I just experienced my first and last time in the store. The card selection was a bit overpriced,…read morebut the real disappointment was in the way that fellow card players have shown themselves to be a toxic and a loudmouthed community. One player in particular went out of his way to more or less yell that people playing a particular deck are "pieces of $hit.". Well needless to say I have far better things to do on a Saturday night then be verbally berated. I won't be back to this store and will actually be reporting them to riot games.

Make sure you clarify how you want your cards handled. When inspecting my cards, they took cards…read moreout of toploader and sleeves without asking. They also will rub their fingers over the surface of the card for an unknown reason. I hope they will be more careful in the future when handling expensive cards, including when pulling the card out of the toploader. They handed the man-handled card back to me raw. They had a great selection of modern and older sealed product. The computer was a awesome and can look up cards for sale. They "dont do foreign languages" for trade in

It's a small store that can be easily missed and parking can be tricky too honestly. It's exactly what a hobby / toy star should be from what's featured. Some stuff I don't think is kid appropriate like South Park characters etc but there are good games, some hard to find candy and tons of kid activities to keep their minds preoccupied and away from a phone

They get one star only because they have a large inventory of product, both in store and online…read more Everything else about this store is worthless. Their customer service is non-existent. Try getting someone to answer the phone or return an email. Forget it. Try to figure out their website search. Doesn't work. Try to get them to take a pre-order for you. Forget it again. And if you stop in the store in person and they don't know you personally, they treat you like a potential shoplifter or an idiot that knows nothing. Or they just ignore you and refuse to help you or answer questions. It seems you have to be a part of their club. But they WILL take your money. I'm done with Lombard, there are a lot of other places to shop that have the same prices and are a lot more friendly.

I saw a straight line down the far side (there's almost always a straight line for the 100% GO FAST!! crowd) funny thing about these places, they're way funner if you listen more than talk; more often than not the guy running it is a professional...

We worked with Mike to coordinate a surprise birthday party for our 5 year old who's obsessed with…read morecars. Mike was super easy to work with and pricing was very reasonable to host a 2 hour party for kids. The main track can be dialed back so that the kids won't send the cars off the track. Mike (one man team) did a great job of rotating the kids in for races and even had a separate area for those not racing to send hot wheels care down an inclined race track to pass time while they awaited their turn. Overall the event was a success. We were able to bring in pizza from next door for food. I have pretty fond memories of my dad taking my brother and I slot car racing when we were kids so it was a really cool to be able to share the same experience with my son and his friends. 'Til next time, cheers!

It's very convenient to know what's in stock and to get timely answers. Most hobby places I've dealt with in the past are very slow when it comes to responses/non existent. Outside of great communication, owner/staff are very friendly and overall fantastic people to deal with. To the fun stuff - it's a classic card shop with a great selection and cool memorabilia as well. They also do very fun raffles as well which is extra reason to continue to spend money on your hobby :) Keep up the great work!

(I'd read in other reviews that this coin shop has a dog onsite and the dog greeted me at the door with leaps & barks as I stood looking inside.) Kevin was the best. He offered to put the dog in another room, but I decided to be brave. Kevin helped me feel right at home in the shop and around his lovely pup, Morgan, as he quickly appraised my coins. The shop is bright and very tidy & welcoming. I was in and out in about 10 minutes and happy with the amount I received for my 10 Morgan silver dollars. I would definitely come back if I have other coins to sell. Easy street parking. Cute downtown Elmhurst location with loads of shops and restaurants nearby. I'm so glad I read the Yelp reviews (very positive ) and decided to give this shop my business today.

My brother is a big gamer, and I also enjoy board games, so my family swung in here while having…read morelunch in Downers Grove. There were lots of board and card games of all sorts, as well as dice, miniatures and paints, and a gaming area for community games. I appreciate that the rules for the space are clearly posted on the wall behind the register, so the expectation for everyone is established (I would imagine it makes it easier for staff to enforce as well, because they can just refer to the sign). The clerk was very friendly and gave me some info about a game I was interested in (a collaborative version of "The Fox in the Forest"; my fiance and I love the original version), which I ended up purchasing! Glad to support a local business! I'll be back for more games.

Every time I've ever stopped in, I've been treated kindly & with respect by the staff working there - which is *not* a given when you're a solo guy with tattoos shopping alone, trust & believe that. A really helpful & nice gentleman named Jackson showed me the "buy 1, get one 1 free" deal they were running for some of their paints. He made the process of shopping for/choosing different colors or different formulas really easy, & honored the deal fairly! He was helpful & cool. Anyone who is into wargaming, table top miniatures etc KNOWS that any kind of buy 1, get 1 deal on high end paints like Citadel, Vallejo or Army Painter is an insanely good value. Also, there has always been some kind of community gaming event happening whenever I've stopped in; which tells me it's *clearly* an important hub for the TCG/TWG community. As a hobbyist, grateful to have the store around. (PS, if you stock the new GW Aeldari kits for Lhykhis, Baharroth, or Swooping Hawks, I'd buy them)
