It's a store with character that, in all honesty, if it wasn't doing things right, wouldn't have celebrated its 25th anniversary last year. I'm not getting any kickbacks for saying that.
Personally I think Chimera is the quintessential FLGS. They know they have to compete and they do. There might be a few $$ to be saved on a one off/single purchase online but Chimera implements programs to balance that out if you stick with them. They often run specials, have a loyalty program, etc, so over time it's a wash financially. In fact I refuse to go to some of those other stores simply because they tack on a standard $3-$4 over list price, across the board (no pun intended), just because they can.Ĭhimera doesn't do that. Sometimes product is standard list prices, every brick and mortar store does that, but never higher - at least not from what I have seen - and I have shopped around. But, with all that said and done, Chimeras prices are very good. I would rather pay a few extra $$$ to keep a local shop afloat than save a few buying it online. I understand that often Amazon sells stuff cheaper than any brick and mortar.

A FLGS by its very nature will minimize floor space expenses in order to offer better deals to its community. Get reviews, hours, directions, coupons and more for Chimera Hobby Shop Inc. If they don't have something they will get it for you.ĭo the shelves seem a bit cluttered? Not to me but I could see some people thinking that.but whatever floats your boat. Better yet.their staff are gamers.ALL of them. They've always been attentive when I've sought attention and have always helped me when I have needed help. I've never received anything but a friendly reception at Chimera. I prefer a shop that is purely about gaming for the love of gaming. Me? I prefer a shop with some history and character. If you're into that sort of thing then fine. As you enter the store automatons approach you in their "team" shirts, silently gliding across their super polished floors (kind of scary if you don't see them coming first), with their canned greetings and fixed smiles. More than a few of them are pushy, highly sales oriented, environments extremely sterile. I won't name the other stores, I'm not looking to directly slam them, but in many of those stores I have received unwelcome and even hostile attitudes (quite hostile in one instance). I work in Milwaukee and live in the Fox Valley.so I have a LOT of opportunity to visit game stores other than Chimera, and I have done so in the past. Since reawakening the board game addiction/monster inside me three years ago I have shopped around at multiple game stores. Since reawakening the board game addiction/monster.
