Also a great place to shop for unique gifts for kids. I come here to buy role-playing game products and miniatures and paint supplies. They've really expanded in that department, and on several occasions it's been the only place I could find certain games. Rider's is definitely worth checking out.

My boyfriend and I recently got into RC cars, and he has visited Riders a few times to pick up…read moreparts. Unfortunately, each visit has been disappointing. They often sell him the wrong items or are completely out of what he needs to get his RC car running. Most recently, he purchased a brushless motor they recommended, and we returned today hoping to buy a transmitter. To our surprise, we were informed that they wouldn't have any in stock until the end of August! To add to our frustration, they have a strict no-return policy, so we're stuck with parts that don't work for us. It's frustrating to rely on a shop that consistently misses the mark on customer needs and doesn't offer refunds for incorrect purchases. We won't be coming back and want to warn others to think twice before buying from them.

10/10 Best Tabletop Gaming store in West Michigan!…read more Jesse has helped build an amazing community that has something for everyone. If you have ever wanted to get into tabletop gaming, modeling, painting, or TCG's like Magic: The Gathering Far Harbor is the place to be! Jesse (the owner) and the other players there are always willing to lend a hand and answer questions about any of the product in store. Which is a TON of product! You will never find a more knowledgeable staff and player base than the one at Far Harbor. They all actually play the games that the store sells, rather than other "game stores" that just sell product but don't know anything about the game at all. They offer a great discount on most items, and also host a TON of community events like tournaments, demo days, and even hobby days. If your looking to get the best value out of your hard earned hobby money Far Harbor is the place to go! Plus Ash is the best boy of a shop dog!

Hobby Recycling is located just west of Grand Rapids. Besides having new merchandise they have gently used trains and scenery too. I have assembled an almost complete Amtrak Empire Builder and Santa Fe Chief. I also have a good start on a UP passenger train and Sound Transit's Sounder. If you have champagne taste and a Budweiser budget, this is the place to come for gently used trains.

My favorite gifts to give for baby showers are those indestructible books that you can wash with water! They seem to be pretty popular and Hopscotch usually has several different titles from that series. The last time I visited in September 2021, the inventory had expanded quite a bit since I was in the previous year. They have lots of toys, games, apparel, bath and body products, and accessories for younger kids (newborn to about 5 I would say). I didn't notice many options for big kids (12+). I did notice that there are a lot of items in the store that I've never seen before, but I also don't regularly shop at other children's stores. I like that they stock locally made and sustainable items. I also like that you can shop on their website and pick up at the store! They offer curbside pickup, which is great for those not wanting to or unable to go inside. If you're buying a gift, they will bag it up with a cute flower and tag which is so helpful, especially when I sometimes am purchasing a gift on my way to the baby shower, ha!
