“I'm a huge fan of Fair Game, and try to spend money supporting my friendly local game store whenever possible.As a Dungeon Master for my D&D group there's a great array of official content, third party sources, and minis for my game. As a parent, I'm thrilled by their large selection of games age appropriate for my 3 year old. Every time I walk in their staff are friendly and helpful, and it's an excellent environment for the kids in the area.Can't say enough positive things about the place!”
“Huge selection of games and minis for anything from star wars legion to marvel crisis protocol and 40k. Tables to play bigger games or mtg. Laid back environment”
“Very well put together place, amazing and friendly staff. That is very informative. They don’t have what you want they will get it for you. I went in there with my kiddos, and they even gave them little sample packs for them to get into it! Hope it’s appropriate to mention an employee Sebastian there that made the experience great and easy. I will definitely be a returning customer ?”

“My niece is moving into a new home and she said she wanted to make it sort of country setting for her kitchen she wanted to do sports for her son and maybe a man cave for her husband and a girly room for her daughter. so I send her quite a few pictures of what Hobby Lobby carries and she was very happy . She's actually in Virginia now I don't know if you have a Hobby Lobby over there but she will be be coming in a couple of weeks to visit and she's probably going to be taking a whole lot back with her”
“What a great time for my Grandson’s birthday! He turned 5 and loved it. They couldn’t have been nicer to all of the family who also enjoyed it too. Aunts, Uncles, cousins and of course Grandmas and Grandpa.”

8919 Cermak Rd, North Riverside“Been a big fan of heroes for years for a lot of different reasons. The owner is fantastic and their communication with social media responses is very quick. It's very convenient to know what's in stock and to get timely answers. Most hobby places I've dealt with in the past are very slow when it comes to responses/non existent. Outside of great communication, owner/staff are very friendly and overall fantastic people to deal with. To the fun stuff - it's a classic card shop with a great selection and cool memorabilia as well. They also do very fun raffles as well which is extra reason to continue to spend money on your hobby :) Keep up the great work!”

“Hobby Lobby is still my go-to store to feed my hobby hunger. They carry a great selection of seasonal merchandise and offer money-saving discounts so I can buy all my favorite items.”
“Their selection is vast. The 70% sale they had on canvas was incredible. I walked away with 3 gigantic canvases for my profession art job (yes I get to brag) and even went back to grab a cart. Imagine a 6 ft 3ish 4ish tall guy grabbing one of those little carts made for a child. I needed it. That's how good the sale was. Paint was discounted, so I bought Paynes gray, unbleached titanium, and none of those small tunes, the ink well styled ones. I bought a new roller, however that's why I'm leaving 4 and not 5. Yall need new rollers. The ones you sell are cheap. Mime broke after 1 session I'm sorry. I hate that I need to go to home depot now for an industrial one. We'll that's minor. The customer service is always ? top notch and I'm extremely happy when I frequent here. It's like the mall of America for artists. Eh 5 stars. That's too critical. Good store.”
“Ravi was amazing I was just browsing and he was amazing very valuable employee. Made sure I found what I was looking for. Very helpful person thank you so much we will be back again.”

180 S Mannheim Rd, Hillside“Better than usual experience due to a capable framer who helped us out. We were there for the big 70-75% off framing sale which is a total marking hack as the prices are still very high. First time using Michael’s. Hopefully the results will be great.”
“My Dad was a coin collector since my grade school years. He had the good fortune of meeting Joe over 35 years ago. They spent about 25 years building their various collections together. Dad had a variety of coins but his prize collection was his Buffalo nickels. When he passed away he left that collection to his 4 kids. I had maintained a relationship with Joe and so took the Buffalos to him to have them appraised. Joe looked at each individual coin with his resources available to put a value on each coin. I had taken the collection to other dealers and they did a cursory look at the coins and threw out a number. Joe's attention to detail and what I felt was a very fair offer, let me know he is still the friend my father trusted for 25 years! Thanks Joe! ❤”
“Steven is very knowledgeable about the trading cards and provides great customer service. I've been buying supplies and cards from him for years and was never disappointed. Highly recommend.”
“This store is always clean and quiet when I go. Not to mention the employees and management have a happy vibe to them. Unlike the Hobby Lobby down the street they seem sad and depressed”
“Ultimate Autographs is the place to be. They are amazing. It’s fun, great conversation, definitely worth the price ( and it varies for anyone that wants to try it out) they walk you through the process and are patient with new comers, just an outstanding outfit. I recommend to any sport hobbyists to get on and check them out! You won’t be disappointed.”
