They have plenty of cards, deck boxes, dice, and sleeves for purchase. I have also sought out some special order items and the owner was super helpful in getting what I wanted in.

If you are looking for card game stuff or great geek merchandise I can't think of a better place that combines both into one shop. Lastly all the employees are very friendly and helpful. If you can't find something ask them they can show you if they have it or maybe can get it.

I'm very, very happy with their service. The communication has been so good that I am actually on first name basis with the person in charge of shipping/billing (Hawaii is always different). My only concern (and why I didn't give the absolute highest rating) is that for some products, there are no photos or descriptions. I was surprised to see that another customer who had the exact opposite experience as I had, and I have no explanation for why this might be. Maybe they made a change in staffing? I don't know but I'm very happy. 12/27/12 update: Placed and received my 3rd order and it's still great.

Advantage Hobby advertises "Free Shipping on $59 order". With $349.86 in my cart, I check out, and the shipping charges were $9.99........(what happened to my free shipping?) I find an exclusion clause that says "Orders over 5 lbs subject to shipping charges".......so I delete items until the shipping charges go away, but still qualify for free shipping by exceeding the $59.00 minimum. I place (4) orders, each consisting of (5) rolls of Ultracote. (Total $349.86) This morning, I receive an email from Advantage Hobby: "We will notify you when your order is ready to ship. And at that time what the Shipping & Handling charges will be. Have a good day." My reply: "These orders qualify for free shipping......otherwise, please cancel all 4 orders. Thank you." From Advantage Hobby: "Your orders will be cancelled and your form of payment refunded as soon as possible. Have a great day! Sandy" My Reply: "Sandy, so, you would rather lose a $300+ sale, than honor your advertised service? Wow." Advantage Hobby: "You speak of honor, you know as well as I do that you placed 4 consecutive orders to avoid Shipping & Handling charges. Sandy" My Reply: "Yes, and there is NOTHING wrong with doing so. I will let the RC community know about this transaction. If you want to honor these orders, group them into one shipment so YOU save on shipping 4 separate orders, I am ok with that. Otherwise, this will not reflect well on your end." 11 minutes later, all (4) of my orders were canceled, payment refunded, and no further messages from Advantage Hobby. What a complete waste of my time. I will take my business elsewhere, where the advertised are honored.

One tree is really trying hard to make it. I called about the dead trees. They said wait 5 weeks. They gave me a voucher for one but I get to pay shipping again. I purchased seeds. So far they germinate and come up to about a inch then die off. That is sad, I literally found some skullcap seeds dated 2009 from another company. I planted those and they are taking off like mad. Buying from these guys is like going to the dollar store, paying full price and getting seeds from taco bell... Already chewed ate and crapped out.

I volunteer and teach watercolor classes at libraries and assisted living facilities, and I provide all of the materials gratis so I was thrilled to see that I could get watercolor paper for 40% off. I picked up 30 small pads of watercolor paper. When I got upfront, I was told "oh these don't get the 40% discount because they're the ' your price' items and the manager told me that the yellow tags meant that they were the ' your price ' items. I'd like to know how a consumer is supposed to know that when the signs are all printed in 30 point type that all masters touch is on sale and posted right in front of where I selected the paper. In fact, the signs were taped to the displayer and all I saw was that masters touch brand - nothing identifying them as excluded from the 40% off sale. I think they intentionally mislead and I walked out and left their watercolor paper and I will never darken their door again. They can take all of their fake chest-beating Jesus and shove it where the sun doesn't shine because they are not honest and that in my opinion is hardly Christian. I'll buy bulk paper and cut it myself and I will make a point of telling all of my students to avoid Hobby lobby when they are searching for products. Hope this helps.

If I had a shopping addiction this store would be my demise. I was on the hunt for something very specific and Hobby Lobby was my last stop before resorting to purchasing something online. Feeling defeated as I began to leave the store, there it was! Exactly what I had been searching for was in one of the last six aisles of the store (or first 6 aisles depending on how you shop the store :). Yay! Giddy with excitement, the item was also on sale for 50% off, so I didn't need that 40% off coupon after all. Store is clean and staffed well. I visited on a Saturday afternoon and the place was busy, but manageable. Nice parking lot. Will surely be back.
