Actiontoyman is a special kind of place. I spent two months working one day a week in Erie and was…read morelucky enough to discover this store during that time. This store is absolutely stacked with vintage collectibles ranging from Gundam Wing, Star Wars, Transformers, Toy Story, WWE, Dragonball Z, Sports Collectibles, Batman, Superman, and everything in between. The ground level is full of classic toys and even features a full blown comic room in the back while downstairs is the "discount" section offering a ton of toys below $8. Upstairs had a full game room along with a ton of other collectible toys as well. Not only was it a blast coming to ActionToyMan but the staff was super friendly and willing to answer any questions that I had throughout my visit. Although my trips to Erie might be done, I will 100% be returning in the future to check this store out again. If you live even remotely close to Erie you owe it to yourself to come and check this place out, but hey, don't take my work for it, check out Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkin's visiting this store on YouTube.

My husband had 8 collectables at Action Toyman that hadn't sold in a long time. He decided to go…read morepick them up because they hadn't sold thus far and probably weren't in this pandemic economy. He called 3 weeks in a row to ask the owner to gather his unsold things. The first week the owner "wasn't there", the second week "he was out sick", and the third week my husband said he was coming to get his collectibles. Today he went to the store, the owner accused him of harassment, said my husband called his store "$hitty"(he did not), and then told him that he had already sold and paid my husband for his missing collectibles (he couldn't produce any proof that he had paid my husband for anything) Do not take your collectables here to sell. The guy is a liar. And I read through the other reviews and alot of people think he's rude too.

The only…read moredownside was that although some of the clothes are labeled 'one size fits all' they fit how a size large would fit. The west lake road location last year had wrong hours posted and I was unable to make it in to the store due to it being closed despite making multiple attempts to go at differing times/days where foot traffic should be at its peak. Hoping it's better this year but I would stick to the trusted peach street location if you're looking for a cool shopping experience.

Game Corps is sort of just an average gaming store, to be honest. That's not necessarily meant as a…read morebad thing, I just can't think of anything that really stands out about it to be able to place it above any other gaming store in the area. The service is usually nothing special tbh, not great nor terrible really, just sort of neutral ‍ They have a pretty decent MTG card selection and fair market pricing on singles, but their trade-in % is sorta pathetic in my opinion, and you likely get more money or store credits if you take your trade-ins to Gateway Games instead! ALSO Recently, my fiancé and I drove across town in a blizzard (took about 30 minutes or so, a good amount of the gas in our vehicle, and a lot of anxiety from the slick road conditions and snow showers) to trade-in some MTG cards for CASH because their website states something along the lines of, "We're ALWAYS purchasing trading cards for CASH or STORE CREDIT!" But we were told upon arriving that they did not actually pay out cash for cards any longer, meaning we wasted the entire trip out there as we needed actual cash money to get groceries and such...So hopefully they update their website soon!

They also had…read moredollar clearance, which is always great with small kids as they normally outgrow things before they are even worn out a little bit! Plus the fact they are pretty picky about what they take in - almost always assures you of getting great deals! Today we picked my grandson up a North Face winter coat for a FRACTION of the cost and after a quick exam - we found it to be new! A few baby outfits for the grandson who will be born soon and we were pretty impressed with our finds. The place was huge - still quite organized and most everything was priced very well - but those dollar items come on - it's like giving the stuff away!
