“Jennifer, you're the shit! The kids in the evening were also pretty great. I am chronically ill as well as being sick at the moment, and they all ran around the store to find the very last of an item while I rested at the register <3
I *LOVE* how many Legos are carried now!!! I'm very excited to see if Blocktech is going to come out with new succulent and flower lines this year :)
Company question, why is there only a complaint line through corporate? I had to leave my compliments for Jennifer and her team with the complaint dept. That's not going to inspire loyalty in your staff, or customers obviously. Please make it easy to leave compliments where they belong! And maybe give that girl a raise”
“I am from California and every summer I come to visit a friend. This place is ALWAYS the highlight of my trip. The owner is a great guy who’s more than happy to stand around and swap stories about nerdy stuff while offering a great choice of toys at prices that are beyond fair. 5 stars, I’ll see you next year during my visit!”

“My daughter and I stopped by Mr. Wayne's shop yesterday and were blown away by how helpful and eager to please the staff was.
In a world where people are so unconnected and hurried and anonymous, Mr. Wayne's made our very brief visit so incredibly personal, meaningful and memorable.
Thank you for reminding me --- and for teaching my 11-year-old, Maddie – that good people are out there and still do things for the sake of being kind.
Now, some words from Maddie:
Dear Mr. Wayne,
Thank you so much for the Funko Pops! For me it was very special because me and my Mom finally completed our mission and found a great place to come back to for more! The hole drive home I was so happy and talked about them the hole way home! Thank you so much and we WILL be coming back!”
“Fair Game, Downers Grove, offers a wide variety of table top games. I have purchased games for my family and for my classroom. The employees are super knowledgeable and can always help me find just the right game. I love this place!”
“A big shout out to Bill from Lombard Hobbies. He converted my DC Atlas Trainman® Plus NRE Genset II Locomotive to DCC. Awesome shop with awesome people. Thank you once again Bill for your help.”
“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!”
“Shannon deserves mass credit and a RAISE. She went above and beyond helping me secure a vinyl that two other B&N could not. I mean this employee looked & looked & looked and talked to me during the search process. A great person and employee. Shannon I hope you have an amazing day and thank you again for your help.”
“Great place to visit especially for train enthusiasts and modelers, friendly people and very helpful too, I’ve gotten a few models from there and brought in some for repair”
“I love this shop with its great selection of trains, models, and toys.
The staff are particularly knowledgeable about plastic model kits, tools, and supplies.
America's Best is one of my favorite Chicago area shops.”
“THIS PLACE IS THE BEST. My husband and I visited on a random Wednesday, just to see what we could find. We easily spent 45 minutes here (but honestly, you could probably spend over an hour, depending on how much you like nostalgia). If you love Star Wars and Marvel, this is the place for you. I, being a Disney nerd, found some cool Disney memories here (old school Happy Meal toys!). Great record selection, too! A Ron, the owner, is a kind, down to earth guy, who obviously knows what's up! We can't wait to visit again, and are so grateful places like this exist!”
“They’re super nice they usually let us go back and look at everything since it’s a lot of stuff they have. Went today for the Mother’s Day sale and got 3 things for only $9!”
“Fairytales—I love the store.. from the friendly staff to Wee Forest Folks.. Steiff.. Jellycats.. just about any gift u would need for a special occasion or treat yourself.. The store is wheelchair accessible which is nice since I have a daughter in a wheelchair.. If u have never been, now is the time to go or u can order on line.. Definitely a five star store and staff..Thank u , i will definitely be back..”
“Andrea was extremely helpful and knowledgeable! I walked in just to browse and plan out an eventual purchase. She helped me go over several different models! Then, when my spouse was done shopping downstairs, we came right back up to purchase! Bravo!”

“If you are anxious to get your child’s first haircut as I was, just book with Ms. Sydney. She is so great at her job that my son was smiling whole appointment, it went smooth for us and the style is perfect even we let her do it by her reccomendation. Best at her job. Thanks again Ms Sydney cant wait to have another haircut with you.”
“With the whole squishy, Needoh, dumpling craze - I have found myself in this learning express more times in the last 2 months than I would like to admit. But, my 4 kids love it - so we are here on the regular. I have found the staff members to be incredibly kind, respectful, and helpful - even after the hundreds of questions my kids (ages 10 and under) askthem. I can’t imagine what the learning express team puts up with on a daily basis, with all of these kids coming in throughout the day - but they seem to always have smiles on their faces nonetheless. Highly recommend this little shop, if not for s dumpling/needoh/squishy toy - maybe for one of the awesome other gifts they offer!”
“Staff was friendly store was clean! Lots of parking. Great location! They had so much good stuff in stock including the new popular squishies. The most I’ve seen yet! It was an amazing experience. I would def recommend stopping by here if you have the chance!”
“Great Store Always Stocked. Very clean AC works . Great Deals . Welcoming Staff. Thank y'all . Management is doing a great job
Neighborhood Walmart indeed ?”
“I had a question regarding an online order I placed, so I messaged them and they responded right away. Item was shipped out quickly and arrived well-packaged and in excellent condition.”
“This is a good store to go to if you’re shopping for calendars. Make sure you go when they are heavily discounted. I went today and it was 75% off. We were able to get two calendars for $6.73. Besides calendars, they also have puzzles, board games, etc. I recommend checking them out. Just a FYI, they do open later than some of the other stores. On Sundays, they opened at noon. Service was good. It’s located close to the kiddie haircut place.”
“Omg I couldn’t be happier shopping here, every employee is beyond nice and professional. Special thanks to Diana for always helping me w/out hesitation fulfilling my shopping needs, YOU ROCK??????”
