You can tell when an owner genuinely loves the books and records they carry. The Bruised Apple is one of those stores. Worth stopping in if you want to get lost for a few hours.

What a lovely bookstore! We came across this hidden gem that has been here for more than 30 years…read more We parked our car right outside and saw the inviting window and warm lights of this cozy bookstore. The instrumental music was playing, the owner was very kind and welcoming. The customers were browsing and it was the most relaxing environment with so many wonderful resources. We will certainly be back! Thank you and Happy New Year!

True Believers is one of those stores that will literally stop you in your tracks while walking…read morethrough the Palisades Mall. Out front, they have life-size figures of both classic and modern characters from movies and games -- and the contrast is wild. E.T. is standing right next to Art the Clown, which pretty much tells you what kind of place this is. You'll definitely want to take pictures. Inside the store, there's a huge assortment of games, toys, plush, collectibles, and pop-culture items packed into every corner. You'll find everything from modern fandom pieces to classic toys from the '80s, which adds to the fun of browsing. Some of the more common items can feel a bit overpriced, but it's also clear that some of what they sell is harder to find, so pricing likely reflects rarity on certain pieces. It's the kind of store where you're as much there to look around as you are to buy something. I ended up walking out with a cute Wolfman plush, so mission accomplished. Definitely a fun stop if you're into collectibles, nostalgia, or just want to see something different while at the mall.

Nice store. There a…read morelot of assorted selection of displayable items, shirts, figures, plushies, and other stuff - certainly enough to appease most. If Funkos are your thing, there's a very large selection of them here and the largest overall selection in the entire mall. Any staff I encountered were friendly. Located on the 3rd floor of the Palisades mall. Worth checking out if you're in the area.

My wife and I just visited this store because it is free comic book day and we work with a…read morenon-profit that sends comics into prisons to enhance literacy. The store was empty and as we walked toward the back, there was a gentleman sitting in a small office. He grunted at us when we greeted him. When we told him we were there to see about some free comic books he said those were just for kids. When we told him why we were there - seeking donations for Comic Books for Justice, he grunted again. Whether he would like to donate or not, or agrees with our mission or not, it was the rudest customer service I have experienced in a long time. Had he shown even the smallest inkling of kindness, my wife and I would have shopped the store and likely made some decent purchases. In any event, be warned. This is not a nice guy and not a very nice place.

Awesome comics. Weeklies. Pull lists. Add any comic to your pull list and they'll get it for you…read more 15% discount on pull list comics. Amazing exclusives; the best in the business! They have some older slabbed keys, a small graphic novel section, selection of back issues, weekly incentive variants, some SideShow statues, an entire wall of Funko Pop! figures. This is not your average local comic shop. They have artists signings, you have to call and find out when. They have a partnership with Jonathan Uribe; Steve is a CGC SS liscenced witness for Jonathan Uribe so you can get the yellow label. As for their exclusives: They produce dozens of store exclusive variant covers from the most talented artists in the business like Jonathan Uribe. Some of their covers are on Covrprice.com. Their hottest exclusives are Pokémon covers called Pocket Monsters. You can buy their exclusives at comic conventions like NYCC Con and SDCC or on their website. They sell out fast! Jonathan Uribe draws many beautiful Spawn exclusives for them. Insane Gunslinger Uribe exclusive, metal has a print run of 10! And Absolute Batman exclusives! The owner Steve relaxed, cool and welcoming. Dan is also very friendly. Thanks my LCBS, Collector's Cave! In my life as I've moved I've had many LBCS. Collector's Cave is the best one I've ever had.

The store is stocked with pops and toys and things that you can't find in other places. What I love the most is you can look at there stuff and they don't tell you not to touch anything. If they don't have what you looking for they will order it for you and tell you the truth if they can get it or not, they will also tell let you know it may take some time for it to come in and once they get it they let you know I'm on there comic list for the new comics that come out every week so I know I'm going to get my comics I'm happy to support this small business and I recommend it to everyone that's looking for old games and new pops and comics

I work in Armonk and chose to stop in a little over 2 years ago just to kill some time on my lunch break.
