“highly recommend. zeek. is really friendly. has amazing items in his shop. even buys items from people as well. took my aew collection there. made a great deal in a matter of minutes. 5 stars. Come check out the store in South ridge.”
“I have bought a few trains, rolling stock and accessories from here. This is a really great place and great people i love coming here, also Tom and his coworker are extremely helpful and good people!”
“Loved this store when I was a kid back in the mid 90s. Tons of NOS toy cars, model kids, and train supplies that you couldn't find anywhere else. Very sad to see they're closing. Not too many old school brick-and-mortar hobby shops around anymore. Went there recently to check out the closing sale and got some incredible deals on some NOS 1/64 scale cars from the early 80s. This store will defiantly be missed.”
“Where have you (Hobby Town) been? I was headed to the Aldis and discovered this traditional hobby shop next door! The best STEM education for all types of learners is building things as youth. Models, erector-type sets, science experiments, and popular characters are
available for all ages. Not much in model trains or slot cars, but there is something about putting a plastic model together, following instructions, and developing patience for a longer term outcome. Quite a contrast for child developers (parents) to the chaotic and disconcordant video gaming that reinforces immediate gratificate through exploiting others' work and creating no lasting legacy except impatient anxiety, morbid obesity, and increased childhood lifestyle diseases. Buy or build a model with your child and reap the benefits!”
“Best comic book store in the area hands down. Staff is always incredibly friendly and ready to answer questions. Gundam selection is also quite good for the area”
“Always surprised what your going to walk out with. Like Free Cat butt magnets?? or Free pointer pen to drive the kitty crazy?. Love the promos. Have loved American Science and surplus for years with my husband and son's, now Grown men. 25 years later and you can still spend at least an hour in. ?❤️”
“Didn’t have what I needed ( 19.2v)nicd battery w/charger

Thanks the the Help ✌️?”
“Purchased suede and a belt kit. I wear the belt from the kit. Suede is great. I purchased polyester yarn and wool yarn. I made a basket with some of the polyester yarn. Photos of polyester yarn crocheted white clothesline for a basket. I used Hobby Lobby gold yarn for convertible mitts, mittens extra warmth in winter with a glove or mitten sewed on my coat with sewing thread.”
“Staff is friendly and incredibly helpful. I enjoy their selection of coin albums and supplies especially, although I have found a number of great coins for my type albums as well. There is always something fun to look at here.”

“An absolute gem of a shop, with seemingly the most random combination of interests. Love visiting this store with my aunt--I, an avid collector of coins, and her, a devoted quilter.
I have also seen the owners at a couple of coin shows in Wisconsin and Illinois, and they always have a nice selection and are just as eager to help as they are in the store.”
“The new space is just the best. Lots of room, huge tables and banners for tcg/rpg/wargame events. At least 3 really big and very clean ♿️ friendly bathrooms. If you liked the old store in the same mall, you'll love the new space.”
“Fair and honest appraisals. I chatted with one of the employees who helped me understand the ins and outs of an estimate. While I ended up not buying anything, they were kind & fair.”
“love love love this place :)) been going since it was located on the lower level, so cool to see the hidden gem turn into a well loved safe place for nerds like me ! all the staff is so sweet and i have good conversations every time im in there, always recommend to my friends !!”
“Rick, the owner, is very knowledgeable on a wide variety of cards and carries a wide variety as well from football baseball basketball to all other sports cards and was super friendly definitely recommend stopping in and checking it out!!!”

“I needed dart supplies so where else would I go? Ha. They have cool accessories like a laser line marker and an overhead light kit in addition to other things. The gentleman working is genuinely kind. Shop small!”
“Good sales, able 2 pull up a coupon w my charged coupon and that generated additional rewards. I could have saved more had I ordered online but I like the in store experience. Ppl used to come in for classes, mabie busier on evening & wknds?”
“Friendly staff, every person who enters is welcomed. Prices for miniatures are better than some of the o line prices. However, they still aren't the best. Large variety of paints and two walls covered in shelves of miniatures. Tables for playing towards the back of the store next to the restroom. A paint "bar" for you to come sit and build or paint your minis whenever they are open. The atmosphere is great, the staff is welcoming overall rating 5/5. (Below are pictures from a tournament I played in held here for no admission fee!)”
“Jeff is great. Immediate initial response, texted photos and received a time/date to bring items in person for him to purchase. Fair and transparent price. Happy”

“Incredible variety of products. You have to walk all around the store to see what they to offer. Don't forget the fantastic framing department. They're very creative and professional.”
“I love Michael's. I'm not a big arts & crafts guy, but they have materials and products I buy (Posca paint markers, for example) that inspire me to try new things. Various plain, boring items in the house are now painted. I saw a big hot glue gun, something I have ideas & needs for but you won't see these just anywhere. I've been going to this location for MANY years and everyone is extremely friendly. The checker today was young but knowledgeable, she brought the best coupon up on my phone, and patiently entered various phone numbers & email addresses my wife or I have until she found the rewards account. Store is immaculate, well lit and highly organized.
Great place if you need a bunch of stuff, or nothing at all. Have fun.”
“Absolutely my favorite store on earth. Im a 42 year old man that acts like I’m a kid in a candy shop when in this place. Very helpful and knowledgeable guys. I consider them friends. It’s always a pleasure to stop in.”
“I came to return and purchase some things. I was adamant I purchased something there but I must have purchased it els where. The man behind the register was so kind and the woman manager was very kind too. They didn’t belittle me or make me feel like I was putting them out of their way. I really appreciate customer service like that! Ty:) (I was in there today 12/30/25 and left like 15 minutes ago 7:02pm. I hope those employees get recognized for their kind customer service :)) will be back… and to THAT specific Michaels bc of the employees there:)”
“Owner was extremely friendly. Did end up finding basically exactly what I was hoping to find so I was surprised on that however be warned the space is very very tight and some areas you can’t physically get to due to random stuff blocking areas. Might not be for everyone but was an interesting experience to say the least”
“What a wonderful neighborhood game store! The staff are very friendly and helpful, great selection of merch, and the prices are more than reasonable. If I could give it six stars, I would.”
“Jeff is great to work with. Brought in several cards for potential PSA grading. Jeff helped me identify which cards to submit and which ones not to submit to PSA. Fantastic service! Thank you!”
