I originally patronize the all in one collectibles many years, probably over a decade now. Since…read moremoving away I haven't really been to the store. However recently we were in the area and I thought it would be cool to stop in. When I walk through the door I was surprised by all the changes they did to the store, which were for the positive. The store is at treasure trove of different things including pops , toys, table, top things, and board games. There are likely more things than I forgotten, but everything in the genre they seem to have a level of something. When I went in the person who was behind the counter was super friendly and greeted me and asked if I needed help. I told him I was just browsing and he told me to let him know if and I needed anything. I let him know the last I was in the store and just wanted to browse around and we waxed poetic a little bit about the store changing. I was surprised they had the brand new d&d campaign for Venca in the special edition. So I picked that up. All in all I thought their prices were fair and the store was pretty nice. If you were local I would not hesitate to come by.

Zapp has a good selection of graphic novels, card game items, toys and collectables, and Pop Vinyl's. Wall book selection was nice. The selection of long and short boxes was fair but very well organized. Some items are not reachable, but the staff are helpful when you want to see something and bring it down for you. Overall, Zapp Comics with absolutely worth a stop and one of the better shops in this part of New Jersey.

Well I'm here to reinforce Everything that My Mama Said plus some extra tid- bits and exclusives that Ya ain't gonna get nowhere else.   Chapter 1: "The World is at Your Fingertips" Books-A-Million has a Sh't-Ton of Books. Ok now I ain't gonna go count 'em all or nothing like that but Yeah if there's something specific on Your list it's definitely gonna be up in here.   Chapter 2: "Mind Yer Bidness Honey" seriously like how the Staff here will not bother You at all and unless given a specific question, it's like they're not even there. But You will find Them to be incredibly helpful whenever called into action.   Chapter 3: "Like Money Darlin', Respect is Earned" Prices are very reasonable at this Store and I never find Myself thinking damn this Book costs way too much here. Especially in comparison to their other larger competitors.   Chapter 4: "Stay Outta The Adult Section"  "okay Mama, I will"  Sshhhhhh  [refer to chapter 2]  ;D   The End!! or is it just the beginning?? . . .

I tried calling the store multiple times throughout the day, at many points, to no avail, to try to…read morereach someone. Not a soul could be bothered to pick up, once over the many hours I called in, in which the store was open, and when I had the displeasure of finally reaching of reaching a person who went by Theo on the other end, they were curt and rude to deal with, and were of no help, not even with an apology for my time that was wasted from the shops poor communication throughout the entirety of the day. Honestly one of the worst communiques I have EVER had had with an LGS in years of play. It takes a lot to make me pissed enough to get up and write even a slightly less than positive review, so you can imagine how pissed I am at the moment. I would dodge like the goddamn plague

I attended a League Cup as a player on December 7th, 2025. During one of the rounds, I witnessed…read morethe following incident between two players, I will refer to here as Player 1 and Player 2. Player 1, who was new to completive play, shuffled his deck after a deck search, but did not offer it to Player to for a cut before drawing from a card effect. Player 2 called a judge after this happened. After reviewing the situation, the judge issued Player 1 a warning for failing to present the deck for a cut. Following this ruling, Player 2 became visibly upset and began using profanity and getting very angry, where I was feeling unsafe. Player 1 attempting to deescalate the situation responded, "you don't have to rule shark me over it." Player 2 then escalated the situation by saying, " meet me outside and see what F***ing happens" along with other curses and violent threats. The head judge, Alan, attempted to disqualify both players, despite Player 1 being the target of the threats. Player 2 left the venue. Player 1 stated he would contact the police regarding the threats if he was disqualified, the judges allowed Player 1 to stay and finish the tournament, where he placed second. During the tournament, Judge Alan proceeded to act unprofessionally towards Player 1, and threw prize packs aggressively at him at the end of the rounds. After the event concluded, the judges informed Player 1 that he was banned from future tournaments at that store. Based on what I witnessed, and as an active member in the community and pokemon professor, I believe this decision was unfair, as Player 1 did not instigate the confrontation and was subjected to direct threats from Player 2. This store and the judges have a very bad reputation in the area, being unfair to new players and unsafe for women to play. The judges have also made fun of the community calling them "autistics". I strongly believe that they should not be in good standings with the Pokemon Play Community and should not be a sanctioned store.

