Game Corps is sort of just an average gaming store, to be honest. That's not necessarily meant as a…read morebad thing, I just can't think of anything that really stands out about it to be able to place it above any other gaming store in the area. The service is usually nothing special tbh, not great nor terrible really, just sort of neutral ‍ They have a pretty decent MTG card selection and fair market pricing on singles, but their trade-in % is sorta pathetic in my opinion, and you likely get more money or store credits if you take your trade-ins to Gateway Games instead! ALSO Recently, my fiancé and I drove across town in a blizzard (took about 30 minutes or so, a good amount of the gas in our vehicle, and a lot of anxiety from the slick road conditions and snow showers) to trade-in some MTG cards for CASH because their website states something along the lines of, "We're ALWAYS purchasing trading cards for CASH or STORE CREDIT!" But we were told upon arriving that they did not actually pay out cash for cards any longer, meaning we wasted the entire trip out there as we needed actual cash money to get groceries and such...So hopefully they update their website soon!

Disappointing. My first visit to the store and I was disappointed. If your hobby is trains, model…read morecars, and a few other different hobbies, I suppose you would be in heaven. There was nothing in the store for hobbies that I enjoy. I did not care for how the store was laid out. It was clunky and awkward, not visually appealing, and not set up in a way to encourage sales.

While traveling through Erie on the way home I figured I would get in some thrifting; luckily, I…read moreended up at Mel & Tee's. Located just off Peach Street about 1 1/2 miles from I-90 I found Mel & Tee's easy enough. The front half of the store is mainly a hobby shop, some cool stuff but not what I was looking for. Luckily there is a door to the back of the store which is stuffed with a wide variety of items, collectibles, furniture, home goods and enough to keep you looking for a little while. For me the only item that interested me was a vintage wood stick puppet from Java/Indonesia. The puppet stood out as a very unique and high-quality item, although it did have a bit of damage to one of the hands. The price was about right, but a bit more then I wanted to spend. Luckily I started talking to the very nice lady at the register and she said that they were willing to deal on the item. I made a bid at the lower end of what I thought was fair and she accepted. I ended up getting a great one-of-a-kind item at great price. If you are looking to check out a local thrift store in Erie, Pa. I would suggest giving Mel & Tee's a try, not the biggest place but the fun is finding something you never expected; also really nice when you can negotiate a bit to get what you want.

One of the largest selections of past year commons I have ever found in one store. Great deals in…read moreabundance. This place is a honey-hole for collectors who are building sets. They have hundreds of thousands of cards stacked with stars, and their prices are low. Variety includes Upper Deck, OPC, Topps, Fleer, Score, Donruss, Leaf, Pinnacle and spans the low and upper ends of the spectrum. The staff are unbelievably friendly. There is a palpable neighbourhood-bar vibe, where local collectors drop in to buy packs and boxes in quantities large and small, and feel free to voice their support or criticism of sports teams. Parking is free, and for those with a spouse who doesn't want to spend hours in a sports card store - there is a shopping plaza. London Transit has a close stop, approximately a 2 minute walk away near the Taco Bell. Definitely worth the bus ride or drive. This place is the epitome of 5 stars all the way through.

Actiontoyman is a special kind of place. I spent two months working one day a week in Erie and was…read morelucky enough to discover this store during that time. This store is absolutely stacked with vintage collectibles ranging from Gundam Wing, Star Wars, Transformers, Toy Story, WWE, Dragonball Z, Sports Collectibles, Batman, Superman, and everything in between. The ground level is full of classic toys and even features a full blown comic room in the back while downstairs is the "discount" section offering a ton of toys below $8. Upstairs had a full game room along with a ton of other collectible toys as well. Not only was it a blast coming to ActionToyMan but the staff was super friendly and willing to answer any questions that I had throughout my visit. Although my trips to Erie might be done, I will 100% be returning in the future to check this store out again. If you live even remotely close to Erie you owe it to yourself to come and check this place out, but hey, don't take my work for it, check out Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkin's visiting this store on YouTube.

My husband had 8 collectables at Action Toyman that hadn't sold in a long time. He decided to go…read morepick them up because they hadn't sold thus far and probably weren't in this pandemic economy. He called 3 weeks in a row to ask the owner to gather his unsold things. The first week the owner "wasn't there", the second week "he was out sick", and the third week my husband said he was coming to get his collectibles. Today he went to the store, the owner accused him of harassment, said my husband called his store "$hitty"(he did not), and then told him that he had already sold and paid my husband for his missing collectibles (he couldn't produce any proof that he had paid my husband for anything) Do not take your collectables here to sell. The guy is a liar. And I read through the other reviews and alot of people think he's rude too.
