Wow. I was amazed at how many items they carry. Comics, games, trade paperbacks, models, etc. The…read moreplace is huge. My first time visiting and I was impressed with a comic store so close to Oldsmar. Also a good selection of comic supplies such as boxes, Mylar bags, backing boards, and more. Since my main concern was comics, I checked over their huge collections, very well organized. Also a fair stock of many Silver Age books. Since I am in the process of downsizing my 60+ year collection of mostly Golden Age and Silver Age, about the only things I am looking for is (1) an affordable Batman #1 (LOL) and a handful of EC comics from the 50s. But I came for a specific reason - to get a long box of comics to share with grandkids and mostly donate to the local USO. There is a whole wall of long box comics on sale for $1 individual, plus a long box of your choice for $75. One row across the top and another on the floor beneath. I spent about 90 minutes grazing through for appropriate books for service members and families, nothing PG or higher. The manager was very knowledgeable about comics and very helpful. I did bring my own long box to fill.

My bestie is a comic geek & we've been friends for over 30 years, so let's just say I've been…read moredragged to a lotttt of comic shops for many years. Don't live in Tampa, and this place I've never been to. And when we pulled up, lemme just say, I would NOT have entered solo. They ain't got no curb appeal, but a couple signs indicated, that yeah, they sell comics and stuff. lol Now when we entered... I held my breath. Amazing rows and isles of comics, comics, comics! It was clean, moody but not dusty, not too dark to read, enough room to walk thru, browse, and lose your wandering friend who's looking for their own stuff. I thought, oh well I guess I wont get action/comic figures in this spot, and nope, they had figures for sale too, plus t-shirts. I nodded as I walked through, impressed by it all. Staff seemed cool, talked to the regulars but there to help, or else let you browse without annoying you. When I got closer to the counter I saw at least 5 buckets of stickers! I sorted through those stickers for about 10 minutes. So I bought $39 worth of $1 stickers.... but enough about me... Go to this spot and get all you want or kinda need, and don't let the exterior fool you, they seem guaranteed to have all the stuff you're gonna want inside.

The only downside to this store is that it has a very strong smell of cigarettes. The old store smelled the same too. It's off putting buying something from this store when the cigarette smell is sooo strong. I was really hoping this would not be an issue when they moved stores. The air freshener does not cover up the smell guys. For the sake of your customers, maybe take the smokes outside?

How about posters? Yep those too. Stuffies, toys of all manner? Yeah they've got that stuff.

Brian, Robert, and Kirk care about their customers as much as their passion for their hobbies. They don't go for "the big sale". They take care to answer all your questions honestly. It's obvious when you speak with them, that they want you to be satisfied with your purchase and happy with your hobby. They want to earn your repeat business. They have mine. Started going 20+ years ago when Phil was still the owner, and Brian a "newbie". Now, I got into a new hobby, and Brian made sure I got the right start, by giving me honest opinions and helping me make an intelligent start, without a large investment. I had so much fun, I brought my son in, as well as a few co-workers who are all excited about their new hobbies. Brian and his staff helped me with replacement parts, and helpful suggestions, as I learned the ins and outs of the hobby. They even examined my equipment when I was having difficulty troubleshooting. Now I'm ready to go to the next level, and a larger investment in my newfound hobby. Brian was right there with invaluable information and offering to help with any questions I may have. I could have purchased through some online store, but I will always go to Phil's first, before purchasing elsewhere. Far too many businesses don't understand the value of good customer service and building relationships. The folks at Phil's Hobby Shop sure do - without a doubt. I refuse to go anywhere else, and I recommend them at every opportunity. I urge you to support your local hobby shop before making that online purchase. You won't regret it.
