I had a few basic questions about Pokémon and other card items, and instead of helping, she came across annoyed and uninterested the entire time. When you walk into a card and game shop, you expect at least some level of enthusiasm or willingness to help--especially with games like Pokémon, Magic, or Warhammer. Unfortunately, that just wasn't the case here. Customer service makes a big difference, and this experience completely turned me off from coming back.

Prices are way too high. This shop is no better than the scalpers. They are charging about $160-170…read morefor $100 products. I played one event at this store, it was advertised as a $5 entry event with standard rules. I arrive to the store and was charged $10 for entry (reasonable amount for event in question but advertised lower) and after I paid, I was told this event had a bunch of house rules and they banned half of my cards. For extra context, I was in the store 2 days prior and none of these house rules were mentioned when they told me about the event. Instead they posted these rules in their discord and never even told me about this server. TL:DR The employees themselves seem fine and nice, but whoever sets the prices and organizes events needs to do better.

Located in an older strip mall in Annandale/Falls Church area off Gallows is a huge sports…read morecard/memorabilia shop. Not just cards, but all kinds of toys, memorabilia, comic books, Pokemon, Pop figures, bobbleheads, etc... old and new. They do buy collections from people who just want to get rid of stuff. They do have a lot of singles, high priced cards and memorabilia as well as Pokemon. Wax boxes, blasters, supplies, etc... as well. Since they are pretty big and the only sports card store in the immediate NOVA area, they are a certified Topps & Upper Deck dealer. So they do participate in big promotions & do giveaway cards & have experiences like sports athlete signings and even a Kevin Hart appearence. The staff is friendly and helpful. The prices can be very extremely high on certain "hot" products but there are some products which are on par with other brick and mortar/online stores. Do your research. One can spend hours looking and browsing in the store.

First time going to a Michael's in six years. Halloween items were listed at clearance for 60 %…read more The items were still expensive to me at a discounted price. Thanksgiving items were listed at clearance at 40% off despite there were still three weeks until Thanksgiving. A lot of items didn't have prices on them or listed by them yet the staff was there to scan for prices. I was able to scan my 40% off coupon to use on a regular item. Lots of savings and sales on new Christmas items like stickers and cards. You can access coupons on the Michael's website to scan at checkout register. My favorite find was an all black journal book & pages as well as Christmas holographic silver frames on blank cards to decorate & personalize. They were 40% off on sale or with a coupon. I plan to stamp hieroglyphics in the cards. It was the first time I used a self service register at Michael's - very easy to use. I plan to visit again when prices are lowered more for clearance.

This review is for the National Capital Model Soldier Society (NCMSS), 58th Annual Show, held on…read moreSeptember 7, 2019 (9am-5pm) at the Hilton Springfield location showrooms. They do not appear to have a routine fixed business location and have rotated around the suburbs of Washington DC for several years. Previously, NCMSS events had been held at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale. During this show, the admission price was $10 per adult guest attending at the door. The venue was spread across several showrooms inside the Hilton Hotel chain location, in Springfield. There was a showroom for finished model kit displays, a tutorial class for hobbyists, and a vendor room for sellers hawking their wares / model kits. Been to this show previously, to try to inspire younger folks to take up the hobby; to no avail. At this show, most attendees and vendors looked to be post-retirement (over 65) in age. Not sure what the intent is, however, there appears to be a generational gap to relate to others and did not see any knowledge or skills being transferred here in any workshops or presentations. Overall: Wow - expensive admission, for something which should be FREE, if this is a civic-type organization show. Dealing with only a handful of repeat vendors, who exhibit cranky, geriatric whining about medical problems, politics, and long drive to "set up" at this show...only to overprice the merchandise...did not seem worthwhile. Definitely will skip this event in the future. Rating: (**) Meh. I've experienced better. Unfortunately, this group appears to be on the decline, winding away into "the-good-'ol-days-long-gone-bye-bye". RIP.
