This is a great little shop for the collectible card gamer. The staff at Robin's Nest is very good…read moreto first time gamers and they've arranged for plenty of opportunities for Magic, Pokemon and YuGiOh players to get together and play in sanctioned events. Also an excellent local resource for single cards. All that's keeping this store from achieving a 5-star rating is their store hours which aren't conducive to people who work during the week - we're only really able to shop on Friday Nights and Saturdays. Also, strict policies keep away kids trying to sell cards and people who aren't there to participate in tournaments, so if you're going to just watch, forget it. Plan to spend the $5 whether you have a tournament deck to play or not.

Unprofessional business. Won't honor prices listed in store or on any other reputable market…read morepricing database. Will adjust your prices at the register based on current "for sale" listings on eBay. It does not feel like a business run to promote this hobby.

When Disney Lorcana the first chapter first came out out. They were selling single packs. 3 per…read morecostumer, they said they were selling them for MSRP LOL.. $6.99 each. If you buy 24 ( a booster box) it comes out to a $30 mark up after tax. Not only do these guys think you're stupid, they scalped them and lied to their costumers when in reality these are $5.99 MSRP. I took my business to everything games in buffalo grove where they are honest with their costumers and sell they're products at MSRP and even when Disney Lorcana was still hard to get, they sold UNDER msrp.

He tells me he couldn't sell me one because "somebody called and said to hold them for him" both cases, 48 booster boxes and all this one guys because he called and said hold them for him vs the person who literally just wants one that's already there? How is that fair to the consumer? How's that good business practice? Just really unfair still dumbfounded

This place was odd. The comics aren't filed beyond letter. Meaning that Superman title you're…read morelooking for could be anywhere among the "S" bins. Low prices; but almost more effort than it's worth to find anything. Seems like it may want to focus more on its magna and card game side than its comics side.
