I'm not a model train guy, but am equally astounded by their selection and all of the supplies and accessories they stock for that hobby. Their selection of new kits is very deep and very well organized. The vintage kit selection is varied and reasonably priced. And bargains can be found in the back room if you know what you're doing. Staff is uniformly friendly; I am always greeted when I arrive. If I have a question or need help, it's always fast and efficient. if I just want to wander around and window shop, they don't seem to have a problem with that. This place is a real gem. A throwback to a time when shops like this dotted the twin cities. I haven't seen a shop like this since I used to shop at the old Moeller hobby shop in Robbinsdale. On the rare occasion I need something they don't stock, I will buy online. For everything else, there's no other shop anywhere who gets my business. This place is an absolute treasure.

I find it an interesting place to wander around and wonder what some items are. There are barrels of stuff, shelves of things and all sorts of blinking lights, electronic parts, miscellaneous military surplus and mysterious things that I simply cannot identify. Quirky labels (some definitely tongue in cheek), and no shortage of humor. Offers for customers to weigh in on their own take of what somethings might be. Staff has always been helpful. Aisles overflowing with an ever changing selection. Plenty of free parking. Rock bottom prices and you might occasionally find just what you need. The Ax-Man exemplifies the classic aphorism that one person's trash is another's treasure.

They also have some collectibles and plushies. Toward the back they have a small selection of board games. They have space in the back with tables and chairs for meet-ups and gaming nights. Also to support this they have snacks and beverages for sale at a reasonable price. I was greeted by the employee when I entered, and he kindly asked if I was looking for anything and to let him know if I needed any help. I appreciated his acknowledgement, yet hands-off-ness since I was just there to do a little light browsing to get a feel for what was there. (I did almost buy my husband a mug for the upcoming holidays, as it was Critical Role themed and he's a fan of that series.) You could definitely find gifts for friends here. Dreamers also offers all military/vets/first responders a 10% discount daily, if you happen to fall into any of those categories.

First off this is a great looking card shop with a lot of potential. The owners seem to be good at…read morewhat they do and knowledgeable and the is in a good area. The reason I only give them 2 stars is base upon the way they do business. There is no true focus on the hobby itself. Which IS card collecting. the presentation of their store is good but daunting if you are on the hunt. The display cases need to be updated with correct pricing and need to be comp'ed almost daily as the market fluctuates so much. Now the real problem with this store is the value boxes if you can even call them that. These boxes are everywhere, some organization but not enough, about 60% is junk. Either is out of date players and lots of the same cards or the cards are damaged from being crammed in the boxes a forgotten about. These cards are in various stages or pricing but a never update, they are priced once and never touch again. With the amount of cards in these sections I understand you can't keep up on pricing but if you want to move this inventory and clean this up you have to be willing to negotiate. I been here several times pulled out a stack of cards that I want from the large mess they have sat down did my comps and decided what I willing to pay. Every time I go to the counter I know I about to get taken for a ride. They count up the price as they are marked and as the total gets far past what you've decided to pay you hope the negotiation will start. Then they hit you with the price way over your total, there final offer is taking a max of 20% off, some cards being marked double what they're worth. You explain that you have done your comps and this is what you willing to pay. But in the end you either walk with the cards or take the hit and pay bloated prices. But there inventory never moves from the value boxes just a bunch of junk with some valuable cards mixed end that you'll probably never see and if you do you won't get a value at all. Then a new release comes out they price some cards once shove them in there and there and the cycle continues. I've been here several times I drive a ways to get there it is not my LCS, and every time when I leave I say I'm never going back, this time I was at a show close by but it will be my last.
