There is a bit of everything here. The prices are wide range depending on what you are looking for. I know this is not the only location around, but this is the Ankeny location. There is a ton in here. I haven't looked at everything in this store but some things are comic books, board games, action figures, vinyl, toys, game system accessories. I was there to see if they wanted purchase something from me. They have a space in the back where they will take and see if they will buy off you. They offer cash and store credit.

There's an abundance of seating in the back for gamers to get together and there's even a separate LEGO room. They also have movies, comic books, funko pops, and so much more!

And if you want advice, it seemed the other patrons were all friendly enough to share their favs with you. There are several small niches to sit and read, or people watch and enjoy your beverage. This store had a very welcoming and open vibe.

I see a lot of reviews talking about their no-refund policy, which is true but when I purchased my 3DS they made it very clear that I could not get a refund for it.

A sales man came over and greeted us and asked what we were looking for. My son had found an Xbox 360 game and asked if it was compatible with his Xbox S one. The salesman told us we needed to go to the Microsoft website and look it up ourselves. My son then found a game that he wanted that was $45. We ran over to Target and purchased it for $29.99.

That was before July 9th, 2026. I walk in with my friend, looking at records, the guy working there asks when I was there last, standard practice for this establishment. I say about two weeks ago, when they had a minifridge with monster energy drinks inside, which the nice woman working there last time had said were free. I look around, don't really find anything that I had been looking for, (which is rare at vinyl cup) and then ask the person now working there if they still have monster. He looked like he was finishing a conversation with a customer, which in hindsight I should have waited a bit. He asks, "I'm in the middle of something, what was that?" I respond, do you guys have monster? He says, "does it look like we have monster?" "No." I reply, to which he says, "then we don't. You just want free monster, don't you?" I say, "No, I was looking" but the man cuts me off, saying, "Bullsh-" (you know the rest). I say quietly to my friend, "I think we should go." The employee overhears and says, "yeah, and maybe don't come back." I've long supported this store and usually find the records I like. I do like this store and what it offers to the community, but this worker being hired, (first time I'd seen him working there by the way) really makes me like the place a bit less and lose some trust. Looking back, seeing two teenagers walk into your store and ask about free monster may seem annoying, but I frequent that place. I'm not saying the worker should know who I am, but I find it sad at the end of the day that employees are driving me out of a store I love so much. During fall fest 2025 I bought one of the first hats you guys started selling. I have been on the text list since November 2024. I love vinyl cup. That's why having an encounter like this at such a store is so saddening to me.

I was told they could only exchange them for the exact same product, but since that item wasn't in stock I'd have to contact the manufacturer myself. I wasn't asking for a refund, just an exchange or store credit for an item that was defective on day one. Most retailers stand behind the products they sell, especially when something fails immediately. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience here, so I can't recommend shopping at a place that doesn't take responsibility for defective items.

I'd driven by Divine Treasures not long ago when I needed to quickly grab some plumbinbg supplies from the nearby Ace Hardware store and decided to check it out. I was greeted right away when I walked in. There were two staff members on site. One older and one younger. I let them know what my thoughts were and they guided me right to the section I needed, Vanessa loves to write so I'd decided on a faith based journal that included a daily devotional and they had a really good selection. While I was looking at the journal selection one of the staff members made sure to point out a small selection of ink pens embossed with scripture to go along with the journal. While I don't know how often I will be a returning customer here... I WILL be a returning customer if the need arises. The selection of books, cards, jewelry, etc. as well as the customer service I experienced at Divine Treasures was very welcome... I really appreciate their attentiveness and willingness to help! I would definitely recommend this business to anyone seeking faith based books or gifts.
