I have been an action figure collector my whole life and this store was like heaven to me. Every…read morespace is covered top to bottom with rows and display cases of modern and vintage action figures and toys from various eras. The prices are reasonable and not egregious like some other stores I've been to. There are plenty of lose figures for really good deals and many are complete with their respective accessories. The staff I met were offered to get stuff from way up on the high shelves for me to look at and were patient even when I decided to put things back. I found a vintage Mighty Max figure from 1971 and one staff member helped me figure out what it was via a google lense search. If you are a collector of vintage or modern action figures/toys there's something here for you.

The comic selection is pretty great like there's tons here that you could look for hours and there's also so many other things collectibles to find here So ends the good When I say this place is overpriced I'm not saying by a small amount this place is crazy OVERPRICED asking upwards of 10-15 dollars for non key Batman legends of the dark knight books even tho you can get almost the whole run for 2 dollars a book. The condition of the priced books is also Horrendous! 20$ keys were COVERED in spine ticks but had 60$ price tags on them "uncanny x men 138" for 60 dollars when it has more ticks than a stray dog is highway robbery Lastly they have a HUGE sign outside that clearly states "we buy sell trade comics, games, cards" yet when I asked the guy if he was interested in looked at the books I brought he said "sorry our guy only does business online". So put that on your sign then Just stay away from this place it puts scalpers to shame with its prices of beat up comics

It's always been super-easy to update my subscription and I love discovering all the pop culture gems when I visit: used records, CDs, DVDs, Disneyana, games, toys, and of course comic books! All at reasonable prices. I love the bins of action figures; you never know who you'll find! Free handicapped parking can be found in the metered lot behind the shop on Chestnut Street. There are also several handicapped spots on Moody Street. Shop is handicapped accessible, though it is a pinch cramped in the back. I've been able to maneuver with a rollator and cane. If you need help navigating or reaching anything, the owner is happy to help.

As a Disney nerd I was very excited to scan their vast amount of Disney collectibles. Statues, pins, books, comics, stuffed animals, die cast cars, you name it they have it. As soon as you walk in you can smell the paper, books and comics from wall to wall. The gentleman that works there was extremely nice and helpful with trying to find certain comics my oldest was looking for. It definitely let me walk down memory lane with some of the old comics they have available. The pricing is reasonable too, if I didn't budge well I'd leave that store with empty pockets but with a treasure trove of goodies.

Fun time browsing this store after our train ride ended right on Newbury Street this morning…read more Everything from Tshirts and manga, to plush animals and socks, to trading cards and Funko pops, graphic novels and regular books. My brother got a Tshirt and some socks and my husband bought a book. The staff was helpful. Freezing cold in there with the a/c blasting but I'm sure it would feel good later when it's warmer and when it's crowded. Didn't really check the prices but apparently they were ok because people bought stuff. Come check it out! Newbury street is fun for shopping anyway!

We spent way longer in here than anticipated and that's a good thing. This place is huge and has…read moreso much to see and look at. I usually only come into these stores with my husband because he's the nerd but lemme tell ya, even I saw a few things that I'd like to have. Fortunately, for my pocket book and for my carry-on, my husband kept his cool and just bought a few small things that he hasn't seen in any of the shops where we live. He was super excited to check everything out and get things he can't get at home and I was lucky it was all small things. Why 4 stars? The place is upkept well but it kind of smells musty and weird in here. The employees are kind of meh, not very helpful or friendly. Also, pricing is a bit high, comparatively speaking, so the value is a bit low, but I do understand this place in a tourist zone, so I get it.

When I travel, I always try to find something that I can't find locally for my husband…read more Transformers are something that we don't have much of back in Boise. So, after coming into this shop, I knew I could potentially find something unique for my husband! They have every toy, anime or movie theme here imaginable! T shirts, tons of blind boxes, comics and novelty merch. I did check out the comics to see if there were any Transformer comics. Unfortunately there wasn't any. I did also check out their Transformers Blokees but my husband already had a majority of them. Nothing else really caught my eye for him as a take home present. My lack of stars is not for the store itself but for the staff. I interacted with 3 of them and all were unbelievably rude. I know they deal with a lot of traffic from tourists but if you can't handle customer service with tourists then maybe you should find a better fitting job. Customer service should not be it. I left with some Harry Potter themed Uno cards. Spending 11 dollars here truly pissed me off but I know my friend will love them. Have no expectations from the staff and you'll leave happy.

Friar Tuck himself greeted us at the door today and gave us a quick tour…read more My husband was excited to check out this comic book store, not only because they had back issues that he was looking for in his collection but also the entire store was at least 20% off today! (The prices were a little high to begin with so the sale made them more regular). The display comic books had cool identifiers like the first appearance of Hawkeye, for example. They were valued higher because of these specifics. Even those were 20% off today. My husband's only critique was that some of the long boxes were packed too tight such that he would've had to pull out multiple comic books just to be able to search through the box. He says he would've bought more if there were about 15 fewer issues per long box. Come check it out!

Awesome comic book store. Exactly what I was looking for during my unexpected free afternoon during…read moremy Boston visit. Walked in and one of the employees asked if I was new there. I said Yes and he then gave me their quick spiel. From other reviews it looks like 20% off isn't new and has been a thing for a very long time. I didn't find, in general, their prices to be too bad. A few books maybe but they're smack in the middle of the city in a high tent area and their selection of pretty much everything is great, do slightly higher prices are understandable. Highly suggest a visit for current books, back issues, slabs, and I think lots of gaming stuff as well (I didn't pay attention to their non-comic stuff). It was actually fun for me.
