Nerds rejoice and enjoy a visit to this great comic book / nerd shop! We have been here several times now and my husband has even joined their Collective Membership Club. They have a solid mix of every kind of nerd genre, including comics, anime, tabletop games, card games, accessories, and figurines. The staff here really brings it up another notch as well. They have kid comics and offer a new one to our little every time we go in. She loves that she gets a book too! They also have a solid knowledge of most items and that's saying a lot since there is SO much out there to know. They have a good loyalty program and good deals as well, so be sure to ask about details for a mail list and or membership offers. They also do tabletop game nights, so check out their event calendar. Overall: A+ Great nerd spot with tons to offer and great staff!!

Wonderful store! They have an amazing selection of new comics, funkos, Pokémon, Magic the Gathering, various board games, and Warhammer and similar games. They have several tables for game play, or just sitting down and reading your comics like I did. They also have a good selection of paints and paint supplies to get your figures all painted up. They even had a section for younger readers of comics and paperbacks. When I was there, there were four employees there, all friendly and willing to help with anything and answer questions. They didn't have as much manga and older comics as I would have liked, but definitely not a reason not to visit this store. I will definitely be back!

Great store to let your inner geek flag fly! They have everything you could think of. Comic books, Pop figurines, D&D stuff, dice, card collectibles, board games, paints to customize your gaming pieces, statues of your fave characters, etc. They also have a bunch of tables in the back that are set up for gaming. Their calendar of events is listed on their door and website. It is also streaming on a TV. Yelpers get a free comic with checkin. Definitely stop by for all your nerdy needs.

Clean, organized and well stocked. It is a place to bring the serious or new collector or gamer.

Kept trying to come here on Sunday- they're closed, but it kept being the only day I would have a…read morechance to go. FINALLY had a Saturday off, and I'm so sad I wasn't able to make it out here before now. I also brought a bag of books to sell. The processing for the books I brought took about 30 minutes (it was an IKEA bag FULL, I just needed to transfer to one of their bins). That gave me time to look around and see what they might have. Not all of my books were accepted, which was fine, because the reason this place is so big and yet does such good business is that the books are well currated to ensure that they are desirable. Older books, or less desirable are kept down to one copy, whereas more popular books may have three or four of the same book, but the book is popular enough that it will be sold. Value wise, the rare, signed, and first editions area is VERY reasonably priced. Value for books brought in is given as either cash (I was given a lesser amount this way) or store credit I walked out with a few of the sequels of book series I have the first and maybe second of, but this way I could complete the series for less. I also found a few books on my TBR that were available. Books are indeed at used book prices, not hugely marked up, so overall I considered the visit a huge win. Overall, I guess my complaint is only that this is the only location, and I wish there was a sister store more toward central or even the west side of Orlando.

Great selection of books, dvds, mixed media, organized really well. They have so much product,…read moretheir shelves flow into stacks of books on the floor. They put care into their displays and what figurines or other trinkets are placed with which books. Their prices aren't as cheap as books when you thrift, but the effort that goes into curating and organizing a collection this big - almost makes it worth the retail prices on some of these books. I also noticed they had some Disney tsum tsum? Figurines that must be slight after and collectible because the retail was 5.95 and the written price for the store was $10.

Wow, this store has a LOT of books, almost too many. There are so many that they have overflowed to…read morethe floor in some areas taking up part of the walkway. They also have a lot of CDs, VCR tapes, magazines, and many more items I was unable to explore on this visit. We were on our way to a concert and I had about 30 minutes to look for a few music books, which I found with the staff's help. I have to say that the staff were great and knew exactly where they kept the music books, good job! It's good to know this store has a variety of music books to choose from and for the most part they are organized well, except the ones on the floor. You just have to dig a little. I chose two Faber level III piano books and a Bastien level III piano technique book. The Bastien book was only $2 but it has a lot of notes from previous students. The two Faber books were $6 each and virtually untouched, excellent! Some of the books are on the pricey side, especially some of these old music books, they are asking $20 when the covers are missing and music score is illegible. I just don't see myself spending that much when I can put that $20 towards a brand new book series or Henle Album of exceptional quality. Regardless, I want to support local, and have been very happy with my purchase. I will return again to see what I missed on my previous visit. If you love book stores, this is a good one and definitely worth the stop.
