Was at Walt's hobbies with my grandkids yesterday. I have many interests myself with RC cars,…read moreplanes, trains, Carrera, race tracks and never disappointed. Always had what I need. Grandkids love wandering around the store with their eyes wide open with respect. We are never disappointed with our trips there. It's a drive that is well worth it! Customer service is #1.

Don't be fooled by the store name. The Wandering Dragon Game Shoppe has much more than just games…read more It's tucked neatly into the heart of downtown Plainfield. Plenty of parking nearby ( a whole parking lot to the North of the store ). I walked in and immediately greeted by a pleasant employee, Sam. I was surprised at how much this shoppe has! They have paint, for those crafting or school projects with your kiddos, they have UNO card game, and puzzles galore! If you're looking for a game and then don't have it, they can special order it for you. Rooms with large tables to play games with others-sign up online to do that. What a fantastic way to meet someone with similar interests! For a quick gift, they even have Squishmallows-they're so FLUFFY! I know what you're thinking, you don't consider yourself a gamer, no prob., this quaint store is intriguing. Stop in and check it out for yourself. You may just find something you like in there.

Games are at LEAST 20% OVER MSRP. Prices are better everywhere on the planet. AND GET THIS!!!!…read more.. IF you pay cash, they do NOT give change, the balance is in a store credit ONLY (going to look into the legality of that one myself). SOOOO, if you buy a $20 game and give them $50, you do NOT get any change, only a $30 store credit and they do NOT tell you that until AFTER they have your money. No signs anywhere. The staff is rude and uncaring. Try one of the MANY other game shops nearby. Fair Game, Game Storm, Critical Grind, Paper and Plastic. ALL of those will give you better service AND value. Also you are not allowed to play RPG's there unless you actually bought the books there. Really? WOW!!!! SMH. Can't fix stupid.

I've bought boxes online from these guys before, no issues. This particular time I ordered boxes…read moreonline, 4 days go by and they email me saying they messed up their stock and these boxes were not in stock so they cancelled my order. Less than a week later the boxes are back on their website for $100 more per box! They don't care about customer service, all they care about is making the most money possible during this crazy spike in prices and screwing over the people who have been collecting for decades. They won't be getting any more of my business.

It's a small store that can be easily missed and parking can be tricky too honestly. It's exactly what a hobby / toy star should be from what's featured. Some stuff I don't think is kid appropriate like South Park characters etc but there are good games, some hard to find candy and tons of kid activities to keep their minds preoccupied and away from a phone

So full disclosure: I don't play Warhammer! I know, then what was I doing at this shop, right?…read more Well, I do make other types of miniatures, and was interested in some of the paints and washes they sell here. Enter Larry, store proprietor, who did not gatekeep me for not being a gamer and gave me some useful tips as well. They have online video tutorials to watch if you're just getting started in painting miniatures, and also do classes on miniature painting. I bought what I was looking for (Citadel Agrax Earthshade) and can't wait to test it out on some "used universe" minis to grunge things up. :) Thanks to Larry for the assistance and the addition to my crafting arsenal.

We took a day trip to Chicago for my girlfriend's birthday to check out some Pokémon shops, and…read morethis ended up being one of our favorites so far. It's easily one of the best spots we've found for both Pokémon and One Piece cards. Aleah and Haley were super friendly and welcoming, and Ari was incredibly helpful when I had questions. The pricing is pretty much in line with most card shops for both sealed products and singles, but what really stood out was the overall experience. They have a ton of variety to choose from, and the atmosphere made it a great visit. On top of that, the staff even gave us some free merch for my girlfriend's birthday, which was such an awesome and thoughtful touch. We'll definitely be coming back soon! EDIT: We stopped by CardPop again before heading up to Chicago, and even though it was a different staff this time, we had the same great experience. The customer service was outstanding once again. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and communicated exceptionally well. We had the pleasure of meeting James and Bryce, and both were incredibly helpful and easy to talk to. It's clear that the team takes pride in providing a great experience for their customers. Keep up the fantastic work! We truly appreciate how well you always take care of us whenever we visit. Looking forward to stopping by again soon.

I've been shopping here since 2003 back when they were down the street from the current location…read more The service has always been hit or miss. For the most part the employee are helpful and cordial however when they miss they miss drastically. I won't go into detail of why I believe certain types of people like myself are treated differently as often here so instead I'll just discuss my most recent visit on 2/4/17 approximately 3:30pm. I brought my Slash truck in for a $1.25c bearing. While I was using tools that were scattered on the counter in a manner as if they had been here since the morning to remove a wheel... one of the employees came over and said "naw, these aren't community tools..these are my personal tools". He gathered his tools, placed them into a case then to took the case and place it behind the counter then walked away. I guess I was naive to think that hobby shops were comprised of a community of enthusiast who shared experiences, fixes, stories of hobby debacles, and even tools. Ok, to finish it off the other employee who helped with the bearing felt it was necessary to walk me to the front to make sure I pay for a $1.25c bearing after I told him I'll let the guy up front know that I have a bearing on the truck that I need to pay for. Maybe that's his job but in light of the previous event this type of treatment doesn't make your business feel appreciated when you've spent thousands here and at times upwards of $1000.00 in one visit several times. When options become more feasible like Amazon, Good ole Boy places like this will be taken out of my diet.
