“This place has been around for a long time and keeps reinventing itself. They have a mixture of glass cases and open booths. It is the perfect size to stroll through. There are two floors, with the bottom one shared with a large rock shop which is great fun if you enjoy that sort of thing. I found a wide range in prices from not bad to you must be kidding. There is a really nice assortment of merchandise, with several of the dealers having a specialty area they focus on. Great sources for records, antique glassware and lots of vintage clothing. A local woodworker has a beautiful display of handmade cutting boards. There is something for everyone and ample parking.”
“I passed by this shop on my way home from work last week and I’ve been meaning to go! I’m really glad I did because this place has the best selection of rocks and gemstones I’ve ever seen!”
“Was told about this store by some one I know decided to stop in to check it out. Enjoyed the experience was happy to find a LGS that had older packs of MTG at reasonable price. No to mention the sheer quantity of other tcgs and games that they had would deffiently recommend stopping in if you have the chance.”
“Staff is very friendly and personable. They will give you excellent value for your coins and old jewelry. I strongly recommend this establishment to anyone who is looking sell or buy any currency.”

“Friend showed me this spot. I enjoyed my time here. Awesome collection of merchandise and figures, and NSFW stuff as well. Super friendly staff as well! Can't recommend it enough if you're hurting to visit an Otaku store!”
“I frequent this hobby/train store for literally everything. Nice amount of military model kits in most scales, with good paint and glue selection. They have a great rolling stock selection, with good deals if you buy a few train cars at once. Nice selection of locomotives. (My layout is HO scale so that's all I really notice.) The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk with for hobbyists of any level. This is a great small hobby/train shop.”
“Your small town mom and pop hobby shop.
Lots of stuff in a small space. Experience and knowledge is what this place it.
Bob was extremely friendly and great to talk to. Best to call First to confirm they are open or leave a message. He will call back.”

“SO MANY IDEAS FOR YOUR ADVENTUROUS ARTISTIC ENDEAVORS EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK ANOTHER IDEA POPS IN YOUR CREATIVE JUICES EVERY AISLE HAS TO BE SEARCHED FOR THAT NEXT WORK OF ART CREATED BY YOU AT MICHAEL'S”
“trading card stores have a certain vibe to them. Usually on the smaller side, often smelling of BO from years of customers. I’ve been to the AU Yugioh regionals in Philly over the years and they’ve always been run well. Coming to AU Wilmington felt just the same. Deals table as you walk in. Singles case is priced well with a date listed from when the price was put up. Prices are fair and their selection of sleeves is standard albeit they were out of Dragon Shield Classic Whites when I came in. Top loader provided for free when you purchase cards from the singles case. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly as well. This store having no yugioh locals on weekends was a bit whack but maybe that’s just the player base ?
*Realized I reviewed another AU store-accidentally at first * as not from the area”
“Great shopping experience. Friendly staff. Great variety of items from vinyl records, interesting home decor, vintage clothing, jewelry, furniture, nostalgic toys to so much more. There’s something here for everyone. Plan to be there awhile as there’s 2 floors with so much to see.”
