522 W Wise Rd, Schaumburg“As an avid Lego fan, I had seen videos on Brickmania and was excited to experience it for myself. The business is exactly as advertised. Hundreds, if not thousands of custom kits and prints accurately reflecting militaries around the world and across history.I love to support specialty Lego stores, but I am not much of a military history fan, so I really struggled to find something to purchase.The staff were extremely friendly and knew their products well. They let me use the bathroom and packaged each of my purchases in separate baggies to prevent damage.A good experience overall, and I look forward to visiting the other locations when I can.”
“I recently had the pleasure of selling my coin collection at Arlington Coin, and the experience exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the staff's professionalism was evident.The owner took the time to thoroughly assess every coin in my collection, demonstrating a genuine passion and knowledge for numismatics. His meticulous approach instilled confidence, and I felt reassured that my collection was in capable hands.What sets Arlington Coin apart is not just their expertise but also their commitment to fair dealing. The offered price for my collection reflected a careful evaluation of each coin's rarity and condition. I appreciated the transparency in the process, making the transaction both smooth and satisfying.Arlington Coin is a trustworthy establishment that values its customers and their collections. If you're considering selling or buying coins, I highly recommend giving them a visit. The blend of expertise, fairness, and courteous service makes Arlington Coin a standout choice in the numismatic community.”

“Place is great!! It's a artists dream. Carries everything from paint, pastels, spray paint, markers etc!! I found the place to carry everything you need to complete a project. Enjoy!!”
“When the cashier asked if I found everything needed, I had said no. I could not find a frame to match a specific painting. She said that it might work to try for a bigger frame and mat. She suggested I go and explain what I was looking for in the framing department. The lady in the framing dept said we could get a bigger frame, and she could customize cut the mat. It could not have been better. The two women were wonderful. It turned out so good that we are going to get an art light to highlight it.”

“I just purchased 2 sets of dice and an MTG single and I am honestly blown away. I just checked my email and saw that the emailed receipt included pictures of the exact dice I bought and the single. I'm sure you were able to download and adapt some sort of repository of mtg cards (which alone is going the extra mile) but for the dice I imagine that you had to photograph and log all of the different color variations!? The only Brick and mortar stores I can think of that email me a receipt with photos and hyperlinks is Best buy and Microcenter, which are billion dollar companies. If this is a huge company owned by some hedge fund please let me know, otherwise this has set the bar for all small brick and mortar stores in my book.”
