Because Black and Read is tucked in and hard to see while driving along Wadsworth, I haven't had…read morethe chance to stop by until this past weekend. I didn't really have any expectations and decided to just check it out but ended up very surprised. First off, the service here is top notch. Since we walked in to when we left, the people here are the prime example of customer service. Great job guys! There are a ton of new and used puzzles, board games, records, etc here. The prices are in between a thrift store and places that only sell new stuff if that makes sense? Especially if you're looking for board games, you would really enjoy this place. There were so many here that I have never heard of before. I got a used puzzles here for $7! I look forward to coming back here and browsing around!

Dangerous place if you like games, books, or vinyl. I wandered in looking for ONE game and…read moreum...er...left with more than one. The place is packed. And I mean packed. Luckily the employees, a super friendly bunch, knew where to look or whom to ask where to look or knew the answer right away. They are there to help and is reflected in their attitude! I would say it is chaos in there and there doesn't seem to be a method to the madness but it is VERY worth your time to wander EVERYWHERE in the store. There are gems around you didn't even know you were looking for. I will be back!

I came here after a debacle with Black Rock Coffee. My husband and I were just looking for…read moresomething to get before he left town for business. I was met by a friendly employee who gave me some great recommendations. I ordered a sugar free caramel vanilla frappe and my husband opted for the chocolate ice cream shake. While we waited for our drinks, my husband and I got to reminisce about our nerd life before 16 years of marriage and babies watching everyone play their games at tables and while checking out their novelties. Definitely recommend this spot.

The joys of discovering a comic shop in the mall. Where geek culture thrives, and new adventures…read moreawait. Or at least, that's what we thought. What we actually found was a frustrating barrier to entry, not just into the store's event, but into the hobby itself. Let's talk about the Gundam TCG beta event. You'd think being physically present, cash in hand, eager to participate would be enough. Nope. The real gatekeeper? A smartphone. No phone, no game. It doesn't matter if you're a dedicated player or a teen excited to get into the hobby--if you don't have the app, you're out. And let's not forget, to even use the app, you have to hand over your personal data and jump through digital hoops. When I called ahead to confirm, I was given a workaround: "Just emulate the app on a computer." Sounds simple, right? Except, if you actually read the terms of service, that's a violation of the rules. So, the store's solution? Encourage rule-breaking just to participate in an event they're hosting. Yikes. This is exactly how you alienate an audience. Five eager teens, $70 per player, all turned away because they didn't meet a completely unnecessary tech requirement. And that's just us. We have a group of dads and teens always wanting to dabble in new games to see if they hold their weight. There were plenty of other potential players in the same boat. Imagine the revenue lost. Imagine the enthusiasm squashed. All because we agree smart phones dont belong in our teens hands. Now we got this store trying to tell us our kids need smart phones. This store, like its now-closed predecessor in the Mills, seems to have forgotten a key business principle: know your customer. Not every hobbyist is glued to a smartphone, and forcing a tech barrier on a physical card game is absurd. We play these games because we would rather play these than sit on a phone. The whole situation is ironic. 1/10--because at the end of the day, a comic shop should bring people into the hobby, not shut them out. Good luck--you're going to need it.

Took my niece and nephew (ages 7 & 9) here to buy Pokemon cards. Price was fine (market price) ,…read morebut not nearly close to MSRP. They did hold a phantasmal flames UPC for us and gave us $5 off. Came out to $210. The place has reeked of weed since I first stepped foot into it 5 years ago during Covid. The incense is not helping. Pretty uncomfortable to take children into a business with the haze of marijuana inside. Anyway, a youngster comes in looking to sell his Pokemon collection, and of course the kids and I are interested to see the collection. The owner nearly kicks us out of the store for even looking at it. He refused to let us even see. Not like we were going to buy anything... I'd never seen such a practice. I will not return. Basically a hangout for potheads playing warhammer. Pony tail guy... get your act together.

But it's worth it. Now that they do not, I find it interesting that some of the staff there will bitch about Amazon and how it's had a horrible effect on the business. Or seem so impatient on the phone when I called to ask questions about what I used to be able to look up online. What's my option for shopping? I can call down and if they're busy, no one can go look for anything, I can come down and search around, and hopefully they have what I want. Or... If I know exactly what I want, I jump on Amazon, look it up and order it. And let me be clear: I really am not a fan of Amazon. I think they're the devil. I am more than willing to pay more for the convenience of local store stores, and I also like supporting local businesses. Wizard's Chest needs to figure out what it wants to be. I'd suggest bringing back the ability to look up items online, and failing that, make sure all the staff understands positive service for people who call up and ask questions. I'd be more than willing to pay a little more for the convenience of picking it up the same day.
