The staff is friendly and there is a good amount of People working at all times. The store speaks for itself with the size and flow it's perfect. The section is hands down the best and the prices is a win as well. Be sure to take advantage of their rewards as it saves me $5 last purchase. The only thing they are missiing is onsite grading, but they do send off To PSA for customers and I've used this 3 times now with no hiccups and great grades. Well done Collector Store.

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.

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 Fantasy Shop St. Charles has upgraded to this newer location. It's more conveniently located…read moreto the highway, is in a much nicer shopping plaza, has far better dining options close by, and just looks a lot better than their old location. 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.

I've come to play D&D on Wednesday nights for the last couple weeks with the league and the people in those groups have welcomed this out-of-practice n00b and made me feel right at home.

As soon as you walk in there, there's a ton of displays before you get into the main building, which is also lovely The store is well organized. I only wish that they had such as other large department source so you could see where things are. I like that they are closed on Sunday to allow time for family and worship. I think that's very kind to do that for their employees. The store is always very clean and there's always a ton of employees as soon as you walk in that always help guide you into the right direction

Hobby Lobby is the biggest craft and home store that I'm aware of in the area. I'm not a super…read morecrafter or decorator but I like to pop in and see what they have from time to time. This location is always clean, items are where they should be and I can typically find an employee for assistance when I need it. They change out their seasonal sections quickly and have a lot of unique selections for decorating and baking which I am interested in. My last few visits I was able to pick up some cool seasonal baking items. I was also shopping for a plain photo album that you load pictures directly into but selection was limited. It's mainly scrapbooks here. They run sales frequently and it's typically 1/2 off... so if I come in and an item I want it not on sale, I'll come back the next week or two and it will usually be on sale. I never pay full price here if I can avoid it.

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.

They do have a great selection of yarns and needles, but the communication between the staff of Yarncom and the customer is very poor. I talked to the owner about getting a store credit and she wouldn't budge, even though I had spent over $100.00 there. I appreciate the small business, but they need to re-evaluate their policies and work on their communication between the staff and the customer.
