I was blown away by their inventory and everything they had. From Star Wars, Marvel, DC, TMNT, GI Joe, Transformers, Horror Figures and so much more. Something else that I thought was so cool and spoke to my heart was all the toys from my childhood. The guys working here were very friendly and offered help and were there to help when needed. Unfortunately I was short on time so I wasn't able to spend as much time browsing as I wanted. I didn't even get to go through their comics, but they did have several long boxes and what looked liked a pretty nice comic collection. I wish I had found about them earlier so I could have spent more time there. I'm definitely looking forward to my next time in Birmingham so I can visit again. The store is so well stocked and the prices are great. I bought three figures and next time I'm definitely leaving room in my bag. Definitely check them out.

It's nirvana for the nostalgic and middle-aged, and it's hard not to leave with *something* because there are a lot of great deals (and a lot of bank-breakers, too!). You'll leave with an armful of great stuff at a great price and the feeling that it will make perfect sense to drop $300 on a signed Kuiil action figure from "The Mandalorian," which I'll probably do someday. EDIT: I didn't realize I've reviewed it twice now!

Their prices aren't much cheaper than the actual company's that made the models/paints but what they do offer is a rewards service that will keep you coming back. Earn enough points and you'll be getting $10-20 off your next purchase, which can really go a long way. The staff is super friendly and they have built a great community in the Hoover/Birmingham area. If you are looking to get a game in, or try out a board game, over half the store is dedicated to just that. Can't say enough good things about Gear Gaming!

Don't let this distract you however, as this is an amazing place to spend your day with basic snacks and drinks available. The employees are very friendly and helpful, they're always more than happy to help you get anything set up.
