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.

I was impressed with Revolver Records organization. They catalogue older records alphabetical and price ranges from $1 to $10. Newer vinyl is organized by genre and hot items are on the wall. Customer service was on point and not intrusive. I was there over an hour and spent over $130 and left feeling like I got great value for my money and time. The location is convenient and parking is easy. I highly recommend and will be going back to visit again.

What used to be just a side collection of all the music that was available throughout the store has now become one of the better record shops in Charlotte. They have a great selection. It's easy to find stuff and they are always rotating the stock which is appreciated. I like that they've added a separate entrance at the back because it makes it much easier just to go in the vault specifically without having to deal with the crowd in the rest of the sleepy poet. I stopped by every couple of weeks to see what's new. You probably should as well.

Hidden Gem ALERT! You can easily overlook the Poet's Vault since it's located in the "back corner"…read moreof the Sleepy Poet, but once you find out where it is, you can just park in the parking lot directly in front of it and go in (separate entrance). It is still connected to the Sleepy Poet, but if you are looking for a cool vinyl shopping experience, look no further. A few new vinyl's and a lot of used as well. There are also some separate rooms with collectables like comics and figurines... but the main focus is the records. They are sorted out by music genre and alphabetical. Staff here are super cool, just browse at your leasure and they are there to help if you are looking for something specific. Since I've embarked on my vinyl journey, I really like going to a brick and mortar store and leafing through collections to see what I may or may not find. I haven't gotten a good sense of pricing yet especially since I do a lot of eBay, but I do somewhat prefer the physical media vs streaming from the cloud. Something about album art, having to purposefully place the record on the player and place the needle is super nostalgic and the sound quality is unmatched.

Since I grew…read moreup in the area and collected comics for over 50 years, I was curious to see their new (to me) location. After a dizzying trip through traffic and construction I finally made it. It is certainly impressive being greeted by Spider-man battling Doc Octopus overhead. Tons and tons of comics, magazines, books, games, etc. So much to see hard to take it all in. The only thing I missed were the displays of beloved titles from the 1940s to 1960s. So I was told of a huge comic show in Boston and large stocks were sent up there. A very impressive store. Everyone was very helpful and answered questions that I had. I even brought a small box of my personal comics for them to look over. They liked the books and the condition and we agreed on a price for them. Very nice people and very pleasant atmosphere.

He closed a store in Mint Hill months ago, which was my favorite store. I used to frequent the Matthews store every 2-3 months, but haven't been back lately. I have discovered Noble records since that time, and that is currently my preferred store, but I am sure I will visit Hardy Boys again, it has its own charm. I have never been to the Charlotte stores, so I can't comment.

They've got a wide selection of one-hitters, water pipes, spoons, etc. for all your 'tobacco' needs. The place is crammed with hippy accessories, concert t-shirts, black light posters, and bumper stickers. The prices are all very reasonable, and they even offer a Yelp check-in deal! Score! The staff was rather nonchalant, but that was perfect for what I was looking for. The selections were stellar. I've never seen so many smoking accessories in one store. They honestly had everything, from the cheap low end stuff to the ultra-high end accessories. Their jewelry was rather nice, with lots of things that would be right at home at a Grateful Dead concert. Parking wasn't too bad, since we were there on a weekday afternoon. Check this place out!

After you make in past the Cheshire cat painted on the door, you'll get a huge whiff of 1972. Plenty of patchouli. This smoke shop is filled with interesting knicknacks, pipes, vaporizers, hookas, and other items you probably don't want your young kids seeing for at least another ten years. Yet if you're looking for something smoke-specific, you can probably find it at Sunshine Daydreams. In addition to the tobacco assistance items, there are funny and random stickers, flasks, herbal based skin and hair products, etc. The staff are super laid back and cool, just as you would imagine they would be.
