“The LEGO store is one of the coolest stores in the world! You do not have to be a kid or have kids or even know kids to love the Lego store!, Most Engineers started out playing with Lego! you can buy individual bricks in the brick wall, you can buy Custom made Lego Minifigures! You've got to check this place out, it's fantastic! The people that work there are some of the most friendly and helpful people you'll ever find in any retail setting!”

“Walked in not really knowing what I wanted but knowing that I wanted to get back into RC cars. Alex took the time to walk me through all that was new and made some great recommendations on what to look for. Decided on a new Traxxas Stampede, but wanted more power so both Alex and Gary helped to upgrade the motor and ESC, get new 3S battery packs and had me ready for some fun! Got the unit home, charged up the packs and took it for a rip...AWESOME!! The level of service and help from these two guys was second to known! They know their stuff extremely well, and are great at offering advise. This is THE place to shop for all your hobby needs!!”

“Absolutely love this shop! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, everything is beautifully organized and fairly easy to reach and see. I appreciated that they paid attention to what I was getting so they could direct me on where to find similar types of thread. I'm still learning a lot, and I learn something new every time I go!”

“Used the "order on line, pick up in store" option for some wreath hangers. There was an online special, so I got a deal on purchasing something I needed, and the item was ready when I got off of work and arrived at the store. Was an easy and painless process overall. Employees were friendly, too!”

“Always come here for my Twice albums (and sometimes others)! I just wish we could get the Japan albums here, as well. I never know where to go online to get them, so it'd be awesome if they carried them in store.”

“don't quite understand the unpleasant reviews about Mr. Bergman(bergie) I've purchased from him MANY times and have had mostly pleasant interactions, maybe he has to be a certain way in a hobby we're everyone believes they "know more" or has different ideas of what memorabilia is worth, I'll continue to do business with the person who's been doing it longer!”

“Very nice. Just avoid one guy named Dale. Very self absorbed and likes to try to prove his knowledge under a guise of playing like he’s helping you. Otherwise a great place for slot-car’ing.”

“Tidy, well-stocked, and no wait at all to check out! Several staff members were helpful, and the lady at check-out was really friendly. I forgot her name. But she was cheerful and didn't mind that I had to try a few phone numbers before I remembered the one linked to my rewards card. Plenty of parking. Quick and easy visit today.”

“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.”

“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!”

“First time at this location. Note that the main photos shown are old. They told me that they don’t bring hardly any plushies in anymore and their focus is more on figures. They have a huge selection of sh figuarts and figma and then some other really cool statutes (non posable). They also have other anime knickknack things, if you’re a anime nerd this place is for you.”

“I love this place! The accessories for mini-figures were especially great, high quality products at really good prices. Steve the owner was very passionate and excited to share everything the store had to offer as well as their custom services. Ideal for a LEGO hobbyist who doesn't want to stress about breaking the bank while upgrading their collection.”
