I've moved hundreds of miles away since then, and I was happy to stumble across the posting online. It's sad that the shop was forced to move from Village Gate, but that place didn't have the magic it used to have back then anyway. I distinctly remember wandering over to the Yankee Peddler bookshop, staring at the used books I couldn't afford, and then wandering over to Comics Etc in order to buy my weekly stash. I never was a true regular--sometimes I'd come in Wednesday, sometimes Friday--but I remember I'd rarely be able to wait until I got home to read the comics, instead poring through the most recent cliffhangers in the parking lot. What collection I have is primarily due to Comics Etc. It makes me happy to know you guys are still around making others happy as well.

He explained some of inventory was in boxes due to returning from a convention, but he would look into it. He sent a picture to the manager who confirmed they had the item and he went into the boxes to grab it for us. He really made a huge difference for us, as this was the only thing our 7 year old wanted for their birthday. The employee was so helpful in answering any questions we had and made our experience pleasant. The selection at the store is great and we enjoyed browsing the variety of products.

If we start with merchandise, you can find almost anything you could be looking for.

The selection is huge and regularly changing. It can be a bit hard to find older anime/manga merch but as of yesterday I was able to find some Trigun(1997) items which I thought was fun! If you or your children like Pokémon, you're in for a treat!! The staff knows so much about everything!! Each of them are the human Wikipedia of their favorite genres. It's so refreshing to be able to ask if they know something like --- and be directed to something you will love! They are welcoming and warm, if you have questions don't hesitate to ask. You will be helped and educated! The atmosphere is comfortable! You don't have to worry about feeling out of place, this place is welcoming to all. The TV in the front is always playing a different anime which is a cool way to find new anime's to watch! My husband and I started playing in the Pokémon and Final Fantasy card tournaments just recently and everyone is so warm it's wonderful. We instantly felt welcomed. If you like Anime, Manga, international TV/Movies I'd highly suggest going!

The store may be small but it is jam packed with items, many of them Star Wars from across the ages. Additionally they have Funko Pops, and other random figures that included Transformers, Stargate, Seaquest and more. A few of these figures I didn't know existed but had loved the movies and series and many of the Star Wars pieces I don't recall seeing when I was young. I was greatly surprised by the prices, most of everything was decently priced for their condition and had i not been in my senses I could easily go astray here. If you are a lover of sci-fi, horror, classic cartoons, and more I'd highly recommend checking out this store.

Just Games is located in a large strip plaza in Penfield, and can be a bit tricky to find if you're not familiar with the area (i.e. me). However, once inside, it feels like you've left the hustle and bustle of the plaza behind. The manager (owner?) of the store was super nice and showed me a few things in the store, gave me their normal schedule of events, and made sure to introduce himself and get my name as well. I purchased some sleeves for one of my games and signed up for their free customer rewards program. As well as having your normal Magic the Gathering cards and supplies, the store boasts a large collection of tabletop games and accessories. Newer titles were on the shelf as well as plenty of expansions and other goodies. The store itself has a large collection of games that customers are welcome to open up and play while in the shop, and if desired, rented out for a small fee. This was probably the highlight of my visit. I tried out a couple new games and made mental notes of the games I wanted to come back and play/rent. Despite living about 75 miles away, I fully plan on taking a trek back out here to join a game night and meet some new people, learn new games, and enjoy what this shop has to offer.

Magic: The Gathering players beware!…read more Singles: the prices here are terrible, the store credit for trade-ins is minimal compared to other local stores. I've witnessed the ponytailed owner trying to rip off children for major tournament staples. I was once asked to leave when interrupting the man trying to give 40$ store credit for a 160$ card (Aether Vial from Kaladesh) by informing the 8-10 year old child of the card's true value. Events: not very competitive, but the payouts are unusually low- more for the store! I have been to multiple events where the prize structure was advertised one way online and then lowered in person. I have been to special promo events where the prizes were set by the manufacturer and the store chose to keep product for itself by altering the payout structure. This is somewhere between dishonesty and theft, considering tournaments cost money to enter. Do not support this business.
