The vast majority of the stuff is vintage, 30-40 years old, not from Ollie's. Great selection of star wars, wrestling, TMNT, GI Joe, 80's, 90's and more. Found stuff for my collection, and my daughters vintage play collection

The Toy Cantina is a small/small mid-size collectable/toy/retro/arcade shop located in…read moreFeasterville-Trevose. The shop is located among a small strip of several, and the only major weakness of Toy Cantina is the limited parking situation. Big thing that stood out immediately was the owner is engaging and talkative. He greeted me upon entering, which is something some shops don't do. Everything is organized and priced, which makes this shop stand out even more, and it's clean. Toy Cantina is split up into three rooms. First room has the majority of the toys and collectables, with a good selection of new and used items. Shop is stacked from floor to ceiling. Higher value items are located behind glass but there's plenty of help if you wish to investigate them. Second room has Pop Vinyl's and other collectables, but doesn't overwhelm you with too many Pop's. Several playsets/bases were available, which are sometimes rarer due to size. They also have loose figures for sale. The back room is a free play retro arcade with some older pinball machines and various small stand-up arcade cabinets. A donation box is available but one is not required to play. I made sure throw in a few bucks as what they are doing is really cool. Toy Cantina is doing a lot right, with its organization and pricing being standout. There are no mysteries here. Toy Cantina has a lot to offer and is in contention for best collectable/toy shop in the Philadelphia metro area.

If you are nostalgic for a local comic book shop, where the owner chats your ear off about…read morecharacters and community seems to gather here to just hang out.....this is your spot. I personally am not a comic book person but my son and husband are, they have been coming here more often lately eventhough we live about 30 minutes away. The time I came in the people behind the counter were laughing and chatting about a new book release in a way that made me want to pick up the book just to join in on the conversation. My son was looking for a certain Catwad comic and they were kind enough to say they would order it for him, eventhough the store is tiny and we literally only get maybe one book a month from here. Definitely come check them out, and then enjoy all the other cute shops on the block.

I've popped into this LCS a couple of times when I'm in the area, and each time I'm massively let…read moredown. But first off, the good... The location is on a cozy little side street in a cool-looking town, not too far from Princeton. There's side-street parking, but it's easier to park in the tiny lot next to the shop. Inside, there is a regularly updated new issue section. As well as a decent selection of trade paperbacks. And the employees who work there are always super nice, friendly, and tremendously welcoming. However, the same cannot be said about the shop itself... Not only is the inside incredibly dusty with dirt in the bins and on the floors, but the boxes of back issue comics (which mostly sit on said floors) are completely unorganized and in the worst possible condition. Some books are bagged and boarded, some are loose and falling apart. Comics are so tightly packed in some bins that you can't even properly go through them without damaging the spines of multiple books. Now, regarding the selection in those back issue bins, most of it is $1-dollar to $2-dollar bin-worthy. Sure, you might find a couple of keys every now and again, but they are not worth the high sticker price given their condition. I remember the first time I was in the shop, when most of the back issues hadn't been priced out yet, and I was told that unmarked books were cover price, or $1 if the original cover price was below a buck. Now that pricing structure makes a lot more sense, I guess, given the general condition of most of the books. But as of my latest trip, most of those same back issues are now sticker-priced at incredibly high levels and do not reflect the general condition of the books (F-VG quality at NM prices). Plus, trying to access the bins is a challenge in itself since the shop is relatively small and there is often debris in the way or stacks of clutter on top that you have to move first, including a trash can that sits directly in front of a few rows of bins by the side entrance. So, until I hear they've lowered prices, carry better books, and just all-around better present the store itself, I won't pop in here again. You all have superhero charm, but you really need to clean up that shop to keep it from entering into supervillain territory!

Shop has plenty of parking. Nuke 'Em is the sister shop to Phantasm Comics located in New Hope, PA. Interior is crowded, but in a good way. They have a large selection of dollar long boxes which I found to have many nice books, but also have CGC graded books. They do not have new pull comics here. Toys and collectables are stacked floor to ceiling with an excellent and interesting selection. Manga selection, which is located towards the back was good, along with the graphic novel selection. They have a selection of Blu-ray's and Science Fiction books. Staff member was excellent, helpful, and great to chat with. This shop reminds me of an old school comic shop and is very much worth the drive to shop at.

This place is definitely off the beaten path (about an hour or so from Northeast Philly), situated in the middle of nowhere with sprawling fields and Jersey farmlands with just a few other businesses around. However, it's easy to get to and there's plenty of accessible parking in their large lot. The store has some new releases and a small selection of individually priced back issues, but their main attraction is the massive collection of dollar bin treasures. And while the bins are a bit of a mess with no real categorization, digging through them is part of the fun. You never know when you'll stumble upon that key issue or hidden gem nestled in the stacks. Sometimes, they even run sales where you can snag comics for as little as fifty cents (pay attention to their holiday sales). That said, the condition of the comics varies, so be sure to closely inspect what you find to avoid any unpleasant surprises later on. I spent about four hours there during my first visit and still didn't get through the entire dollar bin section... it's HUGE! (I was able to complete one side of the bins, though.) But Nuke 'Em also has toys, merchandise, trade paperbacks, DVDs, and apparel, if comics just ain't your thing. **Bonus Tip: They have a clean bathroom, which is always appreciated when you're there for hours or need to wash your hands after flipping through thousands of comics.

Comic Relief is located in a small shopping center with an even smaller parking lot. Or it seems…read morethat way with the amount of traffic constantly entering and leaving. The store itself is relatively small, but then again, most comic stores ARE small. But do not be deceived, good reader. The number of books housed at Comic Relief is quite a lot! The owner is always courteous. But he doesn't say very much if anything at all. Which can be a good thing if you're an introvert, I suppose. :) Overall, this place is excellent for finding the latest releases and even hard-to-find variant covers. However, it's not the best for back issues or quality of issues, for that matter. If it hasn't come out within that same week, expect to find bent corners, spine ticks, and spine wear galore on most of the books. It's not that people are beating the books to hell. It's actually the racks on which they sit, which tend to be simple wire shelves with gaps in them, that the books fall victim to. The wood shelf system on the back wall is much more efficient. However, the way the books tend to be packed on those shelves can also give way to an epic collapse knocking several books to the floor in a matter of seconds. Yikes! And yes, I did see that happen on a number of occasions.
