You know this place is legit by the smell. Tucked away in the dungeon underneath Flushing, you'll find all types of trading cards here. There's singles, and packs. Of course, nothing is MSRP and there's a discount for cash definitely to dodge transaction fees and the IRS. I came during the winter and my glasses immediately fogged up when opening the door. It's breath taking! I got a regular mega Charizard ex from a phantasmal flames booster for around ~$9 per pack. read more

Gaming Universe - Toy Stores Near Me - Queens, New York

Gaming Universe Corp is a fantastic, dedicated spot for tabletop and trading card game enthusiasts, conveniently located just outside Tangram mall. This shop truly caters to every kind of TCG player, carrying a full range of games from mainstream titles like Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Magic: The Gathering to popular anime-based games like One Piece and Gundam. The store itself is on the smaller and narrower side, so it can feel a bit cramped when there are a few people at the counter, but it's packed with value. They sell cards and packs at straightforward MSRP prices and have a solid selection available in binders and display cases. What really sets it apart is the community space in the back, which has tables for opening packs or playing matches. They're also an official tournament venue, which adds to its credibility as a local hub for serious players and casual collectors alike. For anyone in the area looking for cards, packs, or just a place to play, Gaming Universe Corp is a reliable and welcoming destination. read more

I don't pretend to be an expert on TCG. We stopped by this small, somewhat cramped basement level store across from Tangram because my husband is into certain TCG franchises, and he was surprised to see that prices were pretty fair/MSRP and they have a good selection of everything. He got some Magic The Gathering Final Fantasy packs and I saw a little girl with her grandma buying some Pokemon cards, which was nice to see. They do have tables in the back and probably host tournaments too. read more

Good service, they interact with me when i need something and they had a great selection of items and trading cards specifically and great value read more

This place has everything is an understatement. This store is on the basement floor so be careful not to miss it. The employees are helpful and full of knowledge. I went to get a gift for a friend's son and they have give great advise. I believe they restock on Wednesday but they do sell out so keep in mind. I am excited to find this gem and will be a regular read more

Came here for their weekly Pokémon tournament for the first time. There's really only two good places across the city that you can find competitive play. This is one of them. A friendly guy runs the tournaments and the players are cool too. They're held in the back room that fits about 20ish people. The counter up front was crazy busy, so didn't buy anything this time around, but the prices all look reasonable, so will check that out next time. read more

I've gone in here a few times but lately I've been going any time a new Yugioh set drops. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. They have a nice little area in the back where tournaments are held but you can also play friendly casual matches as well. The owner is super nice and generous. The last few times I've gone in and bought 2 or 3 boxes of cards he'd throw in free sleeves and one time he gave me a free card storage box but today when I went in to buy the newest set of cards he gave me 2 premium deck boxes that hold 100 cards each. That's wild! I had to write up a quick review after that. Thank you for the kindness. This is definitely my go to spot to play and buy from now on. A+ read more

Gaming Universe - Today's purchase! - Toy Stores Near Me - Queens, New York

Pleasant environment, suitable inventory and nominal prices. Pretty cool staff as well.

Amazing place. Fair price. Lots of variety. Me personally I go for the Pokémon cards and whenever I need something it never disappoints. When compared to places like target and Best Buy it beats the price a good amount of times. It even beats out other card shops in NYC. I could only request for more high end Pokémon singles but other than that amazing store. 5/5 read more

This card shop is easily, hands down my favorite card shop in NYC. The staff are so nice, funny and helpful. They make everyone feel welcomed and attend to all needs. Plus, I've pulled some of my best cards from this shop so boxes are legit! So happy I found this place well over a year ago and so happy to know they are reopened for business again. Thank you for all you do GU! :) read more

I've dropped by this place so many times over the years and not once have I had a bad experience coming here. The staff are always so nice and willing to help out with anything. Many of my friend come here to play Magic the Gathering but this card shop hold more than just Magic. They have Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh and many other card games and supplies that you may need. They host many events on a weekly basis so it's easy to jump into and event at anytime. They're pricing on packs, boxes and other things are fair and most of the time really cheap for what most things go for on their marketed value. If I had to recommend a card shop for my friends or anyone for that manner that wants to build there deck, buy some cards, purchase deck boxes and sleeves or just want a comfortable place to hang out I would recommend this place almost always. Just to put it in perspective I live almost and hour from this place but the commute is always worth it. read more

One of, if not the best collectible card game store in NYC. All the staff, including the store owner, are friendly and accommodating to anyone that drops in. A wide variety of different card games available for purchase, you'll be sure you can find what you're looking for. Add to that very competitive(cheap) prices when compared to other similar stores. Not only is it a wonderful place to browse and purchase, they also host a number of events for several card games on a weekly basis. This location is definitely worth the travel, you won't regret coming through if you're at all an enthusiast. read more
