“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!”
“I have been going here for about a year for Magic the Gathering pre-release events. It is a very clean and organized store. The events are always run well and the staff is incredibly friendly. Fantastic store!”

“Really wonderful store! Mike was super informative and helped me get excited about Warhammer. I am new to everything and he helped me jump right in. Thank you for this new hobby!”
“I am so glad I finally found this place! It is getting harder to find a shop that will actually refill a 5lb CO2 tank on-site rather than just forcing a swap, so this was a huge win. The gentleman who helped me was great, and I was honestly impressed by the variety and quality of inventory they have in stock. It’s clear why they’ve been a staple in the area for over a decade. Highly recommend stopping in if you want to support a great local business with solid expertise. I’ll definitely be back!”
“I'm a plastic airplane builder and collector and like to check out any shop that has aircraft kits. While Ron's Mundelein Hobbies doesn't have a huge inventory of plastic kits there's a full 4x8 section of aircraft that did not disappoint!
It's not too hard to find a Tamiya 1/32 Spit... But it is hard to find one at a reasonable price! I couldn't pass up the chance to finally buy one.
There are several out of production Accurate Miniatures (B-25) and Eduard (Spit Mk.VIII and Mk.IX) kits there... and a Monogram 1/48 B-58! (As of 05/07/2026)
There is another section of armor and vehicles, several nice ships, and a sci-fi section I'll need to check out next time.”

“I have purchased many sets from the store. The owner always looks happy and there's always cool events going on! My girlfriend never was interested and with the free mini he gave me on my first purchase and with the free minis of the month that I have aquired she now paints them and has fun doing so!”
“Costa and Matthew are always so knowledgeable and helpful! This is the only coin shop ive been to that I feel like I'm getting an honest fair deal and always learn something new every time I stop in.”
“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.”
“Went in for first time on a whim looking for very specific vintage comics, and Charlie came through for me! Got all the ROM: Spaceknight I was looking for, and was also able to cross a bunch of MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE off my buylist. Charlie is very friendly and knowledgeable, has great taste in music, and made great business cards. A treat to have visited!!!”
“They paid the highest for my silver coins out of 10 different shops that I had called. Very friendly family owned business. Very nice and informative on the phone and in-person. I would 100% recommend this business and will definitely be back.”
“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!”
“Rodger has all the best slot care parts and accessories in the country. His four slot car tracks are clean and fun to race on. Computerized lap counters are great for competitive racing. Young or old it is so much fun!!!”
“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”
“My husband took my son here, they both loved it. My son is 10 and he said it was the coolest card shop he's ever been in. Also said everyone was super nice. We will definitely be back. ?”
“Employees very helpful and friendly. Went there to purchase 3D filament. Prices are reasonable. Not a huge variety (colors and types), but they sell them. Parking available. Can't say enough, able to find the product(s), reasonable prices, staff professional and courteous. Keep up the great job!”
“Needed inexpensive multiple frames (2 11x14 per package) always got them at Michael's. Went to Vernon Hills store they had no multi package frames and also no precut mat frames. And told me to go on line. Kildeer store had exactly what I wanted and were very helpful.
Also checking out young man did my quick check out for me.”

“The problem with Michael's is that they discount items practically as soon as they are placed on the shelves. You just know how much you are being overcharged if you purchase anything not on sale. Having said that, they are a good store for crafting hobby supplies, just make sure to take advantage of sales and coupons when possible.”
