Online showed they might have some in stock, so I called first. The gentlemen I spoke with on the phone was really nice and answered my questions, which made me feel confident enough to stop by in person. When I walked in, though, the in-store experience felt a bit different and on the emptier side. The two employees at the front didn't seem very welcoming and gave off a slightly annoyed vibe. When I asked about the Pokémon cards, they seemed confused about what I was referring to until I mentioned I had called earlier and spoken to someone. They checked with their coworker, who clarified which ones he had told me about. I asked to see the packs they had behind the counter, and the interaction still felt a little tense. That said, I was able to grab the two packs, which ended up being the perfect gift for my cousin, so mission accomplished. Overall, they had what I needed, and I appreciate that the phone service was helpful. I'd probably come back if I really needed something specific, and I'm curious to explore more of what they carry. Just hoping for a warmer in-store customer service experience next time.

As a somewhat new collector, this place is amazing! They truly do have almost everything (besides…read moreTransformers, go to Albella for that.) including a surplus of Gundam. They have shelves upon shelves of comics, model kits, etc--I greatly recommend spending some time looking here. The cashier was extremely helpful, showing me around after I asked for some help. Obviously, the main selling point for most people--the prices are great. A figure I would've spent $40+ on Amazon for cost a mere $27.99, as most of their products are retail OR slightly above, by a very slim margin. Additionally, for those who leave low-star reviews; just because your local comic store participates in a day to give FREE product doesn't mean every business has to. You are not entitled to anything of Free Comic Day, it's just that some people offer it. Also, the cat? Why would you pet a sleeping cat? That's pure, unfiltered ignorance--let the poor thing sleep. Also, who goes to a comic store for Anime paraphernalia? What I'm trying to say is, please, don't drop a trip over here because of strange opinions, as the place is definitely worth the trip.

The best part about this place was how helpful the guy working was…read more The store was not organized and all the comics were in long boxes. The stock in store is mostly older items with only 1 or 2 racks of current items. He has a lot of vintage toys but he does not have trade paperbacks. This would be a good place for someone looking for vintage magazines and older, obscure comics but not a place you want to go if you're looking for more newer "hot" items.

Almost the whole shop is back-issue comics and magazines, mostly bronze and modern age, plus a decent selection of new graphic novels and trades, old sci-fi / fantasy paperbacks, and some other collectibles. I knocked more items off my want list here than anywhere around the country in recent memory. Prices IMHO range from low to a bit high, so more than fair in the aggregate. Easy to browse despite the small space. Prices clearly marked. Easy parking. For the type of shop this is (the type I like most!), legitimately great.

I saw some great--if not household name--scifi on the shelves, and as a Bond geek was happy to see Ian Fleming et al. get some space on the shelves. Everything was priced pretty fairly. I'll have to drop back in from time to time.

The comics I bought were in mint condition and some of them were total steals! I was shocked to get a comic worth almost $50 for just $15. This was the most organised comic book store I've ever been to and I really appreciated the cozy atmosphere. I also loved that they had a nice comfy couch for my parents to relax on while I was getting my comics. Would totally recommend this spot if you're hunting for specific comics!!

I went in twice while visiting family in Milwaukee, and both times walked out of Collector's Edge with unexpected surprises and long sought-after additions to my collection. I was especially happy that, while they certainly carry plenty of the standard superhero comics from Marvel and DC, there's also an excellent selection of the independent titles I tend to prefer. And perhaps my favorite thing - to find the good stuff, you should be willing to hunt a bit. While I'm sure the staff would be only too happy to help point you in the direction of something you're looking for, if you have the time to explore for yourself Collector's Edge will reveal its many treasures to you. So while Zanadu, my old favorite place to shop for comics in Seattle, closed its doors years ago, it's good to know that good old-fashioned comic shops like Collector's Edge keep their tradition going.

Stopped by Lion's Tooth recently in an ongoing effort to visit any and all bookshops in the…read moreMilwaukee metro. Lion's Tooth is a small, hole in the wall, bookshop nestled in Bay View. What it lacks for in size, it makes up for in curation. These booksellers know the Bay View audience and have thoughtfully handpicked their stock to suit. I noticed that they have a few bookclubs--I can't remember all of them but there is one that focuses on books about wine. So, if you're looking to learn more about wine, you may have found your spot. They have a nice selection of social justice books and have a solid supply of graphic novels as well. For myself, I was able to pick up a collection of short stores while I was in. What a gem of a spot! Get to it!

I work with people who seek my assistance to procure toys and other unique items for their…read morecollections. I joke that I'm a Toy Hunter for fun. Not my full time job but I do love going into odd and ends stores to find a specific item. It's the thrill of the find that I chase for. So every time my husband and I are vacationing across the country, we spend a little bit of that time to find vintage shops like this one to find what is needed for his collection or others. I've been in search for a 2017 Mighty Morphin Red Ranger, made by Bandai, and is part of their "Build a Zord" collection, for about 5 years now. For whatever reason, my husband missed the opportunity to purchase this item when it came out. Time passed and when we finally located that item, the scalpers were selling them for an arm, a leg, and your first born child. I found the exact item on eBay from Make Cents and purchased it as an early Christmas gift for my husband. At a very fair price. I wanted him to go there, stumble across it, then surprise him that I had already purchased it. Plans did not work as the day before we were going on a journey to the establishment, he was whining that I was working on procuring items for everyone but not for his most sought-out item. So I broke the news to him. Make Cents is such a fun store. It's what I would imagine when I think of the best place where all my childhood toys are. Video games, TMNT, Barbie, Rainbow Brite, to wrestling figures, loved and displayed perfectly. The shop is small but so clean. There's also a glass display of all pastel pink items and I can tell you, I wanted each and every item. So nostalgic! The people there take pride in their products and they are aware of the magic this place has. The person who sold the item to us was so kind. He allowed us take our time to look at everything in the shop and was available to answer any questions, even if the shop was closing in 15 minutes. This establishment is such a gem and a must-see for all walks of life.

What a find! I didn't quite know what I was getting into but I knew what I was looking for…read more Makes Cents is a collection of everything vintage from toys to video games and collectibles. The small store in a nondescript strip mall is a must see for collectors. Almost all of the items are in a case or behind the counter and are clearly marked with a price. This is the kind of place to get a gift for yourself or that person who appreciates the effort of finding that unique item you won't be able to find elsewhere. There's a lot to see in this small but well organized space. I look forward to returning and making sure that I didn't miss a thing.
