Being nerds and collectors…read moreourselves, its nice to see things outside conventions and local that we can stop by and check out. First, its a little confusing where this is. It's located INSIDE of State Theater Vintage Emporium, which is an adventure in itself. Walk in the doors, go up the stairs and its the first "big" fixture/box shop on the left. They carried everything and anything anime and Japanese from plush, figures, cards/card games to even straight from Japan video games and trinkets for Ita Bags. They even had some Pocky, Ramune and other Japanese snacks for purchase. I think we saw the owner restocking as we perused and he was very personable mentioning he could answer any questions we had. Prices were in line/if not better than ones I see at conventions and online. Overall a great place to stop if you're in the market for current or vintage Japanese goods.

Didn't buy anything. Prices are over the already inflated market. Maybe we just went on a bad day…read more Nice setup inside the old theater. Prices are scalper plus some. That's not necessary in today's world.

Husband has recently gotten into building Gunplas (Japanese model robots, similar to transformers)…read moreand was looking for hobby shops that carry models and tools to customize them. After a quick search we found Kranzels. Located a few blocks from the West Shore Farmers market, they carry a large and wide scale of RC cars, models, Boats, Air Planes and an impressive amount of Gunplas. The Gunplas were a little hard to find but go to the back counter and turn around, there's a HUGE shelf of them to choose from, all grades available. We talked to one of the employees and he informed us of what all models they stocked, when they got the perfect grades in (the highest quality models) and all the paints/gloss/varnishes they stock. They have a loyalty program so for every $100 you spend, you get $5 back. Nice esp if you're a regular you can get a nice little discount. We'll be checking back in a bit to see what new stock is in and when he needs to restock his supplies.

The store is always well stocked with decently priced product, and has a vending machine + snacks avaliable. The staff are fine, but my main issue this place comes more from the regular customers and lack of regulations or expectations around behavior in the store. I've been to several prereleases here and I dont think I'll be back after multiple times men (sometimes with their kids present) Kept making sexist or straight up comments on my body or being female in a gamimg space. There is also a HEAVY issue with body odor here. This is not entirely the staffs fault, but I couldnt find staff members available to talk with about this issue, and was waved away when I did find one due to them being overwhelmed. Increasing staff numbers especially during high demand events would fix this. This is a great store, but I fear it is suffering from success in the numbers.

They have an…read moreimpressive amount of dice, miniatures, cards, and family friendly board games if you're just browsing. You can enter on the left side which is the retail store and if you go to the right by the cashiers they have a whole area set up for games with snacks and drinks. We picked up some D&D Supplies and my husband reminisced about his Magic days with the cashier. Both men at the registers were very nice and asked what games we were into and made recommendations on other mech we might like. Their selection is pretty vast and seems on par price wise with other stores in the area and online. They also had an area you could play test games and we saw people and families of all ages enjoying shopping and testing the games on display. The new store on Wesley Drive is HUGE. It might be a little hard to find but its located on the right corner of the plaza with the Peppermill restaurant, to the side/back of McDonalds. Parking can get a bit nutty and limited on weekends so just keep that in mind.

Most importantly, they're honest and keep prices realistic. It's clear that their goal is to keep the hobby alive! I've purchased several locomotives and about a dozen rolling stock. Everything purchased online from their website is exactly as advertised. Additionally, they helped hunt down some things I specifically was in search of. Each item was wrapped and packed individually to ensure it arrived safely with speedy shipping. I guess I'm just flabbergasted and not used to doing business with such fantastic people. Check out their website and YouTube channel.. you won't be disappointed. From what I understand their store front is open again as well. I'll be making the 3 hour trek up there to check it out soon..

One thing to note, Jake's is not a new pull comic shop, but makes up for it with an excellent cheap longbox selection in the front of the store. Carries some graphic novels. Has a significant stock of TCG/CCG games that are kept behind the counter. Shop seems to specialize in Magic The Gathering with significant backstock. The decent stock of board games and HeroClix are located mid store. In the back is a LARGE area for gaming with several tables along with several customized environment tables. Model Supplies are also kept in this area along with several assembled models on display. Shop carries a significant stock of card protectors and collectors supplies. They also stock a good amount of sports cards and memorabilia including Penn State merchandise. Autographed merchandise was kept behind the counter at the register. Various sports cards were available at both full price and discount including full boxes, along with older NASCAR collectables, and other random merchandise. Collectables are all over the shop. Excellent staff who were very pleasant to talk with and knowledgeable about the area and other comic/sci-fi conventions we could look into. Shop is much like an old school card shop, so it's not the most modem place in the word. Parking is on the street so be prepared to circle the block. State Colleges best comic shop is in Bellefonte, possibly the biggest surprise of the visit.
