Black Al is the man even though he tells me i waste my money on nonsense but i call it trial and error lol. I can never remember the hours and Al has stayed an hour or so late multiple times helping me out as well as the owner Alan. I wish i could remember the others names because its like everyone there has zero problems going above and beyond! This place is like a sun burned pecker.... You cant beat it!!!

The teens that work there are very nice and helpful too CONS: There's no parking on the street and the place is cramped. it's inventory is 95% cards and 5% other so not the best place to get an autograph. OVERALL: Its a great card store but not a generic memorabilia store. However, this is a place i will come back to after some time has passed

Would highly recommend! Great selection and the owner is nice and has fair prices! They have boxes…read moreas well as individual cards as well as autographed memorabilia.

Extremely unwelcoming and rude staff -- worst first impression I've had at a TCG store…read more I walked in 15 minutes after opening, politely greeted the employee, and asked about hanging out in store prior to the event schedule, only to be snapped at with "no thats what no free play means" and then talked down to in a serious, condescending tone over "no free play," despite me never asking to play. The event wasn't for another two hours, and I was clearly just checking out the store for the first time. Zero customer service, zero friendliness, and absolutely no reason to ever spend money here -- good luck to them.

Not for board games. Not for me…read more I'm still giving four stars because I imagine if I was really into magic the gathering (MTG), Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh or other trading card games, I would love this place. They have an excellent collection of trading cards. They also host tournaments. It's a cozy store, small but with a nice seating area. I stopped by briefly looking for board games. True tabletop games, not ones that you can find at a big box store. Not monopoly and scrabble. Not even settlers of catan. Looking for something like Wingspan. Everdell. Ark Nova. Some tabletop game hobby shops have a nice wall of games like these. This place has a shelf. A single shelf. Games are facing forward so you can fit fewer games. Maybe 10 games. Pandemic, Machi Koro, Small World, Gloomhaven. So this is not the place. Going to have to look further.

Gonna give the red caboose a five star regardless of my experience…read more Ok. So I actually popped in a little while back just to get the lay of the land. Blah, blah blah I could reiterate what everyone else has said. Good and bad. But it's necessary that we preserve as many places that still cater to specialty interests and hobbies. It's more museum with the option to sell moreover than a hobby shop at this point. The two times I've been in there the individual running the shop was speaking with customers and was very knowledgeable. Yet a bit brusque. Be respectful. And understanding. However... I, on my latest visit was prepared to make a purchase. You see I was home because work was slow. I was perusing Amazon etc looking for a project to keep me occupied while I have some downtime. By the way it's January and just got really, really cold. I want to support as many brick and mortar businesses as possible. So I button up and make the trip downtown. So I get there and peruse the inventory. After a while I find something that will keep me busy for a few weeks. Here's the rub. I get to the counter and the owner( I assume) starts looking up the price. It's got a price on the side of the box but he claims it's the wrong price. I stand there patiently whilst he looks it up on his iPad. And wait. Now he's tagging on 20 bucks to the existing price on the box. The prices on most of these items are pretty high I noticed. All good. But don't try to squeeze me at the register and tell me someone put the wrong price on the box. If you'd have honored the price right or wrong I'd be sitting here working on the model. Instead I'm writing this review.

It's a really big store with two floors - not just Gunpla. They have a lot of figurines and nendo's as well. The nendo's are pricier than if you had preordered from Goodsmile, but if you missed the chance, they have an extensive selection. Staff were very nice and we easily spent over an hour in the store.

I would most definitely recommend coming and checking the shop out (:

No ghouls and goblins mind you (or anything that would suggest witchcraft or black magic) but festive harvest scarecrows and decorative pumpkins can now be had as you make your way through the autumnal glory to Sunday service.

Extremely long lines, front end manager is useless, and the fact that they don't believe in…read morescanning barcodes is ridiculous, I am officially done with this store. I vowed I wouldn't shop in this store again but I received a giftcard for Christmas and went to use it. Of course the line went to the back of the store, manager closed a register while the line kept growing and they had most of the employees stocking Valentines day items. The fact they won't scan barcodes is the biggest flaw as you need to wait for the so-called manager to look up the items on a tablet. Mind you this is for any name brand item you purchase. It really is a shame because I like what they sell, nice selection and good prices but the checkout experience is horrible.
