I was blown away by their inventory and everything they had. From Star Wars, Marvel, DC, TMNT, GI Joe, Transformers, Horror Figures and so much more. Something else that I thought was so cool and spoke to my heart was all the toys from my childhood. The guys working here were very friendly and offered help and were there to help when needed. Unfortunately I was short on time so I wasn't able to spend as much time browsing as I wanted. I didn't even get to go through their comics, but they did have several long boxes and what looked liked a pretty nice comic collection. I wish I had found about them earlier so I could have spent more time there. I'm definitely looking forward to my next time in Birmingham so I can visit again. The store is so well stocked and the prices are great. I bought three figures and next time I'm definitely leaving room in my bag. Definitely check them out.

Their prices aren't much cheaper than the actual company's that made the models/paints but what they do offer is a rewards service that will keep you coming back. Earn enough points and you'll be getting $10-20 off your next purchase, which can really go a long way. The staff is super friendly and they have built a great community in the Hoover/Birmingham area. If you are looking to get a game in, or try out a board game, over half the store is dedicated to just that. Can't say enough good things about Gear Gaming!

[Out-of-Towner Review]…read more The name had me swooning before I even arrived. This independent bookstore is nestled in a non-descript shopping center with a variety of restaurants and shops. As I pulled into the parking lot, I didn't have many expectations. However, when I walked through the door, I was quickly proven incorrect! TYB is a cute, quaint bookstore that is filled with a great amount of books by genre and for a variety of readers. The staffer that was there was extremely helpful and happy to share some ideas for the book for me to purchase. I was in need of a book for my work travel, since I'd accidentally read my book too fast and did not bring up a backup book (rookie mistake). I perused the romance section, new releases, sale section, staff picks, and every nook and cranny of the bookstore. I finally settled on a new release, which was actually a signed copy -- bonus for me! I also snagged a really cute book for me (soon to be) nephew, as I've been building out his library as I've been building out mine with my independent book store visits! Overall, this is a great store for Birmingham, as they don't have a huge local bookstore options. If I'm back in the area, I'll definitely stop by and grab a book...or three! Exactly what you'd want out of a local, quaint independent bookstore.

This would usually include PC's they have set up inside as well, but they've been down for a bit. Don't let this distract you however, as this is an amazing place to spend your day with basic snacks and drinks available. The employees are very friendly and helpful, they're always more than happy to help you get anything set up. Definitely a hidden gem, the death of the third place in America is arguably the saddest in recent times.
