She had a lot of customers, but she took the time to greet everyone and and had the cutest interaction with a young kid super excited to buy some cards. You can tell Mandy loves what she does and her positivity is infectious. The store has an amazing selection and I will definitely be back. Couldn't recommend this store more for all of your table top gaming needs or even just a friendly chat.

Initially I loved this place, it was a LITTLE more than the competitors but it was in a mall and I…read moreget you have to keep the lights on, etc.. so it wasn't a bad experience as much as I knew I wasn't going there to get a deal. Kids in the store were nice, cool little eclectic blend of employees, had WAY more Manga then I was into but a solid back selection too and I'd almost always find at least one or two things you didn't know existed. Overall was great for an every 10 weeks trip or so... ( here comes the but...) That being said, August of last year they sold my son a broke in the box General Grievous, big 200 buck one, he was ECSTATIC to buy it but they didn't disclose it was broken, the arm was glued, it wasn't " working" ( Mass law that you can't sell something you know is broke.. we don't have an As-Is law that permits that) and unfortunately he didn't open the box until we got in. I took pictures instantly and we returned to the store immediately and the manager was " going to contact us".. guys name was Phil ( he and his whole staff have been fired since, I'm guessing they were stealing or doing something shady). Told that we broke it ( um... WHEN would we have had time to?!?) and he proceeded to lie to the credit card company as well. Long story short, we're taking them to small claims court and including treble damages because of the intent to deceive, the amount of my time he wasted over what I'm sure they KNEW was their own scam since the arm was super glued... etc etc... It's good that Phil has been fired and good that we're going to get our money back but it's just garbage that ANYONE would try to pull that stunt on a 12 year old autistic kid. Just complete scumbaggery. Ok so in short: Good selection. Ok prices. Really bad human beings. Also, apparently don't know Mass General Laws... probably should learn those guys.. P.S. I'd settle for a refund and an apology from the owner/manager who shows up at court next week. I'd probably change the review to reflect this as it wasn't the owners fault or current management but they've had a ton of time to reach out on this one and haven't. Doesn't help that they tried to say they have " experts" who claim we broke it... maybe the business is seedy, I don't know, I just know they tried to rob a kid who cleaned up an awful lot of dog poop to save that money up..

This place is an absolute rip off. Do not come here to sell any of your stuff or buy anything for…read morethat matter. You are much better off going on eBay or somewhere else to find collectibles than here. The store is run by absolutely incompetent people that are not helpful and very rude. Dan has absolutely zero knowledge of any collectibles or what they are worth and is a huge waste of time to talk to you as well. I could name at least five other decent collectible stores in the state of Massachusetts that would outdo this place in a heartbeat. A bunch of amateurs run this place and I will not be doing business with them again. Once again, save your money and look on eBay or other collectible stores in the area, but certainly don't give these guys another minute of your time.

I can not express to you how kind, compassionate, and happy the workers are here. There's always…read morelike 20 people working and every single person from the books to the kitchen staff is happy and cheerful and so kind. Honestly, this is refreshing as corporations understaff and stress their employees. This local owner know what we the patrons want, we want people who are happy with their jobs and that's done by great staffing. This is my go to for any gift. Yes, you're paying more for a book than you would on Amazon but this is the opposite of a greedy corporation who screws everyone. This is truly local and I'm lucky to live 20 mins away.

I always drive past this place on my way home from the Wrentham Outlets. I finally got around to…read moregoing inside. My friend and I went on a weekday night, about 2 hours before closing so it was pretty quiet. I initially thought the bookstore was only on the first floor of the building but turns out it's a multi-story experience. There is a parking lot at the back where I parked and I was able to enter through the back door (not sure if this is the main entrance). On the first floor, they have some books, bathrooms, a check out desk, nick nacks (hats, stationery, puzzles, etc.), and most importantly, a coffee shop. The coffee shop was closing up around the time we got there so plan accordingly and do some research on their hours. as they are not the same as the bookstore. The books are clearly labeled by genre. After taking a stroll, we decided to check out the second floor which was supposed to have a little market, a stage where they host events, and some very comfortable couches along with tables and chairs. I mostly came to see if a book spoke to me, but also to get some reading in from the book I brought along with me. The lighting is good, although I sometimes prefer to have a dimmer setting for a cozier feel. We spent about 1.25 hours here, but we could have easily spent a longer time if it weren't so close to closing.

I walked into Hometown Collectibles in Emerald Square Mall. As I walked into the store I greeted the guy working behind the he said hi and I proceeded to look through the store. About 10 minutes later an older man (who I discovered later was one of the owners) walks in and starts to loudly berate the counter worker about a person wandering around the store (me) and he wasn't watching me well enough. I have been collecting comics for many years and in the back of the store I noticed a huge stock of comic books, but they are separated from the customers by display counters so there is no way for me to look through or purchase any of them. The owner came over to me pretty much to see what I was doing in his store and I asked about how he sells the comics. He told me a story about how he sold some comics at a low price and that purchaser's friend came in to also buy comics and "bragged" about getting a good deal. The owner does not sell out of the store anymore because he doesn't think he can get every penny he can and will only sell graded books online. I highly suggest you stay clear of this place. The owner does not care about making happy customers only about how much money he can get out of you. The prices are unrealistically high, the greed factor is very strong with this establishment. The owner will not even sell to you unless he is confident he has gotten your very last dollar. The owner treats both his employees and customers with a great deal of contempt.

Stopped into Hobby Lobby in Foxboro out of curiosity--probably shouldn't have. The store feels like…read morean odd blend of AC Moore and Michaels, with a confusing layout that randomly incorporates furniture, fabrics, and home décor. I expected something more in line with actual hobbies--like model kits, remote-controlled cars, or electronics--but instead found aisles of artificial flowers, seasonal decorations, and generic craft items. There's a vaguely Ocean State Job Lot or Christmas Tree Shops vibe in parts of the store, which makes it feel more like a discount décor warehouse than a true hobbyist destination. Not sure what I was hoping for, but overall, it's pretty dull and uninspiring. If you're into scrapbooking or wreath-making, maybe it's for you--but if you're looking for actual hobby supplies, you'll probably leave disappointed.

Went to buy fabric this weekend- Mother's Day weekend and a huge fabric sale going on. Walked…read morearound the fabric section for well over 30 minutes (enough time that anyone on a break would have returned) not a single employee in sight to cut fabric. Rang the bell multiple times- watched other employees walk by me peaking through isles. Someone else in line finally went up front to have someone paged. The woman was slooowwww and rude to multiple customers. I had a lot to get cut and tried to be nice but it took forever! I watched more than 1 customer literally put fabric back and walk away. Only when I was almost done did another employee (the same one I saw peaking at me) come up to help. Tell me why, when your only open 1 weekend day- and that day is before a holiday and you have a huge sale- You don't have an employee staying in the area? There was plenty of fabric to put away- it was piled high on the tables and floor all around- so it wasn't that the employee didn't have work to keep her busy in the fabric section.
