I came in to do a trade in for my ps4 and some controllers. I have tested the ps4 not too long ago…read more I decided to come trade it in. Everyone was professional and nice. When they tested my ps4 the hdmi port wasn't working and 2/3 controllers were not working as well. I came to trade in my stuff at GameStop instead and the ps4 was working perfectly and 2/3 controllers were working! I'm confused why Luna games said that my ps4 wasn't working properly and few of my controllers. I'm not sure if I recommend trading consoles here I'm usually full support of smaller game businesses maybe today they didn't take extra steps to see if my trade in was working properly? Anyways I still love buying games here I highly recommend this was my only confusing experience at this location so far.

One of the $5 bills they gave me was fake, and even counting that 5, they short changed me by a few dollars of what they said. So if you want to come here to sell games, just be careful and don't be shy to check the money in front of them before leaving

Calico Games Mira Mesa is easily one of my favorite video game stores in San Diego. I've bought…read moreliterally hundreds of games from Calico over the years, along with multiple consoles and other gaming stuff, and I can honestly say I've never had a bad experience. One of my favorite things about Calico is the staff. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and informal in the best way. It doesn't have that corporate retail feeling where you're just another customer. You can actually talk games with the employees, ask for recommendations, or just browse and enjoy the store. I've been to their different locations as well, and I have genuinely never met a bad staff member at any of them. The Mira Mesa location itself has a great layout. It's packed with games and other gaming-related stuff, but it still feels organized and fun to browse. I could easily spend a ridiculous amount of time walking around looking through everything because there's always something that catches my eye. I also think their trade-in values are very fair. I've traded in plenty of games over the years, and I've consistently felt like I was getting a reasonable amount of credit toward something else. Even better, the staff have recommended games to me that I probably wouldn't have picked up on my own, and I've ended up finding some really great additions to my collection because of their recommendations. At this point, Calico has become one of my go-to places whenever I'm looking for something for my collection. Whether I'm hunting for a specific game, browsing for something unexpected, trading in old stuff, or looking for a console, I know I'm going to have a good experience. If you're into retro games, collecting, or just video games in general, I highly recommend checking out Calico Games. Independent game stores like this are becoming harder to find, and Calico genuinely feels like a place run by people who actually enjoy gaming. Easily 5 stars from me.

Typically we'd hit up game stop but those seem to be closing. Hubby found Calico and so we took a quick trip over. Wowzer! They practically had an entire wall of Xbox 360 games which was Perfect. Store is well organized and staff was friendly. This place is better than GameStop. We left with several games all well priced. I'm sure this won't be their last time visiting. The boys are happy to have found this little gem. Easy parking too in lot.

Date of visit: July 24, 2024…read more As part of Comic-Con 2024, Now Or Never Comics was participating in the festivities in two ways - by having a raffle for three CGC-rated books with purchase of the most recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles book... and a free pizza party. AUTOMATIC FIVE-STAR RATING! Okay, besides that, Now or Never is one of the few (if not only) comic book stores in Downtown San Diego. It's actually cleaner and more organized than the ones I frequent, but the relatively small size of the building means they don't have as much in stock as I'd like. Case in point, I wanted to show my appreciation for supporting SDCC by getting a couple of graphic novels of Trese and Usagi Yojimbo, but the ones I wanted weren't in stock. But, given how I was surprised to see a comic book store a few blocks away from the Convention Center, I can see myself probably checking it out again whenever I'm in the area.

This store is fairly new, it opened just a few months ago. The front of their shop is packed with…read moreboxes on display. They aren't official boxes from platforms, but printed pictures just slapped onto them. Almost all of the merchandise is used, which isn't an issue, but nearly all are priced at least twice as much as the market price for the same game selling brand new. A good portion of their consoles and games are also being sold as fakes, but the store does not list them as such. For the average person who does not know how to identify a real vs a knock-off console/game, they could easily be fooled by these items. This store is incredibly dishonest by not disclosing this upfront. Lastly, I did not appreciate the store attendant following myself and my spouse around everywhere. I have a feeling he overheard us talking about the prices and authenticity of his items and hence started following us all around the store. We decided to walk from aisle to aisle just to see what he would do and sure enough, each place he would follow without asking us if we needed help. Just awkwardly standing extremely close to us listening to our conversation. I would never buy from such a dishonest store.

I'm not trying to say anything bad, but I believe it would be better to extend this Game Stop here. But if you are looking for quick gifts especially Gift Cards for people especially kids nowadays since every kid that I know of plays some kind of game from smartphones, iPads or even their own gaming console. Some of these kids needs some stuff and money to get the proper outfit, extra lives and etc to win some game or even just to play the game that they want. Also, This location also have quite a few Pre-Owned Games especially for Nintendo DS Games, so if you are one of those people who wanted to play those old games, check this location out! #Throwback

The value was priceless since he was so friendly and gifted me the card protectors. There was a big variety of prices, things that were collectible and tings for the beginning collector.

The owner will go on a long diatribe about how he "used" to reseal and scam people. If you've been there, I'm sure he's pulled out his little binder and wasted your time. Super shady. Every collector booster I've purchased there has been in poor shape and looked odd at the seams. I haven't had a single hit over 5 dollars. It could just be my bad luck, but it could also be something fishy going on. I'm never going there again. Bad vibes all around in this shop. The only redeeming quality is they have a decent magic precon selection, but he overcharges.
