I remember not liking The Collector years ago because of the pricing, and eventually stopped going…read morethere. Fast forward to recently, my girlfriend and I got back into collecting Pokémon cards. When she suggested giving The Collector another try, I was hesitant, but we decided to check it out again. To their credit, the pricing has improved compared to what I remembered, even though it still tends to be on the higher side. We also met a few people there and started making friends, which made the experience more enjoyable. Unfortunately, over time, those friendships seemed to fade for no apparent reason. It started to feel like we were being singled out or treated differently, and the overall atmosphere became uncomfortable. Whether that was intentional or not, it left us feeling unwelcome and targeted. Because of that experience, we've decided not to return. While there are some positive aspects to the store, the overall environment no longer feels like a place where we want to spend our time.

We're in town from out of state for vacation and found this wonderful gem of a store. There's nothing like this back home and I've been to many such stores in many states. Everything is reasonably priced and there are a huge variety of items they carry such as posters, blindbox figures, anime vinyl record/CD, and playmats. Did I mention the wall of figures and room filled with nothing but Gundam and similar model kits?I thought I'd faint in happiness when I stepped into the room. I wish I could stay a bit longer if I had the time. Overall, this is a must see destination for all anime fans and alike if and when you're in St Louis area.

I came here for the tools required of my Gundam build and this place did not disappoint. I expected to come and go, but I ended up staying to look around for 15-30 minutes. I do not have much pictures of the store, unfortunately, but this is a must to go here if you are a collector or simply enjoy doing builds as a hobby.

I was shocked at all the amazing items in this shop! Gigantic remote control cars, trucks and even boats! I didn't even know they made them that big! They are so cool! On the other side of the shop is an incredible selection of models! Hubby found a big WW II tank he had to have. But what really impressed me is the fantastic selection of model trains! Every size with absolutely everything to go with it! I had never seen so much stuff! Gorgeous little trees, animals, tiny people and buildings to decorate your train area! Tons of tracks and everything to design your dream train system! I'm not really into trains, but it made me want to be! If trains are your thing, you need to visit this little shop! Seriously fantastic hobby shop! Everyone who was working there was really nice too! Highly recommend!

The store is located conveniently, spacious and well organized, and carries a large selection of…read moremodels and board games, divided into each their own section. There is a board game library that I never ventured into, but it seems useful. Every game that anyone has ever mentioned by a boardgame loving friend, I've looked for here and found at competitive prices to Amazon, always here for the instant gratification and impulse buy&play. Staff is friendly for suggestions. There's also a really spacious and clean separate room for playing, though tbh I've never gotten the nerve to cross the threshold in. The reality of my life now is that Miniature Market has become part of our Sunday grocery run. The last stop before driving back. I hate it. I resent all the impulse purchases my husband makes, and how expensive miniature painting is as a hobby in general, and how easy they make it here to feed the addiction. So I'll still leave the draft I had saved for months up: 1 STAR A WASTE OF MY TIME AND MONEY But that wouldn't be fair, so.

Couple days later, I get an email saying they canceled my order and said that they won't receive the item for some reason. Why take days to process my order then say you will not receive the item so you have to cancel my order. If you don't have it or the item won't come in then list it out of stock. Horrible experience. Don't think I will ordwr from them again. First and last.

That being said, the management is top notch and the rest of the staff is exceptionally helpful. The selection of games and products are far better than your average gaming store. There's easily enough seating for a 50+ player event. And there are 2 gender neutral bathrooms (if that kind of thing is important to you). I definitely recommend dropping by if you're looking for that Magic: The Gathering or board game related product.
