue together, piece by piece. Super excited to start it. We downloaded a 20% off coupon in store and saved about $5.”
“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.”
“Nice place but those self service machines are not so comfortable to use as supposed to. You definitely need to talk to associate a couple times before checkout.”
“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.”
“My family and I went to buy some loose Pokemon cards that my sons were interested in. The cards that they wanted were very random and consisted of Pokemon using all different energies as well as Trainers. The owner Jester was there and he was extremely helpful, helping us find over 30 of the cards that they were looking through by going through binders and loose cards in a box, which was extremely tedious. We've been to many Gamers Worlds where the employees running the store seem like they couldn't care less about their customers. We were fortunate to have the exact opposite experience here and want to thank Jester so much for his kindness and patience!”

“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.”
