    Large selection of back issues…read more Definitely bigger than I thought it would be Lots of collectibles

    I go to a lot of comic book shops and Comics-N-Stuff has the potential to be great, but just…read moredoesn't have the organization to get there. They have multiple locations and each one is packed with fun and interesting stuff. They have everything a comic fan would want. Comics, trades, shirts, figures, statues, etc. Problem is each store is just unorganized with memorabilia all over the place. It's hard to find things and stuff is out of order. There isn't a logical layout. The other thing that bugs me is pricing on stuff is just inconsistent or wrong. I understand marking things up for the person who might not be familiar, but you are only hurting your store in the process because like most retail shops people will just opt to buy it cheaper online(or find it for less at a different place in the mall). Also, there is dust everywhere. I'm sympathetic that they probably don't have the staff to keep everything tight and that the store can look disheveled due to all the foot traffic, but show that you care! They moved to a smaller location in the mall and the store does look better than it did, but the fact that Ninja Exchange is right next store and is wildly popular on the weekends should make Comics-N-Stuff take a long look in the mirror. They could be getting a lot of the Ninja Exchange people Monday-Thursday if they capitalized. Running a business, let alone a comic shop, is difficult in this day n age. I will stop in to try to support every now and then, but it is hard when you get the sense that the love isn't there.

    It's not just for comic books! There are so many fun activities--dungeons and dragons, Pokemon…read moretourneys, magic, etc. Folks are knowledgeable and inviting, not pretentious or gatekeep-y.

    Hubs found another "happy place" in SD County!…read more Knowhere G&C is located in an industrial area of San Marcos, near an antique mall, several home furnishings stores and next to San Marcos Deli. This seems an ideal location, with plenty of free parking and, judging by the flow of pedestrian traffic in and out of this shop on a "Comic Book Wednesday" many customers agree. Hubs declared a large selection of comics, games and collectibles. He proudly emerged over an hour after parking with a smile on his cute nerdy face and a bag filled with reading materials in his hand. He was very surprised and happy that his purchase amount ~$80TL awarded him with a cool graphic novel. Happiness shortly turned to a bit of confusion when he took a moment to peruse his receipt and discovered he had been charged about 4x the amount he should have been for a comic. He checked online to make sure he didn't grab a ltd edition, or special release, and determined he hadn't. I waited while he returned inside. About 10 minutes he reemerged - HAPPY AGAIN! Seems the clerk, Daniel (guessing from the receipt ), didn't catch it and agreed it had been incorrectly priced. He further apologized saying he usually catches the comics over $20 and confirms the customer is aware when they are purchasing a more expensive issue. So Daniel was sorry he missed that completely. Hubs confirmed that he was still ok receiving the free graphic novel and was assured, yes, his purchase amount still qualified for the free novel. The over charge was returned to Hubs and he was happy with the store, Daniel and his customer service. Knowhere G&C has been bookmarked for our future SD road trips. Cheers! "CC"

    As a young boy, 50+ years ago, LEGO bricks helped me to hone my creativity and wonder when I built…read morejets and planes. And today, I still have that wonder and creativity that attracts me to LEGO and its abundance of creativity for anyone young at heart. It is so much fun to build with LEGO bricks!!! The LEGO community has expanded exponentially with the help of Social Media and places like Bricks and Minifigs in Oceanside. Don't let the humble entrance deceive you because once you enter you will transported to a place full of wonder and amazement of LEGO. There's a great selection of LEGO products and so many mini figures. You can spend a lot of time here just looking and admiring the vast selections. Found LEGO keychains and was able to sign up for their rewards program. Look for them on Instagram. What will make me return again and again is the knowledge and experience of the staff with LEGO. They are aware of the LEGO community and have their thumb on the pulse of the community. I had a great conversation with Will, a manager at Bricks and Minifigs. I was impressed with his knowledge and understanding of how LEGO has evolved and impacted so many generations of people. He was very passionate about LEGO and I appreciate his warmth and friendly perspective. I look forward to receiving the emails about future events. I will return!!!

    Bricks and Minifigs offers extremely low prices when buying from customers, often far below what…read morethe sets are actually worth. Unless you're desperate for quick cash or don't know the value of your collection, it's hard to justify selling here. What makes it even more frustrating is that the same items they purchase for dirt-cheap prices are then resold at premium prices. Everyone understands a business needs to make a profit, but the gap between what they pay sellers and what they charge buyers feels excessive. If you're looking to sell LEGO sets, I would recommend checking online marketplaces or doing a little research on current values before bringing anything here.
