    My son searched for a train store while we were in the area and found this. This place was one of…read morethe most organized train shops I have seen. He bought a used Lionel transformer and an HO Doodlebug Trolley labeled as DNW (Does Not Work). As it turns out the gears had old grease on it that I was able to clean up. He now has a working transformer and trolley. All for $20 so a super great deal from a very friendly staff. Thank you for making a child continue to love trains.

    I unfortunately had a negative experience after pulling into this store's parking lot due to…read moreunexpected car trouble. My check engine light came on while driving, so I safely pulled into this mostly empty lot to assess the situation. I contacted AAA for guidance, and while waiting for instructions, I began checking my tire pressure as advised. Shortly after, I was approached by a man I believe to be the owner. I explained that I was dealing with a possible vehicle issue and was currently on the phone with AAA to determine whether it was safe to continue driving. Despite this, I was told--firmly and without concern for the situation--that I needed to move my vehicle immediately. I tried to explain that I was actively trying to assess whether the car was safe to drive, but I was still pressed to leave. The interaction escalated, and I was told I was "entitled" and taking up space during their "busy season," even though I was the only car in a group of ten spots and a largely empty parking lot. At one point, I was told to either hand over my keys or pay $20, which was very surprising in the context of the situation. Once AAA confirmed it was safe to move the vehicle, I left the lot and went to a nearby public area to wait for further assistance. I understand that private parking lots are intended for customers, and I respect that policy. However, I was disappointed by the lack of understanding given the circumstances and the tone of the interaction during what was a stressful and uncertain situation.

    Adventure Games in Dickson City, PA is NOT a safe place to go to if you have mental health issues…read moreor support people who have them. This is a 1st hand account, and I am posting this to protect our community of gamers. Incident occurred December 2022 I belong to a Messenger group used by a person hosting a game there, but the group was not organized or associated with Adventure Games. On the orders of Heather, a manager of Adventure Games, a member was ordered to post about mental health issues of a person who frequents the store. They did not have the permission of the group founder or the person with the issues. When confronted about how inappropriate their claim "we don't have the full story and have had problems with the person in the past". It was pointed out that they were not providing the full story but only what was needed to post the worst picture. They stand by their decision. We do not know how many other people Adventure Games may have spread word to, but that is exactly why I encourage anyone who cares about others struggling mental illness to avoid this place and spend your money elsewhere. Any place of business who talks about a person's mental health without the person's knowledge or permission is a clear danger to the community.

    I walked in this store looking to buy about $300 worth of miniatures. The bearded young man came up…read moreto me and said "excuse me Sir but you need to cover that up" pointing to my empy plastic gun holster on my belt. I asked an empty holster is an issue? He said it might "offend sensitive fellow customers" in the store. A store full of young men playing pretend war games like Warhammer offended by an actual "war" accessory sans weapon. The signs in Dickson city say we honor our veterans but may I say this service connected disabled veteran of Enduring Freedom and 14 years of service in the USAF and USAFR doesn't feel "honored" in Dickson City. On the contrary being corrected on how to appear in a store by someone 4 decades my junior might be construed to be the opposite of what the flags all over Dickson City and in front of your store claim. In gamer turns from one old nerd to another. EPIC FAIl!( Store rates zero stars for customer service about 4 stars for miniature selection)

    The positive: The selection of products and sales are fantastic and the associates who work on the…read morefloor are always helpful and polite, especially Bill in the framing dept. The negative: Every manager and/or assistant manager we have encountered here for over many years has been rude in their interactions with us. Answers to our queries are short and without a smile or pleasant comments. They've also not acknowledged us as customers if the associate has a question regarding our items at checkout. Very surprising that a Christian company would consistently employ miserable people in the managerial position. What kind of an example are they to the public of a joyful follower of Christ? And if they aren't a Christian, perhaps Hobby Lobby should be reconsidering who they hire to represent their company.

So…read moreafter all the clamps and restraints were painfully put in place, I decided to Give Up, grab a cart, and give this store a look see. And what do you know, Yup, it's a craft store alright, juust like I thought it would be. And juust like it says on the 40 foot sign on the front of the building.    Aaaand let's see what's down Every isle why don't we. sure, great. How many glue guns does one person need? "what? nothing, nevermind" wow alot of fake flowers up in here too. And what is this thing for? "Put it in the cart already!" of course. "This place is Freakin HUGE, are you sure we can't just skip a few isles?" "NO!" [of course not I said while testing my restraints]    And then it happened. I got it, "it's all clearly right in front of me like a thousand inspirational signs which were obviously made just for yours truly. This store is actually speaking to me through it's merchandise.  W O A H ! !"   Ok, you win. You broke me. I Like This Store Now. Okay, there I said it. Can we go now? Come And Get Your Shopping On!! [seriously]   [help] [me]  ;D
