It's a nice place for retro fans to browse. I think it's a cool place to explore. They have…read moreeverything from video games to VHS tapes to Funko Pops. They also sell shirts mimicking nostalgia. They even have arcades that are blast from the past that patrons come to play classic games on. Arthur is a good guy. They may not have many video games from some video game consoles to sell but they have everything. They do have cool GameCube controllers here. Movies are really pricey though. They don't have too many kids films but those shelves are filled with mainly feature films for everyone of all ages. I like Retro Junk in Manchester better just because they have some really cool stuff that I think are eye appealing and are fun to browse there plus DVDs are somewhat cheaper there.

We heard this store had a giant space marine so we wanted to make sure to check it out on our way home from CT. It was really glorious though I wish it was in a spot to take your photo with. The manager was really friendly. We talked to him for a bit. The store itself is way larger than the ones in RI and MA so there were several game tables going and a good crowd of people. We will visit again to play Also- I would not go by the description under "games workshop" on yelp- It is not a "video game store" It's particular miniatures/ fantasy game.
