I'm sorry, but this is another hobby place where everyone acts like they don't give a crap if you…read morewalk in or not. Tried to shop there on a few occasions (I'm a big hobby spender, young lady/atypical hobbyist, don't look like it but I know my stuff, deep in it and need singles), and you step in and everyone has just more important things to do than help you. Feels rude and unwelcoming. Drove 30 mins with my partner looking for singles, and their whole case was covered in boxes of other cards so you could see nothing. Possibly some sort of tournament happening in the seating area but the store was open, we had money, we wanted to buy. I attempted to move them so I could see and hopefully buy, and after I moved the last of like 5 cases so I could see (we've been at the store for like 15 mins) what I'd assume is an employee approached me. "You are going to break the glass, so I'LL MOVE THEM FOR YOU." And he finally removes the last box (had no idea that me gently stacking cardboard boxes would potentially damage plexiglass, but whatever, no one helped us for like 15 mins. Like what?). So I peaced without purchasing any of the things I noticed I wanted after I could see their inventory. Super rude and unhelpful, seriously cost you my business. My partner bought a few packs of a set we were having trouble getting, not out of patronage, but feeling like it was a wasted trip if not. We won't be coming back. Awful taste in our mouths, be welcoming if you're a hobby shop, or at least pretend helping us is important to your business. Urging fellow hobbyists to hit up That's E or the one in Shrewsbury on Boston Turnpike over this crap. There's a reason they still have the in-demand sets...

A wicked awesome store, but they became what they railed against. I've been going to Newbury Comics…read moresince '83 when they had the first location on Newbury Street. It was exciting. A place for me. Remember the address? Think of Modern Method Records! When I lived in Natick, I went to this store due to proximity; but whilst in university I frequented The Garage almost daily. Slowly in the 1990s vinyl succumbed to CD. The offerings became less and less. Japanese anime, clothing, and plastic bobble heads became the norm. Virgin and Tower also died a slow cancerous death. Newbury, is like an old friend. Meh. Still a decent store, the spirit is still there even though the Do It Yourself flavor, feeling, and attitude of Let Them Eat Jellybeans is not.

Stay away!

An innocent walks in here, looking for specialty trading cards (or perhaps to sell some cards at a…read morefair price). Yes, sure, that's the easy and obvious reason to come here, and probably the reason that draws most here in the first place. But what the innocent doesn't know is this: Upon the first step inside as you push the door open, you catch your breath. And in that breath, you breathe, you smell history, friendliness, knowledge, and secrets waiting to be discovered. Just in that first single second, you realize you have found a special place that doesn't exist anywhere else in the whole entire world. You gaze in wonder, hardly daring to even take the next step for fear of missing some gem on the walls, shelves, stacks or showcases. You know immediately, that you will spend many seconds, minutes and hours here, just appreciating the wealth and variety of sports memorabilia. And if you don't know what you're looking at, you soon will. The owner has an easy way about him: insanely knowledgable, yet approachable and so kind to kids and grown-ups alike. He gives you a friendly greeting, and within a few minutes of chatting, he has sized you up, knows your inner longings and dreams regarding all things related to sports nostalgia. He saves and hoards special items for hundreds, nay, thousands of customers, delighting and taking honest pride in his humble quest, which appears to be to provide the perfect home for each and every one of the treasures he meticulously collects. Complete with a kids' club ("Gilbert's Gorillas,") where kids get free cards, games and an education in collecting, this is an old-school mom & pop joint that's as good as it gets. You can find a myriad of trading cards for every sport imaginable. You can find baseballs signed by famous people (yes, even the Big Bam is featured), sneakers worn by basketball players, jerseys and all manner of other great sports-related gifts. But mostly, you just have to experience the vibe in here. You may have wandered in here as a casual browser, but you will walk out an acolyte.

Amazing game store that caters to a variety of hobbies. Just a few notes from someone who has been…read moregoing to all of the locations (since they opened or if they have been more recent) for about 10 years: - They never open and reseal product. I have never seen this one time in my entire time in the stores. Whoever said that in another review is lying. - Prices are compared against the market and 99% of the time, the store will give the customer the best price they can. - They have the most generous trade-in sale percentages of any store around. Having spent time with the owner and founder, most of the employees, and a good amount of the customers, I can say that this store is hands down the best games/hobby venue around. Truly care about providing people and families with a place to compete and have fun.

Some games that are found at Marbles are a spin-off of a popular game, such as chess and tic-tac-toe. The prices are great and not any more expensive then a really well made game.

All in all, really great selection and a perfect location.

Marbles: The Brain Store:…read more Excellent place to buy games and toys that challenge your brain in different ways - the store is divided into different sections: memory, coordination, visual perception, word skills & critical thinking. The staff is enthusiastic and fun to play with haha. I spent almost an hour playing a number of games with them and bought 1 game and 2 toys (going back for another game next week - I need to pace myself!) Will come in handy during the holidays (they have a wide price range from $10 to over $200). They just opened yesterday - my only complaint is that I wish they'd been open before the hurricane left us with an 8 hour power outage.
