“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”
“Brought in coins from my dad’s collection. I tried to find out the cost of coins on my own and was overwhelmed. Then didn’t even know how to begin to sell them. Went to Oakton Coins and Collectables. They went through them and gave me a price. We sold to them and trusted they were being fair! I’ll probably never know but made that deco to sell to them. Hard to part with my dad’s collection but we lived in Oakton for my entire youth and young adult life. Maybe meant to be.”
“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”
“Have been there twice bringing in coins and jewelry along with my elderly mother. Marc took care of us and I highly recommend him and his staff. Trustworthy, patient, knowledgeable and extremely helpful!”
“This is one of my favorite gaming stores because of their excellent selection of board games, warhammer 40k stuff, figurines, you name it, but what I am into most lately is the DCC (Dungeon Crawler Classics) series, and Heroines keeps a good stock of individual campaigns and some of the larger DCC box sets available. The owner and staff are always friendly, and the space is much larger on the inside than it looks, making it a good venue for the events they have scheduled (the store is located inside what used to be a public library branch). They also have a decent selection of books and graphic novels, many of which are fantasy or scifi oriented.”
“Love this cozy airplane shop. The owner is super nice and I love going through the many diecast airplanes he has on his store. I'm glad to see a store like this still exist and I will definitely stop by again the next time I'm in Chicago area. Highly recommended to all!”
“Rich's collectibles has a wide selection of many different collectibles and the owner is very friendly too. It's the perfect spot to find gifts for yourself or others at a great deal! Prices are very fair! Will be back again!”
“Discovered this shop after a coworker told me about it. We where amazed by all the items and tools, even found some things i needed. Sad to hear about the closure of the store, sad i didnt get to experience Tom Thumb in its prime, but will make as many visits as i can until the end”
“Amazing place! Our 12 year old son has been shopping there since he was 7. The selection is truly great, and they are willing to work with different options for a collector who doesn't have vast amounts of money to spend on every stop. Lucas, John and the rest of the team have created a warm atmosphere and allow him to shop at his own pace. Truly worth the drive from Milwaukee. Thanks!!”

“Absolutely recommend 100%. I was tasked by my grandma to have a doll restrung. I was about to ship it to another company for much much more $$$. I didn’t know so I assumed that’s what it costs. I confirmed the address to ship it to and that company never responded. I reached out to GIGI’s. Emailed me back quickly. Very reasonable price. Told me how to ship it. Was returned fixed to me within about a week. Was very happy with it. The doll owner is very happy as well?.”
“Very happy with the customer service. My daughter and I were there today and they were very patient showing her all the different silver bars and rounds for her to make her first purchase. Wish I knew about this shop earlier vs others in the area. 10/10 will be back”
“Operated by two incredibly passionate and kind individuals who are incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. When we visited we got to learn about the smithing process and the history of the weapons. We even got to learn some basic dueling techniques with training blades. An amazing experience through and through.”

“A friend of mine is a regular customer here - and his birthday is around the corner. I figured I’d check it out to see if there might be a piece I could purchase as a gift. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable - they made us feel welcomed and no pressure to buy. Enjoyable experience and great selection.”

“Jane is always so helpful to me and I love far away so we communicate on the phone and email. She helps me with my custom belt orders and the finishing is always so beautiful for my ornaments!”
“We picked up a Pokémon Center 151 ETB and a Crown Zenith ETB from this shop and had a great experience. I actually called right after they had closed the day before, and he still answered and kindly asked me to call back the next day. When we came in, he was super friendly, easy to work with, and gave us a great deal on both ETBs.
We’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Bergie! We were finally able to add the missing ETB to our personal collection. My cousin shops here for sports cards and has always said he gets great deals, and now I can see why.”
“The store is not close to me, but it has always been worth the extra time to make it out here. Chris, the manager, is mentioned in several of these reviews, and for good reason. He makes the atmosphere comforting that anyone, new or old, feels appreciated when they walk through the door.”

“This shop deserves even more than 5 stars ? ++++++
Shout out to FRED for his patience, honesty, and expert advice that he shared with me during my visit today.
Not only is their selection of items amazing (I had such a a hard deciding what to get!) but also their prices and customer service was better than all the other coin shops that I’ve been to.
100% would recommend to anyone looking for knowledgeable and honest dealers. very happy with my transactions and glad I made the trip out.”
“I wonder if there’s anything different between Hobby Lobby and Michael’s art store. They seemed to sell similar things. 10 days before Christmas and Hobby Lobby is already having 60% off Christmas stuffs?
Maybe Hobby Lobby is a hair cheaper but also the interior is slightly darker and can use a remodeling.”
“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!”
“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.”
“I found gold and silver letters I thought we're cool but $20 a piece for the gold and $10 a piece for the silver? Take a picture instead it's cheaper...”
“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.”

“Michaels is a really great art store you can get just about anything. I’m trying to find things on sale because if they’re not on sale, they’re kind of pricey, but you can get anything in the world. They are a great supplier especially for crafts if you are in the craft, this is the place now one thing they claim is that they purchased the rights or something to do with JoAnn fabrics and they claim they have a big section of fabric and they don’t. It’s very it’s too very, very short aisles of fabric and most of it is fabric that you would use to make on children’s clothes it’s literally one 100 of what you would find in a JoAnn fabrics store now they have like three aisles of yarn so good for that but not much in the way of fabric”
“????☘️??
Such a great selection, clean& organized.. They have the best employees for example Scott went above and beyond to help me in my kids with our Christmas decor.
Thank you, Scott!!!
Great holiday decor ????☘️??”
“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!”
“Always helped me find what I'm looking for. (If in stock). Glad i found this place. Especially when grieving, My best friend took me there earlier in the week, days before my grandma's funeral. I'll enjoy it while I can. Sadly the mall is going to close the store without notice at any given moment
I live out of town so I try to go here while visiting my grandpa.”

“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.”
