It's a cute spot a block off the main street, with character and charm to spare! They've got a pretty epic selection of board games, cards games, puzzles, kits and some TCGs including Pokémon and D&D. The frisbee section was also quite impressive. The place isn't massive but isn't small either. We spent like 30 minute perusing and liked what we found. The folks running the shop were very helpful and very nice. They all seemed to have played a lot of board games! Prices were where we expected them - not a discount shop, but nothing crazy. Very much what we expected to pay and based on the Pokémon ETB and two board games were walked out with, I'd say we're fans!

The folks here are very considerate and helpful, and open to helping me bring some of my crazy ideas to life. I'm so happy specialty stores like this still exist, and I hope as a community we can continue supporting them. There is no replacement for the years of expertise these shopkeepers bring to the retail experience. There is a large parking lot in front of the store, which is convenient because the neighborhood tends to be pretty busy. And the parking enforcement can be quite unforgiving in the area.

My one and only visit to Mindtaker Miniatures (so far!) was the result of a lucky windfall: finding…read morea board game I wanted for cheap online, only to discover it was being sold by this local retailer, and available for free pickup, making it even cheaper! Noice! Upon entering, I was greeted cordially by the person at the counter, given a tour of the shop, and an explanation of their (mostly secondhand, but high quality) business model that allows them to undercut other shops, as well as the predatory pricing of certain miniature manufacturers (if you're a wargamer, you know who I'm talking about). Everything from RPG books, figurines, paints, board games, dice, toys and accessories can be found within, new and/or used, and if you're okay with a gently loved, open box copy of whatever it is you're looking for, it's likely going to be a steal of a deal! With a local presence as robust as its online counterpart; an incredible and extensive selection of esoteric essentials and accessories; friendly and helpful employees; and more-than-competitive prices, Mindtaker Miniatures is here to stay and play 'til the endgame, score a truckload of points, and emerge the likely victor of the gaming grand melee!

I lost my husband and every time I went into the garage and saw his boxes of Warhammer armies, it brought me to my knees. I needed to let them go but every time I posted them for sale I'd get rude super low offers and people telling me they weren't worth anything but they would be glad to take them off my hands for free. Even had one person offer to take them as long as I paid for shipping them to him. I'm brand new to the area and I can easily tell you that this establishment has secured a consumer and supporter for life. Thank you to Mindtaker Miniatures and your staff, for making this so much easier for me, and for giving me a fair and reasonable price for my husbands collection. It does my heart good knowing my husbands collection will go on to people who will love and appreciate it as much as he did. I'll be leaving this same review on Google, Yelp, Facebook and anywhere else I can to promote what an amazing store and group of employees you have. Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart and the depth of my soul, Thank You! Please go to this store and you will see for yourself that not only do they have everything you could ever want or need for gaming but they also have the most amazing staff you will ever meet! Just don't offer to do hair! Their local stylist will hunt you down! (JK an inside joke between one of the employees and myself, just to show them I remember them and appreciate their support and kindness while I was there)

Definitely more land-oriented and is mainstream brand oriented (Traxxas, Axial, Spektrum, Horizon, Lectron, E-Flite, etc...), but is a good place to get parts when you need for those brands. Good for general hobby gear. Connectors, tools, couple/few TX and RX options for land and air. Don't expect to find most brands you'll find at online retailers that pedal in the cheaper/more generic Chinese goods. TGY, HK, Orange and whatnot. Owner can come off a little rude when you first meet him, but he means well and will get you taken care of and is a wealth of information. We're all just people and I'm sure there are some he rubs the wrong way at first meet (me, included, but no lie he's a great guy I've found over time!) and some that he clicks with.
