Books-A-Million is on my bibliophile list of book stores to visit when in the area to see what's…read morenew. Definitely "Books-A-Million " with the largest selection of books for adults and children. If you're in the market for a hard-copy magazine, it's sad that digital has reduced the overall selection. Joe Muggs Coffee area looks like a great place to read or work with a cuppa. Themes: USA 250 years, Romance Novels, and Summer Reads.

I remember Books-A-Million from my trips to Alabama. I recall it feeling more like the Half-Price…read moreBooks I still enjoy today. This location wants to be Barnes & Noble so bad that the experience is almost the same. It's not terrible, but it isn't innovative or special. The bargain sections often have interesting gift books, but the joy of finding that uncollected special order in a clearance bin is now a distant memory. If I want to buy someone's bestselling hardcover for 90% off, I can snatch it up here, assuming I don't want to wait for the free shipping from Amazon or another online resource. I regularly find more interesting books at Ollie's just up the road. I found nothing here worth waiting in line to buy in the past year or more. Granted, the store is clean, and the staff is helpful. It's just wholly unremarkable as a bookstore. If your thing is toys for adults with disposable income (aka collectibles), they have a huge section surrounded by hundreds of Funko Pops. But there is nothing here I cannot find online and possibly cheaper. I typically only visit when Lady Matilda is over in the Michael's located next door, and, as this is deep within the retail hellscape that is Colonial Park, I try not to come by very often.

I've been collecting comic books for 50 years. I stopped by Comix Connection while on a trip. I'm…read moreso glad I did! The store was clean and neat and welcoming. They had a terrific selection of new comics and back issues, and their prices were reasonable. Nicky was friendly and helpful. I would definitely shop here again in the future.

This is a brightly-lit, well-stocked, and fun place to visit. The staff is friendly, they remember…read moreyou and your interests, and point out titles and upcoming events they think you might be interested in. I love the fact they carry toys, games, and books across many genres so there's weird and unusual items to browse and buy. They have frequent events and sales, plus they move items out through a clearance bin that always has something interesting. What I love most about the place is how outgoing it is. Customers talking fandom with the staff, sharing experiences and opinions (sometimes they have a "NO SPOILERS" sign up when a big movie comes out) makes this more than a shop. It's like a community center for the region's nerd herd.

It's been in Highspire for a couple of years, but I did have a chance to stop in. The familiar logo and green paint stand out on Main Street. The decorative windows are the brightest part of that block of older buildings. The interior is well-organized on two floors and packed with collectibles, toys, comics, and related merchandise. Most of the current and recent backlist comics and books are priced, but you may have to ask for a market price on some unticketed items. But the staff is helpful. The store is easy to reach from Middletown, Harrisburg, and just off the Harrisburg junction of 283 and the Harrisburg East exit of the PA Turnpike

Great selection of collectibles - maybe even slightly more appealing than the comics because of the…read moresheer volume. A good mix of newer stuff and harder to find items, though a bit on the pricier side - even by secondary market standards. Having said that, if anyone is going to have a figure, statue or rarer comic in the Capital Region, it's going to be these guys. The staff is friendly and chatty about most subjects. It's a solid crew over there. Honestly, this store shines as one of the few remaining bright spots in a shopping area that is long past it's retail prime.

If your looking for a small business that has awesome finds look no further than this…read moreestablishment! I have recently become interested in retro toys due to having my first daughter & have always been able to find great toys from Uncle Bob's! I have always been on the look out for Star Wars toys, Strawberry Shortcake, ALF, & CareBears which are always in good stock! It's nice to be able to come visit and definitely find something to take home! (Pics of everything I have collected so far :)! ) The value of these toys and items are unbelievable! I definitely feel that the items are wonderfully priced & makes it easier to get those hard to find items all at once. The owners are wonderful & happy to help you find what you are looking for!! Shelley and Bob are so friendly, personable, and nice! It definitely makes for a more pleasant experience! I would advise checking out their facebook page as they allow you to hold items! It's a great way to see what's in stock as well! Please consider checking them out! I am sure you will definitely find something awesome to take home! I definitely have become a regular shopper with them& recommended them to you!

First off: response will be that he politely asked my child not to touch the toys. THIS is patently…read morefalse. I would have had no problem with that. I don't let my kids run wild in stores; she was in my line of sight. We were browsing the store for the first time and looking to make a purchase. My daughter was touching one of the toys and the owner came out and spoke to her, a young child, very aggressively, very unnecessarily, and snatched it out of her hand. He startled her, though she wasn't damaging his merchandise. She tried to say something, but he cut her off abruptly and rudely. I POLITELY told him he could speak nicer to children, at which point he got loud with me, shouted at me not to come back and that I was "trespassing." He scared my kids and left me with a really bad feeling. Totally inappropriate for a business owner to go from 0 to 60 so fast with a child and a customer. Would NEVER go back, even if it didn't feel like a tweaker store. The woman at the counter did nothing. There's a great vintage toy shop in E-town and it's friendly! Spend your money there.
