My favorite Game store in Sacramento…read more It contains a large catalog of card, board, strategy and miniature games that will appeal to a casual laymen, a beginner, or the serious die hard enthusiast. There are 2 parts to this large store, the showroom area with all the games, miniatures for your perusing and purchasing pleasure. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in recommending a game you may like, or answering inquiries into availability or ordering a game they may not have in stock. The 2d part is large game room that is stocked with games you can test out, or just come in with your friends, or meet new friends and try them out. They publish a monthly schedule of tournaments, contests, or just open game playing. On this occaision, I came to one of the Semi Annual flea market bazaars, where anyone could sign up, for a small fee , get a space to sell their older games , or maybe crafts. There is No fee to be a shopper st the bazaar, so you can find some good deals on games, miniatures, cards, books, terrain, storage or dice. I scored a Zombicide game that was unpunched at a great price for my son & I to play. All in all, just a great store for any game enthusiast of every age from beginners to the hard core gamer.

Truthfully, I really don't think we have anything down there that compares to the size, selection, and value at Great Escape. This place was awesome! There's just so much to look at! Friendly customer service, great choice selection of games and tools, and if you sign up for their rewards at the register you get $2 off. I'm a new 40k enthusiast and really enjoyed hanging around here. The staff are very friendly and knowledgable. Their prices are reasonable and if you're someone who's interested in painting miniatures and all- definitely give this place a shot. They have everything you need here... you've got plenty of options. It's a pretty big establishment, the only weird thing is that it's hidden tucked away on the backside of the building. I went on a Saturday afternoon and really enjoyed it! I'm looking forward to exploring more of Sac's gaming scene.

They're known for their extensive (--VERY EXTENSIVE--) RC Hobby equipment and supplies.... And that's what I came for. Came in looking for things that I thought I could only find online upgrade parts for Arrma Mojave Grom and Granite Grom. Was looking for different covers and axle rods. They had what I was looking for! Also, saw a ton of aftermarket parts for ALL scales of Rock Crawlers, and the cars to g with them... I stared at one of them too long, and the sales-tech shoved the crawler in my hand and ushered me over to the rock crawl stage, in the middle of the store... I had a blast! Prior to my experience with this rock crawler, I had my research set on a different type... the hands-on experience helped me make a great choice. I picked one up a week later, for my grandkids. (Today) I saw and perused a LOT... yes, transmitters, receivers, planes, trains, automobiles...dolls, bears, think toys, frisbees, electronic and steam hobby... and even more Toy Hobby, not just crafts... Toy Hobby. I haven't seen such variety of beginner/intermediate/advanced electronic and toy hobby in one place. This. Place. Has. It. ALL. If you don't have a hobby going in, you can definitely leave with one, or two. Well worth the visit to get your hands, and set eyes on the hobby you're looking into!

I had no idea this place existed but it's so fun! There is so much to look at. Everything from…read moretrains to robots and everything in-between. Lots of fun toys and hobby stuff for all ages. They even had some vintage Star Wars stuff which I was excited about. I will most definitely be back. The staff were very nice and helpful. Prices were reasonable and they have such a huge variety of things there's pretty much something for everyone.

They're super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and genuinely cool people, which makes the experience even better. My 2-year-old son loves coming here too, and it means a lot that the team is always so kind and welcoming to him, especially Janely and Patty. The shop itself is huge with a great selection of Pokemon singles and products, and I always end up spending at least 30 minutes browsing.

I happened upon this store thanks to a recommendation from the kind folks at Hammerhead Games…read more Unbeknownst to me, that shop is more of a destination for Magic the Gathering, and when I went in looking for Lorcana, they sent me to Gold Star Collectibles. This shop is a treasure! I'm not in the Sacramento area often, but whenever I am, I have to stop by to check out their selection of Pokemon and Lorcana cards. I find this store to be well stocked, and the employees are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about their product. It's a little hard to find the store, as the windows seem to be always covered up. Parking is plentiful, although the turning in and out of this parking lot is a little sketch as it's on a major road. But it's all worth the risk! I've never walked out of here empty handed, and I have no regrets :)

Yo Pop Fun Shop is on the backside of the tan color building maps will route you to. There's parking back there too. It feels kind of like finding a brewery, and that might prevent break ins I suppose. I couldn't even tell there were windows until we were inside. This is where my cousin wanted to go to do one of our favorite hobbies together (window shopping and impulse buying, ok I guess in his case Seriously Collecting Funko Pop figures) on his birthday shopping trip this year. I had never heard of it, so I figured, why not? I am so glad we checked it out because they had so many different Funkos I wasn't used to seeing, particularly in the recent movies, cult classics, Disney, and anime categories. For instance, I had no idea there were Fruits Basket ones. Mind you, I am an unserious collector. Even though I told myself No Pops after I finally found my holy grail (Crowley + Aziraphale) at The Cave in July, I could not resist buying my kitty's namesake. Each of the main three have their tiny animal selves in addition to human form. The person working the counter that day was awesome, and she talked to us about the collection, prices, and anime. It was such a fun shopping experience. She helps her boss manage the store, which is his personal collection. Imagine having so many of these you can open a small store like this? Wow. The AC was bumping thankfully because it was a hot September day. Yo Pop is also clean and well-organized; that is all her doing, she said. I appreciated her so much but forget her name already. I'm sorry! Turns out there was a buy 3 get a 4th (under ? $15 I think) free, so I walked out with Kyo, Andy from Alien: Romulus (did not know there were even Alienverse Pops before this place!), my cousin's Christmas present, and one additional Power Ranger for him. We had a hard time walking away from sparkling Edward Cullen but neither of us could afford him. Prices are labeled (I cannot stand when they aren't visible), and reasonable. They had an entire wall of $7 figures. The highly collectable ones are expensive everywhere, and there are even apps now to find and compare prices. None of which I've bothered with. There's fun for me in the randomness of the hunt. This store is 95% FunkoPop, but there are some other collectables and toys in here too. I saw some cool retro action figures and loungefly backpacks. So yeah. I maybe have a FunkoProblem. And yeah, I take them out of the box (*GASP*...they look cuter on my bookshelves this way) unless they're the valuable ones. My ineffables and Kyo are def not coming out of the box. Leave me a compliment if you too have a FunkoProblem.

The store was clean that's a ++. The employees super helpful and nice. The disappointeing thing is it seems like Michael's is trying to get rid of human contact and connection.
