“Fantastic hobby store with 2 professional and well maintained slot car tracks. Great selection of models as well. Worth the trip from almost any distance. Highly recommended. Thanks!”
“My favorite card store I’ve ever been to since my 20 year collecting adventure began. Prices are stellar and Steve is just that “dude”. They have gaming events - primarily Magic and Yugioh - but have cards for everything else. Will be coming here continuously.”
“Chris and his team at America The Beautiful are second to none. From the moment you walk in to his beautiful historic storefront, you can already feel that you made the right choice. All of the products at his place are made in the U.S. including but not limited to the flags, flagpoles, and the hardware. Chris treated you like you were a part of his family taking care of every question and concern in a timely manner and was extremely professional, transparent, ready to take on the task at hand, and taking pride in his work. I could have not asked for a better flagpole and even better service! If you want a company that will provide exceptional service than look no further than this place!”
“Very well kept shop with an extensive collection of all things cards and memorabilia. Staff is extremely helpful and professional. Great place for sports enthusiasts and collectors to get merchandise and memorabilia!”
“Really kind and friendly owner, lots of cool stuff, fair prices, a little hard to move around in but who among us doesn’t have more cool stuff than they have space for? Happy I stopped in and happy with my finds :)”

“Have been here twice now for custom framing projects and the woman who helped me both times was fantastic. She really helped with picking out frames and mattes and both art pieces turned out beautiful!”
“Time Warp used to be the greatest game store in NJ. It was cluttered but it had EVERYTHING, from indie RPGs to weird board games to minis. I used to play board games here every Friday night, and the community was amazing; it was a home away from home.
Unfortunately, the owner passed away a couple years ago and the store is very different (though the awesome and welcoming community persists). Now the store is much less cluttered and has more comfortable gaming space. But the new owner’s approach is… well they only care about CCGs. I play wargames here most weeks, and I make an effort to buy something every time I’m there because I’d like to keep the store going as a friendly place to play.
But it’s not easy. The stock of board games appears to be ever dwindling, and they flat-out don’t stock board wargames anymore. I think they sell some D&D books, but no interesting indie RPGs. The Warhammer selection is barely refreshed and not at all responsive to what people at the store play or want to play. And I swear, they haven’t restocked their paints in a year. I have to go to other stores to get even the most basic paints.
The staff is as friendly as the community, and I get it, Magic and Pokemon are cash cows. But they’re leaving (a lot of) money on the table by neglecting every other type of gaming. It’d be nice if Time Warp once again showed its regulars as much love and loyalty as they show it.”
“Hobby Lobby in Paramus is an amazing store that truly covers every hobby you can imagine. I really appreciate how wide the selection is, whether you’re into crafting, building, designing, or collecting. I was especially excited to find Godzilla-themed items, which made my visit even more fun. The seasonal section is always impressive, with great decorations and ideas throughout the year. I also appreciate the quality and variety of blank t-shirts and sweatshirts, along with the huge selection of iron-ons that make customizing clothing easy and affordable. The car models and toys are great for collectors and hobbyists, and the art supply section is well stocked with everything from basics to professional tools. This Hobby Lobby truly has something for everyone.”
“This place is the best hobby shop in NJ. I have been to a few dozen hobby shops and this place has it all. Parts for all types of RC stuff. (NOT JUST TRAXXAS) like every other hobby shop nowadays. Keep up the good work and remember to support your small business local hobby shop!”
“I went for a AA battery operated clock work to replace one that died a peaceful end. Needed assistance find the clock works. I installed it and it worked. Another positive Michael's experience”
“I love this place. The owner is very friendly and easy to talk with. John has been in business for himself for a long time and treats people right. It makes a difference when you buy or sell with a family-owned local business who go the extra yard for their customers, instead of a big impersonal corporation where employees come and go. John is interested in you becoming a repeat customer, and not just a one-time deal, and it shows. Give his place a try, especially when you have some extra time and can linger and browse, and see if you like it there as much as I do.”
“Family owned and operated Apollo flags has been assisting our fire department for over 20 years. Always there to help with guidance and what type of flags to get with the current styles and their service is also second to none. They also help with custom orders”
“Hollywood Heros has two things going for it. 1) An amazing, incredible selection of toys, new and vintage. 2) The nicest owners possible. My 12 y.o. son is a huge Star Wars collector, and he discovered HH on Yelp about. year ago. We've gone maybe a dozen times now even though it's an hour round trip. We often find rare and impossible to get items here and if it's not on the shelves, it's probably in their basement, so just ask. We became friendly with Jordan and Val on our trips there, and Jordan has been especially gracious. He always has time to talk, answer questions, and be friendly. Even when we come to just window shop, we still have great talks. Recently my son was looking for an ARC-170 gunship, and Jordan and Val had just gotten one in that had missing parts, and they gave it to my son as a thank you for being a loyal customer. It made my son's month. The store is a block from the central shopping district, so when we go we get bagels or Korean chicken and make a day out of it, or go the few blocks to Trader Joes. I know a Trader Joes isn't a selling point for a store specifically, but as a parent of someone who loves shopping here it's nice to have a cute town that can be part of the experience.”
“I LOVEEEE this Michaels they have everything you need and I decorated my graduation cap with all the materials from here!!! And I also get my yarn from here!! They have such a variety of things!”
“America’s past time is a Burton County gem. Rich really knows his stuff which is refreshing in a world with most retail interactions I feel like I know more than the worker does. He’s attentive without hovering yet gives an honest advice and generally cares about getting you the right item not just the most expensive one. Whether you’re shopping for sports cards autographs or a sports gift he makes the process smooth and enjoyable. He’s got a great selection great service and a real gentleman. If you want quality without nonsense come to America’s Pastime. ?”
“Lovely experience today with Arissa, who exhibited extraordinary kindness and patience as I sought to have 3 photos of my Mom framed. She listened attentively to what I thought might look good and showed me a virtual picture of what I selected on her computer. Then we both noodled around with mat colors until we came up with something we both thought looked great. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product. Many thanks to Arissa for her artistic eye and generosity with her time.”

