“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!!”
“Costa and Matthew are always so knowledgeable and helpful! This is the only coin shop ive been to that I feel like I'm getting an honest fair deal and always learn something new every time I stop in.”
“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!”
“I'm a plastic airplane builder and collector and like to check out any shop that has aircraft kits. While Ron's Mundelein Hobbies doesn't have a huge inventory of plastic kits there's a full 4x8 section of aircraft that did not disappoint!
It's not too hard to find a Tamiya 1/32 Spit... But it is hard to find one at a reasonable price! I couldn't pass up the chance to finally buy one.
There are several out of production Accurate Miniatures (B-25) and Eduard (Spit Mk.VIII and Mk.IX) kits there... and a Monogram 1/48 B-58! (As of 05/07/2026)
There is another section of armor and vehicles, several nice ships, and a sci-fi section I'll need to check out next time.”
“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.”
“Went in for first time on a whim looking for very specific vintage comics, and Charlie came through for me! Got all the ROM: Spaceknight I was looking for, and was also able to cross a bunch of MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE off my buylist. Charlie is very friendly and knowledgeable, has great taste in music, and made great business cards. A treat to have visited!!!”

“I have purchased many sets from the store. The owner always looks happy and there's always cool events going on! My girlfriend never was interested and with the free mini he gave me on my first purchase and with the free minis of the month that I have aquired she now paints them and has fun doing so!”
“I’ve been here a couple times now and the same 2 employees I see are very nice and really helpful and gave me lots of recommendations and helped me out every chance they got”
“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 adore Ellie and the team at The Forest Needle. They are incredibly warm and welcome to beginner stitchers and gave me such a personal shopping experience. They have everything you need, and its so fun to go in and see all the wonderful pieces the team have created and show in the store!”
“Michael's is the place to go for balloons and other party favorites. Very reasonable and you will be greeted with a smile. Im recommended Michael's to everyone I know!!!”
“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.”

“Most best experiment my life I love the RC cars and other stuff. They have there when we when I buy one for my son he loved it so much that he stopped playing on his phone like he never does and guess I could buy the other RC cars when we took them there”
“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.”
“The birthday party here was really fun. We had a group of 7/8 year olds and they all had a blast with the tie-dye and making the bracelets. The only suggestion I would make is maybe for the Michael’s party lead to demonstrate how to wrap the shirts first, and maybe a quick demonstration for exactly how much to the soak the shirts with the dye. Thankfully I have done tie dye before and knew to spiral the shirts for that pattern. We would do a party here again and recommend for a fun time and easy clean up!”
“Fantastic selection of reserve list mtg cards! The employees were super helpful, kind and very knowledgeable. Prices were really reasonable and they even do trades and collection buy outs. Very happy I came by and I ended up finding my grail which was amazing!”

“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!”
“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.”

“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.”
