I live in Orlando but come to Jacksonville every couple of months to visit my sister and nieces. My…read morebrother-in-law is big into RC cars and has a talent for pushing them to their limits--and breaking them in the process. During one of my visits, I offered to help with repairs and ended up finding this shop. From day one, the staff has been incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. What stands out most is that they never make you feel inexperienced for asking questions. Instead, they take the time to explain how things work, walk you through repairs, and teach you in a way that's easy to understand and encouraging. On my latest visit, I purchased another RC car (which I'm sure my brother-in-law will eventually destroy), along with a new battery. Andy went above and beyond--he found a Traxxas sale and made sure I got the discounted price, helped me figure out a better repair approach, coached me through the process, and even lent me tools and some thread locker to get the job done right. Customer service like that is rare these days. Andy is a stand-up guy, and the entire team has earned my trust and business. This is absolutely a shop I'll continue coming back to every time I'm in Jacksonville

Just a handful of spots to park- every time I have pulled into this shopping center I am always surprised how many cars are in here! There is an Autozone adjacent- but truly the stores in this little shopping center hold their own. Be careful pulling in- anyone parked center is in the direct line of incoming traffic if they are backing out. I also prefer to park away from that entrance for the same reason. Enjoy the handful of shops!

I have only been in twice and on both visits they took their time to break everything down and explain it for me and my partner. They have fair prices and accept trades for about 70 to 80% of market value. They have a huge selection of Pokémon, sports, Magic, Lorcana & more! They also have a spot next door where they host tournaments. I 100% recommend checking out this card shop if you're on the west side!

We planned to be in Mandarin over the weekend so I suggested be stop in at Mythical Mountain while…read morewe were out that way. If you love comics and pop culture in general, you really need to stop by this store. We try to stop in whenever we're over in Mandarin. While I've never been big into comic books, I've always loved pop culture collectibles. I know they can't carry everything in store but every time we're in there I'm amazed by how much they do have on hand. Sure, there are huge online stores that you can order tons of things from but like always, I'd rather support a local Jacksonville business if at all possible. Especially if it's a place I've received great customer service from before and that's the case with Mythical Mountain. We've called ahead before when we were looking for gifts and had them remember the call hours later when we got to the store and helped us find the perfect gift. I took a few pics to share but I still don't think it gives you a good idea of how much stuff they have in the store. I didn't find anything I wanted to pick up today but my wife found a Mick Foley action figure that she bought for herself, so that's a win for America. If you needed any further proof of the level of customer service and care they provide, you don't really need to look further than the most recent post I made about them in the the Jacksonville Fun, Eats & Drinks Facebook group. I posted a recap of our most recent visit in the group and mentioned the part you just read about how I didn't find anything then I mentioned that I need to call them some time to see if they can get their hands on one of the Michael Jackson figures made by Blitzway because they seem like the type of store that might be able to get that type of thing. Then I went on to say that even if they can't get it, I'd still rather try if I can go through a local place first before somewhere online. Within minutes, the store owner left a comment asking me to send her a DM with information on what I'm looking for to see if she can help. See what I mean? You can't get that kind of customer service from any online store, no matter how big and bad they are... If you like stuff like this, stop in at Mythical Mountain in Mandarin some time. Even if collectables or comics aren't your thing, I bet you could find a gift for someone you know at this store with ease. As I mentioned, a version of this post originally appeared in the Jacksonville Fun, Eats & Drinks Facebook group.
