Great hobby shop one of the last good ones left. Always helpful always has stock. Sad to see all…read morethe people who lack basic life skills complain. They have always 100% supported,taught and given good advice. I'll always shop at leisure hours. There's no better place in Chicagoland. For the cry baby's if you can't read a manual and locate a part number don't buy a remote controlled car. Teach the kids some life skills and have them build a parts list and know the components. Prices always can't match online stores either. There's a price to pay for getting it today vs waiting on shipping they have bills to pay and rent for a store front with more overhead.

Briefly visited his Hobby Lobby store and it was kind of exciting because I haven't been in one of…read morethese stores in years. The store feature tons of art and crafts! I was looking to hand make gifts for a birthday idea with my wife and this place had a great deal of most stuff some of the items like hats and caps are cheaply made so be careful washing it. Tons of great ideas if you're into putting pictures throughout your entire house and there is an endless amount of decor no matter what time of the season because it could be Halloween and Christmas inside at all times. Staff here was pretty friendly, the store is located in a busy strip mall with many things going on so be wary of traffic. Overall the store was pretty modern and has a lot of eye-catching things. Overall I thought was a decent story to check out and visit.

For the time of year it made it feel very festive. I thought the selection of items varied throughout from clothes, to toys, to oddities and more.

My father died when I was 16 years old. Five years ago in 2019? My mother died from breast cancer…read more They both collected coins, taught me to love them & passed down their collections to me. We thought my mother beat breast cancer. She died suddenly 12.22.19 after reconstructive surgery. I was not in the right state of mind at all. She was my every thing & best friend in the entire world, maybe even my only friend. I was unmedicated & a mess. So, right after I lost my mother at 32 years old, I walked into icoin. This was not a premeditated thing. This was the first, last & only time I did any thing like this. I was in a really dark place. I started taking Morgan silver dollars one by one, mindlessly, as this elderly man looked away. I got home & decided that I was a terrible person, grabbed 7 of my own key date Morgan dollars & went back to icoin to make amends. The police were already there. I gave them every thing back & so much more: the very best key date silver Morgan dollars that exist, of my own, to try to make things right. If you know any thing about Morgans? The key date ones are 10's of thousands of dollars. Of course, Dennis (the owner of Icoin) did not press charges. What grounds did he have to stand upon? I gave them every thing back & more! The officer prayed with me. Since then, I have gotten professional help & am medicated. Dennis? Prints out a picture of my license, which is really invasive in itself, & gives it to every single coin show or convention's sponsors. I have my parents' collections & I really need money. Dennis continues to harass me at every single event for over 5 years, now. He proceeds to have security escort me out & treats me like a criminal. He manipulates the people running events into telling me that if I come back there ever again? I will be trespassing. I tried calling the police one time & they told me that I couldn't go into the show, either. This is not fair or okay to do to any one! I have not been able to sell any of my parents' collection because of the harassment from Dennis! FOR OVER FIVE YEARS, NOW, WITHOUT FAIL, HE CONTINUES TO HARASS ME AT COIN SHOPS, SHOWS & CONVENTIONS!!!!! Dennis has no heart. I have endlessly called & apologized, begged, pleaded, crying hysterically trying to tell them my mother had just died & I am better, now. I was even going to this other shop in Bolingbrook, 'Chicagoland Rare Coins' & while I was in the store, Dennis got there and I was already friends with Jon, the owner in Bolingbrook but I told him what happened to me at icoin. So, Jon asked me if I could just wait in my car while he does business with Dennis & that was fine. I sat in my car before they even got there. While I was sitting there, when Dennis & his wife saw me? They both flicked me off in the parking lot. When I saw them, before they flicked me off? I just put my hands together bowed asking for forgiveness but Dennis & apparently his wife, will not give me any. I am assuming they gave Jon of Bolingbrook's 'Chicagoland's Rare Coins' an ultimatum because Jon told me that I cannot come back to his shop because of his business with Dennis. What ever Dennis told Jon? Scared him enough to cut me completely off. I am assuming it is that the coin world is extremely tight knit & small, because it is. I am tired of being harassed by the owner of icoin for some thing that I never did, to begin with! As a matter of fact? I came directly back to the shop to face the music & donated 7 silver key date Morgans for the inconvenience! I was in a dark place! Even being there, I knew it was the right thing to do by immediately returning the coins & giving him some of my own. I will be getting an OP against Dennis if he gets me thrown out of another coin shop, show or convention & I'm going to take him to court. I have done nothing wrong! I have nothing to be ashamed of! If any thing? Icoin hustled me out of 7 silver key date Morgan dollars. If they cannot forgive me? I want all of it back & am not seeking forgiveness for some thing that I never did in the first place, ever again!

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.