“I needed to have photos framed and went to my local Michaels' . The woman that helped me was the same that patiently helped me two years ago with another project I needed framed. I had a lot of leg pain, and she could not have been more helpful or kind. Brought me out her stool so I could sit, and kept moving on the project. While she was measuring, another woman shopping said to me "This woman is a gem, she has helped me before." Could not agree more, wish I caught her first name, but I believe her surname is Matano? Just cannot thank her enough. Chris B.”
“Michael's will always be my #1 place to go for my craft supplies. Being a member, you earn discount vouchers to spend as a reward for shopping at Michael's. The best part of using the reward vouchers is that you can use them on top of sale items which cuts the prices even more.”
“Great atmosphere for instore gaming. Wide variety of items including hard to find items more than the competition down the block. If they don’t have it ask they can probably get it for you. Great customer service. Table top games, Magic the gathering, One piece, Pokemon and much much more. Worth going in to this mom and pops store, a real gem!”
“Love ❤️ this store so many crafts. Great for gifts ,I bought my husband bosses daughter a bracelet making kit haven't given yet but know she's going to love. Prices are pretty fair.”

“Good crowd of gamers in the back room... Not sure what games they were playing but looks like Warhammer and various card collectors games like Pokémon... The front shop is nicely layed out with mostly collectables...”
“Fantastic customer service! Great prices really happy with my visit to the store I prefer old stuff and found a lot of nice things for good prices stay away from eBay in the internet just come here I will be returning many times to check what has come in. Good prices on new stuff as well plus a lot of variety. Definitely the best store around Rob was great I will be going back many times in the future.”
“Really nice hobby store, with Pokémon and all types of sports cards. Great selection of holders and protective cases. Picked up some 49ers singles to add to my collection and they were the first store to carry 2025 NFL Panini Prizm, so was super excited to pick up a blaster box. Looking forward to stopping in again.”
