I'm a first-time customer. I walk in with my yellow binder ive had since elementary school. My guy goes straight to giving me advice on how to probably upgrade it "these stick and ruin the cards". But that's not even a sale, he's just running numbers on the cards. Gives me a nice estimate. Then I ask for the binder upgrade and he gives me exactly what I need and how to use it. He gives a compliment to my collection and tells me to KEEP them. Get it? This place is NOT looking for a sale. Instead he's insisting to hold on, and get better value later. Finally I got a Mewtwo at a bargain based off his own negotiation. Nah. This is rare air. One of a kind imo. Go there.

I wouldn't have minded as much if they had any social media to speak of or a usable website where they could've announced it in advance, everybody's gotta keep the lights on but was pretty lame to find out after waiting in the cold. Was unfortunately a waste of time and I won't be back, had been excited to check out the space too :\ Update per response: in the post on their Facebook page which I did find after the fact they would not announce prices, instead they said "it will be above retail but lower than what we're seeing elsewhere" near the end of the post. I don't know where they're seeing higher prices that their own, they charged $125 per $49.99 retail etb and just scrolling through Facebook marketplace scalpers are selling them for less. $65 for the binder collection over double retail at $29.99.

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.
