Nerd Out Comics is hands down my favorite comic book shop in Tampa! They have a huge selection of…read moreback issues, get all the newest comics every week, and even have some high-end books and popular key issues displayed in a glass case up front. All of the books are fairly priced. Everything is well organized and easy to find, which makes browsing a pleasure. The owner is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming, and he makes you feel right at home. There are several other comic shops in the city, but Nerd Out Comics stands out above the rest for me because of the excellent customer service and the way the store is organized. Whether you're hunting for a specific issue or just browsing, this place is definitely worth checking out!

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.

I love this store. If you want to find vintage radio, stereo, PA, musical instruments, records,…read moreeven 50s televisions, check out Green Shift. It should be a stop on any journey to Tampa. The owner, Don, is friendly and willing to work with you on about anything. There are lots of comics, which I know nothing about, so I will just say there are a lot. Mike Lakeland, FL

Green Shift Comics - Tampa's Hidden Gem for Comics & Guitars!…read more If you're a comic fan--or just want to check out some cool guitars--Green Shift Comics is a must-visit. This shop is a goldmine of comics. Whether you're hunting for the latest releases or a hard-to-find classic, Green Shift has it all.

In an era where comic shops can feel sterile or corporate, Green Shift radiates personality and heart. Do yourself a favor and check them out--you won't be disappointed. 5 out of 5 stars!

I LOVE THIS PLACE. They have a wide collection of books, movies, music, stickers, posters, I love…read moreit. The employees there are always so nice and helpful, their cafe has great drinks and treats (my personal favorite is their rose chai with pistachio milk, have to buy it every time) they are my local book store so it's very convenient if I want to add more books to my tbr corner . The only downside is they don't have all the books in the world, the books and music that are available are the only ones available. But that's totally fine because you can always browse and discover more authors and genres that they have available. 11/10 will recommend this place, it's like my very own heaven. AND TIP YOUR BARISTAS!!!

Air-conditioned! Thankfully, considering the intense heat on this side of FL…read more Good stock - a good selection of new and used books and vinyl. Definitely have everything a new collector might want but may not have the deep cuts a long-time collector (like me) would be looking to purchase. Prices - a tad high. But I expected that considering I'm in a metropolitan area. Their rent is probably super high, but I don't mind paying an extra $2-3 per book to keep an independent store open. Regarding those deep cuts: - I did find some authors that I think are often overlooked, including Richard K. Morgan, Chuck Tingle, and Ann Leckie. - I was saddened to see that there was no Ronald Malfi in stock, which I find to be a mainstay in horror. - There was no Between the Buried and Me vinyl in stock, which saddens me due to concert tonight (that's why I drove all the way to this coast). Rating - 4.2/5.0

So many options she could hardly decide - so she ended up basing her selection on price- and they do have a wide variety of price ranges which is nice!

This store is a gem and if you are looking for toys/comics of a wide variety you should definitely visit! I will be back :).

Nostalgia factor through the roof. I swear some of the posters up are the same. A solid selection of vinyl, cds, and other music needs. I saw a small wall of books for sale as well. They're still buying 2nd hand if your items are in demand and good condition. We were not in there to sell so I can't speak to any rules or advice there. We did score a couple used and new vinyl to gift the in laws and it made them mighty happy come xmas day.

The majority of their stock is used vinyl and that's great if you're into that, which I am not. The new records I did purchase had permanent impressions on the cover from their anti-theft tag. there were only a couple people in the store. How hard is it to pay attention to what they are doing. A lot of used hi fi gear that's not in great shape seems to be collecting dust. Pretty underwhelming experience overall and I won't be back. It was my second trip. Too many other good record stores in the Tampa Bay Area to patronize.

Target is lot like most other big box sotres that sell clothes, homegoods, and groceries…read more Employees are ok and will help when asked. This particular location has a large self checkout area next to the regular checkout lanes (most of which are closed and not manned). There is also a large covered car drive uyp pickup area. Inside, there is a Starbucks, an eyeglass store, and a small self checkout market that sells snacks and drinks. This partilcular store has a large grocery and bakery section which offer decent selection. One issue is that the shelves are sometimes not stocked well so you'll run into issues there occasionally. We generally leverage this Target to do pickup orders since its convenient to order on the app and pickup in the drive up area. One thing that still bothewrs me about that is there isn't an easy way to check your purchase before you leave. I've only run into an issue once and Target addressed it, but I guess it's part of the cost of convenience. Overall, outside of spending too much money at Target, I can't say too much good or bad. It fills our needs and will probably fill yours too.

I just recently started ordering vapes online and it's sooo much cheaper. They charge $25 for a rechargeable popular vape like lost Mary's or elf bars and I get them online for basically wholesale price at $13.
