“First time in today, to say I was blown away with the amount of vintage cards and memorabilia is a massive understatement! Great prices, great service, can’t wait to go back!!”
“Was awesome to walk in and see 5 tables of miniature games going on at once. Met the staff and they were very friendly, showed me their whole operation, explained services they offered and pricing, and even offered some great painting tips. Probably the best prices for Citadel and Army Painter paints in the area. Bolt Action, Konflict 47, Reptilian Overlords, Games Workshop minis on sale for MSRP.”
“Super easy to deal with. I had some paper currency from my father and I feel they gave me fair value considering they have to make a profit on anything they purchase. Recommended.”
“The flags are great. Made in the USA like they should be. More things need to be made in America to continue to make this country self sufficient. The young man than worked in the store was very knowledgeable and helpful. Buy American!!!!!”
“I have never even heard of the store until I got with a friend and she took me here… I absolutely LOVE it in there! The atmosphere the people everything is just so nice and great about the whole entire store. The employees are wonderful. I could literally stay in this store and look for hours probably from open to close for one week straight and wouldn’t be tired of it. It’s clean nice nice neighborhood. Nice people very helpful very sweet.”

“The price is kinda high for stuff that’s only worth like five bucks but the hot toys only 40 bucks that’s crazy. It’s a steel on Amazon. It cost $143. Only cost 40 bucks in here definitely five stars will from stranger, things btw”
“Love Hobby lobby! Great variety of home decor. Bought paint brush and small bottle of paint for 99 cents to touch up wall paint. Love the huge selection. Store was very clean and getting ready for Fall and Christmas.”
“This is by far my favorite store. They always have everything I need plus some. Whether I'm shopping for home decor, craft items or holiday decorations, they have it all.”
“This shop was great! Staff was knowledgeable and made great recommendations for Christmas gifts that my family members loved. Definitely try out the mystery dice gum ball machine. We got fun patterns to add to our collection.”
“I don't know the guy's name but he is so awesome he runs the cash register he works the whole store if you want a good time I would go here if you would like your children to have a blast bring them here”
“I remember Randy Scholl Stamp Company from at least 1982 or so and I believe the company remains under the same ownership. There are a prominent and well-known company selling stamps to stamp collectors and all transactions I have done with them over the years have been good ones. As I understand things, they are major buyers of stamp collections and the stock of material for sale is quite varied and ever-changing. Definitely recommended as a source of philatelic material for your collection.”
“The staff is always so friendly and helpful! Ans I always end up spending way more than planned mainly because of their clearance section they always have a ton of stuff marked down between 40 to 70% off. I usually get candles for $2-3! It’s great to buy things for the next years Holiday that just passed!”

“Lovely shop and very kind staff.
I was searching for Christmas gifts for my wife, and these kind folks had a beautiful set of coins and notes from which to select.
Brad was clearly a master, well studied in the history of currency and monetary exchange, and he was quite generous with sharing his time and knowledge with me to select the perfect gift.
I'd strongly recommend this shop. Thanks guys!”
“If you're a stacker, compare premiums to other local shops, especially w silver, they seem a little higher, but they've always have had a diverse selection of bullion, vintage, and collectibles. Seen some nice specials on gold. They often have some vintage bars sellinsg for no additional premium and stock larger sized bars if you're into that. They also don't hold stock back on market dips, if you're wanting to buy, they're willing to sell.”
“Phil and his shop are awesome. I been selling here for 10 years Silver and Gold. Always treated wonderfully and talked shop and politics. I recommend this store over all I have been to in 50 years. It’s fun to just walk around and enjoy the many items in shop!! Thanks Phil for fair prices and being a friend…”
“I came into this shop with little to no knowledge of needlepoint. Heather sat down with me and gave me a 1x1 lesson, taught me, explained the threads, mesh sizes, and everything I’d need to know to get started. I truly felt so welcomed and supported visiting this shop. All the staff are so sweet and it is obvious they enjoy what they do. They have a passion for needlepoint and crafting. The building was so clean and organized, and in a great location. The canvas and thread selection was great. I will be back to add to my needlepoint projects!”
“Osborne Coinage Co. makes some of the finest products that I have ever laid my hands on. I am a humble member of the Barlow Bearcat Club & the coins that they minted for us are stellar. They are in "Proof" quality & if you know anything about coinage, you understand that proof coins are the finest quality of coins produced. They are meticulously produced in small numbers and handled to a specific set of guidelines, which ensures the highest quality standard for coins. To make what they made & to do it in the time they did is almost unimaginable, if I am being honest. This speaks volumes to their unwavering dedication to quality and customer service. If you are interested in getting some custom coinage produced, look no further because this is your company.”

