The H. E. Collectibles — Local services in McHenry

I go here every other week with my kids. It's a great environment. You walk in and feel like you're in someone's personal board game room. Everything is organized. The board games are shelved alphabetically. The magic cards are ordered so you look and the newest sets are further to the right behind the counter.

Instead of beating scalpers by raising prices, they beat scalpers by just...not selling to them. Wish other stores did the same thing instead of being greedy.

The prices here are always fair and reasonable. Unlike other board game stores, they don't raise the price on board games. You're not paying a premium for not shopping on Amazon. I love this place, and look forward to coming here.

What exactly do they have? Everything geek. Board games (a lot of rare and hard to find ones too). Trading cards. Trading card accessories (think cases and organizers and some binders). RPG books. Dice (they have a giant box that my kid loves to dig through). Figurines galore (again, some really hard to find ones like Tiamat and a giant Tarasque).

Do yourself a favor and shop here. Support a local business. One that actually respects its customers and treats them fairly. I cannot recommend this...

The workers there were very nice and were very helpful in finding what I needed but you probably see this has 2 stars, well this is due to the fact that a good part of the packs I had purchased were reseals which at the moment before buying I did check and there were no obvious signs of it until I opened it when I had returned home, the cards in the packs were miss ordered with some rares being all the way at the front along with other cards that shouldn’t be there, there were inaccurate amounts of cards in some of the packs with 4 of them having only 6-8 cards in them, but to be fairy honest, I’m certain they bought these card packs from a dishonest seller but as I cannot confirm this, the review will stay as is. Though besides this, the single cards I have purchased have proven to be fully real, have been thoroughly checked, and haven’t yet...

Quite simply- these guys run an honest business. The singles selection for MTG is awesome, they don’t price gouge for sealed product like online sellers, and they have an amazing selection of tabletop products. They treat customers of all ages with the same agency- I witnessed a very patient interaction with a child who was attempting to trade in Pokemon cards for other singles- a lot of back and forth, mind changing and questions- the owner maintained a patient, positive and encouraging attitude. Definitely knows how to make everyone feel...
