Sign up for the free shopper card. You earn points in the gift shop and restaurant. A cashier told me that you get more "bang for your buck" if you spend the credit earned in the gift shop. The gift shop is huge. There are two entrances. Make a plan to meet your family before you go downstairs. We had spotty cell service and could only text in the gift shop. There are so many items available. This is a perfect place to Christmas shop and buy gifts for everyone. Every category and price point is covered. I bought charms for $1 with names and inspirational words. There were toys, games, doll houses & furniture, clocks, sayings, clothes, sports items covering the surrounding states/teams, slippers, T-shirts and many things for pet lovers. There was a beautiful quilt area with hand crafted blankets, covers, place mats and so much more. From giant light house statues to tiny smooth gem rocks, this place has you covered! This is one of the best places to get a unique treasure or gift.

After eyeing this place for a long time, we finally got the chance to stop on a return trip to…read morePittsburgh from New Jersey. I first learned of Shady Maple from a video online, and have wanted to stop for a few years. Our travels lined up with their hours, and we were able to stop on a Tuesday evening about a month ago. I did not realize the restaurant also had a gift shop, so we made a quick visit after finishing a meal at the buffet. Wow - this gift shop is huge! You could spend hours in here shopping around. There was all kinds of things, from t-shirts, other clothing, collectibles, and Shady Maple specific merchandise. The shop was closing at 8, and I did not get down there until about 10 minutes before the close, but I would've spent a good amount of time looking around otherwise. The staff were all very kind, and provided great service. They asked if I needed anything and were friendly at the checkout. I collect magnets, so I try to get a location-specific one anywhere I go on a trip. I was hoping to get a Shady Maple magnet, and I found one. They only had the one kind in the clip, but there were multiple colors. I chose the green, and also got a cool magnet showcasing Lancaster County. I thought the prices were reasonable, as I only spent $10.58, with tax, on the two magnets. Next time I come, I will definitely budget more time to look around this massive shop. I hope they stock a wider selection of magnets in the future for me to peruse!

He gave me attitude about a 2 dollar discount saying you do this a lot. Every other card shop I've been to sell according to comps and will adjust to some level based off comps. To get attitude for 2 dollars is ridiculous! I won't be back.

They had an incredible variety of sports cards and Pokémon cards for sale. My son is an avid collector and he got a great deal on a Pokémon card set. I can't recommend these guys enough.

This store is in fact, a part of our engagement story, as my husband used Lego from Brick Heads in his proposal to me. I always love seeing the variety of new and old sets. My husband was able to replace some older sets I like that they have individual pieces, animals and minifigures, as sometimes I see something I want that comes in a set, but I do not want to buy the entire set. More often than not, I get sucked into their build a minifigure table. The staff are always friendly, welcoming and very helpful. They make us feel like old friends and I always enjoy coming. I would recommend this store to anyone, as they have a lot of variety and something for everyone at any price point.

Small little shop with so few parking spots near a very busy main road. The parking situation was a bit of a headache especially trying to back out and leave. We were greeted by a friendly person at the register and were amazed by all the legos that were put together sitting in the windows. That kinda was the best part of the trip here. Big Eiffel Tower and Star Wars ships already put together. The Legos they were selling g ranged from really old sets to maybe a few newer ones but honestly all I saw was old dingy boxes that to me were way over priced. I honestly didn't want to touch anything cause of the dust/dirt on the boxes. But my daughter seemed to enjoy it. There was an area of the store where you can build your own little Lego figurines. It was like build 3 for $11 or something like that for these tiny figurines. My daughter ended up doing 3 and made these cute ones of me and her. She also ended up buying a super man and spider man Lego figurine that was on one of the walls. Maybe I didn't get the concept of the store- because I'm older or who knows but all that matters is my daughter had fun making her few figurines. After we left I asked her what she thought about the store- she said it was just okay, nothing special but she did like making her own Lego things. I'd give it 3 stars because it definitely was a store that was different.

Golden Eagle Comics & Games since my last review has moved out of the mall and into a complex in…read morethe former Malls parking lot, next to Schuylkill Valley Sports. Parking can be a minor issue, as the parking lot in front of the shop is a dead end, and it it's full you will need to turn around and park in the mall parking lot next to the shop. Shop is reasonably large, but not as big as the old location. Has a fair new pull and wall book selection. Longbox selection is good, with a few cheap boxes spread around the shop. Toys and collectibles are light. Golden Eagle seems to concentrate now on Magic: The Gathering with a somewhat large selection. During my stop, a Magic tournament was ongoing, making the shop a little crowded. There is additional gaming space in the back, separate from the main shop. Employees were helpful during my visit, answering several questions. Overall, I'd call this shop a 3.5, but rounding it up to a 4, and worth a stop.

I typically like to visit comic shops when I visit an area. So for this reason, I drove to…read morefairgrounds mall to visit this shop. The selection seems to be ok if not a little on the conventional side. There are tons of tables everywhere in the back which immediately told me this store is much more dedicated to the Magic geeks than the comic geeks, like me. This is a real turn off for me as these types of shops usually support more of the card business in this day. More money in that, I guess. So when I asked the counter monkeys for certain non big two books, they looked at me like I spoke a different language. So that confirmed my card thoughts. Bottom line is, this is a Magic store first that just happens to have a large inventory of comic back issues. They clearly do well with their card tournament because they are still open in a lightly travelled mall. The service seems friendly enough and probably knows a ton about Magic cards. Maybe they lack the comic knowledge. If you want Marvel or DC or Magic cards and live near the mall, this might be a decent option. Otherwise, I might try the store in town. They seem to know comics a little better.

After checking out the card store, we saw a game store on the other side of the building. Since we…read morehad already parked we decided to check it out. Entrance is a little tricky to get too so park on the side near the card store and walk around to the front of the building. Upon entering we were greeted with a HUGE selection of games, everything from NES to current Xbox, PS5 and Switch. Even had some cabinet games you could try out. Behind the counter they had some harder to find titles and some tables between rows was like a mini nerd yard sale with figures, books, crafts, etc. Husband picked up a gunpla model kit from 1980s, I got pokemon pinball for my game boy and some DS games I had been looking for. Price wise was about what I expected for what I got, seemed about middle of the road. On the left side of the building is a DVD section and fairly expansive comic book selection. Husband looked over what they had but nothing really stood out, we mostly came for the retro games. Guy behind the counter was super helpful and friendly, answering any questions we had about their stock and condition of the games. If we're in the area I plan on stopping back in and seeing what new stock they have on hand.
