This place is SO COOL!!…read more My fiancé and I love stopping by regularly to see what's new in store. The guys here are the absolute coolest and have been so helpful, and the amount of awesome merch crammed into this place is INSANE. From board games and their accessories to giant superhero statues, they have it all. We've purchased almost all of our comic books here, several Pokémon and One Piece cards/packs, plushies, and a few figures from them. Their layaway plan is super reasonable and made it possible for us to bring home one of our largest figures, J. Scott Campbell's Alice, to date. I HIGHLY recommend this place if you haven't already visited. This place is an experience, and I'd be absolutely shocked if you can't find what you're looking for.

I visit and revisit small places all the time because you never know, but this place I wont because it wasn't very welcoming. Give it a shot though, you never know if people have what you're looking for!

One day I stopped by this store just to check it out. I was pleasantly surprised to find a very…read morewell organized comic book store packed with back issues. I've been collecting comics for over 30 years and it is great to find a small comics shop that simply just sells comics. Plenty of titles all labeled and categorized. Wall books and variants for those display collections. New comics also available. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable about how to find anything you're searching to collect. The prices are also very favorable to the wallet. I will definitely be stopping by again to help fill in those run gaps.

Even though the board game library wasn't very big, the games available had great options. There is a ton of interesting/vintage gear, but not too much in the way of new board games for sale. Also the play area is typical of a game shop and definitely sufficient but not up to the new standard set for San Antonio at Knight Watch Games. Bottom Line: I'd be back for a welcoming gaming environment and a small but might game library.

They provide top-tier knowledge, ensuring you get accurate information and value for those rare finds. They offer a wonderful mix of comics, music, and conversation, making it more than just a shop--it's a community hub for like-minded individuals to connect. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting, Nelco has a strong collection and helps build community. Stop by this Downtown San Antonio spot!

This place is so neat!…read more Court of Gamers is absolutely packed with so many things to see and do. A dry erase board at the front by the register has a calendar of upcoming events to look forward to, and when you round the corner you'll see just how much this place has to offer. Board games and their accessories, plushies and candles, and several places to play D&D campaigns and other tabletop games fill the space in its entirety. It was so neat to see everyone there having a good time playing games together while perusing through all the neat stuff. I'd definitely like to return to support this shop! It looks like they had a sign-up sheet for D&D beginners, so I might see if I can join a campaign there sometime!

I tried using the website listed on fb but it doesnt work so i wont add it to their information. Ive only been here twice so i cant say much about the place or people other than having its fixed group of known players and helpful staff its what you expect from a place that mainly procures and sells magic the gathering cards. https://www.facebook.com/gamerzpairadice/info?tab=overview Some snacks and drinks are available for purchase (more than some places but less than others). Not sure on the policy for outside food, id suggest calling to ask. I never used the restrooms so i cant say how clean or nice they are but the rest of the place is upkept as far as i could tell. Next door to a busy chinese restaurant, it can be hard to get parking during other suites business hours but once 10pm hits most of the lot is empty. I hate trying to leave from this location, the entrance/exit is small and awkwardly placed so that driving with other cars trying to come and go is not viable. You might get stuck here for a bit if you want to turn left going out, id recommend just right turning and make a turn around the next business strip up which has a much larger parking lot to maneuver.

Plenty of room, a separate snack bar/eating area, air conditioning (we definitely weren't sweltering here), and just an overall beautiful building. Five dollars got you a ticket for prize giveaways and a blue band to get in and out as frequently as you would like throughout the day. Of course the time you spent at the show depended on if you were really looking for that CGC 9.9 Walking Dead #1 that sold for $10,000 on eBay recently or basically going through and seeing what was randomly available. The sellers were nice even when you weren't interested in anything or just browsing. I never felt pressured. But I did buy three ***STUNNING*** drawings by artist Tracy Watkins (I haven't had time to add the pics but I will as soon as I'm able to.). He even signed them for us too. :D Parking was not much of a challenge since attendees were in almost constant turnover. This was an afternoon well spent!
