“I recently stopped by to look around since I use to play 40K about 20 years ago. The store is well maintained and most of what you are looking for can be found in the store. Everyone is very friendly and willing to offer helpful tips and is a pleasant place to battle, build, and paint your miniatures. The store manager Mike is the driving force behind this store and he is extremely knowledgeable and is very passionate. Mike is honest, charismatic, and patient as I had a lot of catching up to do since I was 6 rule books behind. He offers free paint classes to help get you started as well and will answer any question you have.”

“If you're looking for anything art related, they've probably got it, and at several price points. Want to try acrylics for the first time? Working on a piece for a gallery showing? They've got you. Staff is always super friendly, and you can find interesting tchotchkes at the front of the store and at the checkout.”

“As an avid Lego fan, I had seen videos on Brickmania and was excited to experience it for myself. The business is exactly as advertised. Hundreds, if not thousands of custom kits and prints accurately reflecting militaries around the world and across history.I love to support specialty Lego stores, but I am not much of a military history fan, so I really struggled to find something to purchase.The staff were extremely friendly and knew their products well. They let me use the bathroom and packaged each of my purchases in separate baggies to prevent damage.A good experience overall, and I look forward to visiting the other locations when I can.”

“I just purchased 2 sets of dice and an MTG single and I am honestly blown away. I just checked my email and saw that the emailed receipt included pictures of the exact dice I bought and the single. I'm sure you were able to download and adapt some sort of repository of mtg cards (which alone is going the extra mile) but for the dice I imagine that you had to photograph and log all of the different color variations!? The only Brick and mortar stores I can think of that email me a receipt with photos and hyperlinks is Best buy and Microcenter, which are billion dollar companies. If this is a huge company owned by some hedge fund please let me know, otherwise this has set the bar for all small brick and mortar stores in my book.”

“I love this store. Unlike other Michaels stores they don't have automatic checkout lanes. Someone actually rings your purchases and enquires about your shipping experience. What a rarity these days. But I love all Michaels stores. I'm a loyal customer.”
