Have been going here since the 90's. Always friendly people and a home-y vibe. Fair prices, a decent selection for trading cards and D&D supplies too.

Extremely disappointing. If you are looking for trains, do NOT come here. You will be looked at in a funny way. I have been a customer at this store for almost 10 years. I stopped in for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and when I stopped in there were no trains, to my surprise. I wanted to purchase something on the layout but they said no and I was confused considering nothing was being used. Nobody offered to help me look at the trains, and as a customer who has spent $1,000 dollars on train items in the past here, this was disappointing. The worker said that the train hobby is a dying hobby, which showed his lack of enthusiasm to sell me anything regarding trains. They refused to sell me any train on the layout even though I highly doubt they are being used at all. The train selection is extremely poor unlike when I first started coming here. There is only 1/4 of an aisle for trains. When I found something, I was looked at in a funny way when I asked if there was a possible 10% discount they could give. The worker refused and I was shocked considering I highly doubt any train sale has been made in the past here. What bothered me the most is when I asked if I could use reward points. They only said “every 90 days”, which I understand but I have been a customer for years here and not to be offered any discount after buying tons of items here in the past and on an item that will sit at this store for 6 more months is disappointing. The workers did not seem to care how disappointed I was, and honestly I was upset about the whole experience. I will not be coming back, unless this store answers back here and makes me feel valued as a customer who has once enjoyed this store.

I have bought and sold baseball cards (only collectable), and many other things there for over 30 years. They're fair, helpful, and have always found the people there nice & pleasant! The owner, Paul, is everything that I have just said, which is probably the reason his staff is that good! Dominic (" The Model Train Guy") is very knowledgeable, and a really nice guy too!
