    Messy with numerous unmarked boxes of random comics;who wants to deal with that? Good assortment of trading cards and collectibles,however.

    Don't try to shift the blame to me. I was never delinquent picking up my pull list other then when…read moreI decided to stop patronizing your store. "Constantly asked for exceptions to store policies" is a load of crap and you know it. Don't lie, Dan. I was never anything but a loyal customer. If you want to air out grievances here on this public forum, I can gladly do so. Why don't you talk about how miserable you are and how it reflects in your customer service? A few other reviewers seem to have the same thoughts about that. When someone walks in the door it's a toss up if you'll get Harvey or Two-Face. Most of the time it's the latter. Or should we discuss how you put RFK Jr. campaign flyers in your customers' bags and then badger them about his policies? Or how a simple question about moving turns into a political debate with you? How about how you allow a gaggle of idiots to stand around your store cursing while children are present as you laugh along? And the only reason you stopped was because your wife said something to you? Would you like me to continue?

    The best comic store around. There is a reason Boom Tube has won CT Insides Best Comic Book store…read morefor three years running and best Toy store this year. Lots of books, new and old, with a great wall book selection. Friendly environment, and welcoming atmosphere. Have met many people I consider good friends here, including the store owner Dan. Dan always runs a fair business, discourages scalpers by not allowing single people to buy out hot merchandise, and always sells at MSRP on release while other shops are charging eBay prices.

    Never know what you will find. I highly suggest people read all the expiration dates on their food…read more Other than that the prices are very good especially for the clothing. They typically have bedding sets for under $50 but you have to find your bed size (Queen seems to be hard to find). The appliances are normally name brand and great price, I recommend you review their return policy on electronics and thoroughly test things out. Staff is generally nice. FYI: For parents this is also a hidden gem for the popular dumplings and squishy cubes.

    "I'd gladly lose me to find you I'd gladly give up what I…read moregot To catch you, I'm gonna run and never stop I call that a bargain The best I ever had" (The Who) Man, oh man, do we love the bargains at Ollie's. This was our first visit to Newington's Ollie's, and we scored a fantastic deal. I am the Committee Chair for a convention next month, and one of the participation activities for the conventioneers will be assembling kits to donate to a Boston charity for children in need. We are set on the school supply side, but we are still a little short on the socks and underwear side for 50 boys and girls. So, when I saw a "15% off" email from Ollie's, it seemed like a divine sign to make a pilgrimage to the new Ollie's in Newington. And guess what we found? How about 5-packs of boy's underwear marked down to $2.99? BEFORE our 15% discount. Thank you, Lord Ollie. Ollie's was stocked to the gills and very neatly shelved. We bought this eclectic mix of goods: a big bag of Dot's pretzels, five boxes of K Cup coffees, a bottle of shampoo, a jar of pickled zucchini, a jar of salsa, and 20 of the aforementioned underwear 5-packs for just a shocking $88. Ollie's is a fun store to browse around in, and today we made out like bandits.
