Not only did they have a good selection, not only did they have an excellent selection. They had the largest collection of Funko pops. I've ever seen under one roof. They had a lot of other really neat products too, including Asian food snacks. We made numerous purchases. The staff was super helpful super chill and the music was really good in the store. I saw them interact very gingerly with a young lady. Who had some slight social developmental issues. Class act Store all the way around. I only wish I lived closer... Will definitely have to come back. Plus they had video games for every platform and actual arcade games. I give them the best possible recommendation that I can give. some incredible values tucked away as well, which made it fun.

He was super cool about the whole interaction and stayed after to let me come pick up that box tv. He even helped me dolly it out to my car! I don't care how far away he is, I'm coming here anytime I need something retro

This place is a gamers dream!!…read more They have a wide variety of collectibles from Funko pops, Pokémon cards, figurines, a back room filled with plushies, game controllers etc. They have board games, retro games for different older gaming consoles, I mean really just about all things gaming. Every time I stop in with my son, he gets lost in all there is to see! Prices in my opinion are steep, but that's always the case with these type of things! The staff are available if you need help, but nothing special. They do keep everything neat and organized, so that's a plus. If you're in to gaming, it's worth a shot to stop in!

TheToysJustWannaHaveFun at Red Genesis…read more Red is a rad dude. I visited hid sweet little shop in Gastonia, NC this past holiday season, where I met the proprietor, Red. In business for ten months (if I remember details correctly), Red has a great thing going on, and I hope to visit and make some purchases again. The shop is cozy and not overflowing with a disorganized mess of toys, despite the fact he could probably squeeze more product in there. There are several display cases with some of my favorite toy lines, such as Exo-Squad, Masters of the Universe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and so much more, with tons of great toys and action figures from the 1980s through today, and likely with some older vintage toys as well. He's got eclectic lines such as Germs (1988). There are packaged figures and loose figures bagged up, GI Joe, Star Wars, Marvel Legends, DC Superheroes, and so much more, to varying degrees of completeness. From what I could tell, prices are reasonable and competitive. Red has got video games and systems too. VHS! There are some good dollar comic books, which I partook in while also finding a fun LEGO insert catalog I missed out on during my "dark ages." There's a little free box where I got my Wizard of Oz-loving friend a great little Tin Man. I wanted to dig out one or two more things, but didn't want to be greedy, but there is some great stuff in there! I also witnessed Red being super awesome with a father and his young kid, finding some Captain America items to make that kid's day! That's some great service from someone who not only loves having this store, but also loves the sense of joy and wonder he can create within the community of collectors and players young and old. Heck, I called on a Tuesday (one of his closed days) and he answered to let me know his hours for the week--customer service can't exceed that quality! If you make it to the Charlotte, NC area, be sure to stop by Red Genesis, and consider dropping some green.

Comics, cards, figurines, Pops, Star Wars collectibles, Star Trek collectibles, Hot Wheels, etc. I would not have believed the huge stocks from the outside. Plus some oversized Star Wars items: R2D2, a Droid, and a diorama of Dogabah. These guys are fans first and retailers second. Had a nice conversation about comics and left them with information on checking out my collection and possible deals. They were friendly and knowledgeable and willing to help. Check them out! Just leave enough time to browse around and maybe find that one item you have been looking for.

Prices were fair and options were plentiful. Met a few friendly people on my visit and would return to this nice local store. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars for me was a lack of used, consignment or out of print games. I know that's a rarity so it's not a negative, just worth noting.

Just recently made my first visit into this store and was quite pleasantly surprised by it. I was…read morenot expecting most of what I saw. A friend brought his MTG cards to town and was looking for someone to play. Being an old "veteran" of sorts, I took the opportunity to play again for the first time in 10 years. The process was easy. In fact, I'm not sure if my friend even asked permission or paid a fee. We walked in and grabbed an empty table and started playing. It was a Saturday afternoon and before long the place started to fill up with people. Some guys came in with a game called Urban Insanity that they were demoing. Kind of a modern/post apocalyptic rendition of the more well known Carcassonne. We ended up jumping in on a game of that. Before I knew it I saw beers floating and passing around. There were other tables popping up with all sorts of other games going on. People setting up what was bound to be an intense game of Warhammer in the far corner. Another guy quietly painting figures with his headphones in. A great cacophony of noise from all of us playing Urban Insanity. And another amalgamation of tables near the front of the shop that was getting kicked up about some other games. It was like watching a movie and I realized this was a pretty happening, fun place. There are actually taps here - so that's where the beer was coming from. Quite the surprise to me. Lots of snacks and non-alcoholic drinks to choose from too. Magic the Gathering and other table top games go without saying, but I was also pleasantly surprised by the extensive board game collection they have available for purchase from here. I feel a draw in my soul to eventually come back for another event to highlight a new game some time in the future. Looking forward to it!
