Review Visit: March 11th, 2015…read more Do you love board games? Magic the Gathering? Puzzles? Then this place is Just For You! Just For Fun has just about every board game you can think of. With the exception of the mass produced ones (Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, etc). If you are looking for it, they probably have it. They have shelves and shelves and shelves full of games. They have a huge stash behind the registers. They have stuff on the counter. If you can't find a board game in here that interests you, then you probably are not really into board games. They also offer your usual Magic: the Gathering offerings. Cards, sleeves, decks, pre-releases, etc. Their prices are fair on those, except they charge more for the Magic pre-releases. Why? Probably because they can and people pay it. Also offered are odds and ends. Dice. Playmats. Those figures you paint and then set up battles for (sorry, I don't know the technical name for that). Board Game night on Thursday, last I knew. They have casual gaming areas where I think you can just come in with your friends, snag a table and play. Overall, a great store for the Peoria area. Staff has been wonderful pretty much every time I've been in there though. Since their initial opening, they have moved locations several times. Hopefully their current spot is home to them for a long time. Their rating would be a bit higher, but overcharging for Magic pre-releases irks me more than it should. That aside, a great gaming store that Peoria needed. I will try to snap a few photos the next time I am in there and update this post when I do.

The folks at the counter are knowledgeable and can help you find games or recommend a game if you're not quite sure what you're looking for. The prices are pretty standard; they're not offering sales that I've seen, but they're also not marking stuff way above retail either. As someone who prefers to browse shelves and look at the games in order to make my board game purchases, I haven't found a better store for that anywhere. I can easily spend 2+ hours browsing the aisles, sitting on the floor to examine a game and read reviews on BoardGameGeek, and I've never been bothered for it. They also have a selection of games you can just play, if you're looking to kill some time or test something out before considering a purchase. There's a limited selection of used games for sale at a discount; you may find something cool there or maybe not, it depends on when you go. They have an okay selection of dice, miniatures, and RPG books. I've seen gaming stores with a better selection in that category, but they don't have the board game selection that Just For Fun does. I know this store does events (Magic, other card games, board games, etc.) but I live almost an hour away so I have never come in for those. Still, I know every time I come in that I'm going to be leaving with several new games, and a smile on my face. I'm very thankful this place exists!

He doesn't have the parts I want or even know how to figure out how to get them, or even offer helpful advice about types of battery chemistry, but he's outstanding at offering a condescending attitude toward anyone new. I entered this place for the third time, today, and have left empty-handed every time. He actually has an RTF quad model that I want to buy for my boy, but it would smell like that place. I've tried to shop locally, and I've tried to withhold judgement, but I've literally been in better crack dens.

The Pekin staff are super friendly, interested in your projects and really go out of their way to get you to the end result you want.

I will never again waste my time at the Peoria store when I can make the quick jaunt over here and have my projects done with an actual smile in less than half the time!

Review Visit: January 16th, 2016…read more Let's make the Magic happen! Oh... you played a counter spell I will preface this with a warning that I am a bit bias towards The Zone. I partake in Magic pre-releases here. I have been coming here for a long time, actually. Back when I first got into Magic and his store was located in Creve Coeur, IL. Moving on. The Zone offers a wide variety of products. From comics, posters, figures/toys, trading cards (singles and sealed), Ultra Pro products, sleeves, and other odds/ends. I have played 3 Magic pre-releases there (so far) and the store owner, Scott, has been great at hosting it each time. He even helped me set up my DCI account right before the pre-release tournament was about to start. You can pretty much throw any random question at Scott and he will have some knowledge about it and can help you out. Overall, a great store to visit if you need your Magic/comics/toys fix. Plus, Maurie's Candies is right across the street! :3

The whole time they are rushing around because Wendy wanted to close early at 3:00 p m. (It was currently 2:45 p m.). Wendy comes near me and tells me to take out my collection of currency and old coins, and set them all up on the counter. When she comes back over, she takes two to three seconds and tells me my .9999 gold coins are fake and she don't want them (in a very rude way). She didn't even look closely or even weight them. My collection was being stored in a small closet cupboard, and she sees one small bug which she immediately kills, then tells me she doesn't want any of it, and says she now has to call an exterminator. She literally starts picking up all my coins and starts to throw them back into my storage safe. If she didn't have time to look at my large collection properly she should never have told me to set them on the counter. I, also, fell over picking up my stuff off the floor. One customer came over to assist me as I was completely ignored by all employees. I could have been seriously injured as I lost my balance and fell over into the customer who was assisting me. None of them cared for either myself or the customer I fell in. If your are disabled, do not enter this "unsafe" shop. They also have two "dangerous" dogs who have bitten other customers. They need to leave these dogs at home for the safety of the customers. Animal Control should fine these dog owners and take away their dangerous dogs.

First the good: The store has a little something for everyone. There were collectibles, sports…read morecards, coins, and more. The store was very well lit and seemed to be very clean. The 2 staff I encountered were very friendly nice people. Now the bad: I can only speak about bullion (silver and gold) cause that's all I cared about or looked at. First I specifically asked about a 1986 silver eagle that was marked at $60. I was informed that just because it said $60 does not mean that is the price and the worker would have to go ask the owner what the price was. WHY PUT A PRICE ON SOMETHING THEN? I understand spot price of bullion fluctuates, maybe don't put prices on things then. The owner said she would sell it at $60 like it was marked. I declined but did comment that was a good price. Then I asked how much a 2025 silver eagle was. The worker again had to go ask the owner. When he came back he said $72. The spot price of silver today is $58.40/ounce. So they are selling 2025 silver eagles for spot + $13.60!!!!. This is beyond ridiculous. I asked why it was so high and the worker said well they aren't making 2025 silver eagles anymore. DUH they also aren't making 1986 silver eagles anymore but that one was spot + 1.60. You can easily go to an online bullion retailer like Monument Metals and pay about $10 less than this place wants. I really doubt this place sells much bullion
