Every worker here seems to share a passion for books and the energy is infectious. I had to cut myself off, close my eyes, and slowly step away from the stacks. They also have some art and crafting supplies, paper goods, and vinyl. The prices are low and I think there might be some categories of people who qualify for discounts.

If you are into planes or trains, this store is a must see! The owner Steve is a very nice, patient…read moreand friendly guy. He is by far one of the nicest shop owners I have ever met in the U.S. He really cares deeply about his customers and wants everyone to be satisfied with what they are buying. He allows you to check the models before taking them home to make sure they are not defective. Compared to eBay or other websites. I find models here to be the cheapest. A model plane will be $120 on eBay but then this place has it for like $46. Forgot to mention that the price you see is the not the price you pay. Steve takes money off and if you pay with cash and save him credit card fees, he will take a few dollars off. Would highly recommend this hobby store. I come here about once a month and I always have an amazing experience!

One of the most well stocked Collectable toy stores I've been. As a bargain hunter, it was nice to…read moresee great valued loose figures, and open box products. I've seen figures here I hadn't ever seen in the wild, Galactus in box anyone? They carry many of the brands you could want; including Superhero stuff, Transformers, Star Wars, Lego, G.I. Joe, and Wrestling figures. I was happy to pay the low end of list price, and great costs for some loose figures. The owner even knocked a few bucks off, good guy. My only complaint, as a big fatty with bad knees, the store is literally filled with toys, boxes with toys, and plastic shelves with toys. A price I'm willing to pay for the selection they had.

They were about to close in 15 min but the proprietor let me stay a little after. The cherry on top though was I didn't have enough $ to complete my purchase.

I'm not blowing smoke, check them out! An amazing little comic shop with big heart and passion! They definitely won my future patronage.

Small native american shop and gallery, selling jewelry, art, home decor and gifts…read more This is one of those times where I didn't feel much attraction to the store's product, but I appreciated what I saw. I would have no qualms about shopping this store for gifts if I knew the recipient were a fan of southwestern art, or to buy something for the kids' schools. It reflects my values in other ways, i.e., it's a local business, the product seems well-made, plus they do a little more to educate the community on the culture. They present musicians, storytellers, etc., which I'd like to check out with my older daughter. The wares are made by native american artisans who learned their skill at home in the southwest. I picked up a pamphlet on the Red Feather Development Group which described their American Indian Sustainable Housing Initiative. It addresses the housing crisis on indian reservations by mobilizing tribal members to build homes using environmentally sustainable materials and techniques, in this case straw baling. I don't know if the store donates part of their sales to the group, but the owner has volunteered for them. The owner also shows her commitment to native american concerns by lecturing and serving on local native american boards.

So keep an eye out for it, as you drive. Today, was my first time at Six-Corners neighborhood in many, many years and I'm glad that I made the trip to it. This store is very well stocked with magazines and many types of magazines that you don't find at a Jewel-Osco magazine rack or check-out aisle. Being a film buff, I was glad to find "Cinema-Retro" magazine as well as several discounted hardcover books. Today, I spent $134 here on magazines & books and I had a good time doing it. I was able to browse without interruption until I found the items that I wanted to purchase. The check-out clerk was very helpful and polite, the place was very clean, very well lit and the magazine racks were very well organized. There's also a small coffee shop in the store. Great place - 5 stars!

Prices and variety of mags was good and I hope they get more into indies beyond just European mags. Can't wait to take the bus over here again and again!

I was happy to see so many people in here! If you're shopping for random stuff, this is the place for it: craft supplies, games and toys, bottles and jars (including itty bitty ones, which I bought), marbles, strange holiday overstock, neon signs, science experiments, a billion electronic parts...you name it. For sheer weirdness this store can't be beat but I legitimately do buy practical items here too. Stop in and support this long time local favorite!

A couple of friendly folks greeted us at the front and asked how we found the shop. Unlike some "antique malls," it is not overcrowded, and is reasonably easy to navigate as someone with mobility issues; did have a distinct musty smell especially at the front. There is also a large selection of beads and crystals in the mini-store called Magpie that is in one corner. Expect to pay St. Charles prices here. In the same building as Trend + Relic.
