They're not paranoid of you; they're just friendly and want to help. But what they REALLY want to do is play a game with you - like a FLUX card game. (I played the CAT version.) Speaking of cat, their 17 yr old kitty died last year. Don't be too hard on them. The place is dated, cluttered and musty. But they're great people and that's what matters.

I reached out to the store through their website's text option and asked if they would have the…read moreUnion Arena: Goddess of Victory NIKKE boxes available during the official Nov 21-27 release event period. The staff replied: "We will have the boxes available." Based on that confirmation, I made the trip. When I arrived, I was told their shipment was still being unpacked, so I waited in the area. After everything was sorted, I was informed that NIKKE wasn't part of the shipment at all -- not delayed, not street-dated, simply not included, which directly contradicted the message they sent me earlier. I understand shipments can be incomplete. The issue was being told the product would be available during the event period and only finding out the opposite after waiting around. I'm leaving this review so other customers know to double-check availability before making the drive. (Screenshot of the store's confirmation included.)

This place was fun - I've been to the River Place Shops before but for some reason had never…read morestopped by. They have a HUGE selection of games, gamer-related items, and other things. My boyfriend ended up buying a game he found there, and I was intrigued by the huge selection of Monopoly themed games, such as a Schitt's Creek one. It gets 4 stars from me instead of 5 because the pricing is high - I don't mind supporting small businesses and paying a little more, but my boyfriend looked up one game online and it was like $29.99 at Target or Amazon or somewhere, and they were asking $50 for it, which is quite a lot. I think the game he bought was only like a $2 upcharge, which isn't bad. They also have some fun puzzles, there was a UM one that was a photograph from a Sept. 2011 game. Worth stopping by if you like puzzles, games, or gaming systems.

I dreaded coming here because the last time I was with a friend at a card show (it was at a mall),…read moreit was 2 of the most boring hours of my life and all he did was browse and bought a few Magic the Gathering cards. But yesterday, I went to Pandemonium w/ my husband and 2 sons. We went over to the Pokémon section, and I was amazed. First of all, I couldn't believe my older son, who's 8, totally held his own and knew what he was talking about asking to look at cards from different types of sets and versions of different values, etc. My youngest son, who's 6, was doing pretty well himself. But the thing that impressed me the most is that, the Pokémon guru, Trevor, did not talk down to my kids and try to scam them out of money. I don't know if it's because my husband and I were standing there, but all I saw were very professional transactions, ending with an official agreement-binding handshake. My husband and I were basically only there to show support towards their strong interest in something specific and would've only jumped in if things went completely sideways, but I got a feeling they would've been treated with the same respect if we weren't there, especially since my kids know what they're talking about. I'm so proud of them and so impressed with Trevor and the store in general that when my kids get older, I would be happy to drop them off for a couple of hours to battle with others while I go get some peace and quiet somewhere else.

I used to go to Comic Relief all the time back in the day. As a matter of fact, it was my go to…read moreshop. Then I stepped away from comic books for a while. Having recently returned to reading and collecting, I have had the opportunity to visit a couple of times. The first experience was very underwhelming. My friend and I went in looking for some back issues. There was a single person working who didn't even bother to greet us when we walked in or even say two words. As we hunted through the back issues, again, wasn't spoken to at all. Finally I asked about a couple books was basically waved over towards the general area. His dinner was much more important. (Spent over $30) But hey, everyone has an off day so I said I would give it another chance later on. Second experience started with a phone call that left me feeling like I was causing an inconvenience. But I wanted the books and they had them. So off I went. This experience was much like the last. Walked in and there wasn't anyone around at all. I found the book I was looking for on the shelf and grabbed it and proceeded to browse back issues again. Found some I wanted. Owner/manager finally appeared and chatted with another person that came in afterwards. Still didn't acknowledge me. Went to check out, stood at the counter while he wandered around. Finally noticed me. Checked me out ($40). Barely spoke. So...while they have a great selection of back issues and current stuff is usually in stock, I am about the experience as much as the purchase and it was just a sucky experience. Comic Relief was not a welcoming place. I don't know if it is because I am not a regular or what. If all you want is to get your books and leave, then have at it. If you want an enjoyable experience and especially if you are new to the store or comic collecting, I would recommend heading over to Amazing Bookstore on Richfield or, if you don't mind the drive, Coy Comics in Saginaw. Both places offer a great experience.
