“Nothing but the best experiences every time I go there. I live over an hour away and pass many other dealers to drive to this one. Staff is amazing and takes their time with you and answers questions. Highly recommend them.”
“I love this store. The person who runs it is very nice, and provides a dance teacher discount which is amazing! They carry Bloch and Capezio canvas ballet flats. I chose Capezio, which they helped me chose a size in, and they are holding up well. We were in and out in 10 minutes. Great stuff”
“It’s a very busy time of year and I found Courtney to be very helpful in the fabric section the other day when I was looking for patches for my jacket. It’s my favorite jacket that I’ve owned for several years that I wear during fall and the warmer days of winter. It’s got holes in both elbows, a tear in the lining, frayed pockets and small holes along the sea of the arm. But it still looks cool. It just needs some TLC to last another two or three winters. I was super appreciative of her help in figuring out what patches thread and glue to use. That level of service is not something you can find on Amazon.
The rest of the staff was helpful as well. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a Hobby lobby, but the prices were pretty good I felt. I also appreciated seeing some of the faith based stuff there. It’s nice to walk into a place where the people are warm and friendly, and there are signs that the company might believe in something more than just making a profit.
That was my experience anyway.”
“Just left the collector's kid and wow what a cool store. They have a wide range of old and new collector inventory. The Service was friendly and they were more than willing to answer any questions I had. Ill definitely be back maybe even tomorrow!”
“Called this store and phone was answered quickly. I asked the employee if certain citadel paint was available and he verified it was. I went to the location and was greeted quickly, I asked the employee about a figure project I was doing and he assisted me on recommendations and choose colors that would help bring the project to life. Will be back again. Thank you.”
“My wife ordered 3 skeins of yarn. It was ready right away. I couldn't pick it up until the next day. Went in, found the order sorted alphabetically in a rack at the front, grabbed it and left.... couldn't be easier.”
“I can’t say enough good things about TGS. From the owners to the staff, it’s clear they genuinely care about trading card games—and even more about the players. The moment you walk in, you’re treated like a friend, not a customer. That sense of community is rare and it’s what makes this store special.
My first experience was the Spirit Forge pre–Riftbound event. My stepson and I have played MTG for years, but we hadn’t been able to get into Riftbound due to scarcity and high prices elsewhere. TGS welcomed us in, taught us the basics, and made us feel completely at home.
Coming from Magic, I was intimidated and struggling to build my deck as time was running out. Other players immediately jumped in to help and made sure I was ready to play. That moment was unforgettable—and it only happens because of the culture this store creates.
Great people, great prices, and an incredible community. Stores like this are what keep trading card games alive.”
“This location is so nice! Very clean. Some of the shelves are a bit empty but I think it's because of the post-holiday clearance going on. Best part of my visit was the employee Eva, she was very friendly and welcoming right from the start, eager to help me find what I needed and even walked with me to show me. And she gets around the store too because I saw her again a bit later when I had more questions and she was very helpful. I just love it when I see people who genuinely enjoy their work amd take pride in giving excellent customer service. Eva deserves a raise or something! I promise I do not know this person (lol) but was really impressed and delighted by my shopping experience.”
“Everything was organized and signs were placed for finding things easier, both on eye level and from the ceiling. So, you could find exactly the item you were looking for, or just browse. We were looking for yarn, but found other things we HAD to have too.”
“Great experience using Sell4Value to sell my late father's Beanie Babies! The whole process was seamless, and the communication from Debbie was top notch. I would highly recommend using Sell4Value.”

“I normally wait until I get home to write a review but here I am writing it in the parking lot because I just couldn’t wait to gush about the amazing customer service here! Jeremy, thank you! Jeremy identified the issue I had, provided insight and recommended a course of action. He even went so far as to offer to quickly put together the solution and didn’t even charge for it! Thank you so much, I will absolutely be back at some point to buy that corvette RC body you have so that I can complete the collection I have from full size to model! ?”
“I came here for the Gunpla, was not super disappointed but I wish they had more kits. At the time I visited they had about 15 different kits, which isn't a ton. Some of the kits were very hard to find physically out in stores like the MG Freedom Ver 2.0, so that was a pleasant surprise. The kits were overpriced but on a 40% discount which equaled out to a good deal. All in all, not a bad place to pop in and check out here and there!”
“Store is laid out well. Customer service is challenging. I asked 2 different associates help with finding holiday season decorations. They both pointed ? and no help with getting me there.”
“I have been going to Gamers World Fox Valley for over a year now, participating in One Piece TCG tournaments when I am able to. The employee who runs the tournaments is always incredibly helpful, courteous, and looks out for the players. If you are looking for a new place to play, I strongly recommend.”
“This store in North Aurora sets the bar high!! Amazing management and staff always treating everyone as they are truly valued as a customer providing so much knowledge, patience and kindness! Thank you!”
