TheToysJustWannaHaveFun at Red Genesis…read more Red is a rad dude. I visited hid sweet little shop in Gastonia, NC this past holiday season, where I met the proprietor, Red. In business for ten months (if I remember details correctly), Red has a great thing going on, and I hope to visit and make some purchases again. The shop is cozy and not overflowing with a disorganized mess of toys, despite the fact he could probably squeeze more product in there. There are several display cases with some of my favorite toy lines, such as Exo-Squad, Masters of the Universe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and so much more, with tons of great toys and action figures from the 1980s through today, and likely with some older vintage toys as well. He's got eclectic lines such as Germs (1988). There are packaged figures and loose figures bagged up, GI Joe, Star Wars, Marvel Legends, DC Superheroes, and so much more, to varying degrees of completeness. From what I could tell, prices are reasonable and competitive. Red has got video games and systems too. VHS! There are some good dollar comic books, which I partook in while also finding a fun LEGO insert catalog I missed out on during my "dark ages." There's a little free box where I got my Wizard of Oz-loving friend a great little Tin Man. I wanted to dig out one or two more things, but didn't want to be greedy, but there is some great stuff in there! I also witnessed Red being super awesome with a father and his young kid, finding some Captain America items to make that kid's day! That's some great service from someone who not only loves having this store, but also loves the sense of joy and wonder he can create within the community of collectors and players young and old. Heck, I called on a Tuesday (one of his closed days) and he answered to let me know his hours for the week--customer service can't exceed that quality! If you make it to the Charlotte, NC area, be sure to stop by Red Genesis, and consider dropping some green.

And a huge selection of calendars and childrens books. If you're looking for a gift, you'll do well at Calendars Games & Toys. Prices were decent enough. It's an outlet mall and they seem to understand that it won't do well at full retail. Service was good. Not many people - I only noticed the one woman running the register and she got me rung up quick enough.

Figures, board games, Nerf, Legos, you name it really. The prices seemed a little bit steep though that was kinda to be expected. You have the everyday toys mixed into the items that people often consider collectibles here. Lots of Star Wars, for example, on the overpriced "collectibles" side of things. Or think *fill-in-the-blank* edition of Risk, Monopoly, etc. for board games. There are a lot of puzzle games too, on that note. Where you fit pieces of wood or metal together to impress people or keep your ADHD occupied. Stuffed animals of all kinds (Pokemon in particular) and toys for even the youngest kids. The shopkeeper was just one guy who spent the entire time on his phone. Not very talkative or engaging unless you went up to talk to him first. He did give me a discount on a Lego box that was damaged however. Discounts on Legos just don't exist so I was happy to oblige. It's great to have this place here as a break from all the clothes shopping.

I have been a long time regular patron of gamers alley and it is bar none the absolute best gaming…read more+ collectibles store I have ever been to. I wanted to call out three of their workers for absolutely exceptional customer service. The first one and biggest amount of appreciation I wanted to extend is to Cody. His general knowledge of the tcgs gamers sells along side an encyclopedic knowledge of their inventory are both indespensable as a customer. I cannot count how many times I've come in for cards in the case and BECAUSE of his knowledge I've ended up grabbing cards I otherwise wouldnt have purchased I also buy my singles from gamers because they are always honest on the condition of the cards, another thing I wanted to specifically commend cody for being exceptional at. Next is Jessica. She's always very friendly, polite, knowledgeable, and makes us feel noticed and welcome whenever we are in the store. Her warmth is absolutely radiant and I truly think she's another standout. The last one i wanted to commend is Samuel. I have less interactions with him so less to say but my few interactions with him have all been positive and I generally feel hes another gem among the staff And then just to repeat it one final time, Cody is an absolute standout every time we go to the store. I often drive out of my way to come to gamers over alternatives after calling to confirm cody is there and working. It's that impactful and important when he is there that we will go out of our way to see him. 10/10 recommendation on all fronts. Do NOT miss this store if you like anything gaming and collectibles. They are cooler than any museum and friendly to boot.

They have a good selection of comics, graphic novels, and collectibles. They also sell ice cream/milkshakes, etc. I've yet to partake of the sweet treats, but everyone that I've seen order them, appears to enjoy them fairly well. I like the "feel" of the place. You can tell it was started by someone that LOVES comics and the geek life. Which means they are my people. I enjoy talking with the young man who usually works when I make my monthly pilgrimage. I appreciate this place and I usually end up spending more than I originally intended to. I don't mind supporting them because I want them to be around for a very long time. If you're in the area, check them out!
