Best Figurine Shop Flint Near Me

Brandon Ellwart: Recently bought my First RC from Traxxas and needed a local shop as my go to when Bashing turns to crashing.Ryders has what you need and what you didn't know you need. It's worth the 1 5 hour round trip for me.I told them I was new and they repaired my car for me, no charge. Absolutely check this place out. The people are knowledgeable and their experience shows.

Ryan Bigelow: Riders is always willing to go the extra step. Thanks for being great!

nate taubitz: Old school rich in trains, models, paints, and miniatures galore. I go for the off-road, planes and boats RC.

Jeff Swainston: A bit smaller than I expected since I have previously been in the Grand Rapids store. Excellent selection of model railroad ingredients which is why I went there in the first place.

David VanWert: Very helpful staff. Always willing to take care of any issues we've ever had with our RC cars

Dawn Koscielniak: These guys are fabulous! They put a smile on my guys face that's priceless. Boys and their toys...😁❤️

Funny Guy: Local business with everything gor hobbyist

John Reid: Great selection , friendly help.

Tom Paul: Nice selection of models, and model trains, but way way way too expensive!

Dianna Acosta-Wiseman: Came in today with my son who’s a huge train lover. Today was his 11th birthday and all he wanted was a train! He was so excited and had a $750 budget to buy /do whatever he wanted. He woke up, go dressed and we headed to Riders! We walked in, no greeting or acknowledgement by any of the 4 employees at the front of the store. We head over to the train section and he points out the one in the case that he wants. I make eye contact with the employees who turn their heads and begin conversations about whatever. As a mom, I ignore and we stand and wait... as minute tick by- well over 25, still zero assistance or anything. I’m ready to go, but for my son, I was willing to wait. Other guests began coming in- being greeted and assisted. I still remained calm but upset. My 11yr old son started crying and said let’s just go- they clearly don’t want to help us. We left but the disappointment had me sitting in my truck crying WITH my son. I will NEVER be back to patronize this location nor brand of stores again!!! I hate to think that it was because of the color of our skin- because around Christmas-I visited and a lady employee was very helpful. We were told goodbye on our way out the door though- go figure. But whatever the case - Do BETTER!!!

They have everything for you for building layouts and repairing your trains in several gauges! RC cars or planes? They have that too! Whittling? Got you covered? Miniatures? They have that too! They even have a selection of board games!

Ezekiel Bowden: Wow, Riders was awesome. I am from out of town and I just had to stop in. They had a bunch of everything anyone could be into! Rc planes, boats, cars, rockets, scale models of all types, Model Trains and accessories of all scales, even board and strategy games. Just wow!! We went in on a Tuesday evening and it was full of life! Every one was super helpful and friendly, it seemed like the place to hangout! What a awesome hobby shop, I wish I was local because this would be home base for sure!!

Jager Andres: Always super helpful whenever i need anything!

Nate T: They have some really neat stuff if you're into RC airplanes cars stuff like that train sets they even have a game section for board games like dungeons and dragons and Warcraft and other thingsI will have to say they are really expensive for a lot of their stuffThe staff was friendly they did ask if I needed help and suggested somewhere that I could possibly find the item I was looking for because he didn't think they carried what I was needing

Brea Glenn (mssweet7): This is one of my favorite comic shops in town. They offer discounts when you purchase multiple books, and they'll hold new issues of books for you so you don't have to try to rush in around school and work schedules. They carry a lot of Indy and obscure comics, and they even have some mature content behind the counter for 18+.

Me Two: Great small local businesses very friendly

Matt Shaker: I have fond memories of this place from when I was a kid, so I went in and had a look around for old time's sake. I've been thinking of collecting comics again for years. But... look, I'm not going to be rude here, but I was disappointed with the customer service and the state of the store. I walked in with close to $500, and purchased nothing. I can't believe this is the same place I once met Mart Nodel, creator of Green Lantern.

Justin Latreille: Great people

Zach Cooper: Awesome local comic shop. Check it out!

Zugly Monster: So many Funko Pops

Cyberpunk Eddiegordozen: A very good selection of comic books all sorts of other collectibles as well would highly recommend

Duwayne Troyer: Get all you comic and games

Kellsy Pirozek: This place is awful. Was never greeted, or asked if we were alright, or needed anything.To the kid behind the counter; you don't have to click your nails on the counter while a customer is standing looking at items in the front of the store as if you're in some kind of hurry. You also don't have to roll your eyes at customers when they are talking to you about coming back for a comic YOU should have pulled, or flip their newly purchased comic in their face, because AGAIN, you're in some kind of hurry to get us out. Pretty rude.It's also VERY unorganized. Good luck finding anything specific you'd be looking for.

Gecko E: Place was amazing very nice worker tons of amazing comics

Thomas Natzke: Great place for comics and collectable they have a very large selection to choose from.

