“Great place to get good deals on items you need for your model train layout. Locomotives, rolling stock, buildings, scenic materials, etc. Save a dollar and skip the line by buying your admission online. Parking is free. Get there early for best selections.”

“I recently visited Pete's to sell a coin collection. They were a little further from me than some other coin dealers, but they have some very good Google reviews. I was happy with the service and prices, and highly recommend them.”

“This is a second review I’m leaving under my real name (see other review under @the English Professor).I’ve been a satisfied customer of Fox Valley Coins since 2021 and would send my family to all of these guys if I were on my death bed and needed to recommend where they should go to sell my collection. Christian, Mike, and all of the guys there are consistently friendly and professional and I always feel well taken care of when I’m in the shop.I’m responding to the negative review from customer Scott for the purpose of highlighting the owner’s classy response and follow up response to Scott’s misunderstanding of what occurred during his experience at FVC. Who takes the time to compose a thorough and sincere response like that to an insatiate review like the one Scott left? The answer is: an owner who cares about his customers and the legacy of his business. He explained what happened, acknowledged that there was likely a misunderstanding during the transaction, and wasn’t insulting or condescending to Scott in responding to the review. That’s class, in my book, and that’s why I continue to patronize Fox Valley Coin on a regular basis. I have four different local coin shops I rely on and FVC is always at the top of my list.”

“This is the very ideal of a neighborhood card shop! I went for the first time to get a last minute Christmas gift and brought my three kids. Even on a busy morning with other customers in the store, Dean and Marilyn could not have been nicer. They played and joked with my 2 yo daughter and even gave her a Pokemon card that has quickly become her prized possession. This is what kind local business looks like; I can't wait to go back (and neither can my daughter)!”

“The Best place to "Break Packs"! Bring the kids to this place!Scott and staff always make you feel welcomed. Ask them questions especially if you're new to Sports Card collecting. They enjoy educating newbies and welcoming them to the sports card collecting hobby.”

“Ordered a set 4 flags from Flags USA. Kim helped me with my order. Best service! These flags are just what I needed, they had different options of sizes and the prices were better than competitors! I'll be purchasing from them again! Best part, flags are USA manufactured!”

“This is a great toy and collectible shop. They have a great selection of toys and stuff. The prices on some of their items are a lot lower than other places. Great little gem for starting a collection or building up the one you already have.”

“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.”

“Rupal works at Michaels in Bloomingdale Illinois. She is always very helpful and nice to customers. You can always count on her competent help. He's a really great person, helpful and friendly. When I come to the store and see that she is working that day, I know that I can always count on her help.-Izabela”

“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 always enjoy shopping at Michaels. They always have something new and something that catches my eye for buying. Great place to visit if you are a Designer or Crafter”

“When the cashier asked if I found everything needed, I had said no. I could not find a frame to match a specific painting. She said that it might work to try for a bigger frame and mat. She suggested I go and explain what I was looking for in the framing department. The lady in the framing dept said we could get a bigger frame, and she could customize cut the mat. It could not have been better. The two women were wonderful. It turned out so good that we are going to get an art light to highlight it.”

“This store is great if looking to add some pizazz to the home or crafty/decorative gifts for the kids. Usually there are 50% off sales for framed art that make the trip extremely worthwhile. The Star Wars appliances are a huge bonus! Seasonal decorations are everything and whatever picture frame size you need, they have!”

“Among the many philatelic (stamp) auction houses Rasdale is a standout.Their auction catalogues are worth the price of admission: lively and well written with just the right touch of humor. Even if you don't participatethey are a delight to read. I've successfully acquired many choice items fromthem. And if you are selling (far too common these days) you can rest assured their mid-western values and character will guide you painlessly.Whether you are perusing their extensive catalogue for elusive items for your collection, or selling dad's (or grandpa's) cherished stamp albums I cannot recommend them highly enough. PS-why don't you keep one of your father's albums for yourself? I think the kids would love pouring over it!”

“service is seriously a notch above! Maria and the team is the best. She did not stop until she found Brown card stock n Illinois for me! She could have said, " Sorry, we are out." but no! She went above and beyond and I headed out to another Micheal's to retrieve my Brown paper! PUT HER IN YOUR CORPORATE SEAT!”

“Cute shop. Good variety of games and trading card product. They either are or will soon be up to 28 seats for gaming. Friendly staff. Clean store. Temperature is great. It smells just fine (gaming stores do not always smell fine). The mall food court is nearby so it's easy to grab a quick snack between games.”

“As an artist & photographer- This is one of my go to stores. It’s easy to spend too much time looking at what they have and what is new. They are always ahead of the holidays for the crafty people. I saw Valentine’s Day, St.Patricks Day and even Easter decorations out in Jan. Their framing department is top notch and I have had several personal pieces framed here with peace of mind. They have a new state of the art self check out computer at the counter which shows the product pictures on screen and will likely speed up your process after spending all that time filling up your cart. ;)”
“Gabe is very knowledgable as well as a very interesting person to talk with. His prices are very fair. I’m not sure why Google claims that his business is permanently closed but he is certainly open for business as usual!”
