“The place was a bit disorganized but had some really cool stuff for a fair price. Comics and figures as well as miscellaneous merchandise and some gunpla. The person working there was also nice and was fun to talk to”

“I went in with some sterling silver flatware that I was looking to sell and received a very fair offer within minutes! Fantastic customer service, and I was in and out of there with a check within 20 minutes. Definitely the best place to sell your silver, gold, or collectibles!”

“A wonderful toy store full of amazing games & toys! If you are old enough to remember Toys'r'us then you know what it's like, but this is way better. For one, many of the toys are better quality. For another, a much better set of choices. For example, I like the marble coaster toy Gravitrax (yeah, yeah I know it's meant for kids :-P ). I saw so many expansions there that I had never seen before! It was awesome!They also have more grown up toys like R/C airplanes, boats, etc. They have model rockets!What they don't have are more serious board games like Settlers of Catan, Puerto Rico, Unmatched, etc. Those are across the street at the Portal, which has the same owner as the time machine.I strongly recommend going to the Time Machine for your toy and game needs!”

“If you're any kind of fan of model building or wargaming go here, it's 100% worth it. I recently got into Warhammer and was so excited when I found out there was a GW store near me. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, you can tell that the people working here are fans of the hobby with a lot of passion. The selection there is really good one side of the store is for 40k and the other is for Fantasy/Age of Sigmar. The pricing is GW pricing if you know you know. It's a little more pricey than other stuff but the quality is there for sure. Pretty much everything is the same price as it would be online and that's pretty much the same whether you're at GW or a smaller hobby store. Not everything is marked with a price so I definitely recommend asking as Warhammer isn't as straight forward as other hobbies and a small miniature might be even more expensive than a box of 10. Would love to see more painted miniatures in the displays but that's about my only recommendation, I had such a good time.”

“Huge space to try games. Terrain is set up for various games so all you need are your armies. Tons of board games to try and buy but also D&d and other pen and paper games and the mi atures and dice.They have updated the inside so there are more tables to game at and the prices are still awesome, as is the HUGE selection. Besides Warhammer there are a bunch of other army building minis and paint to do them up right.”

“Small store with a lot of N Scale tucked away in boxes. You REALLY have to sift through stuff to see if there is anything you like. Owner is friendly and doesn't pressure you to buy anything. Good prices as well”

“What a great experience, if expensive. Went to Michael's because they had 70% off the frames. Well it's 70% off just the frame. It's not 70% off the labor to frame the piece or the glass or the mounting or that sort of thing. Having said that though we were helped by a lovely woman who looked at what we were framing and offered up the exact right frame. I mean we would not have been able to find that in all those frames so she was really helpful. And she helped us with the price and it turned out to be fairly expensive but because I got points on my card I got to buy some new Christmas decorations! Michaels is really a nice store and the people who work there are wonderful. Merry Christmas And Happy New Year to Michaels and all the people who work there! Oh the artwork we had framed was a Christmas present and it was very well received!”

“We love to peruse the aisles in this store. It is magical to see the variety of merchandise in each department. By the time you leave the store, you will be inspired to take up a new hobby or design an art project. They offer everything from custom framing to home decor. They also have a complete variety of art and hobby supplies for every age group. A lot of the merchandise is color coordinated and easily accessible. The store is clean and well organized. The staff is friendly, professional, and helpful. There is also plenty of parking.”

“I had a picture framed at Michael's, and they did an excellent job! I also got their credit card for extra savings for Christmas shopping. Everyone in the store was very nice and helpful. I will continue to shop there and I recommend this store.”

“Super neat store, loved the variety. The figure aisles were my bread and butter; was hoping to see some more popup parade figures but overall fantastic selection! Had an extensive funko section as well. Will 100% be on my list of places to go when i visit CT again”

“Very nice store, lots of interesting and rare items, staff is very kind and helpful. Unfortunately I wasn’t in the market to buy anything this time and couldn’t come to a deal with the owner about buying some of my collection, I appreciate the help they gave me when determining a price range for the items I was selling and am very pleased with the great customer service. I look forward to shopping here in the future.”