“They have great prices but they need to do better with straight trading because I found a card I liked and I was gonna trade one of mine which was worth a bit more than the one i wanted and they told me they do 50% on my card”
“The store manager was great to talk to and super inviting. He was helpful and made me feel welcomed and even let me take a picture with a power fist! Give this man a raise”
“I really enjoy coming here for my craft projects because they have such a huge selection of supplies. I can always find exactly what I need whether I am working on a painting or just decorating for a party. The aisles are usually pretty well organized, which makes it easy to browse, but sometimes I have to wait a little while at the register when it gets busy. Overall it is a reliable spot to grab whatever creative items are on my list.”
“The workers at the store are very nice. However, they do not have fabric. We came looking for fabric since Jo-Ann Fabrics is closed now. The internet said that Michaels has fabric, but this particular one does not.”
“When I walked into Michaels I was unsure where to find the watercolor pencils and brushes so I asked this young lady named Kabria I hope I'm spelling her name right. But she was a sweetheart she helped me find everything I needed. Even when she had a cart full of things that she had to put away. I'm going to give this place a five stars just because of the friendly service. Thanks again!”
“Michael’s is a welcoming and inspiring place that consistently makes creativity feel accessible and fun for everyone who walks through the door. The stores offer a wide variety of art supplies, home décor, and crafting tools, so it’s easy to find everything you need for a project in one convenient stop. Their staff are typically friendly and willing to help you track down items or suggest alternatives, which makes the shopping experience feel more personal”
“My family has been shopping at Coolest Toys on Earth for years — since our kids were babies — and the experience has been nothing short of incredible every single time. The staff genuinely knows their products, the selection is fantastic, and they’ve always made us feel like valued customers rather than just another transaction.
I do want to address the negative reviews complaining about pricing, because a little Economics 101 goes a long way here. Supply and demand is a fundamental principle of how markets work — when demand is high or supply is tight, prices rise. This isn’t unique to Coolest Toys on Earth; every retailer adjusts pricing based on market conditions, wholesale costs, shipping, and inventory availability. If you’ve been frustrated by prices anywhere in the last few years, that’s a reflection of broader economic realities, not a knock on this store specifically.
What sets Coolest Toys on Earth apart isn’t just their inventory — it’s the heart they put into customer service. Our family keeps coming back because they’ve earned our trust and loyalty over many years. Cincinnati is lucky to have a gem like this. Highly recommend to any family looking for a wonderful local toy shopping experience!”
“Rude staff back in the 2000s but hopefully they improved. So I will give 5 stars. This was a nice gamestop back in the day. God bless Gamestop ? ? ❤️ ? ✨️ ♥️ ✝️”
“Store that has lots of miniatures, paints, train displays, models, & RC cars. So, a wide selection of everything. Prices are about average, not overpriced, no real steals either.”
“My Grandson brought earphones for his birthday he really enjoys Game Stop & the knowledgeable salesman about everything in the store. We'll return highly recommended.”
“Man oh man, you gotta go here! Every board game imaginable, every rules book for any table top game you've ever heard of and a million you haven't. Miniatures, miniatures, miniatures; by far the best selection of Games Workshop stuff I've ever seen. I'm already planning our next Cincinnati visit so I can stop by here on the way home.”
