The Owner of the store ignored us when we entered and when we asked about where to find the book we…read morecame for he was not helpful. The organization of the store is horrible too with some comics being inaccessible due to shelf stacking. Also the owner made weird comments to his friend that made us uncomfortable enough to just leave without getting anything. Overall Id rather drive 35 minutes to a better store than this one.

Met the owner Glen today. Super cool guy. Very knowledgeable and prices were great. Highly recommendread more

My daughter ran across this shop in a neighborhood post and alerted me that they carry comics., so…read moreI had to check it out. It is in the center of a small strip of shops on a side street. So you need to watch for it. Wow! When the owners call it a Toy Emporium, that's a real understatement! There are so many items placed in side rooms and all over the place, I have not seen this volume except in large dealers at the Tampa Comic & Toy Con! And these are not "toys" so much as Collectibles. Their stock includes classic car models, Hot Wheels, miniature figurines, super heroes, trucks, games and lots more. All the rooms and displays have themes. Imagine a whole room filled with nothing but Hot Wheels collectibles, old and new. It feels a little claustrophobic with so many displays in small rooms. They do have comics but not in the normal sense. There are more than 20 long boxes of comics, each can hold up to 150 comics. These are all for $1.00 each, or you can buy an entire box for $60, and you pick the comics. I admit I did eventually walk out with a long box of comics. These are basically to donate to several charities such as Comics For Kids, for kids in hospitals and treatment centers. Also Comics For Military for traveling military members in USO locations. A great place to check out if you have any interest in Collectibles.

As a collector who's always on the hunt for nostalgic treasures, Retro Rat in Largo is a goldmine…read morethat delivers pure joy with every visit. This shop is a haven for vintage toys, comics, and video games, offering a massive selection that spans decades and a vibe that feels like stepping into a time capsule. With its incredible inventory, passionate staff, and the option to pop in for a single find during the day, Retro Rat earns a well-deserved five stars. Walking into Retro Rat is like diving into a childhood dream. The shelves are packed with vintage action figures, from '80s Transformers to GI Joe and Star Wars classics, alongside newer collectibles like Funko Pops. The comic section is just as impressive, with everything from Silver Age Superman to modern indie titles, neatly organized for easy browsing. Their video game selection is a standout--retro cartridges for NES and Sega sit alongside PlayStation and Xbox gems, perfect for gamers looking to relive the past. The store even stocks trading cards, vintage tees, and board games, making it a one-stop shop for any pop culture fan. Retro Rat's community vibe sets it apart. They host events like trading card tournaments and retro gaming nights, creating a space where fans connect and share their passions. I don't make it to many of the events since I live across the bridge but The shop's clean and well-organized, with treasures displayed to spark excitement without overwhelming. Prices are fair--vintage figures range from $20 to $200 depending on rarity, comics are competitively priced, and games are often below market value for their condition. It's not a discount bin, but you're paying for quality and curation, and it's worth every penny for the gems you'll find. This place is more than a store; it's a nostalgic adventure. Whether I'm grabbing a single NES cartridge, flipping through X-Men comics, or eyeing a vintage toy to complete my set, Retro Rat delivers. The staff's dedication and the shop's vibrant energy make every visit feel like a hunt for buried treasure. For its unmatched selection, top-tier service, and role as a collector's paradise, Retro Rat gets five stars. It's a must-visit for anyone in Largo who loves toys, comics, or games, and I'll keep coming back for my next big score.

Big store with tons of selections…read more I was nervous from pictures that this would be all comic books. I was a little relieved when we pulled up and there was a sign that included toys. We were here on a very specific mission, one son was looking for ghostbusters toys and the other was looking for pokemon cards. One of the employees told us that they get the most calls from people looking for pokemon cards. So I don't bury the lead, they don't have just packs of pokemon cards, but they do have a set that includes multiple packs for $60. We ended up getting that for my older son and I've been giving him a pack every couple of days. I was little nervous about our mission to find ghostbuster stuff. There were tons of star wars stuff and a lot of funko figurines. We did find ghostbuster funko figures, but that wasn't really what we were looking for. Eventually after walking around a bit, we did find three small ghostbuster items. I think they're meant to be kept on a desk, but my son has been playing with them like they're toys. I haven't seen ghostbusters so I'm not going to describe this well, but they are items to track and then trap ghosts. He was ecstatic that we found them, so mission accomplished. If you're looking for comic books then this is heaven. If you're looking for specific toys, it may be hit or miss, but for us it was a hit. This is definitely a place worth checking out.

Of course, they are moving to the mall across the street, but this shop is so cool, you'll want to track it down. The owner is super cool; he made me a sweet deal on an Amazing Spider-Man 121--I've been want to add the Gwen Stacy Death story to my collection for some time. Oh, and the owner also let me go in the back to hunt down a few Golden Age comics. And finally, the Thing is my favorite superhero, so the name Yancy Street just strikes home for me. When it comes to scoring sweet comic books, Yancy Street Comics brings the "Clobberin Time."
