We were especially thankful to attend the recent NeeDoh drop! Unfortunately, there was an uncomfortable situation outside in the parking lot involving an older woman approaching customers to purchase their newly purchased NeeDohs and taking pictures of people waiting in line without permission. This was not related to the shop itself, but I wanted to mention it so others attending future squishy drops can be aware. Overall, we highly recommend Wonder Emporium and always enjoy supporting this wonderful local shop!

I'm sorry that some of you had a bad experience, but ours was great, especially considering we arrived only 20 minutes before closing, when most business owners are ready to head home. Oh, and let me add that I'm Mexican and gay, so as far as being racist or discriminating goes... FAR FROM IT!! I did correct my Goddaughter for grabbing something from the display window--not okay! Plus, she's 12 and should know better, period. The owners were very kind in gently explaining why it wasn't okay, and I appreciated that because their house, their rules! Kids need to understand that when you walk into someone's place of business--or even their home--you should be respectful and ask for permission or assistance before touching things. Again, thank you both for all the great recommendations and for being so kind about my pup, who was on a leash and wearing a diaper to ensure there were zero accident possibilities. Our pup loved you guys! She's usually a little shy at first, but she walked right up to both of you. Dogs know. We'll definitely be back to check out some of the games you have when we have more time to browse. Like I said, we came right before closing, and even though it's a business, everyone wants to go home after work, and we respected that. No attitude, no pressure--just two kind business owners doing what they love.

Inside is a little chaotic and claustrophobic but that kind of adds to the experience. Staff members seemed friendly and helpful, based on how they were interacting with other customers. I would come back during the Holidays or when I need to find unique gifts for friends. This place has some funky flavored sodas like peanut butter & jelly, and bacon.

Oh yeah, they had some extra goodies from celebrating a birthday and sent us home with some cookies and treats. Totally unplanned and stumbled on this local gem and we are so happy we did.

This is not a legitimate business, I do not know how the actual store is, but they are not legitimate online do not order from them. They will steal from you. The owner replied that it was automatically canceled because of fraud when everything else that I bought today went through without a problem. I'm sitting on a well over 20 K in that account, and when I tried to call the business, there is nobody to speak to it goes to a voicemail telling you to contact their email. So if this guy really cared about a sale, he would be contacting me right now trying to make things right and get me to buy the product because I actually did need it for a gift and it's going to be hard to source elsewhere. I'm sorry even the reply here is just absolutely pathetic.

Who was super kind and definitely has a love for the people who come and the collectors community! Everyone there was super nice and welcoming with good prices! The absolute highlight of my day was trading with David, who has a booth toward the left end of the entrance. He's such a sweet and genuine gentleman! I had the pleasure of trading Dodger bobbleheads with him! If you're into sports, retro games, or unique collectibles, this is definitely an intimate place to check out.

That place felt massive. This location does feel a little smaller, but it's still massive. Plenty of vendors and variety, some shady vendors that will overcharge too much or just be plain rude, but overall it's a great experience as you will find very niche and interesting/weird stuff. You will also find vendors selling things for great prices. Make sure to bring cash and most vendors will give you a discount. The only downside is even with the ridiculously large parking area, it STILL fills up every single day. It's literally always busy, so prepare to walk a lot. Always fun to visit every once in a while.

I also purchased a Green Lantern power battery replica for a very fair price, below the current market value by a fair amount.

The employees were all friendly, and knowledgeable, and in something I like seeing in shops like this, seemed to lean on each other to compensate for questions they didn't have answers to. I could spend hours here digging through the bins before ever even shopping the toys.

I collect mostly Transformers figures/comics and it's kinda hard for me to find a shop that gives me a little bit of everything about my favorite franchise. But a while back they had a HUGE selection of IDW Transformers back issues. I went crazy and got a bunch of them whenever I stopped by to pick up the current Skybound run. All the staff is super nice and genuinely super kind! I've had no bad experiences here and they're all super knowledgeable about the things I'm interested in buying. They also provide really good suggestions for me which is great. Overall a great comic book store and nice figure options!
