“This is the second time I’ve ordered from this store & both experiences exceeded expectations! The first time, I was looking for a specific product. It was shown on their website, but currently out of stock (in the middle of the supply chain issues). I called to check when/if it would be back in stock and their communication was stellar! They let me know that it had been ordered and kept me apprised of subsequent delays.The second time I ordered (today), I was given the option of free local delivery as one of the shipping methods. The gift appeared at my door wrapped complimentary.Both experiences, the people who work here couldn’t be nicer; they truly understand the value of good customer service!”

“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!”

“My nephew Enzo is visiting from California to spend his 14th Birthday in Chicago. We attended the Lego Convention then we went to Woodfield to search for a specific set but couldn’t find it there. The wonderful Manager at Woodfield called the Northbrook location and we were able to order the set my Nephew Enzo was looking for. We arrived at the Lego Store in Northbrook and felt very Welcomed by the staff:Mery, Elizabeth and Cameron made my nephew’s day. From the moment we stepped into the store, the wonderful staff greeted us with smiles and made us feel that we were the only customers in the world. ❤️♥️But the truth is every family and child that walked were treated in such a special way.Thank you Cameron, Mery and Elizabeth for making my nephews Birthday special”

“We were a few minutes late for our appointment since we aren’t from the area and I wasn’t aware of the parking situation. I was willing to wait for the next opening but thankfully Stacy offered to cut my 3 year old’s hair. She took her time and gave me so many helpful tips on how to maintain my daughter’s very curly hair. I already see a massive difference in her hair from following her advice, my daughters hair is so much healthier and easier to style. We will definitely be coming back here, thank you Stacy!”

“Amazing experience!! There was this blue hair lady call Queen and she was wonderful. She was so helpful and positive. There were a couple people in the store who also needed help and she was the only person in the floor actually actively helping everyone with such a good attitude. My girlfriend and I loved her so much! She really deserves a raise in our opinion”

“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.”

“I refer to this place as Snickerdoodles bc it always gets a fun reaction from my kids. Overall, big selection of toys and nice curation. I really like that they wrap toys for gifts. It's worth any full price or mark up to me to have it wrapped. At times the sales folks have made me a tinge uncomfortable. Kind of comes off as overbearing and I get some stares. I still drive an hour to Naperville to another locally owned toy shop whenever possible bc I tend to feel more welcomed there. Here, there is a bit of a weird vibe. Still, nice to have as a local option.”

“The salesperson here was amazing! Super knowledgeable, helpful, not pushy in any way. Within 10 minutes she helped us figure out what we were looking for and informed us of how to get a $100 voucher too. Great place to look for strollers, car seats, some cribs, toys, and accessories. FYI they do NOT have baby carriers”

“I've lived in the area all my life and use to go to the barnes in the mall. That Barnes was cluttered and hard to navigate. This new one is beautifuly organized and free flowing. The staff are friendly and put a smile on my face breath of fresh air. This is the best corporate book store you can go to in the area. Wide selection of books and a great vinyl selection. Happy I went and checked it out. Whomever runs this store kudos”

“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.”

“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.”

“Best customer service! I cannot wait to shop here again. This was an online order, new vendor for me. I placed my order, great prices. One item out of stock and I received a phone call. On the actual phone. Really. It was followed by an email. My items shipped the same day and I had them the next day (same state, different city). Items were great. Thanks for the great service!”

“I came here looking for a specific calendar. They did not have it in stock, but found it at another location. They had it transfered to this store for me. I was very happy with how the staff treated me. Thanks to them I have a happy family.”
