Newtype has a great selection of kits and building supplies! One thing to note about this business…read moreis that even thought they have their warehouse address listed here, they are not a walk-in business. The way it works is, you visit their website first and place an order there. You can choose whether to have your order delivered or pick it up yourself from their warehouse. I buy from them often. If you place an order for pickup early enough in the day, they may have it ready on the same day. Otherwise it'll be ready by the next day except for they don't do pick ups on weekends. So if you order Friday afternoon then you'll most likely have to wait until the following Monday. I live fairly close to their new location so I can avoid the delivery fee and just go pick it up myself. They also almost always have items on sale, I would definitely recommend checking them out!

The shop has that Cheers-like vibe where you can talk comics with the owner and other collectors without feeling rushed. If you're in the Bay Area and love comics, this shop is a must-visit. Highly recommended.

A card and game shop in the Alameda area…read more I was in town and a friend brought us here to check out. Although a small shop, you can tell that they have their local favorites come through. There were some people playing in the shop when we came in. Because the shop itself is small, this made the shop already pretty crowded and a bit hard to navigate through. They had some cute stuff after looking around. I mainly collect Pokemon cards just for fun (not to play) so maybe this wasn't more of my speed for the card shop. I got to see some of the things in their binder and they had some cool cards. The prices were pretty okay and I did pick up two cards. My friend that lives in the area comes here because he says they usually have things for a good price so that's good to know!

From most card shops I've been to, this would be my least favorite. What threw me off was this box…read moreof bulk on the counter, I had asked one of the workers if I could look through it, he said yes. After 30 minutes of looking through the box, I was about to finalize what I wanted, but then a different worker came up to me and said he was still looking through the cards. Out of consideration, I apologized and told him he could quickly look through the cards I was interested in. He then took about 80% of card from my stack for himself. Honestly, it felt extremely scummy and inconsiderate. Taking advantage of my politeness and leaving me with maybe 7 out of the 30 I had originally wanted. I understand that they'd want to look through the bulk before letting their customers to see, but I was told that I was allowed to look through the bulk?? And on top of that, they don't price the cards in their binders and go by tcgplayer pricing, which makes it difficult to determine what cards are worth buying. And their bulk is extremely disorganized. I had asked if they had any vintage pokemon cards and they told me there might be SOME in the 5 bigass boxes of bulk they had laid out. I had asked if they would ever organize the bulk, but they never gave me a clear answer, leaving me a bit peeved. They take the more valuable and prettier cards for themselves. Go to a different card shop that's better organized and fair.

Without going on too much of a tangent, I have to say I really don't take the time to write reviews…read moreunless I've genuinely had a great experience somewhere... or a really bad one. Having that great experience repeatedly is an even bigger plus, and that has definitely been my experience at Games of Livermore. As a kid, I was huge into Yu-Gi-Oh. For many years it was a big part of my life and childhood. I recently got back into TCG collecting in 2025, originally just chasing that Yu-Gi-Oh nostalgia. Now, with adult money, I can finally splurge on some of the things my childhood self could have only dreamed about. Getting back into collecting in 2025-26 can honestly be a nightmare sometimes, and there have definitely been plenty of ups and downs for me. Games of Livermore, especially being so close to my house, has become a huge part of me getting back into the hobby and actually enjoying it again. The staff are passionate, knowledgeable, and willing to help people across the board. Chad especially has been incredibly helpful with filling out my binder, taking in trades, and giving me great deals on packs. One thing I really appreciate is that they protect the local community and keep scalpers AWAY. Whenever I walk into the store, there's almost always something I can pick up--singles, packs, sealed product, and even FOOD. Seriously, they have some great treats too. A big reason they consistently have inventory is because they actually put reasonable limits in place so one person can't walk in and buy everything off the shelf. They also don't slap insane markups on everything just because something is popular, which unfortunately has become way too common in the hobby. Overall, this is my LGS, for now and always. I really appreciate everyone there and how helpful they are every time I come in. I even pulled an awesome card from a single pack here, so clearly the pack luck isn't bad either! They're trustworthy, passionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Yes, the store can get busy sometimes, but honestly, that's not a bad thing. If anything, it's a sign that people know this is the right spot. I'd come here over GameStop ANY DAY. My only wish would be for them to carry a few more video games vintage and modern, but outside of that, I really can't complain. Thank you to everyone at Games of Livermore for making getting back into this hobby such a great experience.

I went to the shop today for the Pokémon 30th Celebration Collection. I called yesterday because I…read morewas told the supply was very limited. The employee I spoke with specifically advised me to arrive early if I wanted to make sure I could get one. They said that while they didn't want people lining up, realistically they couldn't stop people from doing so. Based on that information, I arrived an hour and a half before opening, which I think is completely reasonable for a highly anticipated drop with limited supply. Even then, I almost didn't get the item I came for because they were close to selling out. I also want to mention that the shop had taken measures to discourage scalping by cutting the seals and nearly removing them from the boxes. Since I was buying the product to actually open the packs, I personally didn't have a problem with this and understood why they were doing it. What really left a bad taste in my mouth happened afterward. I joined the shop's Discord to share my pulls and saw conversations about the people who had waited in line. The shop's manager, identified in the Discord as Sammy (Manager), said they were talking about taking a photo of the line, saying "everyone cheese!" and then refuse service to those people in line lol. The shop's Games of Livermore Discord account also commented that they had "just unplugged the phone calls are nonstop" before they had even op. I understand that getting nonstop calls during a highly anticipated release can be frustrating, but seeing the shop publicly talking about unplugging the phone because customers were calling about the release added to the impression that they simply didn't want to deal with the demand. In the same conversation, the shop's Discord account mentioned that they had served "around 110 plus people," while other members were making jokes and comments about the people who had lined up. The manager also commented, "where's everyone's pulls? or did yall already resell" in the conversation. Honestly, this is what bothered me the most. The store had already taken measures to prevent scalping, including altering the product packaging, and I was completely understanding of that. So seeing this level of bitterness toward customers who literally followed the advice given by the store to arrive early was pretty crazy to me. If you don't want people lining up, that's understandable. But if a customer calls ahead, is told that arriving early is realistically the only way to guarantee getting the product, and then actually does exactly that, it's pretty frustrating to see those same customers being mocked afterward. If the shop can't handle a line for a highly desired drop, maybe they shouldn't be stocking products that are obviously going to create one. Customers shouldn't be made to feel like they're doing something wrong for showing up early when the store itself told them that's realistically what they needed to do to get the product. I came in excited about the release, bought my product, and was happy with what I got. The product itself wasn't the issue. The way the situation and the customers who waited in line were talked about afterward is what completely soured the experience for me.
