They have great stock of TCGs, accessories, plushies, board games and beverages. They even had free…read moresticker sheets and Pokemon stickers and accessories! They had plenty of tables and chairs for card events which was going on when we went in around 7:30pm on a Saturday. The staff seemed to be very professional and friendly, ensuring to answer all questions we had. My boyfriend bought a few Magic singles and he only really buys them after checking how much it really goes for so the prices seem to be fair. They do have singles for One Piece, Lorcana, Pokemon, and Magic which is nice cause it's usually the last two I see. They do have a little area for you to search in their database and they get it within a few minutes too. Overall a great card shop in the area.

Called the store on the day of a pre-release trading card game launch to inquire if they were…read moreselling product. The employees had no idea what I was talking about and asked me where I had heard that there was a launch that day. I responded that other local game stores were selling the product and that the publisher had noted that that was the release day for local game stores. After confirming that this set had in fact been released, they then told me that they would not be selling product until two days later at their launch event. On the day of the launch event, I arrived to find out that the employees did not even know if there was a launch event happening or know where the product was at all, or if they could even sell it. After determining that there would be an event that day they still were not sure if they would be able to sell it to us or with the price would be and chose a price that was higher than other product from the same trading card game. This was all after calling ahead to confirm these things and then traveling over an hour and a half to the store since there are not many local game stores where I live. Overall, when asking questions it felt like I was bothering the employees and that it was my fault that they didn't know the answers to my questions and it was an inconvenience that we had even asked. This is in sharp contrast to other local game stores in the area who will always look to find the answer to a question if they don't know the answer. Past experiences at Geek Fortress have been a little unorganized, but nothing like the most recent one. I will not be coming back.

What a great store! I have seen it on my trips to the International District for years, but I have…read morenever been inside. I recently got into the Gundam hobby and thought it was time to check this store out. The interior is small but packed with stock, and a few very impressive display cases containing some great scale models. There were several other customers in the store and the owner/operator had a good report with all of them. He took time to talk with me and answer my questions and was very friendly and knowledgeable. I really appreciated his tips and advice. Hike the store is small it has a very good selection of model lines and models. It even had a few premium boxes which I was excited to see. Beyond the models there was also a very good selection of hobby tools paints and supplies. I will absolutely be coming back here and can't recommend it highly enough.

Wow. Who would have thought there'd be a decent Boardgame store in a mall? I haven't been in a mall…read morein years. But I wanted a set of Chessex dice. So, I decided to head to the Everett Mall (I was meeting up with some friends in Everett to game that night), because someone told me about Wishes. I was concerned that it would be a toy store with a few games in the back. No way! This place is Boardgame heavy. In fact, I saw titles and expansions I wouldn't expect to see in any Boardgame store. Dice? Not much of a selection. At all. I wanted a block of 36 D6s from Chessex. They might have had a handful of Chessex polyhedral sets. I was disappointed. But I decided to walk through the boardgane section. Again, Wow! Lots of depth of titles. I think I saw Twilight Imperium from a row away, and I thought, 'Would they have any Cthulhu Wars expansions? Nah, not in a mall, right?' OMG. I was so wrong. I found a shelf practically dedicated to Cthulhu Wars and Dark Souls! I highly recommend Wishes in the Everett Mall! The two employees I met (Zack and John?) were both friendly and helpful. I ended up buying a Cthulhu Wars expansion - The Sleeper. I still can't believe they had it in stock.

My kids particularly love to build their own minifigs (these make a really cute, custom gift!)) and stuff as many legos as they can in the plastic cups! I haven't been to a birthday party here yet, but it looks like a neat space they have for parties, and I plan to look into the options for one of my kiddos who has a winter birthday.

Genuinely not worth my time, and it shouldn't be worth yours either. If you're planning to sell…read moreyour LEGO sets here, don't bother. I brought in over eight retired LEGO sets from themes like Avengers, Batman, and Spider-Man. I was only selling the main builds without the minifigures, so I expected the offer to be lower. However, I didn't expect to be offered only $50 for everything. The offer wasn't even remotely reasonable, and they wouldn't budge at all. It felt like they were only focused on maximizing their own profit rather than making a fair offer. If you're hoping for a fair trade-in experience, I'd recommend selling your LEGO sets elsewhere.

Two out of the last three years I either couldn't make it very early or couldn't make it at all for Free Comic Book Day. The Staff suggested I send a Facebook message listing the titles I really wanted and they would try and set aside copies, and they did both years. I traded in a short box of comics for store credit. Realized of course that they couldn't give me retail value before doing it, but still got more than I was expecting. The amount of titles they stock from large, small and medium publishers alike is impressive. They have fulfilled several special orders I've requested. The Game Room for RPG, card games, etc. is spacious and inviting. Feel pretty fortunate to have this store in my area.

They have a good selection of hobby supplies covering model railroad, plastic models and R/C aircraft. I would say about a third of the store is dedicated to model kits of carious types, and the rest of the store is various other hobby supplies (paints, track, styrene sheets, etc). Overall, they have a lot of different stuff, and if they don't have it, just ask and they are probably just sold out. The staff is pretty helpful when I have questions about new stock, or painting techniques. When I asked a question about a new air compressor, the guy wasted no time in taking it out of the box so we could both have a look at it. Anyway, the staff is generaly knowledgable but not condescending. Always a plus.