Kelly Brown: I am going to leave an honest review. In response, and based upon other honest reviews, the owner will probably be rude and tell me “good story”. But here goes: Parking is horrible. I had to park across the street and walk over. The store looks run down and shady. When you walk inside, it is not much better. Those who said it looks like someone’s basement are being generous. It is very disorganized, extremely dirty, dusty and has an unpleasant odor. No one was working at the register and no one ever greeted or acknowledged us the whole time we were in the store. There was some kind of card tournament going on in the back of the store. People had fast food out everywhere and were talking very loudly, including creative strings of curse words. Some merchandise in the store was covered in dust so thick I could not read the price tag. There was a dry erase calendar in the corner of the store that still had dates and events from July 2015. Everything appeared to be overpriced and I felt like I needed gloves to look through things. We left without purchasing anything and will not return based upon this experience. We went across town to the store on Richfield Rd. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. It was clean and well organized, no dust, no bad odors. They will have my business.

rick bastuba: Go see Lou ..

Dannielle Shafer: This was a great old school comic shop. My son Found some back issues he had been looking for and their new release wal was full of all kinds of independent releases! Really enjoyed the visit!

Jenn Hoornstra: I always find back issues I need. Well organized and helpful when I have questions.

Matt Anderson: Love this place, tons of great comics.

Bradley Winebarger: Fair price on everything I checked. Large selection of comics and magic cards. Also has a fair selection of board games, collectibles, and some other items.

J Nicholson: A true gem. Love this store! Staff is always friendly and willing to take the time to talk comics and super hero’s with my son. Everyone should take the time to stop in slow down and buy something tactile in this digital world. A comic book is a time machine that takes you to new worlds and even back to your childhood.

Elizabeth Layton: Cool shop! Will visit again when we are in town!

Matt Huizinga: Friendly staff, very helpful.

Sayler Massey: Cheap prices, friendly staff, great store!! :)

jessica byrd: Knowledgeable customer service reasonable prices

Troy Koontz: My go to local place to buy supplies for all my card collecting needs. I absolutely hate going to Wal-fart or target to get supplies because half the time Walmart on Corunna Rd is just a laughable place to say the least for anything related to sports cards, pokes,magic, Yu-Gi-Oh etc etc. Mostly because 95% of there cards are ripped open and searched/stolen and the supplies go right along with that. I picked up a packet of 500 penny sleeves for myself and looked inside seem there was only 400 missing lol. Those are the reasons I love using great escape gaming they have never been out of anything I have needed and their prices are the same or better than wal-dart or tar-bet. Actually im about to make a quick stop in there to grab a few sleeves and maybe some top loaders so I have enough to last me the next few days. Highly recommended place that's also knowledgeable in the TCG games. Also have huge selection of board games from A-Z . If you need a rare board game and can't find it anywhere they almost certainly will have it or if they don't im sure there knowledgeable staff will be happy to order it for you. 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Josh Stead: Nice store, friendly staff!

Kelly Curtright: Clean, brightly lit game shop in the heart of Flint. What a jewel of a game shop! The Flint area is fortunate to have such a quality game site! The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly! The shelves are well- stocked. There is a nicely stocked library for patrons to play in shop. There are refreshments available. The restroom was very clean. There is a nice area for tournaments and free play. If you special order a game(s) through the store, you'll recieve a 15% discount. Just stopped back in the store today. They now have Magic the Gathering starter boxes (300) for $14.99 each!

Florena Brodman: What a fantastic store! I just discovered this place on Court Street in Flint Michigan, and I'm really impressed! Miniatures, paint supplies, card games, deck building, board games, D&D, dice games, collectibles, etc! The shop has it all, and if they don't, they will find it for you! They have a large gaming room and a great selection of games to play! They have snacks and drinks for sale, and a posted schedule of gaming opportunities and tournaments! The staff are helpful, AND the bathrooms are CLEAN! Great store!

Jason Lesiewicz: Great little shop.Tons of selection.

Kevin Emmons: Best board/card game shop around. Very friendly, welcoming and open atmosphere. Always happy to order products not in stock.

Blerdwords: Awesome staff, good product selection, and a decent amount of gaming space...

Free Man: Friendly staff that remembers you're name. I came in for the first time looking for a MTG new release and the person behind the counter had plenty of knowledge about the product he was selling.

Jessica Farewell: It's an ok store and experience everyone is nice but the young kid that works there. I used to love it here but its getting more and more frustrating. Opening at 3 is extremely inconvenient. When they open at 3, they are open only 7 hrs a day.

Dakota Harness: I came here for the first time a little while back not knowing anyone or what to expect. I was welcomed with open arms as everyone was very friendly and kind to me and my wife.Another plus is that the bathroom is very clean! I try to make it up here as much as I can, and I'd say it's worth the hour drive for me.Love it here, give it a shot !

