Once I contacted support to clear things up, they never replied to me. It seems like they scammed me. No way to get the books i ordered or a refund?

I've been to multiple stores looking for a specific funko pop! I actually found it at a Barnes and…read morenoble but they had wrapped in a spider security device so tightly around it the box was dented on all four sides! The person I was shopping for is a collector and it's important that the box be in perfect condition. I heard about Action Carts from a friend and then saw a post on Facebook. They had several of the one I was looking for! All in great condition! The staff were great and super helpful. Will definitely check this place out again!

My family and I visited Retro Games Plus while in the area. They have a variety of games,…read moremerchandise, cards, collectibles, and plushies. I believe that they also buy games from people. It's a good sized store. We walked in and browsed the aisles. One of my adult kids was looking for a specific card so we asked someone working there and he kindly told us where to look. Once at checkout I spoke with the friendly person working at the register. Overall Retro Games Plus was a cool place to stop. They have friendly staff and if you like checking out game choices and merchandise this is an option.

I love this place! So many new manga and artbooks. Everyone's always been nice and the place is…read morepacked. It's pretty pricey though - you can get things you might not see anywhere else but you'll definitely be paying extra for them. They have figurines and some blind boxes and other stuff too! Have been here a few times and will absolutely be back.

I love anime and I love anime merch…read more The things that I find at Animate are pretty 1:1 as you would find in Japan. They have a huge selection of merch by the series and they have tons of series covered. Unfortunately for me I feel that pretty much everything is expensive for what they are. Overall its a pretty neat place to go and do a walk through. Parking: large lot VERDICT: One and done

Highly recommend not ordering anything from this seller. I made an order in August for about six…read morecomic books. I messaged him once about it never shipping out. He asked for the order number which I sent and then I never got anything back. I messaged him again from a new email not kindly this time though. He did refund my order but this man has no intention of ever sending out what you order from him. He was so upset with me complaining about him and not receiving my order that he actually called the police in my neighborhood and had them do a welfare check on me. Honestly he's just a major pain in the ass.

Oh man, I absolutely LOVE this place!…read more Stumbled upon it through Free Comic Book Day (aka, Best Day, Ever!) Lots of fantastic sports memorabilia, the owner is super friendly and hooked us up with discounts (I'm a sucker for Macfarlane sports toys!). I'm not a comic book expert but I like their selection, lots of fun finds. This is the kind of place that you'll definitely miss when it's gone

You guys: cute. This is a good ole local used bookstore - the size, the smell, the employees. All…read moreof it. In the best way. I called to see if they had a particular book, which they did. Employee was kind enough to make sure it was actually on the shelf (and not just listed as available). When it was, she asked if I wanted her to hold it for me. When I came to the store, it was waiting right at the checkout. Also, I thought it was really reasonably priced. Could I have gotten it for like $3 on Amazon? Yeah, probably. But would I rather pay a couple more bucks to support a local business - and esp a local bookstore -? Absolutely. Full disclosure, I was in and out in just a couple minutes (quick service!) so didn't have time to poke around but I def wanna come back and spend more time. TLDR: Sandpiper Books rules, Amazon drools.

Just like young mins review I ordered something off the internet from him, off eBay. From the very…read morestart he was rude, accusatory and unhinged. I don't know what this guys problem is but he's a very angry person. I would recommend avoiding him at all cost. He sent me damaged goods then proceeded to deny me a refund and blame me for damaging it. He made many threats afterwards and would not stop sending me messages. Looks like not much has changed since his last negative review. I recommend avoiding at all costs. This is the nice version of my review because there is so much more I could say. Making this as a warning so no one else has to go through what I and others have gone through. Would also give a zero if I could.

This Book Off is amazing. Has great selection of manga, toy figurines, video games, books, and…read moremovies. I personally come here to sell stuff to get cash back and sometimes you can score back a lot (depends on the value and demand of what you are selling). My favorite part has to definitely be how you can get certain video games for a discount budget compared to other major retailers. Like some games that still sell for 59.99 you can find at this book off for a cool 40-45 plus taxes, which is neat.

Pretty cool store to look through. However, their DVD/Blu-Ray and CD prices are kind of ridiculous…read more Pretty much every used movie and music CD that I picked up was more expensive than just ordering brand new online. If it wasn't, it was still definitely above average online used pricing. Some random examples I can remember: - "Halo 3" Soundtrack CD with a dirty and beat-up case for $30. A quick look online and I can buy new and sealed copies for $28 with free shipping. - "You've Got Mail" Blu-Ray used for $15. You can buy this brand new online for $9.99 with free shipping. There were plenty other items that were the same story. Not sure what the logic is with their pricing, it really is terrible. The organization also isn't the best. I found many CD's or movies that were in the wrong section. The good news is that they have a pretty good, but small, clearance section. I believe it's $3 per Blu-Ray, $2 per DVD, and $1 per music CD. They have a pretty decent selection for clearance. Overall disappointed. If you're close by, it's worth checking out the clearance sections. If not, I'd avoid the trip. There are plenty of other local stores that sell physical media for normal prices.

This place is incredible. If you are a collector, or just a casual buyer, you are guaranteed to…read morefind something here and what's really cool is there is something for people of all ages and genders. Opened in 2021, and one of two locations, the other being up in the valley, they have a lot of great collectibles from many different decades and countries, and I saw many pieces from my childhood, which I am planning to go back and get, just figuring out which one I want to get first. The staff is also very friendly and was helpful in making decisions. There is also a large free parking lot attached right in front, so parking was super easy. They also have a very large NeeDoh, RMS, and squishy section as well. None of the fake dupes either. They have trading cards, Pokémon, vinyl blind boxes, and all sorts of things. They really do have a great selection and I can verify that pricing is fair. I have seen other shops around town that have asked more for the same items that they carry. I definitely plan to be back many times in the future and would recommend.

Tony and the crew are always amazing and fun to talk to even when i havent visited in weeks. Now they have added more to the shop which is great because they have more toys and retro games, and my all time Favorites Lego sets. They also carry an assortment of squishies of different brands and Pokemon cards which has expanded from old sets to recent sets. Prices are fair and found some lego sets that are about marlet price or lower which shocked me considering how old some sets are. Definitely go here if you want a good stuff at good prices.
