Over the years comic stores have come and gone but Al's is still alive and kicking. I used to buy old monster and sci fi model kits from them and while the selections are not like they were back in the early to mid and to some extent the late 90's..theres still a gem or 2 you can get if you come on the right day from that era...BUT lucky enough theres still some reissue kits (DARK SHADOWS, MONSTER SCENES) and superhero and star trek kits you can get on a regular basis. another great thing about the place no annoying magic the gathering or other game playing going on like at Grapevine on thorton rd

This place doesn't deserve a single star. We went in yesterday expecting a normal shopping…read moreexperience, but instead were met with one of the most disrespectful and unprofessional interactions I've had at any business. The person who seemed to be the owner was rude, arrogant, and clearly has no idea how to treat customers. Instead of being welcoming, he made the entire environment uncomfortable. There was even a family with kids in the store trying to enjoy themselves, and his behavior completely killed the vibe. It's honestly embarrassing to see someone run a business this way. After looking at other reviews, it's obvious this isn't a one-time thing--this seems to be a pattern. If this is how you treat people, don't be surprised when customers stop coming back. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place entirely. There are plenty of better shops out there that actually respect their customers.

I have been a customer of The Launchpad for roughly fifteen years. My first visit was when I was…read moreinterested in reading comics again, and I would purchase several titles. More recently, a friend has gotten me into Magic: The Gathering. Along with comics, The Launchpad sells a wonderful selection of Trading Card Games, and accessories, at great prices.

I walked in search of some old Star Wars sets. Before entering here I did notice is was a slow day…read moreand not busy. First thing is that I can confirm that they do not greet everyone that walks in the store as I was not greeted when I walked in , which to be honest does not mean much anyways in how welcoming is a store, but what is important is how they speak and treat you when you walk up to the front counter and ask the employee for some help in question I had in what I was looking for.i can confirm yes the employee at this time was rude, and if this is a family own, I can understand why they are rude because they don't get fired if they are family or friends of the store owners. So this place is just a shiii show and I understand why they are empty most times in the day. To the owner, if you don't like Lego, just go away and work at Walmart.
