“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.”
“It is one of the few/last community card shop stores in Milwaukee. I enjoyed meeting people talking about the hobby and talking to Jeff about history of the cards. I am lucky to have found it. Prices are very reasonable and he always gives you a good deal”
“Wanted to buy a lionel train set, cars, and decorations (ie.. train station, trees, people, and etc..)for my grandkids. Got everything i needed except my childhood. Brought back a lot of memories and I wanted to be a kid again. Great store!!”
“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.”
“Had a lovely experience here shopping for model kits. They had a wide selection of things, I was pleasantly surprised because these type of hobby stores of this size don't exist anymore. I was also surprised by the pricing as well, they price everything competitively at fair market value so you're not being ripped off. That's what I find so difficult with any hobby these days, scalpers are hoarding supplies and increasing prices. Hobby Town is definitely restoring my faith, and everyone should check them out! Shout out to Tony for helping us out and going the extra mile to check out inventory for an item we couldn't find in store. Great customer service from all of the staffs as well.”
“Lost World has some of the best and most diverse stock in the milwaukee area! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, i’ve learned a lot about mtg and comics because of them!”
“Didn’t have what I needed ( 19.2v)nicd battery w/charger
But if anyone knows of whom has one in hand ? please let me know
Thanks the the Help ✌️?”
“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.”
“I'm a retired Policeman. I've known them for 10 years. They're the best. The absolute best. They always give me good advice and a good deal. They've never cheated me. There are lots of gold dealers in this city, but Derzon Coins is the best.
Today, I accidentally gave the cashier an extra one thousand dollars, she caught it, and gave it back to me. I like that. An honest business that I can rely on.”
“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.”
“Excellent service! Outstanding employees that are all very personable. I have purchased & rented numerous pinball machines and even a jukebox from P&P. They have delivered them to my home and been wonderful to work with! I will definitely be buying more pinball machines from Mike and the guys! Thanks P&P!”
“Always find absolutely adorable items..
The cashier was very helpful,my bridge is was about to buy had a broken spot she noticed and told me immediately. Gave me time to go look for another. Unfortunately wasn't another but did say they're restocked next week. Because of that I will be back not ordering online. Ty”
“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.”
“Went there for a hard to find charging cord. Wasn't hard to find here, they had a bin full. And it was only $4. And they had tons more, all separated, and labelled nicely.”
“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 !!”
“Jeff took his time, and it was a long time, to both go through my Dad's coin collection and also educate me on what was of value and why. I appreciated his up front approach and was very happy with the results. Thank you Shorewood Coin Shop!”

“This place is the Greatest store on Brady street. I go in every time I visit Gloriosos or Sip N Purr cafe. Always has the best gadgets. We need the Jugglers in life. See you this Summer.”
“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?”
“This is hands-down the best coin shop in the Milwaukee area, and that’s a fact. Better yet, it is the best place to sell your gold or silver. Seriously, let me save you from wasting a bunch of time and losing out on a ton of money, i’ve already been to the gold buyers in the greater Milwaukee area that have a similarly high rating and I made that mistake so that you don’t have to. Nobody holds a candle to these guys, they’re super friendly and helpful, they’re quick and they aren’t going to pressure you and see how little they can get away with paying you. Even if Brookfield is a bit far from your area, even if the whole reason you are selling gold is because your car is in the shop and therefore you don’t have a ride out there, walk. Seriously, I have no incentive to write this review, but I was the one comparing ratings and reviews and I didn’t have much luck getting an answer on which place is the best… so I’m really spelling it out for you.”
“I honestly can’t be mad about the high prices because of how to market is nowadays. Every guy or woman working here has a smile and welcomes people in here. Gotta love this place!”

“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.”
“Fantastic Talking to the Owner, and the manager there! Great Customer Service and gave me an fair deal for an bunch of Hot Wheels. I also know an Co-worker there to who sometimes visits my work place. Was glad doing business with an awesome place such as Happy 8 Collectibles. A+++ ☺️”
“I took a very special piece of artwork over to the store today. The staff in framing was fabulous. Sara actually did the piece and it is stunning. I didn’t want to leave the artwork there, so Sara help me get the museum glass that I needed with a stock frame. She did an amazing job in a very short timeframe.
She brought new life to this artwork! I would have her work on any of my pieces with her attention to detail and care of the art.”
“As good as competitor HOBBY LOBBY...and that is indeed GOOD. Everything you need to get back your humanity from the rat race...arts crafts fabrics hobbies creative tool flowers beauty...enjoy LIFE”
“I lost my recite and came back to ask for a new one and OH MY GOD!! The manager who has a the pixi cut is so nice and patient with me and I am so sorry 😭. I gave them the wrong date like 2 times but they were still patient enough to wait and help me while I figure out the exact day and card I used to purchase. To that manager (forgot her name sorry) thank you so much!”
“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”
“Can't recommend this place enough. Tom is the most genuinely friendly guy I've met, and made it really easy to get into the hobby. I tell my friends who are thinking of getting into Warhammer to visit here and all their questions will be answered.”
