I love gems like this. This is an unpretentious, divey, hole in the wall (literally) record store…read more It is cluttered and messy and disorganized and filled with an assortment of records. And I love it. I go straight to the dollar bins outside. There are about 10-15 bins of records loosely labeled with titles such as "Classic Rock" "Jazz" "Blues". Sometimes a white sticky note will inform you that each record is only 25 cents. I have walked away with 8 records for 2 bucks. Good records! The Doors, Beatles, The Who, Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker Band, etc. etc. There are also some ridiculous options available as well, an unknown rapper from the mid 70's, another album I purchased simply because the record cover was 5 men in speedos and killer mustaches, and of course some holiday themed music. Really, can you beat listening to a lightly scuffed record, with a good whiskey, while cooking a nice meal? PS. Before making the trek here, check the hours. It closes early most days and is closed on Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays. PPS. They also have a selection of current music records, VHS tapes, compact disc's and the classic cassette tape, available for purchase.

I tried to order a blu ray but was partially refunded and told they couldn't understand what I was…read morethinking. I was thinking wow what a great price after googling title of film blu ray and the cinima classics store came up only a few links down. So i added it my cart, considered a few other titles and then checked out. None of the movies I looked at on the website said anything about whether the blu rays were in print of not. Days later i was sent a partial refund and told that I said I read and agreed to the fact that if I have never purchased from them before I must buy at least one in print title or my order would be cancelled. They then gloated about how I wouldn't find as good a price anywhere else and that they didn't know what I was thinking. So I responded that I felt that their email was kinda rude but I would order a second blu ray if I needed to but it was mot obvious that I was supposed to do that, nor was it obvious what was in or not in print. Alas when I went to the website the product was gone. I emailed to ask about it and they said they assumed I didn't want it anymore because I said they were rude. Didn't even read the whole email. If they are the type to reply to reviews I suspect they come at me with some nonsense here because clearly they can never be in the wrong.

It was closed for the night, but I vowed to remember to go back. It looked like my wet dream: classic old movies collected into one small store for my browsing and ecstasy. So, I went back weeks later. The cutest thing about this place is one person works there, and she actually has a sign that says, "Be back in 5 minutes" if she steps out to get coffee or use the restroom or grab lunch or whatnot. That's just cool. I love that carefree attitude when it comes to shops, it's so not stiff and whimsical. Anywho, as to the actual selection, it's solid if not out of this world. The problem with the store I feel is that it'll go out of business because there's too much competition around, and it doesn't help that a lot of old movies aren't on DVD yet, and more hard to find stuff from say, Bogart's catalog (all those actors were under contract and many of them did so many movies that most people haven't seen, they may have sucked but they exist). However, the great thing about the place is that for old movie lovers, to browse by director or actor or genre without all the fluff of crap that usually circulates a place like Kim's or the now not-there Tower, or Virgin, or whatever, it's an easy stop to make. In conjunction they press and present all sorts of film night type stuff in the city. The prices were about on par with any other store, which is expensive to say the least. But if I have a real urge and I'm in there area, I don't mind shelling out a couple extra clams at this place.

And this was the best experience so far. Fantastic collection of reggae, soul, hip hop and rock. Prices are great as well--super competitive. They also have a listening station, which is always convenient. I find that I buy more LPs when I can preview them before purchasing. Their stock is well organized. It is a smaller sized store, but I easily spent two hours looking through everything, including their 45s. I saw a few locals walk in so it felt like a cool neighborhood spot. The shop is definitely worth the trip down to Prospect Lefferts Gardens. It is not too far from the subway or park either.

My wallet walked in with me...and never made it out…read more I went to the Bandai Namco Cross Store in Industry City thinking, "I'll just browse." That was my first mistake. The moment you walk in, it's like your inner child grabs your adult credit card and says, "We ride at dawn." There are Gunpla kits staring at you, shelves of figures judging you, and an entire wall of gashapon machines whispering, "Just one more spin...what's the worst that could happen?" (Answer: you leave with 14 tiny plastic characters and no regrets.) The place is super clean, well organized, and dangerously well-stocked. It's basically a mini Akihabara dropped into Brooklyn, except instead of jet lag, you just get financial regret and a bag full of anime merch you absolutely didn't plan to buy (but 100% needed). Highlights: * The gashapon area is basically a casino, but for anime fans. I blacked out and woke up holding capsules. * Tons of official merch--Gundam, One Piece, PAC-MAN--if Bandai touched it, it's probably here * Chill card game area where you can pretend you came to "hang out" and not spend money Only "downside": * It gets crowded, especially on weekends, which just means more witnesses when you say, "I'm not buying anything else" and immediately buy something else Overall, if you're even slightly into anime, gaming, or collectibles, this place is a must. Just set a budget...then double it...then accept your fate. I'll definitely be back--mostly because I'm pretty sure I left part of my paycheck there
