“This is the art supply store for all professionals and wannabes, (like me). And the employees are all great to work with.I’m not sure if they have to be artists to work there but they know their merchandise and will walk you to what you’re looking for if you ask.I’d give it five stars but their prices are premium, (I’m in a fixed income), . You do get what you pay for, (price vs. quality is a direct proportion), and sales are great.”
“Great little shop has a little bit of everything that you need and some great paint in hobbies selections for like building dioramas and scenery. They also carry a really top-notch brand of spray paint Hobby paint from Vallejo.”

7900 Xerxes Ave S #140, Bloomington“Very friendly, I brought in a couple of coins that were really only worth the silver weight. I thought I'd have them double check. Even though the place has a very nice atmosphere and I probably am there smallest customer of the week they offered me a beverage and made me feel like I wasn't wasting their time. Thanks Rick!”
“I work for Economic Development in a small Oklahoma town that is slowly working toward becoming a "Christmas Town". I was in the process of obtaining quotes (actually, I was finished) when Alex called me, out of the blue, to ask if I were interested in him sending a catalogue. His demeanor was refreshing, his prices were better, and the overall customer service was amazing. I highly recommend this company.

“Owner is super nice and easygoing. Keeps up to date on current values of items. And offers store credit when you bring stuff to a greater value than his cash offer so really great if you're looking to change up your collection. Great atmosphere and value!”

6410 Penn Ave S, Richfield“Wacky, thorough, and always guaranteed to make you marvel at their selection. I went here a lot as a kid for plane and car models, and continue to shop for various specialty items, gifts, and the sheer novelty. I have gotten board games, puzzles, die cast Ferraris, sandpaper, model rocket parts, and much more. Also really enjoy bringing my father-in-law, as he is a model train enthusiast - Hub Hobby is paradise for him.”
“Love this place! Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable - they can help you find a game you’ll really enjoy! Not ready to buy? You can rent games for a pretty reasonable price!”

1618 Central Ave NE UNIT 110, Minneapolis“If you love Lego, this is the off brand store for you. If you don't, this might be the store that converts you! They specialize in unofficial Lego, specifically military sets. You'll find jet fighters, submarines, humvees, and more. You'll still find a selection of official Lego sets along with stations to build your own mini figures.”
“This is an amazing store! They have amazing products, but they also go much further... If you are new to learning about rocks and gemstones, this is a great shop to go to. They are passionate about the products they sell and they love to teach you things if you are curious to learn! John offered to let me cut open my first agates ever on a slow day FOR FREE because I had been shopping there so much! This staff truly launched my LOVE for geology and lapidary. I haven't been in a while because I don't want to go broke ? I would say 80% of my massive crystal collection comes from this shop. They are ethical and often mine and polish their own product. They are sure their products are acquired appropriately, and not all shops will take enough pride to ensure this. I can trust that the money I spend is on products that are appropriately priced and ethically obtained.
I hope I can get to one of their lapidary classes or trips some day, I love John and his crew truly! I have sent a lot of people to this shop. Planning on stopping by soon to say hi to the friends!
Much love to you all!!!”
“Perfect place to shop for the unusual. Whenever I'm in the area I hit all three stores. I've bought gear motors, relays, switches, capacitors, and lots of other parts for my projects. Thomas Edison would have loved this place.
I even bought a 50 pound bale of shredded money to use as packing for my pen business. You never know what you're going to find there. Need a drop tank for a fighter jet? They had one many years ago.”
“I'm just thankful I don't live closer. The friendly service, knowledge, and incredible selection would have me broke in no time. My man-cave is complete because of FanHQ!”
“Super helpful and insightful visit. I thought I had error coins that I wasn't sure the value of, so I went here and found out they're not errors at all! I also found out the silver that I brought with me at least had some value. The I bought two cool one ounce silver coins. 100% Recommend!! H.”

“I had stopped by with my 7 year old son who is just getting into coin collecting and had a tremendously great experience visiting the coin shop. My son was given some neat gifts and great advice for his start in collecting and couldn't have had a better time visiting.
We will definitely be back soon.
Thanks again!”
“Best craft store there is! The biggest selection of crafts in every category. I've never gone there without finding exactly what I needed! They also have a lot of nice home storage and decor things. The staff is always friendly, and the shopping ambiance is so relaxing and fun. I leave there feeling happy and excited to work on my latest craft project.”
“Very patient and friendly. Took the time to explain and share tips with my 10 year old novice coin collector. Fair pricing and even gave him a few extra sleeves for his coins at home. We will be back soon.”
