Compared to most of the people I hang out with, I am an epic nerd, however, compared to many of the…read morepeople who will get giddy about Nerdities, I am simply a casual geek-culture observer. With that in mind, this is definitely a venue aimed at a particular group, but it certainly shouldn't make others feel shy about visiting. There is fun to be had for all. I first visited Nerdities at a Yelp Elite event during the gallery opening but have since visited on my own. I don't know if Nerdities is truly a different business than Mythical Mountain Comics but they are connected and appear to be just a different arm of the same business. Nerdities in a nut-shell is an "art gallery" of geek-culture inspired art and decor. When I went the first time I expected it to feel a bit more like an art gallery and less like a pop-culture store but definitely doesn't exactly fit the feel of a traditional art gallery. There are some very cool prints and sculptures to be had and everything is at very reasonable prices but I have to admit that I missed some of the high-end art that I expected. The few artists represented here have some neat stuff but very few items were limited editions or original pieces. If I am going to buy art I tend to prefer something that has a limited run or is an original work. I would have liked to see some well-known artists represented here that do stuff in the nerd world like Greg Guillemin, Olly Moss, Butcher Billy, or Mike Mitchell. There are also a ton of local artists that do some really geeky high-end stuff that could be represented as well. I do love the fact that once you are done on the artsy side you can just head over to Mythical Mountain and get your fill of comic stuff and toys. This place is definitely worth a visit.

We planned to be in Mandarin over the weekend so I suggested be stop in at Mythical Mountain while…read morewe were out that way. If you love comics and pop culture in general, you really need to stop by this store. We try to stop in whenever we're over in Mandarin. While I've never been big into comic books, I've always loved pop culture collectibles. I know they can't carry everything in store but every time we're in there I'm amazed by how much they do have on hand. Sure, there are huge online stores that you can order tons of things from but like always, I'd rather support a local Jacksonville business if at all possible. Especially if it's a place I've received great customer service from before and that's the case with Mythical Mountain. We've called ahead before when we were looking for gifts and had them remember the call hours later when we got to the store and helped us find the perfect gift. I took a few pics to share but I still don't think it gives you a good idea of how much stuff they have in the store. I didn't find anything I wanted to pick up today but my wife found a Mick Foley action figure that she bought for herself, so that's a win for America. If you needed any further proof of the level of customer service and care they provide, you don't really need to look further than the most recent post I made about them in the the Jacksonville Fun, Eats & Drinks Facebook group. I posted a recap of our most recent visit in the group and mentioned the part you just read about how I didn't find anything then I mentioned that I need to call them some time to see if they can get their hands on one of the Michael Jackson figures made by Blitzway because they seem like the type of store that might be able to get that type of thing. Then I went on to say that even if they can't get it, I'd still rather try if I can go through a local place first before somewhere online. Within minutes, the store owner left a comment asking me to send her a DM with information on what I'm looking for to see if she can help. See what I mean? You can't get that kind of customer service from any online store, no matter how big and bad they are... If you like stuff like this, stop in at Mythical Mountain in Mandarin some time. Even if collectables or comics aren't your thing, I bet you could find a gift for someone you know at this store with ease. As I mentioned, a version of this post originally appeared in the Jacksonville Fun, Eats & Drinks Facebook group.

The guy never said anything about the car having a clutch. I went to get some help and they offered none. They instead, started insulting me telling me to learn to drive a car. I did not get to finish my current race, start my next race or even get any kind of refund. I hope they appreciate my $10 donation. I would not recommend this business to anyone.

We enter and the sales people greet us with a loud hello and smile. My niece even gets a hug from Jessie. We love to visit the adorable puppets in the middle of the store then break away to cover our favorites. From glow in the dark slime, to stuffed unicorns, to charms, jewelry, games, kites, coloring books and so on... we make our way throughout the store and choose items Aidan can earn by doing her chores, eating vegetables, and brushing her teeth. (I don't know if it's good parenting to bribe children by offering gifts to do things they should do. However, I am an Aunt, so I get a pass on best parenting practices.) Even if we don't buy anything, we love to hang out in the store and look at all the toys. If you are taking a child to a San Marco movie in the afternoon; I suggest a movie followed by a visit to the toy store, then lunch at the loop, ending with a visit to one of the parks in the area. It works for us.

If you're into collectibles or novelty items, they definitely have a variety to choose from.

A lot of clearance items and sales I'll the wall. There were visible stains on the carpet, and some of the snacks looked like they might have been out of date. It's understandable that with the rise of digital media, it can be hard to sell DVDs, Blu-rays, and music CDs, though they do have a decent selection of vinyl records if that's your thing. Overall, it's a solid place to find unique gifts, but the atmosphere could definitely use some attention.

I remember when record stores use to be all over place and nowadays, you just don't see them anymore. Almost every time hubby and I are at the OP Mall, we wander in here to take a look around. It's really great to browse through all the CDs, etc. they have. The new CDs generally cost more than they do at other places, but they do have some good prices on older CDs. Same thing with the DVDs and Blurays - they tend to be about $5 more than other places. Sometimes we'll pick one up though if we're really wanting it and we're not in the mood to stop by Best Buy on the way home. They also have other really cool items in here like the life-size standup poster of Daryl from The Walking Dead! I really wish I would have bought that thing now when I first saw it cause now it's gone. Waaaaaa. The one they have in the store now is Peta from The Hunger Games. I do love The Hunger Games, but Peta is no Daryl. Employees here are friendly and if you ask for assistance they are happy to give it, but for the most part, they just leave you alone and let you browse around. I do like that. I hate employees that follow me around asking if they can help every 2 seconds. Great store. Stop by .... especially if you haven't been in a record store in a while.
