The Burrow — Local services in Wichita

Was just in the store with my family. We were searching for DnD related items such as unpainted mini figures, dungeon accesories, etc. We have been there in the past for other purchases and had a pleasant experience but felt their prices were high. This visit we had a different and mixed experience. When arriving at The Burrow the staff were outwardly friendly and helpful. I believe the owners were currently staffing the store. They pulled out chairs for my girls to watch Star Trek which was great. However, the male store clerk shadowed us around the store and, we felt, he believed we were attempting to steal. It wasn't until we were nearing the end of our trip there and realizing they did not have what we were seeking (unpainted mini-figs is what brought us in). We ended up only buying one thing when we likely would have spent a considerable amount more (they have some neat dice, and a fairly nice collection of Zelda related items currently in stock) without the outward hostile attention of the clerk.

*After speaking, in a fashion, with the owner I would honestly like to believe it was the general awkwardness us geeks have that didn't happen to rub right with my family at the time.This is a great niche store and one Wichita desperatly needs. While there are other hobby stores and comic stores in the area there are no true fandom stores which is how I would classify The Burrow.

The shop was absolutely awesome. It's small, but stuffed with so many things that a geek like me, my husband, and my kid could want -- Harry Potter, Doctor Who (including a huge TARDIS model), popular anime, dungeons and dragons, and classic movies represented in a great variety of items. Unfortunately, our experience was dampened by the young man that was working this afternoon. While we walked around exclaiming about all of the cool stuff to each other, he stood stoically behind the counter with a deep frown switching repeatedly between his phone and the computer. That wouldn't have bothered us much on its own, but when we went to check out he was extremely put out by the whole thing and went as far as rolling his eyes at my son (who asked the price of small item with no tag) before assisting him by looking it up on the computer. I really wanted to leave this store 5 stars, but after going out of our way to stop in it was a bit of a disappointing experience. On a day with good staff I bet it's...

A great place to get really niche collection items or paraphernalia. Not really a hobby store, no models, or painting supplies, drones, or boardgames, very small selection of dice. They do have a small selection of DND specific to-scale pre-painted miniatures. They are also loose minis, not in boxes and sell them on a flat pricing based on creature/base size. (Current pricing- $3 = small, $6 = medium, $9 = large.) Depending on market value of each mini, you could get a good deal. If not, at least you don't have to spend $15 for random minis you have duplicates of. Overall, I've had good experience here. The people working there haven't been very knowledgeable to my experience, which is a shame. Other than that I would...
