I recently visited Arcana's Video Games Store after driving a considerable distance through heavy…read moretraffic because of the positive reviews I had read and the information on their website indicating that they accept trade-ins and support multiple video game platforms. The website even displays logos for the major gaming companies, which gave me confidence that my items would be considered. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. I brought two Xbox systems to trade in: an Xbox One X White Special Edition and an Xbox One S with a 1TB hard drive. After arriving, the employee informed me that they were no longer accepting Xbox trade-ins because Xbox products were "not selling well." He also mentioned that I should have called ahead first. This was surprising, as there was no indication of this policy change on their website, which clearly indicate that trade-ins are accepted and it was the main reasons I made the long trip to the store. During the interaction, I also noticed an Xbox One console for sale in the store. When I mentioned this, the employee explained that it was a special edition. I responded that, given the price it was listed at, it might be difficult to sell. Additionally, after briefly inspecting my systems, the employee incorrectly stated that my Xbox One X was a digital edition. I had to point out that it clearly has a disc drive and is in fact the white special edition model. Overall, the experience felt dismissive and unprofessional, especially after explaining that I had driven a long distance specifically because the store advertised trade-ins. If the store has changed its trade-in policies, it would be very helpful to update that information online so customers do not waste their time making unnecessary trips. This was my first experience with Arcana's, and unfortunately it will likely be my last.

Snacks are available (thanks for the $1 water!!!) and they have clean bathrooms. Everyone was super friendly and now I have a whole list of new games I want to purchase.

Many others in the area will buy card games from the manufacturer then sell at inflated prices to squeeze all value out of a set. Pair o Dice doesn't do this and it's quite admirable. For example, earlier today, I went to two closer stores and was told a box of Avatar MTG cards was over $210 ($174 on Amazon) then I went to Pair o' Dice and bought it at $180. I'll gladly support a local gaming shop that supports their customers and doesn't see us as sponges to squeeze. Good job, Pair o Dice. I will be back.

Mehdi was super patient and personable while I picked out cards and I felt welcomed the whole time. When I got home that evening, I noticed one of the cards had a minor defect and the store was more than happy to hear me out and make sure I was satisfied and taken care of. When I stopped back in Eric and Mehdi were amazing in helping me and making sure I left satisfied. Other than the awesome customer service, they have a huge selection of singles from various card games like One Piece, Magic, Pokemon and so on as well as tons of sealed product as well and the prices are very fair. Highly recommend stopping in and supporting this store if you live in the area.

I'm not a huge Lego enthusiast but if the giant Lego stores were Walmart or Costco, this place felt like a true hobbyist's boutique shop. Not a lot of real estate but packed with unique sets and collectibles. My son was here for birthday party which is hosted in the room in the back. He had a blast making Lego racecars and racing/crashing them down a giant ramp. Each kid got to design and build their own unique mini-figure to take home too! If you do have a party for little kids - their parents or staff will have to make sure they actually stay in the party room. Don't want them to accidentally knocking over anything like the $1000 Millenium Falcon on display.
