I've picked up free redemption codes through Gamestop before for Pokémon shiny codes (or event…read morecodes). It's never been an issue before to swing in and grab a free code (which the Pokemon Company AND Gamestop advertise it as), even a day or two after release. This time the code was for Scarlet/Violet, Shiny Miraidon/Koraidon depending on which version of the game you have. Get to this location shortly after opening (on 9/26/25) and it's ridiculously busy with people all in line trying to buy new Pokémon cards (and possibly Magic?). That's fine- however, we then learn that we are *REQUIRED* to spend $15 in order to get the *free* code. I understand one per person, that's entirely fair...but these are supposed to be free. I watched a young man get turned away because he didn't have money, he asked if he could show them his switch to prove he has played this game and loves it; he wasn't rude, he wasn't a re-seller, he was just a guy who loves his Pokemon game. He didn't have $15 to spend for his free code and they told him they couldn't help him because the District Manager told them that morning that people must spend $15 to get the code, to avoid re-sellers (5 minutes prior to this, another guy was irritated and insisted on the fact they're supposed to be free and she handed him two codes because she didn't want to "argue over a piece of paper". What?? She apologized and was mostly kind, but I can't understand the idea that this is okay. If I had chosen to be rude, would I have gotten my code for free? Neither employee was rude to us, the gentleman who rang us out for something we didn't want was quick and kind about it but this can't actually be allowed.. when we left I saw that same young man outside in absolute tears because he was turned away (and shouldn't have been). I hope he is able to somehow get his code, I gave mine to my younger brother (who is stuck at school) or I'd have given him mine. Most of the people in the store wanted to buy cards, and based on the way they were acting about it I am certain they are in fact re-sellers. So how is it a deterrent when those people are already spending enough money to get the code? Something doesn't seem right here. I went ahead and called the Clackamas store to inquire if we needed to spend money to get a code (so I could try to get one for myself since I gave mine to my brother) and they told me no, you just have to come in to the store and it's one per person. These stores should have the same District Manager..so who is lying? I won't be spending money at the Eastport location anymore because I don't think the manager there was being truthful.. I also work retail and I know that things can be cruddy sometimes, but I don't lie to people so my store gets more money and Pro Sign-Ups ‍

Crepes and board games? Wut?…read more It took some convincing from my kid for me to agree to come here. I like tabletop games and crepes both but the combination seemed too novel to be any good either way. Holy crap was I mistaken. Not only is this place massive inside, they have the friendliest staff, an absolutely huge selection of games (both for purchase or available to play onsite), and a really great community of players. But the food, you say, how are these crepes? Well, we ordered three different ones, 2 sweet and 1 savory, and all of them were extremely tasty. Before we even left we were already making plans for our next visit. This place is an absolute gem.

We would love for this store to become the destination it can be for the world's most popular TCG…read more Here are some suggestions. 1. The crepes are bad, and banning outside food isn't going to make us like bad crepes. It's just going to make us not come to your store. Improve the food or allow outside food and drink. It's sold right outside your door and would be easy! 2. Actually advertise and organize FNM. We want C&C to become the flagship Portland store but it's not going to happen spontaneously. Promote your store and hold FNM regularly. We want you to succeed and are begging you to get it together.

Due to an appointment in Oregon I got the pleasure to finally swing by and check one of them out... and WOW! I was in readers heaven. I felt like the pricing was a bit steep on some books but for the most part it's kind of worth it. The only weird vibe I had here was the staff. Yes, they were polite, but they were all so robotic. There was one lady who I swear asked me every four minutes without ever looking up at me "are you finding everything okay?" and even checking out the man at the counter hardly acknowledged me or spoke so much as the price my purchase was. Just a weird vibe to me, but then again, everyone has bad days.

They've got a curated selection of fiction, nonfiction, fantasy, kids books, and souvenirs/tchotchkes. These days I mostly borrow Kindle library books.

There is free street parking in the neighborhood north or south of Hawthorne Blvd. Plenty of options to eat, drink, and thrift nearby, including the attached cafe Fresh Pot.
