My wife and I know less than nothing about Pokémon cards, except that our grandsons like them. Today we took our 11 year old, Adam to buy his birthday present from us. The staff there was most accommodating and patient and friendly. They demonstrated great consideration for my ignorance and they answered all my questions even though they were quite busy. The store was quite neat and appeared to be well stocked. My grandson was very pleased with the array of cards he was able together. His grandparents were thankful that we didn't have to dip into our "mattress fund" nor did we have to remember exactly where to dig up the money buried in the yard! In other words we got a good "bang for our bucks"! The value was just what we hoped it would be, and our grandson was happy. read more

Everything you would want as a magic player....minus the snowflakes that can become offended and ban a proxying customer whilst they play a fully payed for deck that they bought from the shop. Meanwhile, you invest in a printer to proxy and are banned forever to continue an all are welcome perception. Props to the staff for their knowledge but sadly ownership is too scared of the rightist offense culture to keep paying customers. read more

Great little shop! Well organized, staff and patrons were friendly and welcoming, and based on the one negative review I see on here, it looks like they do a great job at keeping it that way for everybody. Kudos! I will be back! read more

I would have given 5 stars but it is Always cluttered and being that I have been on crutches recently, it's even harder to maneuver around in the store. I really love this shop otherwise. We purchase All our Magic cards from here. They have a wide variety of single cards and factory decks, card sleeves, dice, play mats, deck holders, board games, Pokémon, Yugio, Dungeons & Dragons, Shadow Run and other RPGs. There is a little something for everyone here at Dragon Star. They regularly hold events for MTG every night. You can bring your games and play with others or just nerd out by yourself. They have snacks and drinks on site for purchase, everything you need to escape reality for the day. read more

Dragon Star Hobbies - #113 - Toy Stores Near Me - Athens, Georgia

I absolutely LOVE Dragon Star Hobbies!! If you're into table top games, MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokemon, this is the place to shop! The overall atmosphere is super chill and friendly! My daughter plays Pokemon there and I actually play Yu-Gi-Oh on occasion. It's like a second home and I 100% recommend those place if you like cards, want to make new friends and just want to hang out! read more

Very nice shop for wargaming and board/card games. The store is kept well organized and has a very large selection of games to buy and demo. Friendly staff offered to help and were knowledgeable on the games they had in stock and, of course, magic. Wide selection of warhammer, 40k, reaper/D&D, armada, and X-Wing models. Not many obscure wargaming options though. A lot of tables set up, some of which made it difficult to get access to games on the wall. If people were in them you wouldn't have access to those games. Definitely the best shop in Athens for playing games with friends. read more

I was a broken, empty shell of a man when I found Dragon Star Hobbies. After 2 years of playing MTG at Dragon Star I am no longer broken and I was able to climb 1/2 way up Stone Mountain. After 2 years of playing board games at Dragon Star I am no longer an empty shell, but a full egg - I've even heard some call me "Humpty Dumpty" when they didn't think I could hear. After 2 years of playing Pokémon at Dragon Star I am no longer a man as I have come to learn that I am a mxn (cis man who calls history Herstory). An intact egg mxn. The thing is, I've been playing these games at Dragon Star for 3 years, not 2. Last year at this time everything was hunky-dory and I was an intact egg mxn. About a year ago though I lost everything I owned to a pyramid scheme and I was down to 1 MTG card and the clothes on my back. I brought my card in and the owner of the store (a kinda tall guy who thinks he's punk rock or something) gave me a really fair price. With this money I was able to get back on my feet and here I am an intact egg mxn typing this on my very own smart phone. read more

My boyfriend is into D&D and MTG so this is my go to spot to get things for him. The staff is always super nice, the prices are fair, and the staff are incredibly patient in helping me pick items that match the interests of my boyfriend since I know nothing about either game. They also have taken the most COVID precautions of any business I know. Having vaccinated staff, making masks mandatory, and routine staff testing showed a genuine investment in the wellbeing of customers. Absolutely recommend this shop to anyone. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful with all my suggested purchases being loved by the receiver. read more
