Battle City Gym Cards and Collectibles - Wilmington, Illinois

Tim Blair

This is a brand new store to the area. It has been much needed and it is a welcome sight to see. They primarily focus on trading card games and the like. They do have some board games and are working on getting more. Overall this store has a friendly vibe and the owner is great to talk to. They have plenty of tables and seating for up to 70 at least. The entire basement is available for play and they have a few tables on the first floor in the store. Overall I've really liked visiting this store and I look forward to seeing it grow. I would Especially like to see more Star wars Unlimited. 😁❤️. If you have any questions or are interested in anything they are willing to help you out. If you're in town and love games you should check out this shop!!!

Every time my family and I have been in Battle City Gym, we have had a great experience! They have been welcoming to everyone and patient with my kids. They do an excellent job explaining all the different gaming options, opportunities, and schedules.They have never been pushy, at all! They have been prompt with responding to messages regarding product availability and helping me provide great gifts for my family.

One of the best experiences I had was the night of the Christmas parade. I was in the shop with my kids (their first time in there). They each found Pokemon cards they were really interested in buying. The employee at the counter priced them for us, however I encouraged the kids to wait because their birthdays and Christmas were right around the corner. That evening, while the rest of my family was getting a bite to eat, I ran back into the shop. I was waiting in line, and saw that the employee who was helping us earlier was busy with someone else. I was a bit anxious to get to the cashier, not confident in myself to know the exact cards the kids wanted. Then I noticed the employee that helped us earlier was pulling cards out of the case and handing them to the cashier, sort of gesturing towards me, all before it was my turn at the register, while still being able to converse with his customer. It was awesome! The employee recognized me, knew exactly why I was back, proactively got the cards the kids were looking at, and handed them to cashier! By the time I checked out, he was finished with his other customer and said, he figured I had come back for the cards. I know it was only the same day, but so many people were in and out of the shop all evening. It felt like great customer service that he remembered me and the cards I needed! The efficiency was outstanding! I recommend this store to everyone! Plus, it is super clean!

Thank you to those working here who have created a really fun environment for my kids to come and find the gaming goodies they currently love. Your patience and kindness does not go unnoticed in our household!!

This store is great! I take my young son there to play Pokemon once a week or so. He likes to pick up pokemon stuffed animals while we are there. The staff is kind and helpful, and they are trying really hard to build their gaming community with various events. Very much recommended to anyone who wants a nice, friendly "locals" tcg experience or fans of board games and tabletop games.

This place is overall AMAZING!!! Great place to trade, battle, and just have a good time! The staff is kind and helps you with whatever you need. Plus, they have certain days where you can come in with that card game deck and battle other people! I mostly just play Pokémon, but they also have MTG, Lorcana, One Piece, and way more! My favorite place in this great town!

Shop is really really clean and nice! So needed because the rest of downtown Wilmington is old freaking antique stores. I can’t wait to see how this plays grows, I would give it a 4.7/5. Only reason I don’t is cause of dnd and the sort, I don’t like them. I can’t wait till they get more board games though!

No.
One should ever make the drive out to this place. I just walked in and a minute later walked out. They have nothing in the store except a little cashier. 's desk and a table to play Pokémon. Nothing advertised. What it is an expensive for what it is in the little town. That's out of the way.
