I am BEYOND impressed with this place!! We are on Oceanside for a mini vacation away from Los…read moreAngeles today and on a side quest we stopped by here to just take a look. Little did I know I'd walk out today with a BRAND NEW WII! We got a Wii (it also included Wii Fit) and purchased a LOT of games too. The Wii was a huge part of my childhood and unfortunately the one I owned growing up was damaged and thrown away (gasp... I know! But not my fault)! Anyways, the worker there today (had on a My Chemical Romance hat & had some cool tattoos) helped us out today. I didn't get their name, but they were very nice and extremely helpful. The pricing here? Out of this world. It was so affordable to snag over 10 games and a brand new Wii. That's not something you'll get at Game Stop! On top of it, they offer a military discount (we couldn't use it but it's good to know for anyone who can)! This place is also dog friendly and I got to meet a cute dog named Bowie (I wonder if he's a regular)! All and all, I wish this place were located in Los Angeles. I really loved it and again their pricing was extremely fair. I really hope they can get a website up soon because I'd love to buy from them when I'm back home! Thank you for an awesome, affordable and great experience. It was like walking down memory lane in this store!! It took me back to my childhood.

The value varies depending on what you are looking for however it's good to remember to have fun.

Inside, they are usually hosting card events and games are filled with tons of Pokemon TCG, Magic, One Piece, and Yu-Gi-Oh cards. I was able to pick up some of the new Mega Evolutions packs here. Their prices are very fair and all of the staff are really friendly and helpful. Be sure to check out their social media to see when they have new stuff in stock!

I have had money from selling games here sitting in an account for two years. First the business…read moreclosed for like a year, then I had to hound them about getting a copy of Star Wars Outlaws for over 6 months, only for me to come in one day and have them tell me they called me several times and I didn't answer. They checked my account, and it turns out these idiots put in my phone number wrong. I've come in several times since then to pre-order something and they always tell me they can't. These people have been shady in the past so I regret selling games to them, but this is an all-time low for them. The manager, Nick, with the messy hair is so sarcastic and rude when every time I have been nothing but polite. He makes no effort to rectify the situation despite knowing about. Do not give these people your business. Play N Trade if you're reading this, call me and make it right!!

I was playing it for a bit while the owner (I assume) was replacing the battery cell of my Japanese pokemon crystal that I brought in. Speaking of, I am glad they offered this service and the fee is not bad at all. The owner is friendly and answered all my questions I had about my wii console and explained the process of replacing the battery cell of the Gameboy cartridge well. I will definitely stop by next time and will take my friends here!

It was very convenient having to only pay $50 for a GBA SP (in great condition) after trading in a few games I knew I wouldn't play again! Employees are also super friendly and patient.

They have a love for gaming as an art that is rarely seen these days. Every interaction with these gentlemen is an absolute treat, and you really feel like part of the team here even just as a customer. I've purchased many games here and two consoles thus far, most recently a PlayStation 4 Pro. This console is clean, pristine, and doesn't have a single speck of dirt in the vents. That is incredibly rare - especially with a used item. Calico clearly refurbishes and takes good care of their consoles, unlike most places who just pawn off whatever they take in. Their game discs are practically brand new, even used, all of the discs I purchase have zero scratches to the naked eye, and play flawlessly. The prices are incredible, you can get like-new premium games for $4.99+, and that is absolutely fantastic worth. The PlayStation 4 Pro I purchased was $180 - an absolute beast of a deal! Most of all, I especially love how Joey and Czar remember me by name whenever I enter the store, it just really makes me feel special and cared for as a customer. Concluding, I genuinely appreciate that Calico Games caters to people who respect physical media. The staff clearly understand the value of disc-based and cartridge-based games, and they make it easy to find complete, playable titles without relying on digital updates or patches. It's refreshing to see a store that honors the classic way of gaming--buy a game, play it as it was printed, and enjoy it start to finish. Calico Games feels like a haven for collectors and anyone who wants the authentic disc experience. Highly recommended for those who value physical media and the integrity of the original games. Happy to be a customer of Calico!

Came in to fix the fan on my PS5 along with 3 controllers. Only 2 controllers were able to be fixed as one of them did have water damage, but it's always good to check. Another reason I say they're honest, is because the tech told me I could still use pieces from the damaged controller as parts.
