I went two Wednesdays ago on April 29th, was hoping to play Pkmn TCG but I was visiting and wanted…read moreto do other things around the city. I was informed the tourney would likely go until 9pm. They host both the card game and the switch/video game challenges. I did have a card to trade and the breakdown of the process was the most thorough I've seen yet and I wanted store credit as you get 80% vs 70% if you got cash only. Anywho, the wait to be called did take longer than I'd like but given it was busy and my decision on what to use for store credit took awhile, I wouldn't deduct anything. Avery (sp?) was the main person who helped me and she was very patient. I also bought some playable cards (they have a stash of organized cards in bins near their staff-only area which other employees helped me out with. All-in-all, very spacious and well organized! They have one exclusively for double rares/ex cards, ultra rares/full arts, ace specs, etc. They even have a box for people to drop off ETB boxes in for people to claim for free if they want to take home. I also noticed some instant ramen station which they utilized for food in the store. They have some nice wall art too that was handprints as well. Would revisit if I'm ever back in Seattle, WA!

UPDATE: I went back a few days later and my experience was much better. They actually added a…read moredecent amount of new cards and the varieties were much better. The staff was also friendlier and helpful. If you're looking for Pokémon cards, this is definitely not the best place to look for them. They had a bunch of single cards displayed and it looks pretty randomized. Not a good variety and honestly looks disorganized. They at least have a decent amount of sealed products, but everything was above market price. The staff wasn't friendly, nor were they interactive. The place wasn't that organized. There's a decent amount of table with you want to play card games with your friends.

We're a huge fan of puzzles and were so amazed by their selection! I love The New York Puzzle Company and they were STOCKED. They have so many great ones and they all range in number of pieces.

There's a lot of places that are either gatekeep-y or just Dude Central and this place is clearly open to all and very positive. You even get bonus comics, too. I'm unsure of why anyone would give it less than 4 stars...though those reviews tend to be from more entitled individuals. This place has great prices, too. Gotta say, this place reminds me of an old store from almost 2 decades ago that used to be my fave; the vibe is great.

There's a section of about 20 long boxes of loose comics you might find a gem in, BUT as they are not already priced, they'll look them up and charge full CMV for them. Employees and owner don't seem to do anything but greet and check out. Bag and board and price those books, people. Good selection of Silver and Bronze age keys behind the counter. Nothing that has made me pull the trigger yet.

Calico Toy Shoppe is a prominent toy store on Winslow Way, the cute walkable main street of…read moreBainbridge Island's downtown. We managed to hurry past it on the way to lunch, but I knew there was no way we were getting back to the ferry without going inside. Not with a two-year-old, a five-year-old, and my mother in our crew. To our kids' credit, I wanted to get them a souvenir, or at least allow their grandma to buy them something small with my supervision (she can't be trusted on her own). The store was colorful and appealing, and I couldn't deny my boys the pleasure of a quick, moderate visit. Calico was well stocked with toys and games, and my two-year-old immediately went for a giant cement mixer set that would board the ferry out over my dead body. I told the kids and my mom that they could buy one toy each, and that it would have to be something we could easily take home. There was a large selection of stuffies at the front of the shop, and I strongly encouraged them to find something in that area. Our older son obligingly picked an adorable baby turtle, but his brother refused every little stuffie I offered. Instead, he found a cheap disposable pinwheel that cost $3.99. He's been obsessed with fans for about half of his life and apparently, the pinwheel counted. My brother and sister-in-law got a couple baby toys for their babies and we went on our way, all the kids happy with their loot. We've been home for over a week and the baby turtle, now named Baby Turtle, has a place of honor in our five-year-old's bed. The pinwheel pops up in random spots in our house, sometimes waved with aggression in front of our faces. I liked Calico Toy Shoppe and would definitely shop there if I lived on Bainbridge Island. I'd recommend stopping in if you're visiting with kids. It's a great place to pick up a little souvenir.

Luckily, I believe the owner or an employee made a video of how to get to the entrance. Once we found out where to park and immediately followed the path in the video, we were able to find this store. As we entered, we were greeted by an employee and saw a few players playing 40K as they had four tables for that. The store was a lot bigger than I thought and they had plenty of different products for everyone. They even had some prints and stickers from a local tattoo artist which was neat. They had their schedule in the bag on a huge whiteboard. Plenty of tables and chairs in the back next to their bulk section. My boyfriend bought a pack from them as he loves supporting small, local businesses and the prices here are fair. The store is dog friendly as I asked the employee who greeted us and then a customer walked with their super cute dog.

This is a pretty okay shop. It kind of falls in line with every other game/card shop, but i think…read moretheir Pokémon supply is rather a bit low. There's a little white storage box on the counter that may or may not have Pokémon cards in them. You won't likely find anything in there. They also have a binder with some cards, but it's also a hit or miss. Other than that, the booster bundles are the same high prices you see everywhere else. The employees kind of keep to themselves. Not much interaction, but I'm not terribly bothered by it.
