This place is amazing! I went in to ask for advice on some vintage cards I have, and I met Ronnie…read more He's an incredible person - if PSA graded people, he'd be mint. Ronnie was super helpful, fun to talk to, and gave me a ton of advice. He's passionate about what he does, knows his stuff, and has a great collection of all sorts of collectibles. I visited Elite Cards #2, and I'm sure I'd have the same great experience at his other store. He wouldn't take a dime from me, by the way. You really should check it out!

I walked into this shop for the first time today itching for tips, and ready to drop a lot of cash…read more The guy at the counter just said "what are you looking for " to which I answered military models. He replied "behind you ". Ok so far,...right? I said I haven't built a model in 30 years, he replied " I don't want to hear it. They cost more than a dollar." I thought well maybe it's his sense of humor, but when I said I wanted to get back in to it he again replied " I don't want to hear it.". The shop had everything thing I needed with exception of the owner. In case you're wondering...he never even cracked a smile, or put down his newspaper. He did make a comment about people buying on the internet.....gee I wonder why.

I do not have enough good things to say about Challengers. The staff know what they're talking…read moreabout and have always been extremely helpful. If I go in without knowing what I want, they're always there to help me find something cool to read. The sidekick section is fantastic, especially if you have children or are there to pick something up for a kid. Challengers is so great that I patron it as frequently as I am able too. I wish there were more stars to give it. If you're a nerd, a geek or a comic book junkie, then come to Challengers. You will not be sorry.

Made an order for a delivery, it was a long box and it costed around $10 dollars. Didn't hear…read moreanything about the delivery for months until I sent a message to the company's email. They said the order was for pickup only, even though there was no indication for it being a pickup only. I asked the guy if I could at least get a refund and he never responded. It was only $10 bucks so it's not like the end of the world. But still very unprofessional behavior. EDIT AFTER RESPONSE: Thanks for proving my point of how unprofessional you really are. I leave one 1-star review in the middle of the night and within moments you respond with a passive aggressive essay. You already have five stars for your business and you immediately attack any 1-star reviewers like they personally insulted you. Ever hear of 'customer courtesy'? All you told me via email is that my order was cancelled. That's it. Depending on the buisness, an order can be cancelled but not refunded. All I wanted was clarification whether I was getting my money back or not. You NEVER RESPONDED. What was I supposed to assume? And what's that petty 1-star review comment? Should I have given you a higher rating? Why? I ordered an item, waited, asked for updates on the item's delivery, got my order cancelled, and never got a response afterwards. Does any part of that sound remotely pleasant? It honestly wasn't even that big a deal for me, but the fact that you replied within moments to me with an extremely petty essay means you MADE IT a big deal. Learn to take criticism. EDIT RESPONSE 2: "full of misleading and erroneous information". I accidentally said months instead of weeks. Nothing else was a lie. I didn't know I got my money back until I made a 1-star review on your comic shop. Once again, I asked via email to CLARIFY whether I got a REFUND or not. You NEVER replied to me. I only know now because I got a response from a business owner or manager who can't handle one ounce of criticism. "This is obviously "that big of a deal" for you, because here you are, almost 2 months later, well after you were refunded, denigrating a business that handled your mistake in minutes." I'm back 2 months later because I thought I should tell others about my experience. I saw how unprofessionally you respond to all other low rating comments. I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt that you would've changed and I wouldn't be screamed at for my review. But here we are. Your acting like I made a scathing review of your store that will make it fall into complete bankruptcy. I made one review saying I wasn't satisfied with your store, get over yourself. Once again, that is the MINIMUM of what you should do. If I go to McDonalds, order something, and there was a mistake of some kind, it's the MINIMUM of the McDonald employees to fix the mistake. You act like fixing a mistake should be seen as an outstanding achievement and not a standard business practice. Do you honestly believe I should've given you five stars because you did the very minimum of your job? Unbelievable. I tried out your company, I was unsatisfied, and I'm giving it the score I believe it deserves based on my experience. Accept it and move on.

Great little Japanese toy shop in Logan Square. They have a bunch of models of monsters, manga…read morecharacters and super heroes. They have Japanese candies and other little odd things. My kids love to go in and browse. The owners are friendly and don't mind you just looking around (we sure do it often enough). It's definitely a specialty shop, and probably doesn't appeal to everyone, but if this is your thing you will be really happy you stopped in. Lastly, I have no idea what this stuff is supposed to cost, but the prices seem reasonable.

I had been curious about this place since it opened not too long ago. Mobile phone servicing and…read morecollectible toys is an unusual combination. When I finally came in, to seek some help with a Samsung phone, I had a great experience. The support I got for my phone was courteous and professional. We stayed focused on the problem I came in to solve, and I was in and out the door quickly. Not being a toy collector, I didn't check out the toy section. However, I do know a fair amount of nerds that I'm sure would love to get their hands on some of the items I saw on display.

Absolutely the worst business owner I've ever seen. He'll…read moretell you a price and then change it over & over. Also, Don't waste your time trying to bring your toys in to sell. He'll give you 5% of what they are actually worth. And he's extremely overpriced as is. Also, get the feeling that a lot of Julian's products are stolen. Trust us, this is not the kind of store you want to go into, especially if you have kids. Beware.

First time coming here, me and my wife accidentally found this place well shopping at one of the…read morestores. It's hidden inside of a little walkable Mall in the far back corner. This place just celebrated its one year anniversary. This place is full of amazing collectibles and they even have people come by and have little autograph signings too. Plenty of items like cards, posters, framed items and other sorts of rare collectibles. The owner was really nice and really loves the people that comes in to his establishment. He treats everybody like family and I really enjoyed that! Overall , the prices on everything are very fair and they're truly worth it. Great gifts for yourself or a surprise gift for someone else.
