    Visiting from California I had to visit this shop. Macho man on the tv screen. Games and old toys galore (mostly 80's action figures). The mood was positive and I recommend this store. It's a hidden gem!

    Games!

    I found Lost Wonder of Worlds while searching for Pokémon cards for my cousin's birthday after…read morestriking out at a few other stores. Online showed they might have some in stock, so I called first. The gentlemen I spoke with on the phone was really nice and answered my questions, which made me feel confident enough to stop by in person. When I walked in, though, the in-store experience felt a bit different and on the emptier side. The two employees at the front didn't seem very welcoming and gave off a slightly annoyed vibe. When I asked about the Pokémon cards, they seemed confused about what I was referring to until I mentioned I had called earlier and spoken to someone. They checked with their coworker, who clarified which ones he had told me about. I asked to see the packs they had behind the counter, and the interaction still felt a little tense. That said, I was able to grab the two packs, which ended up being the perfect gift for my cousin, so mission accomplished. Overall, they had what I needed, and I appreciate that the phone service was helpful. I'd probably come back if I really needed something specific, and I'm curious to explore more of what they carry. Just hoping for a warmer in-store customer service experience next time.

    As a somewhat new collector, this place is amazing! They truly do have almost everything (besides…read moreTransformers, go to Albella for that.) including a surplus of Gundam. They have shelves upon shelves of comics, model kits, etc--I greatly recommend spending some time looking here. The cashier was extremely helpful, showing me around after I asked for some help. Obviously, the main selling point for most people--the prices are great. A figure I would've spent $40+ on Amazon for cost a mere $27.99, as most of their products are retail OR slightly above, by a very slim margin. Additionally, for those who leave low-star reviews; just because your local comic store participates in a day to give FREE product doesn't mean every business has to. You are not entitled to anything of Free Comic Day, it's just that some people offer it. Also, the cat? Why would you pet a sleeping cat? That's pure, unfiltered ignorance--let the poor thing sleep. Also, who goes to a comic store for Anime paraphernalia? What I'm trying to say is, please, don't drop a trip over here because of strange opinions, as the place is definitely worth the trip.

    I came into today during my visit to Milwaukee to pick up some comics I've been searching for for…read moreyears. John was super patient and looked for every single comic I asked for thoroughly. The comics I bought were in mint condition and some of them were total steals! I was shocked to get a comic worth almost $50 for just $15. This was the most organised comic book store I've ever been to and I really appreciated the cozy atmosphere. I also loved that they had a nice comfy couch for my parents to relax on while I was getting my comics. Would totally recommend this spot if you're hunting for specific comics!!

I went in twice while visiting family in Milwaukee, and both times walked out of Collector's Edge with unexpected surprises and long sought-after additions to my collection. I was especially happy that, while they certainly carry plenty of the standard superhero comics from Marvel and DC, there's also an excellent selection of the independent titles I tend to prefer. And perhaps my favorite thing - to find the good stuff, you should be willing to hunt a bit. While I'm sure the staff would be only too happy to help point you in the direction of something you're looking for, if you have the time to explore for yourself Collector's Edge will reveal its many treasures to you. So while Zanadu, my old favorite place to shop for comics in Seattle, closed its doors years ago, it's good to know that good old-fashioned comic shops like Collector's Edge keep their tradition going.

    Game Together MKE has the best selection of retro video games in Milwaukee, especially games in…read moretheir original boxes, but their prices are higher than similar stores in the Oshkosh/Appleton/Green Bay area and the offers they make for your items are not as good. During my most recent visit I felt insulted by what they offered in trade for six of my GBA games that Price Charting had valued at $154 (they offered $65 which is only 42% of the value). Just the day before, a store in Appleton offered me $50 in trade for the highest value game by itself (I didn't have the other five with me and only decided to trade all six while I was there). Needless to say, I left with my games and without the console I wanted to trade for, which was also priced higher than at the store in Appleton. The lack of other quality options in Milwaukee dictates that I can't completely rule out going to Game Together MKE again and that's probably why they price things the way they do. I wish there were other options in Milwaukee or that they treated their customers with more respect.

    I had heard good things about Game Together MKE, and was excited to find a place that specialized…read morein video games, because I couldn't find anyplace else like that here in Milwaukee. Me and my brother both were excited about this, and so we went together one day to check it out. I would say they had a pretty cool selection, however that is about where the positives stop. My brother noticed one of the limited edition N64 controllers (jungle green if you must know) paired with a regular N64 console behind the front desk. My brother was ecstatic about this, as he has a jungle green N64 but does not have a matching controller for it. He asked if they would be able to separate the jungle green controller from the regular N64 and he could purchase the controller itself. They said they wouldn't be able to do that. We thought that was kind of ridiculous since they had other normal n64 controllers they could've paired with the n64, but whatever. I ended up purchasing a Batman game for the Sega Genesis as well as a Sega Genesis Controller, and my brother purchased a copy of Frogger for the Gameboy color. When I got home, I immediately tried to play the batman game, and it wouldn't boot. I pulled it out and cleaned it, noticing that the connector pins were filthy and obviously hadn't been cleaned by the business before they put it on the shelf. After cleaning, it booted fine. I then tried to use the controller. The controller, also, did not work properly, and half the buttons felt sticky. I opened the controller and it very clearly had had some sticky liquid spilled into it at some point. Even after cleaning the controller still did not function correctly. This isnt really my experience nor my purchase, but I thought I should note that my brother's frogger game was also filthy and even after cleaning still did not boot. There is clearly terrible quality control at this business, and they don't actually test or clean their equipment/games before selling them. I will not be returning to this business.
