Their prices are pretty standard across most NYC comic shops. But, I find their service to be their hallmark. On so many occasions, staff has gone out of their where to look for a book I couldn't find, grab me something I missed while I'm checking out, and just offer a warm and positive attitude while I'm there. I think this is a solid shop and I always recommend it to people looking for comics in NYC.

If they don't have it, they'll know where to find it. Prices are reasonable and the selection is massive. Great service, very knowledable - I'd shop here every week if I lived in NYC. A definite must-visit if you're a sci-fi/comics/fantasy collectibles fan.

Great selection of figures, singles and card products.

They're selling for $25 a pack. Bulk singles no matter the market price are $1, and full arts start at $5. Almost paid $5 for a $2 card, and ended up paying $5 for about $0.90 worth of cards. I would definitely recommend doing due diligence before buying anything here.

Cool store to browse and has a lot of unique items you do not normally see elsewhere. The layout is…read moreclean, products are well displayed, and it is easy to spend time looking around. That said, the prices felt pretty steep for many of the items being sold. While there were some interesting finds, it was hard to justify the cost on a lot of them. Worth stopping in if you are already in the area and enjoy browsing specialty shops, but I found myself admiring more than buying. Overall, a fun visit, just a bit overpriced for what it offers.

As a blind box enthusiast, It's nice to find a store that has blind boxes for different characters. The space is a bit small so be mindful of others when browsing through thr store.

Remarkable and powerhouse store for your ups and downs of the collectible craze hitting market…read moretrends these days. The storeowners are always friendly and helpful--they even let you trade your opened blindbox if they have a sample open. This makes buying them much more stomachable. The assortment and variety changes all the time--one week i may stop by and not find anything tickling my fancy, another week I may drop by and find too many things I want to take home! You can sometimes call in on days they're closed to ask if you can visit upon appointment (they may be restocking, etc) and can accommodate if conditions are right, which I thought was a nice touch. There's a small section in the store that has seating so you can open your new toys on the spot and celebrate with glee or the gloom of disappointment if you don't get your favorite. The store is not huge nor tiny and so you could spend anywhere from 15-30 minutes looking at everything. There's generally much variety, but stock can be limited. They offer cheaper blindboxes realistically starting at $6 (cheapest I've noticed), to more expensive artisan collabs (up in the hundreds). So great place to take yourself on a date or pick out a gift for a friend healing their inner child. If you like this place, there's a Japanese stationary store right down the street too--I like to hit up the toy store and then take a stroll down the street to giddy myself up with more goodies as well over at Yoseka Stationary. Overall--I think this place beats out all the others when it comes to their variations and assortment of blindboxes, and the constantly rotating stock of what's in and available (more than just smiskis, sonny angels, labubus, hironos, popmart, etc).

This is a place to dig for so be prepared to search but they are so helpful and have a vast selection of anything you could possibly want.

A hidden gem comic book/trading card store located in Brooklyn under the F train line. You'll need…read moreto ring the bell to get in but once inside you'll feel like a kid inside of a candy store. Literally there are soooo many comics in here (maybe even a million?). Long boxes full of older and newer comic books (rarer ones are behind the counter). It can get a bit overwhelming since there's soo much to go through but I could literally stay there for hours digging through them. There is nothing fancy or anything inside. Strictly comic books, sport cards, and action figures (although I saw some old game cartridge in the back). This is owned by an older couple who have been doing this before some of you were even born. Ended up scooping up a few comic books that i wanted as a kid. Prices are fair as well. Highly recommend checking this gem out and support their business.

I feel the prices were very reasonable, even though I saw some comments about people saying the books are overpriced.

Buying and Selling at Book Off What a cool store. So much to…read moresee. Unfortunately, it is lousy to sell at and expensive to buy at. First, Selling. I brought in three statue items unopened in the original packaging. I checked on ebay for what the items sold for (not asking price but sold price) and it added up to about $600, I lugged the items over there and had to leave them there because they wouldn't get to them right away. The people/kids working there were very nice. I went to have lunch and got the text to return, and they are offering $150. So I picked up the items and turned down the offer. Again, they were very nice, it's just I wasn't willing to accept 25% of the value. I figured at worst it would be 50%. But I am better off getting closer to the actual price on ebay. Now, Buying. Lots of very expensive and exiting things to get, and I didn't have time to price check things so much, but my son is into the Nintendo switch and i spotted a used Marvel VS Capcom game he might like. It was $34.95. But just in case, I pulled up Amazon and looked the game up. A brand new one costs $21.79. So it would have been a terrible idea for me to buy it there. I guess if you are leaving work and need a quick gift, you might stop in and pay too much for an item. If you are in real trouble and don't have time to wait for an Ebay sale, you might consider selling your collectables for 25% the value, this place might come in handy.

Also they have cats that roam free, and you can smell it and watch for poop.
