If you love vintage plastic model kits, this place is heaven on earth. This is one of the VERY FEW…read morebusinesses left anywhere in the Midwest, now that CRM in St Louis is mail-order only and Big Bear Hobby in Milwaukee has closed due to the passing of its longtime owner. Dean's Hobby Stop is a mecca of vintage kits, many in amazingly good condition considering they are 30-50 years old mostly, and at much better prices that you might pay on eBay. Not to mention you save the expense and risk of shipping if you come to the store in person. I live in Chicago and have family in the Detroit area, but I'll go quite a bit out of my way to come here whenever I can. Dean is a real gentleman and his wife and partner is a real gem too!

I've been doing business with Dean for over ten years and…read more never had a problem getting models shipped to me. I'm in the Sacramento area of California and there is nothing like Dean's place out here. He'll always hold items for you until you're ready to call back and pay for them. Good service, friendly staff and, to say he's well stocked with models- that's quite an understatement! There might be a few others out there like Dean, but they don't do what he does!

Al and Vicky. They are actually the focal point of this place. Personable, eccentric and quirky…read more Yes, they will follow you around as you browse. They're not paranoid of you; they're just friendly and want to help. But what they REALLY want to do is play a game with you - like a FLUX card game. (I played the CAT version.) Speaking of cat, their 17 yr old kitty died last year. Don't be too hard on them. The place is dated, cluttered and musty. But they're great people and that's what matters.

Still a great store. They are taking covid protocols very seriously. Remember to wear your mask!…read moreAlso, no credit cards. You need cash here.

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.

This place was fun - I've been to the River Place Shops before but for some reason had never…read morestopped by. They have a HUGE selection of games, gamer-related items, and other things. My boyfriend ended up buying a game he found there, and I was intrigued by the huge selection of Monopoly themed games, such as a Schitt's Creek one. It gets 4 stars from me instead of 5 because the pricing is high - I don't mind supporting small businesses and paying a little more, but my boyfriend looked up one game online and it was like $29.99 at Target or Amazon or somewhere, and they were asking $50 for it, which is quite a lot. I think the game he bought was only like a $2 upcharge, which isn't bad. They also have some fun puzzles, there was a UM one that was a photograph from a Sept. 2011 game. Worth stopping by if you like puzzles, games, or gaming systems.
