I will never go back over here and I am an adult not a kid! He was so cheap with us and he discriminated us. When I would talk he would say oh I don't care how much you bought those for. I will never go back there, he made us feel so uncomfortable! I went to the next card shop and they treated us like "PEOPLE" and bought my cards at a better price! BEWARE guy has no patience and is so mean!

The coolest thing about this nursery is that it's actually not a nursery at all. You drive in the…read moredirt road of the nursery and can walk around, check out the plants and buy fertilizer and seeds or whatever, but smack in the middle is a huge train shop! They sell everything from Thomas the tank engine all the way up to huge garden scale trains. There are big, working O scale model trains set up inside the store and row after row of trains on the shelves and in glass display cases. They have all different styles and scales, from cheap plastic toys to brass models worth thousands. Totally cool! Bring the kids... They have a web site at staubintrains dot com

This store is simply amazing for the train lover!…read more They have everything here that you will ever need. From vintage trains and accessories and tools that you need to repair them, to new trains and toys, paint and plays, this store is a throwback to when everyone collected trains. There's model kits, puzzles and modern toys for the little ones, I particularly loved the vintage section with some older models on display. It's time to just walk around here, i never knew that such a store existed.

I am Earthling1984 on youtube and have purchased many of my rc vehicles here. I've been a…read morecustomer for 5+ years and since my first visit recieved nothing but great service. I saw a couple 1 star reviews based on returns. RC vehicles that work when sold cannot be returned once used! Too many people damage their RC due to lack of skill then expect a refund for some reason. This is not right! If you do encounter a problem days, weeks, or months after a purchase, contact the manufacturer and see if they can help! This is a hobby to learn and yes, damage and other problems happen sometimes, that is part of the hobby! Badically their prices are the standard, service is kind and courteous, and they have a great selection. 5 stars!

NEVER BUYING FROM HERE AGAIN. RUDE AND LIARS!…read more Brought my kids to buy some model kits and some old guy goes up to my first son that was looking at the fidget toys. He tells my son to put it back cuz it might get dirty. I heard him say that to him. So he walks away from the fidget toys to me and i asked him i heard what i heard. So i ignored it. A few mins later, I checked on my other son looking at some other toys and im just watching on the other end of the isle. This old guys goes up to my son. My son is rummaging through the bins. He basically tells him to put the toy back. Im watching the whole time and i walk to to them and he tells me he was opening the package, which he was not cuz. Then the kid behind the counter says he was. First of all my kids know not to open any toys without buying it first. So these two people lied to my face to make my son be a bad guy. So my eight year old son starts crying in the store. The old guy said he said it nicely which was far from the truth. He scolded him for looking at the toys. This is a hobby shop with toys everywhere, why would you tell kids to put the toys down. So i put the things back that i was gonna buy and walked out with my kids. I support local businesses before buying online but I will gladly pay the shipping to not deal with that type of customer service. Shame on you guys for treating children that way.

I acknowledge that your local game store is going to pull all sorts of demographics. As a parent, I…read moredidn't know what to expect bringing my 5-year-old into the local game shop. But this is definitely going to be a local store that we'll be going to a lot more, even if the prices are a little higher for them to make margins. This is the kind of game store I want in keep in our community! I'll admit I was a little apprehensive to engage with the staff at first due to my inexperience in this kind of envitonmemt, but my kid immediately gravitated toward the Pokemon cards behind the glass counter and we were asked if there was anything we needed help with. We have been looking all over for affordable, genuine cards to little avail. Unfortunately, the cards at this shop were all way outside our range (he's just trying to get started out): $45+ booster boxes or $5+ individual cards. We were obviously not going to be able to make a purchase today (looking for something like one $5 booster pack) but the team member was very helpful taking the time to explain the kids trading card market, suggest other places to look, offer advice on finding affordable cards, and let my kid take his time to pour over the cards behind the counter. On the way out, he generously shared a simple gift that meant so much for my kid. I don't know if he'll read this but thank you so much for making my kid's day - he was over the moon to have some Pokemon cards of his own to share with his friends at school. This is the kind of local game store that is a treasure to have in the community. I definitely will be bringing my kids around in the future to support it some more! Thanks again!

After having Sunday brunch nearby I was looking for video game stores to stop at on my way back to…read moreWisconsin. Everything Games was close by and open, so I drove over to check them out. The store is impressive. They have an awesome selection of retro video games, board games, LEGO, miniatures for Warhammer, anime related plush, sports cards, and card games like Magic, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh. There's even a good size gaming area where I saw people playing in a card game tournament. As good as the inventory was, their customer service was even better. A specific video game I wanted was priced $10 more than the current market value, so I brought that to their attention. Rather than getting mad and arguing with me about their prices, the employee pulled up the same website I was using for a reference and confirmed what I was seeing. He then adjusted the price without hesitation. Now that's customer service. I would glad to go out of my way to come back to Everything Games next time I'm in the Chicago area.
