    The Collector's Kid has an online shop through WhatNot as well as a brick & mortar store in St…read moreCharles. The inside is very well organized and has a bit of everything (toys, cards, funko pops, etc). I visited to look at their funko pop selection and was thoroughly impressed by their variety of pops and quantity of selection. They had pops ranging from sports, tv shows, marvel, disney, anime, horror, and more. Most items were commons but they had some more rare, graded, and signed items near the main counter. The pricing was a little above market value but it's always cool to see certain pops in person. They were running a "buy two, get one free" on pops under $50 which helps on pricing!

    This place is exactly what's wrong with many collecting hobbies. Yea, the selection here is pretty…read moregood. That's mostly because the prices are terrible--worse than eBay and Facebook marketplace scalpers. Case in point: there's a pokemon illustrated set that just came out. It's $17. You can still get lucky at retailers and it'll be restocked. Here, just 2 days after launch, they're selling for $50. Just nuts. I guess it's clear this isn't a "card shop," it's a scalpers storefront. Don't go here looking for Lorcana--guessing the margins are too low. Except for their singles, which they sell for $2-4....crazy pricing for Lorcana. Anyways, i won't be back. Will have to continue my search for a card shop that's ethical and somewhat reasonable. --------- Edit in response to business reply: 1) i agree conversation could go a long way. But when your pricing on a brand new Pokémon set (which doesn't have a set market yet) is already 3x MSRP, what productive conversation can happen? It's just a straight up gouge. I'm not naive to expect to get everything at MSRP, but i think 3x markup 2 days post launch is unreasonable. 2) i did ask about Lorcana. I was told you "don't carry much" and "didn't have any right now." 3) you seem to be implying that you're aware prices are high and can then be negotiated lower. If that's how you want to do it that's your prerogative, just understand that's offputting for new customers. It's hard to want to establish a relationship and have a conversation when the first impression is being taken advantage of. And when your response to pricing questions is "well the hobby is thriving!" I don't think that's off base.

    Let's start with a side note-- this is my 100th Yelp review! How exciting! I wanted to save it for…read moresomeplace that was unique and spoke to me. Well, this place fits the bill well. Now, onto the review... It's worth the long drive to Dekalb for a chance to stop into The Gaming Goat. A gem in the historic downtown area of Dekalb, this is a store you must check out when you're in the area. They stock a variety of fun, creative, unique, wacky and intelligent board games that you won't see in big chain stores. Seeing these games in person is a huge benefit to gamers, because you get a better feel for these independently produced games. The interior is pretty nice and there's plenty of space inside to browse or play, if you're there for an event. Besides the large stock of board games, they also offer a good number of events. What stood out to me when I was in there last was their Pokemon League. (They're big on Pokemon and even- at the time of this writing- let you pick a small Pokemon figure up free of charge if you check in to the shop and show them the offer. Sadly, I forgot to pick up my 'check in' Pokemon. Next time!) They also had a Family Game Night on their calendar-- If I lived closer, I would totally check it out! It seems like a great way to spend a few hours with the family. The Gaming Goat goes out of its way to make you feel appreciated, going so far as to have free water bottles out during large town events like Corn Fest. Going the extra mile like that definitely makes The Gaming Goat stand out among other gaming stores. If you're in the area, give this place a looksie!

    This store has always had a great selection of products including rarities that are in high demand.read more
