It looks like it may be a little disorganized but I bet the dude at the counter knows where everything is. Pretty friendly guy asked if I needed help with anything and I said no, just looking, and he said "that'll cost you $1.50-which was cute and made me laugh. I like this place and I'll be back.

Grade: A Atmosphere- Located in a strip mall, What you see with MEC is what you get. The store is well lit, reasonably clean with wide rows that are well stocked. The only major drawback is a strong musty smell that permeates throughout. This could probably be remedied with a good dehumidifier and carpet cleaning. Grade: C- Knowledge/Customer Service- while not as knowledgeable as other stores in the area, MEC is one of the more professional and friendly. Each staff member has been genuinely courteous, helpful and willing to go way out of their way to get what I need. One instance, the gentleman called a competitor to help find the book I wanted. MEC is also the best comic store in terms of price. It is the only comic store in the tri state area that offered a 10% discount for purchasing 5 or more books. Grade: A- Quality/Selection- MEC has a moderate to large selection of mainstream and adult comics. But if you are looking for Indy titles, this is your place. This section alone is larger than all new titles combined at their regional competitors. A small selection of games, toys and cards are also available. If you are looking for back issues however, I would try elsewhere. they have very little past 1990 and most is not in collector condition. On a side note, I would like to see a better display method for Marvel and DC comics near the front. Most comics in that space, on the other side of the counter are damaged along the spines due to over packing the comics into the media cases. Grade: B- Overall: This store has one of the largest selections of indy titles in the tri state area. Their customer service is second to none. However, if you need back issues, I would look elsewhere. Overall Grade: B-

If you're a child of the 70s-90s, chances are you'll find a toy you had in their shop. They have a wonderful selection of toys, collectibles, records, DVDs, comic books, and video games. It's always a pleasure to come here and shop. The staff is friendly as well.

Let us begin with how the store is layed out. The store is fairly tight and you will feel cramped…read moreif you have many people in there. For collectibles I will say they have a huge amount of items you would expect at a place like this + more. There is a massive and I mean massive selection of Blu Ray and dvds at this location and for good prices, however I will question one thing and that is for the TNA three pack dvd that goes for $35 and then WWE PPVs go for $5 a piece as for thiose prices doesn't make sense and I believe that it would for for $15 since it is three TNA PPVs in the set. For games they have a massive lot not G2K Games in Norton massive, but massive none of the less with prices being good, fair, to overpriced that emulation seems reasonble at this point prices like for example one Dreamcast game for for $100 and at that point if someone told me they paid that price point I would have to show them emulation at that point. Let me remind businesses that do this that you are hurting the consumer that knows better as well as the business and it makes me sad to see such a thing be a big deal with retro video game youtubers and things like WATA grading bring this mentality to these peoples minds even when WATA grading got debunked for showing how they overcharge based on grading. Finally lets go on about service. They are nice people and I have no Ill will towards them and I hope they don't take my review as an attack against the them, but more so an advice to the them as I want to see this place succeed and achieve their vision of what they want in the future. overall a 3.5/5 stars and will visit again.

We were greeted quickly upon entering by an employee that obviously loved their job and was willing to assist as needed. The store was laid out nicely with lots of room to move. There's a room on the right side of the store where gaming and tournaments take place. The schedule of events, which were plentiful, was displayed on a screen at the back of the store. The store had many games, action figures, collectables, comic books, miniatures and paints, gaming accessories. The owner came in while we were there and he was engaging and helpful as well. Our son speaks highly of the place and I can see why.

There's so much to look at here, the property itself is stunning and surrounded by amazing nature, the staff are all warm and friendly, and you could spend literally hours here perusing the shelves. There's good old fashioned candy, popcorn, snacks, there's Valle Crucis souvenirs to bring home. It's never felt like a tourist trap, it's always felt very warm, country, and welcoming. The building itself is so old and stunning! The creamy floors and woodsy smells, it's always a treat to come here and there's so much to look at and buy. There's even a Christmas shop upstairs year round, where you can stock up on goodies ahead of time for Christmas. I'd say the value is pretty good, depending on what you're buying. Snacks, drinks, candy are all very affordable, but the souvenir and brand name products of course are higher up in price, which is to be expected. All in all, a wonderful place to stop by to grab a treat or bring home some gifts for family and friends. Highly recommend!!!

It had the aroma of books -- old books, to be precise. It's in a nondescript strip center and is very ordinary looking from the outside. It has a warehouse feel. Walking in, I could tell it wasn't what I was expecting -- a warehouse -- but more of a treasure trove of books, vinyl, DVDs, comic books, sheet music, and a few miscellaneous antiques. I can't say I figured out how it was set up, certainly by section, but there were hardcovers and paperbacks of many genre scattered. Or at least it seemed that way. Each section was roughly sorted alphabetically by author, so that made searching easier. I didn't see a lot of duplication in titles. I had only a limited amount of time before they closed. It was a kid-in-a-candy-store moment; too much to explore and limited to what I could grab in the short window of time I had available. It wasn't nearly enough to do the exploring I wanted. But, with that said, I did manage to pick up a couple of titles I haven't seen by authors I have and that was a win for me. As with most used bookstores, the price is about half of the cover price, except for the first edition, rare books, or collectibles. It's a good place to try out a new author or series without the financial commitment of a new bookstore; or if you want to try your luck with the comic books or vinyl. There's a separate display case of Elvis recordings and memorabilia -- this is Tennessee, after all, and I'd expect nothing less. Just a fun store all around.
