My son recently he got me hooked on collecting Funko Pops and he was no longer satisfied taking…read morepictures in the store, texting them to me and asking if I wanted to purchase a new pop since he was there.... today was the first time he arrange to bring me with him. It's only a few miles from our house, on Highway 60 in Brandon, so we went during my hour lunch break. The man sitting behind the counter was very pleasant and welcomed us into the store. I am not so much a comic book - action figure - collector as I am a lover of all things 80s, vintage toys and relics of my childhood... And the store called to my 80s childish heart! I didn't have time to look around and explore all of the racks and displays but I could hear three young men also in the store with us ooh-ing and ahh-ing in excitement, around every corner! There jovial pleasure was contagious! I explored a table in the center of the store with all of the new releases of the Funko Pops. The store had a huge variety displayed on the far left wall, that ran nearly the entire length of the store. They had several figurines that I have been looking to collect such as the Garbage Pail Kids, Bob's Big Boy, Twinkie The Kid, Cap'n Crunch and Day-To-Night Barbie (I had this original Barbie when I was in Elementary school!). Since this is a collectible store, I feel it's important to note that any of the items I picked up and looked at were in pristine packaging. I know that is very important to collectors, as I have been one my entire life and know that package condition can make or break a sale! Another plus, they accept Apple Pay :)

Absolutely fantastic retro game store that I visited in Tampa earlier this year. The staff was very…read moreattentive and seemed to have a wealth of knowledge on everything in their store. It is awesome to see stores like this taking so much pride in preserving the physical media of the past. There is so much value in that and I for one truly appreciate this store. Also taking pride in this work are the staff. The pricing of a lot of the retro games is fair considering many of the games are no longer available and hard to come by. Retro games, especially ones that were popular back in the day, only grow in value as our nostalgic minds yearn to play our favorite childhood games again. Though I didn't end up buying any games (only because I was just in town for just a day or two), I did manage to play one of their Japanese coin machines. I am a HUGE Psyduck enthusiast and I saw one of their machines had a DANCING Psyduck toy in it! So, I got the appropriate coins from the cashier (they don't use regular coins). I only had enough for two items, so I did my first try and got a Wabbufet. Which is nice but it's NOT psyduck. I was nervous I wouldn't get my dancing duck but with hope in my heart and psyduck on my mind, I put my last coin in and turned the dial. After I heard the plastic ball capsule reach the dispense area I nervously reached for it. "Please be a dancing yellow duck" I said to myself... and I slowly opened the capsule and... A DANCING PSYDUCK WAS IN IT! I was so thrilled that I screamed lol it was so much fun and I just feel like this silly story does a great job at capturing the vibe of this location. Getting excited while connecting with our inner child. My inner child was healed a little more by the time I left Thanks to R U Game for the incredible service and the incredible experience. The dancing psyduck now sits safely on a shelf in my room where it routinely dances to Britney and Taylor songs lol

I bought a used PS5 game as R.U. Game Fowler last Saturday. I was told if FOR ANY REASON, the game…read moredid not work, they would extend a store credit or exchange for a game of equal value. Well, it had a problem 3 times mid-way through the install process, and I was never able to get the game installed on my ps5. I updated my ps5, and still it would not work tried to take the game back today, on day 7, and was told I could not return the game because they were able to install it on the store's ps5. So now Im out $20 and a game I cant play. So much for customer service. If you are out here in the market for a pre-played game, go to Gamestop, as R.U. Game does not honor their word. Basically they robbed me for $20. I will never buy from them ever again, and will let anyone know I can how they treat customers. Untrustworthy, dishonest and terrible customer service is all they offer.

My friend and I went into this GameStop to return a controller. The first issue started when the…read moreemployee told us we needed an ID, without specifying what type. Since we are minors, we went back to the car and brought in our school IDs. When we returned, the employee then changed his tone and said it had to be a government-issued ID, which was never clarified initially. To resolve the situation, my older brother came inside and provided his government ID. The employee scanned it, made unnecessary and disrespectful remarks about my friend's card, and told us to "get it together." After scanning my brother's ID and seeing that it went through successfully, he gave us a strange look and asked, "Are any of y'all boys 18?" We said no, and explained that we were unaware you had to be 18 to return an item that was legally purchased. Instead of helping us, he continued to be dismissive. We then asked another adult customer in the store if they could assist us with the return. At that point, the employee--who identified himself as the manager (large afro, nose ring, African American)--said, "I can't let you do that. I'm the manager." We checked GameStop's return policy, and nowhere does it state that you must be 18 to return an item. The entire interaction was unprofessional, inconsistent, and disrespectful. To confirm this was not a company-wide rule, we went to the GameStop on Causeway next to T-Mobile and Village Inn immediately afterward. They returned the item with zero issues. We were in and out quickly, no attitude, no confusion, no made-up rules. This all happened on December 14 around 4:30 PM. I strongly recommend avoiding this location and going to the Causeway GameStop instead. Be aware of the trouble, poor service, and misleading information you may receive here.
