Downtown Toys & Comics, First Visit! At first, I thought some of the prices were a little high, but…read moreafter checking out certain items online, I realized they're actually priced better than a lot of what you'll find on eBay, Mercari, and Depop. They have a little bit of everything--old and new, packaged and loose--so there's plenty to look through whether you're a serious hunting or just looking. The staff can take a minute to warm up, im not use to not being greeted, so i was taken aback at first, but once you've been in there a bit, they're helpful and willing to assist with whatever you're looking for. Overall, great selection, fair prices, and definitely worth checking out or buying here versus purchasing on Ebay with shipping and crazy wait times.

He's close to the house, so ill try again in 6 months. The day I showed up and he was closed may have been the day he was in a better mood.. Doubt it, lol but.... Every small business deserves a chance..See u in 6 months..

So many awesome things such as manga, comic books, anime statues, autographed comics, and more. I really enjoy this place. The pricing is fair. I also noticed that the anime statues are kinda overpriced when I looked them up online but it's fine. I highly recommend this place!

He likes to see all the DND books and games. I like to see all the figurines they have on consignment, for great prices I may add. I may not play Warhammer, but I do like how they paint the minis. By the way they also have a good painting selection just like in the old location. They still have the gaming spaces in the back for those who want to play with others. The guys at the front are there to let us know if we need anything. They may not get stock as fast as others but at least they are honest about it. The board game selection is also still one of the best in town! I make a point to bring out of towners here in case they find something they like. Ottos is a gem of a place and one of the few where people can interact and hang out without food and drinks. Support local businesses!

Why have a comic book shop if you don't know anything about comics? Why have an extremely…read moredisorganized, messy, impossible to shop comic shop with only hundreds of identical issues from the last five years? I came in, and the employee asked what I was looking for, and I told him "All Star Squadron #25". It's a little niche, but anyone who works at a comic shop should know that title. It's a key issue in the late bronze age. The employee replied "Star Wars?" I said "No. All Star Squadron." He asked "From 1995?" Which nobody had said at all, and I replied "No, from 1983." He then asked "Is that the silver age?" Bro, what are you talking about? Do you know anything about your product? Why are you, the employee at the comic shop, asking me, the customer about your industry? After determining that the employee clearly doesn't read comic books, I poked around for a few minutes but this place is a huge mess, with destroyed long boxes with random cardboard boxes stacked on top, ruining the books. There are boxes lining the floor, making actually shopping incredibly difficult, and cramped. And on top of that, they have nothing pre-covid. This feels like the kind of place that would price gouge slabbed books to people who don't know any better. But the workers don't know any better either, so...

I'll add photos later to the review when I get the chance to show what I am talking about, but until then, whoever is reading, please take a look and see what I mean.
