They're always doing…read moresomething -- it's not just a store, it's an actual community hub for collectors, gamers, and fans. They host a wide range of events like cosplay nights, tabletop and card tournaments, and other themed gatherings that keep the place feeling lively and fun. There's always energy in the room, and plenty of vendors and merchandise to browse, no matter what you're into -- cards, collectibles, figures, games, you name it. My only real critique is the space. When it's busy (which it often is during events), it can feel a little cramped. A bigger venue would take this place to the next level. That said, the atmosphere, the variety of vendors, and the consistency of their events more than make up for it. If you're into collectibles, gaming culture, or just want something different to do locally, this place is worth checking out.

If I could do lower stars, I would. First of all, I went for…read morea retro game event that promised retro game vendors, that was an absolute lie. There were 3 booths with older game consoles and games for sale; the rest of the booths had Pokémon cards. Should've labeled the event as Poke cards with a side of random games. Second of all, booth size and closure. Half of the booths were closed. I went on Saturday at 1 pm. The size of the vendors' booths is terrible, so the moment a group of two enters the booth, you won't see a dang thing that you actually want to look at. The exit and entrance are also the same route, so most booths have a terrible bottleneck if you are walking into them. Third, the odor. They had TVs set up for people to play against one another and also play some single-player games. Some of the individuals crowding this area were the most foul-smelling to graze this earth. You would think the last time they showered was when it rained. I can't get mad at the business for this cause it's their clientele, but it did not help the terrible experience in any fashion.

They had what I was looking for- new Ironjawz units. I was excited to see the new Maw-grunta and…read morethe Ironjawz Ardboys. I wasn't impressed with the salesman. I was trying to create some conversation about the game and the different new releases, but I felt he was dismissive. I asked about the gaming community and didn't get much feedback. The store was clean and in good shape, but wasn't impressed with their tables or display. They do have a Smaug on display that should be entered in the Golden Demon. Very impressive. I said this to the salesman, but (yet again) was dismissed. He actually smirked as if the artist wasn't good enough. Overall- not impressed. The salesman should be building up the art and gaming community, not dismissing it. Also should be promoting those that show talent and not holding them back.

I'm mainly looking for ps1-2 games, so that's all I'll really speak on here. They have a solid selection and variety of games for what I'm in the market for. Usually most places only have 5000 copies of old sports games. I can typically walk out of VGT with something nice or rare that I wanted as a kid. Highly recommend supporting this business.

I felt a bit of an "ebgames" vibe -- before they went TOO commercialized! They carry a lot of comics (that are still in EXCELLENT condition), figurines, controllers, and even newer games as well (like ps4/Switch/etc). We were greeted immediately after walking in and provided a "break down" of where to find everything. The fact that they have old school arcades (which they also allow you to play unlimited for free -- and still have tournaments on) means they are okay with me! Lol! Def glad we found this place! Granted, we only purchased 3 ps2 games, but we still have a ps1, ps2, ps3, N64, and NES so we will DEF be back!

I've been shopping at this store for many years. I've had a few minor problems with them over the…read moreyears--nothing too serious, just minor mistakes with a few video game purchases I've made. Nothing that made me stop shopping there or write a negative review at the time. However, I went in there the other day to look around, and I ended up spotting a Virtual Boy for $400, which is pretty expensive. But I recently received $400 for my birthday, so I figured what the heck and bit the bullet and purchased the system, as it was the only Nintendo system I currently didn't own at the time. The employee even let me briefly try it out, and it seemed to work well, so I bought it. After I got home, I set it up in order to fully test and try it out. However, while testing it, I realized that the right lens only shows a distorted image. However, this is only noticeable when you have your left eye closed. I tried to call the store immediately, but unfortunately they had already closed for the day. So the next day, I called at work and explained the problem with the console that they had sold me. The woman on the phone sounded very understanding and told me to bring it back, as they had a worker there who does repairs. So after work, I drove home, packed up the Virtual Boy, and headed back to the store. I even called and told them that I was on the way, and I was told, "Okay, we'll look at it when you come in." When I arrived, the repair guy plugged the console in and said, "Yeah, I see it's not working. However, there's nothing I can do." Then he called the employee that had sold me the console the previous day, and I explained the situation for a fourth time while the "Repair" guy called the owner. The employee who sold me the unit initially offered me to trade it back into the store, as they would not let me return the unit. I told him no because "I WOULD JUST BE GIVING THEM FREE MONEY AT THAT POINT" The "Repair" guy returned and told me that I have to get it repaired somewhere else, as he can only do basic repairs like battery swaps on cartridges. THAT WOULVE BEEN GREAT TO KNOW THE 2 TIMES I CALLED BEFORE I HEADED TO THE STORE. Anyway, the employee that sold me the unit also got on the phone with the owner and explained the situation. After he was done talking to his boss, he told me, "They can't give me a refund, not even a partial refund, and I couldn't trade it in because it's damaged." I then again explained that they SOLD ME THE UNIT DEFECTIVE BUT YOU CAN ONLY NOTICE IT WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR LEFT EYE. They both just kept saying that they "tested it" with all the employees and none of them noticed any issues with the unit. Then the guy who sold me the broken unit low-key started blaming me for the damage, saying that "I could have damaged it on the way home yesterday, as the console is very fragile." And I'm just standing there thinking to myself, "No way he genuinely said something so RETARDED. He gotta be rage baiting. If a simple car ride is enough to damage the unit, would it not make sense that the person that drove to the store to originally trade the unit in to them damaged it? Therefore, it was already damaged before I purchased it." He then told me "that there's not much they could do," which is pretty much the nice way of saying "piss off." I then asked, "Since you can't do much, what can you do?" and he replied by saying, "What do you want?" I asked if I could get a discount on the item or a partial refund, as $400 is a lot of money to pay for a defective item. He told me "no," so I asked again, "What can you do then?" and he replied with "pretty much nothing." The employee's rage bait is starting to work and is genuinely pissing me off at this point, so I replied, "Why would you say there's not much you can do if you can't do nothing at all?" WHY EVEN TELL ME TO BRING THE UNIT BACK IN IF YOU CAN LITERALLY DO NOTHING DESPITE BEING INFORMED OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE UNIT TWICE BEFORE I EVEN GOT THERE. In the end the "Repair" guy clearly wanted me gone so he begrudgingly filled out a punch card and handed it to me 15% off my next purchase pretty much saying next time you come in you can pay less to get scammed

It looks small from the outside, but Wild Aster is quite big on the inside. There are many shelves sorted by genres. There is a back area for children. There's also a smaller area for stationary items. There's even a really cool section where the books are all wrapped in brown craft paper (so you can't see the actual book), but a description and genre is written on the craft paper with marker. My wife got me one of these as a surprise for my birthday, and I also bought a book from one of the mystery/thriller shelves. The books are averagely priced. We chatted with the owner, Grace, for a little as well. I believe she owns the bookstore with her husband. He was not there though. She was so friendly! She was letting us know about all the events Wild Aster throws (they throw a lot, so definitely check out their website/instagram to stay updated!), local recommendations around the area, and was giving us insight into how the store came to be and all that. She was truly a delight to talk to! I look forward to coming back here in the future! I LOVE a good bookstore, and this is right in our backyard!!
