As someone who both collects sealed product seriously and also buys casually across retro and…read moremodern collectibles, I had a frustrating experience here that ultimately comes down to consistency in how products are treated. GameForce clearly understands the collectible market when it comes to retro video games. Pricing reflects condition, rarity, and demand in a way that aligns with how secondary markets function, and I don't have an issue with that. That approach makes sense for collectible inventory. However, the handling of Pokémon products feels fundamentally inconsistent with that same logic. In my experience, factory shrink wrap is removed prior to sale. While the contents inside may still be untouched, sealed condition is a major factor in both collector value and authenticity for these types of products. From a collector standpoint, sealed packaging is not just packaging--it is part of the product's condition and long-term value. Once that seal is removed, the item is no longer in a verifiable factory-sealed state, which changes how it is viewed in the secondary market. What makes this more noticeable is the contrast: the store clearly participates in condition-based pricing and scarcity-driven value in one category, while actively altering condition in another. Even if the intention is to discourage scalping or bulk buying, the effect is still a reduction in collectible integrity from a collector's perspective.

He made sure I knew to use a different plug than what came with it. I then asked what the "Nintendo Family Computer" was behind him. He then showed me an original famicom Nintendo Family Computer and explained how it's the upgraded version of (that) He then showed me the top loader American Nintendo that came out around the same time,looked similar. He then told me those need a different plug than they come with and that Japanese plugs work in American outlets, but they are higher voltage so can damage the Famicom (either one) Then he sold me two plugs because I needed them, for the future AV famicom. I would have bought the one he had but a customer was coming back for it from the bank. I don't have the pictures I took because I couldn't get help with my (potentially) bricked phone, because the Xfinity store I went to threw me out after berating their own employee who apparently had diabetes and said "don't help this guy, he has autism" because of my Autism Awareness Captain Crunch whistle. I am glad there are helpful stores like Doc's where they respect people.

Movies that are specialized here are more cult classics, grindhouse and exploitative type films but wow, oh wow... what a selection. I don't think I have seen anything like this since the 90's. The lady that worked here was super awesome and sweet and knew all about Scarecrow Video, a nonprofit movie rental store and perhaps the last surviving one in Seattle and Movie Madness which is similar in Portland, Oregon so that just upped the coolness factor considerably. Some of these DVD's that are on sale here are pretty rare and the price reflects that on some of them. Some of the Maniac Cop movies I was looking at weren't exactly standard DVD prices. But I suppose it's justified since these are DVD's of films that are really, quite hard to reach in some cases. I bought a DVD, the first Maniac Cop and took it home to marvel at but I will definitely be coming back for sure next time I visit the Denver area. You can spend a considerable amount of time going through the selection and find a whole bunch of films that you haven't heard of before and discover new ones with a story or concept you would take an interest to in adding to your DVD collection at home.

Heck they even have Blade in a few of them which I was excited for. I believe the whole store was discounted 10 or 20% as well. I've been there before and was treated well by the employees as the customer service was stupendous I'm all about supporting the local establishments but today I was a bit put off. They hold a raffle and for each customer transaction you received a couple of raffle tickets. One for today and one for a later day. Well I made my purchase and my nephew found something else as we were walking out the door. We stood in line and made another purchase. I wasn't given a ticket and asked for one and was told by the dark haired lady behind the counter that today was only one ticket per customer not per transaction and dismissed me. I don't see the difference between today or Any other day. My money is green and credit cards are plastic every day. If it's because of the specials at least they made 80% of the sale then nothing at all.

Having studied the Russian language as a minor in college, I was intrigued by all of the matryoshka dolls in the window! Don't let the small outside entrance scare you, there are a ton of russian books of various genres in here. They also have an extensive and enormous section of children's books. Several huge shelves chock full of fun books for kids of all ages and board books for babies too! There are also lots of videos, posters, calendars, greeting cards, playing cards, postcards, and more!! The woman behind the counter was really friendly and helpful and even called her manager at home to ask her a question for me about something in the store. Definitely a cool place for those who treasure the Russian culture and written word!

I mostly frequent the Brass Armadillo and some shops on Colfax, and admittedly didn't know this gem was waiting for me in Aurora. We went on a Saturday late-morning, and were greeted cheerfully and with an excellent explanation of the store. We were offered help as we browsed the locked cases upstairs, and we ambled the huge sprawling basement footprint as well. The sheer size of this place was impressive. There are a variety of item types (records, costume jewelry, taxidermy, kitchen goods, clothing, upcycled decor, etc.) and aesthetic styles, so really something for everyone. We found some particularly fun vendors in the basement. It felt like it could be easy to get carried away here, in the best possible way. Currently, many (most?) of the vendors have a holiday discount in place too, and we managed to walk away with some well priced treasures. Definitely stop by if you like the thrill of the hunt, and I'm confident the folks at Heirlooms Antique Mall will take care of you.

It may look like just another store front among other businesses from bustling Havana St, but I can assure you, it's more than what meets the eye. I was introduced to this spot via a Yelp event and have been back every single year ever since because inside the two massive levels, are some of the most unique antiques, vintage finds and interesting pieces - yet to be discovered! Various collectors and vintage sellers alike, sell odds and ends throughout the space. Upon entry, it can be overwhelming, but the friendly faces at the front are quick to assist - aka provide directions, sale options and open any cases you may need access to. Very helpful and friendly, indeed! My husband and I ventured here to look around and easily spent 2 hours looking at each booth, finding things that piqued our interest and ended up coming home with us! It's almost impossible to get see it all, so when you see something you like, snag it, because it may not be there again! Inventory turns over fast! Worth a stop in!!
