Actually, second time coming here! They have many antique collections and many other collectibles that have quite bit of values like cards and games as well as drawings! It's like a small museum in a sense! Personally, I enjoyed looking around! Will be back again! Cheers

This business is just down the road really, I have seen it a ton of times, even noticed the art on the side but never stopped in here. It was the first stop in my wife's planned birthday weekend for me! The place is HUGE and has EVERYTHING from sports memorabilia to antiques. Comics, Statues, art, movie collectables, even Vampire hunting kits and old campaign buttons and the like. Even some random mayor campaigns from all over. My wife loved the huge and varied collection of things and memorabilia they had to offer. The staff was friendly and super knowledgeable and it was fun seeing all the stuff and hearing the stories and history. We did discover that people collect locks of hair and not to judge but that seems way more niche then I even realized. To each their own. We both love history but found out we didn't really need to see Napoleons or Monroe's hair. On that note, it is very pricey, others have pointed that out, they have graded comics and tons of stuff but it is very pricey and according to some of the reviews you can get the same stuff cheaper online or elsewhere. Also and I hate this anywhere, no restrooms. You have to leave, which to me breaks the spell you have going. You want to keep people there, seeing stuff and hope they buy. Honestly if I have to leave for the restroom I am not coming back. It's a sore spot with me pretty much anywhere. The one that got me was they had some stuff displayed behind the counter, a Jason Voorhees signed picture, a cool shadow box type display of Jason's Mask with Freddy's glove coming up to cover it, and a sign Freddy Kruger picture. No prices so we asked as my wife and I got married as Freddy and Jason and thought the box would be cool. But you can only buy all three and they wanted $1,500 for all of it. So no sale. I am giving it one extra star then I normally would due to the fact I see a lot of complaints about the service but we had great service, friendly and knowledgeable. I did find all 12 issues of Squadron Supreme for a good prices in a set. The items were cool to see, a comic of Spidey's first meeting with Dr. Doom, guns, swords, and so much. It is a cool place to visit, I don't see becoming a regular but glad I went.

I came into this location for the first time today. When walking into the establishment, consumers are wowed with rare finds ranging from signed sports memorabilia, comic books, action figures, vintage gaming sets, WWII and German Reich items, Roman Empire armor, a Fabergé egg, designer handbags, vinyl records and other antiques and one of a kind collectables. This is a place for the collectors collector! Thing One and I roamed the isles for about 30 minutes looking at so many items while going "ooh ah" -Grits After perusing, Thing One found an item he liked (and something that my wallet could afford), which was a comic book. The price for the comic book after tax was just over $8, which was extremely expensive as this comic book retails for $4 (that's a 50% mark up, yowza!). While Thing One was happy with this purchase and the person who rang us up was hospitable, I don't foresee myself going back any time soon as the prices here are a little excessive for me. As far as the prices are concerned in this establishment overall; in the words of O.T. Genasis, "Your price is way too high, you need to cut it..."

Keychains

Was pointed to this place as I was told they sold gunpla model kits. They do. But only four kits. Not saying this is the reason why they are receiving 2 stars but due to these reasons: - Gunpla model kit had the original msrp of $80 sticker on the box. However, they are selling it for $125. A $45 markup. - The legitimacy of the one piece keychains is also questionable as they do not look like the keychains on the side of the box. Of course they're made in China. "$8 by the way" - It seems like they do work on commission somewhat? As they are constantly being a hawk on your every move and it gives off the salesman vibe without the knowledge of the product they are selling. - Yes I do agree with all the reviews where all merchandise are overpriced and marked up for a ridiculous amount. Overall the store has a lot of stuff but I wouldn't spend a dime here if you are looking for collectible's as they are way overpriced.

Magic the Gathering singles that can be bought for a single penny being sold for 50x that amount.

I came in to sell some MTG cards -- Don't bother. I brought in a $35 card from the newest set that one of the staff looked up on TCGPlayer with me to verify that it was selling for $35 (I had to wait for him to get off his lunch break too), and he told me he would only give me a small percentage for it. I thought I misheard him at first because I thought that I would be getting the value for my card and he'd be taking a cut. This was not the case. They lowballed me so hard it was ridiculous, and their excuse was that "Oh, it just takes a while for the cards to sell. Those cards you see over there have been sitting there for years." Like that's just karma dude, you tried to give me $7 for a $35 card. Also, they have some Pokémon and Magic the Gathering singles boxes. They're about 50 cents a card, which is so overpriced considering that every Magic card I looked at in the box was worth one or two pennies each. And I know for Pokémon you can get 50 different singles for around 5 dollars or less with the right seller on Amazon. Worst store for cards. TL;DR -- They lowball you if you're selling, and they overcharge you if you're buying.