Jeremy MacDonald: Found it randomly.

Dan Stratton: Love this place. Friendly faces and great selection

Tim Miller: Great place, friendly staff. Also host card tournaments

Landon Pastori: I’ve been shopping at Great Escape since they opened. I’ve had a pretty great relationship with a few of the staff, I own GEG merch, i’ve spent thousands at this store and i was always proud to call it my LGS.Not anymore.I called 2 times about double masters and they refused to give me straight answers. I went up there thinking “eh, they will see me, recognize me, and ultimately give me more information if they can.” Nope. same answer-We do not know what we will be pricing at.-We will not take pre orders (only LGS inside 60 miles that didn’t.-We can’t give any information we open at 12:00 that day if you want one be here.I showed up at 8:30am because i wanted to support MY local shop, and i decided ultimately i wanted GEG to be where i bought from per usual. period. i didn’t want to preorder elsewhere and have to go to some other shop i like mine 🤷🏼I sat there til 11:55 when 2 other cars showed up and walked around to the front door (i assumed to wait there) even though i was waiting first and was at the side door waiting for open first. The staff must have let them in early as when i walked in at 12:00 exactly… one guy had already opened a pack and i was third to buy… okay a little rude but whatever. I walk up and the cashier says “Ah man i didn’t know you were a magic guy i thought it was just D&D and Board games for you.” I laughed and told him i’d been in on Magic for about a year now.I continue to buy a pack to my astonishment at $339 rounded the change up. I said whoa… what happened to the prices here… as i said that my card blinked approved and the cashier was on the phone talking to someone already. he turned and walked away while i continued to use the touchpad to send myself a receipt. Every other LGS was at $297 tax out the door. I was a little beaten down by my long morning and the scam i feel like i just went through so i called 2 buddies who had bought 2 packs each and talked about it. They were pretty salty at the over 11% markup and clearly sheisty play they have made here. They purposely ran no pre orders and no price amount to trap people. Luckily my friend wanted to sell me his at cost so i returned mine. i was met with a shaking head and a weird attitude with the same cashier that met me with kindness before. I told him i felt like my LGS took advantage of me and he did not care at all all he had to say was “ YOU HVE THE PROMO SOL RING TOO, RIGHT?” wow that’s what this shop is concerned with rather than retaining customers that have brought tons of business not only in themselves but also in friends and family. $17 hyper inflated sol ring is the most important thing.This shop just did me dirty and it feels really bad but you can find me at CTR from now on.

Xpeep Wrld: Good customer service and great selection of magic cards, dungeon and dragon minis, cool puzzles, cool dice (sets and individual), and cool placemats, deck boxes, card binders, and so much more.

Jessica Fowler: Friendly fun environment ☺️

Abriley: Filed a return for a defective game disc that was purchased online and chose this store location to drop off that return. Showed the gentleman working the email with order # and other return info. He said that they could not accept the return without a printed packing slip. Get back home (hour drive, to and from) to check further in to the packing slip and part 1 of the instructions state "If you don't have access to a printer, bring this email to the store with you." Which is exactly what we did and were turned away.

Michael Woodworth: I got stuff cheaper here than 2 doors down...........

Jeremy MacDonald: If you can't get it digital

Aaron Mckenzie: Nice and polite a little slow ☺️

penny money: Then go on to gamestop for years for my grandson love this place the people are very nice and very polite

Jeff Abbott: Cashier needs to be trained better, had a hard time returning headphones and controller, had warranty had receipt, Saginaw gamestop has good service will shop there from now on

Troy Koontz: Well better it while I can take advantage of the opportunity.

ItzUrParents: Manager is a crybaby, telling me I was yelling at him when I was just talking at a normal volume. Accused me of stealing when an employee gave me the wrong game in a case for a game I bought. I spend a lot of money on gaming and anime related products now I'm going to have to shop online because GameStop can't hire good help.

Darrell Jeffreys: Plenty of good stuff!

Christopher Zolinski: Getting a little high with their asking prices

Vexus: Customer service was good

Jeremy Sparling: Awesome place for any gamer or collector..great people great service..stop in today I highly recommend it!!

kiyona: Was looking for some pre-owned games. I havent been into a GameStop in a while so i didnt know what to expect. The only games they carry is for the newest consoles ps5, the switch, and Xbox x. They also have a bunch of plushies, figurines, some dnd stuff, and other things like wallets. They have deals that go on which might be good if you have a membership.

pain gaming 232 v2: The game said it was 39 before and it was on sale at 29 on the tag. But still paid 39. Mabye add the real price to the game tag before i spend 10 extra dollars.

Amelia Mason: They are always nice

Chanteh: 18 years later and they are still as reliable as ever.

Robert Ackerman: Always a good time.

Delores conn: My grandson loves this place. He collects figurines