This gaming store is located on Main Street in downtown East Stroudsberg. With Spider-Man and a…read moresmiling Pikachu beckoning from the main window display, it's hard not to walk in and check it out. Inside the store, the first area to greet you is board games, with options for different game styles and interests available. Pretty ok selection for reasonable prices. Towards the middle of the store is the cash register area on the right with collectors' "weapons" displays overhead for safe keeping and display. To the left is a section with American DC/Marvel comics and a small shelf of manga. Further back is a smaller, more specific modeling and other comic related section, followed by open tables in the back for Magic and other card games. Terrific idea to incorporate tables for player interaction and provide a space for gamers to enjoy games in person. In the very back is an e-sports area with consoles and computers set up. When I visited, these weren't in use, but good idea for non-covid times. I also noticed signs posted up for special game nights on certain days a week, for example one sign listed a Pokémon weekly game night. Covid-related: staff wore masks as did most of the patrons. There is a sign on the door requesting customers to wear face coverings. There did not seem to be a limit on # of people in the store, and when I was there on a Saturday early afternoon there was probably around 10 people in the front section of the store and about a dozen seated in the game-play area in the back.

I have been stopping at a board game shop in every town I have been visiting. This was the best one…read morenear Parsippany, NJ we were visiting for a convention. This was in Booton, NJ, on the way back to Syracuse, NY. The shop was a large room with tables for open gaming and tournaments, and the walls were lined with merchandise for sale--ranging from board games to trading cards. There was plenty of light, and the people playing Magic towards the back were very friendly and welcoming. The gentleman behind the counter was very nice! The coolest part is you can ask for the secret password, based on a quest posted outside the space down the road a little bit, and you can get into the Gaming Lounge addition. When you go in to the Gaming Lounge, it feels like you're stepping into some kind of hobbit hole, and the further back you go, the more space there is to play games with friends. There is even a fireplace! The space is super cozy and features a huge wall of games to play with friends. If I lived anywhere near by, I would go to this shop all the time! The cards they sold were even reasonably priced, so I also love that.

I felt welcomed, the place is clean, and for a Saturday afternoon during COVID, the place was…read morehopping! But I've definitely seen places with a bigger selection and more game knowledge. The shopkeeper listened intently while I told him what kind of gaming experience I was looking for. But it didn't go a lot farther than that. I wanted something narratively heavy, with less rule complexity and overhead than Lord of the Rings: Journeying through Middle Earth. He didn't really have an answer for me, and I felt I gave him a lot to work off of. To give you an idea how small this place is - the pictures in this review represent half the games in the store. There's one extra bookshelf that I didn't catch and there's a display case in front with CCG cards. Shopping experience aside, you can tell this place has a good community. There were four tables occupied in the back around 4 PM on a Saturday - maybe representing 10 people - and there's a big communal shelf you can draw from if you want to play in house. I'd come back to play and make new friends.

A very cool comic shop with a lot to offer for comic fans…read more With their ever-present Halloween decor and surprisingly organized interiors, Gotham Comics is not your run of the mill comic shop. From new issues to back log, everything has a neat and tidy place, making browsing quick and effortless. They place a variety of mid-level rare comics ranging in price from $15 to $40 near most of the comic shelves, which make for both excellent window shopping and dangerous impulse purchases. They have a nice selection of old and new comics, mostly from DC and Marvel, so Gotham might not be great if you're looking for more obscure or niche comic brands. Similarly, this is a comic shop first, and things like games have a small presence. I also have to mention the staff working at Gotham. The employee was super helpful, going above and beyond in looking for issues that I couldn't immediately find. He made my visit feel extra special. The only downside with this comic shop is that it isn't located closer to my home! Otherwise I'd go there every week!

Quaint little comic book shop that totally gives off the "local comic shop" vibe from the 90's…read more Take it for what it is, and don't expect it to have everything you're looking for. But if you're looking for mainstream new releases, chances are you'll find them on release day (maybe the week after too). Not too much else to look at, especially collectibles, so your visit will probably be a whole lot shorter than other comic book shops (which is better for your wallet). But if you're in the area and you're in a pinch for that new Batman comic, this is your place. It was a hot day when I visited and they just had a couple floor fans running. Nothing gets me out of a comic book shop faster than sweaty hands on loose/unbagged books. And for parking, expect to circle around a couple times (plan to pay for a meter). But service is super friendly and they take card. And like I said, for what it is/does it's still a 5 star place

We have yet to find a store in Northern Jersey to satisfy our tabletop board game needs. By…read moretabletop board games I mean things like pandemic, everdell, wingspan and arc nova, not monopoly, clue and sorry. This place has a decent selection of board games, but the organization scheme is somewhat of a disaster. I think basically the games were vaguely in alphabetical order and then a tornado went through them. So if you have a particular game in mind, you might be able to find it by looking in the general area of the letter it begins with. But seriously very few people come to a board game store with a particular game in mind. A better (and more common) scheme would be by complexity - light vs medium vs heavy strategy, with coop games on a separate shelf. We asked the staff for recommendations, and the person who helped us was less than helpful. You could tell from his tone that he wanted us to leave. He pulled games arbitrarily off of the shelf without much explanation of why he even recommended them. All board games are at market price. I guess we will keep going into the city for our board games.