the take on what counts as a "collectible item" here is definitely different from what i thought it'd be. the comic book collection here is impressive, but also nothing i haven't seen before at one point or another. the video games are a joke. my ex boyfriend had more games/consoles then they do. randomly what makes this place stand out is the historical collectibles. i'm not even a history nerd but i spent most of my time in this store chilling with the medieval knives ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they be rad. check em out ;D

My nephew's birthday is in April and he's very fond of comic books. My brother asked me to look…read morefor Marvel comic books in Austin. First, visit Dragon's Lair Comics & Fantasy. From the outside, it sits quietly in a North Austin shopping center near Hop Doddy's. If you blink, you might miss it. Once you step through the doors, you feel transported to a totally different place like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter story. You find shelves of comics, books, games...everywhere your imagination can take you. Dragon's Lair has been part of the Austin community since 1986. You feel a rush to flip through comics, try on costumes or transport yourself to a fantasy land. New releases co-exist with long loved series. Graphic novels, tabletop games, miniatures, dice, and collectibles are readily available. The prices at Dragon's Liar appear reasonable. According to the store manager, the tables within the store are reserved for Magic tournaments, Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) campaigns, and board games spread across tables. The energy is welcoming fostering collaboration between new and existing players. The shop cats, Diana and Brigid, wander through aisles like they own the place, which makes Dragon Liar feel homey and welcoming. The store stays open late sometimes, acknowledging that games and stories don't always fit neatly into set hours. Dragon's Lair is huge, busy, sometimes overwhelming in a good way. It reflects Austin's creative culture...inclusive, and deeply passionate.

Always friendly staff. Sadly they didn't have what i was looking for but my wife found Choose your…read moreown adventure tarot cards. They have a ton of stuff for everyone.

A small little shop tucked away next to a million others. There's all sorts of stuff in here, but…read morenot a very big selection of comics. Like I said, it's a very small shop. That being said, they were helpful and kind. If I any questions they were happy to help. I picked up an ASM #36 Mary Jane variant. I'm pretty happy with it.

Let me start off by saying I traveled everywhere looking for the right comic book store here in…read moreAustin, Texas. Finally, I stumble into this place. The gentleman was gracious. The music was great and he was very informative about what I was looking for. Nicely hooked me up with their monthly program so I can get all the comics I needed, and they were on point for about six months. Then comes my birthday, very excited to bring my son in and grab my monthly comics. I called the shop on the day of my birthday and the lady owner answered the phone, at this point I have met all the gentleman and just wanted to introduce myself. Me: " Hello who am I speaking with? Her: " I didn't give a name" Me: " correct that's why I'm asking" Her: what can I do for you" Me: " id like to know who I'm speaking with please" Her " This is Kings Cache" Me" I understand that I'm a new member and just checking in on my comics" then her tune changed. Graciously she wanted to be friendly instead of acknowledging me from the beginning and being secretive and ominous. All of this came from her with a very cantankerous attitude and resistance to lead with the right customer service. They have caller ID there, so usually when I call the fellas already acknowledge me but name. Can't believe the fake high road this lady wanted to drive on. I've had nothing but great experiences and then I call and she gives me two shades of gray. Buyer beware, they are nice til they grab ya, then ounce they have you, the care to get to know you or give you the respect you deserve is obsolete. The one gentleman is great the other two could care less for you. Austin Books and Comics and Batcity comics have now graciously taken my business. Which is good because if I see another funko pop my head will explode. Stick with dolls and leave the comics to the big boys. Just because it's a hobby doesn't mean you have to give it a bankers mentality. Ebay, Other stores and Collector conventions offer too much competition. Be better humans. You made this guy feel awful on a day that was so important you won't realize. At the end of the day you just had to be nice, you know who you were and to that my circles and collectors corners will not drive from hill country anymore to spend our disposable income. Thank goodness Batcity just opened up. Can get two more comics for the gas saved!!! I hope this helps do better, because I'm still reeling and this message doesn't do what I witnessed justice. Sad times

I was in from San Diego and looked up local comic stores in Austin to visit while visiting…read morerelatives. This store was clean, well-organized and had quite a variety of comic-related items. I was on a treasure hunt for silver-age JLA. Found a lot. Tim double-checked the pricing and updated some of them, which was an honest thing to do. It decreased some of the prices, which made me buy more. Later, I decided that a bookend pewter statue needed to be in my home, so I called and bought it. Tim was upfront and said it was damaged and knocked a significant amount off it. McCaela was great in answering my questions about shipping. This is a great place with great customer service and I'll be back for sure.
