Snacks are available (thanks for the $1 water!!!) and they have clean bathrooms. Everyone was super friendly and now I have a whole list of new games I want to purchase.

Many others in the area will buy card games from the manufacturer then sell at inflated prices to squeeze all value out of a set. Pair o Dice doesn't do this and it's quite admirable. For example, earlier today, I went to two closer stores and was told a box of Avatar MTG cards was over $210 ($174 on Amazon) then I went to Pair o' Dice and bought it at $180. I'll gladly support a local gaming shop that supports their customers and doesn't see us as sponges to squeeze. Good job, Pair o Dice. I will be back.

Mehdi was super patient and personable while I picked out cards and I felt welcomed the whole time. When I got home that evening, I noticed one of the cards had a minor defect and the store was more than happy to hear me out and make sure I was satisfied and taken care of. When I stopped back in Eric and Mehdi were amazing in helping me and making sure I left satisfied. Other than the awesome customer service, they have a huge selection of singles from various card games like One Piece, Magic, Pokemon and so on as well as tons of sealed product as well and the prices are very fair. Highly recommend stopping in and supporting this store if you live in the area.

When we walked in, I was initially struck by how friendly the workers were. There were several children in the shop and they were so enthusiastic, kind, and helpful to the questions, comments, and stories the children were sharing. My husband had a great time browsing the comic book aisles while my toddler enjoyed picking out a little book fos us to read at home (over, and over, and over again!). My elementary school aged kid loved all the little toys and we couldn't resist purchasing a cute banana cat trinket to hang on her backpack. Aside from being family friendly, Gaming Giant are huge supporters of the Pokemon Club that is held at my child's school. They donate tons of toys, collectibles, and cards that are raffled off at every meeting. I love a business that stands behind community. Instead of purchasing Pokemon cards at Target, I'll be grabbing at this locally-run store instead!

This store is big and it might be a bit intimidating but everyone that is staff here has been extremely friendly. The emphasis on community is strong here where I was welcomed and I was asked if they could help me look for any specific product. Like any card store, the prices depend on what you are willing to pay for said item. I do think their prices are fair and while it's not MSRP, it beats having to deal with the frustration of not being able to obtain product from a brick & mortar. But take this with a grain of salt; you are shopping from one place that has it all and you don't have to wait in line waiting to be informed that the stock is out. Overall, I think the only downside is the parking; it's limited and it's inconvenient to have to park at another store's front to walk to the store you want to go to but it is what it is. Check this place out if you like Cards!

A $70 price increase turned a happy evening with my 11-year-old son into an experience neither of…read moreus will forget. My son and I were longtime customers of Blowout Cards' The Fantastic Store. We spent thousands of dollars there and genuinely loved visiting to open trading cards and enjoy our shared hobby. Unfortunately, our experience on September 30, 2026, changed everything. Two visits earlier, the sports section manager had scoffed and called me a "rude person" when I entered the store. I ignored the remark and continued shopping. Later, he told me words to the effect of, "There are a million other stores you can go to." I had not initiated a conversation with him. On September 30, another employee indicated that a football card my son wanted cost $170. The sports section manager intervened, took the card, and increased the price by approximately $70, remarking along the lines of, "Oopsy, looks like we forgot to mark it up." My son independently remembered both the comment and its unpleasant tone. When I questioned the increase, rather than addressing the transaction, the manager began discussing unrelated private matters in front of my 11-year-old son, other employees, and customers. He also acknowledged having complained about me to his girlfriend. What makes this especially upsetting is that I had already stopped engaging personally with this employee approximately three months earlier. Our previous conversations had been voluntary and occurred openly on the sales floor. I had been keeping to myself, minding my own business, and simply shopping with my son. If the employee had concerns about our previous interactions, he could have addressed them respectfully and privately. Instead, he introduced those matters during an unrelated purchase. I found this humiliating, deeply inappropriate, and frankly repulsive. During the confrontation, he walked around the counter and positioned himself directly behind my son, physically placing my child between us. I distinctly remember where he stood and found his behavior intimidating. He also made a comment to the effect that rude people get bad things. I asked him to leave me alone, and he responded by asking me to leave the store. My son later told me that I had done absolutely nothing wrong to deserve being asked to leave. Approximately five minutes afterward, the Director of Retail Operations called and instructed me to stay away. I submitted a formal complaint to CEO Thomas Fish, who acknowledged my concerns and promised to review the incident, employee conduct, and management's response. After receiving no substantive update, I followed up. One of my biggest concerns was my son, who was upset that we could no longer visit a store we loved. He couldn't understand why we were being excluded. The CEO confirmed that the review was complete and handled internally but declined to discuss the circumstances or identify any store policy I had violated. Instead, he formally prohibited me from returning. His explanation referenced my continued dissatisfaction and my public Google review, with the stated goal of avoiding future "contentious interactions." Most disturbing was his written warning: "Management has been instructed that, should you enter the premises after receiving this notice, they are to ask you to leave and, if necessary, contact law enforcement to address the situation." I had never threatened anyone or suggested that I would disregard the company's instructions. I found the reference to law enforcement unnecessarily harsh. The irony is difficult to overlook. I had already disengaged from personal interactions with this employee and was simply shopping with my son, yet I ultimately became the person excluded in the name of preventing further conflict. I recognize that a private business determines who may enter its premises. However, I believe this was a profoundly dismissive and disproportionate response to a legitimate customer complaint. My son did nothing wrong. He simply wanted to enjoy a hobby with his mother, and now we've lost a place associated with years of happy memories. What troubles me most is the message this experience sends: a customer should be able to set personal boundaries with an employee, continue shopping peacefully, and expect professional treatment. I wasn't asking for special consideration or a personal relationship. I was asking to be treated like any other paying customer. I expected basic professionalism, fair treatment, and meaningful accountability. Instead, I was left feeling that raising concerns about an employee's conduct had become the problem. For collectors and families, I recommend you take your business elsewhere.
