You pay a monthly fee that can only be spent in-store, but the selection is pretty limited, so you often end up using your credits on overpriced snacks. On top of that, unused credits don't roll over, meaning if you're not in the mood to overeat, there's not much else to spend your balance on. Pre-orders are an option, but even those can be unreliable. Honestly, you're probably better off painting/playing at home. Save yourself some $$$. Also, tried to resolve an issue and was completely ignored.

Up front is random games and comics. It's nice looking for what was once a sort of army paraphernalia room of an antique store. Now more of a Starbase like its name. In the back they have tables to play card or board games. They have a big selection of snacks and drinks to fill you up when gaming. Service was friendly and was ready to answer any question.

They had scattered shelves all over the store with comics, new and old, slabbed and raw. But any sort of quality control was sorely lacking. Also, kids. I don't have an issue with kids running around however when I'm trying to seriously work on my hobby the last thing I want is kids all over, let alone them (and others) pawing through everything. Yes it's a large store in a mall so that's fine in general, just not my thing. They really should change the name to Pops and a Few Comics. That'd be more appropriate. It's not a bad place by any means. It's just definitely not comic book-focused. And I am.

For a large, full comic book shop, I have nothing good to say about this place. It is very…read moreuninviting, I didn't see or hear any employee when I entered or while shopping. A simple hello goes a long way, but the only person who seemed to maybe work here was engrossed in his phone too much to even notice I was shopping. This store LOOKS well stocked, but it's almost entirely an illusion. It's mostly funko pops, which is fine, but they are dispersed throughout the store in a way that makes finding anything specific impossible. The rest of the figures are old peg warmers marked ilup significantly from msrp. Speaking of wildly crazy markups, the huge selection of back issues are marked "minimum of $3" regardless of the sticker price. The back issues are clearly a large collection of dollar bin books purchased, never sorted, and just flopped out onto the tables like raw meat. It is impossible to shop the back issues unless you have all day to sort through the completely and utterly random boxes. This store lacks any charm, or charisma and seems to be simply a way for the owners to price gouge dollar issues to people who don't know any better. Even the issues being sold at a premium are 3-4 dollars more expensive here than online. In addition, there is signage throughout the store that warns shoplifters that they will be sued for 100,000 dollars if they steal, which i understand is a deterrent for what is probably a real problem, but phrasing it like this reinforces the fact that this place is only looking for an extra buck on goods that are not worth the price, nor effort to steal. If they would actually expend a modicum of effort to clean up the back issues, and break away from the cycle of price gouging comics to kids in the mall, they'd have a decent location and stock, but in the state it is in now, you're better off going to a swap meet.

Must be tough, having to acknowledge people who want to buy things. Their Pokémon cards are way overpriced, too -- maybe they're counting on nostalgia to make up for the markup. I'm sure someone's willing to pay double for an IR/SIR, but it sure won't be me. Anyway, if you enjoy cold stares and empty wallets, this place is perfect for you.

Boxes are labeled but don't seem to be in any logical order and there were a bunch of boxes we couldn't even look at because they were underneath a plastic table cloth with stuff on top of them.

Maybe that needs to be on a shelf behind the counter then. Or there needs to be a sign on that shelf that says nothing on it is for sale. Alas. Could be a nice source for back issues if they were organized and accessible.
