He didn't know what was going on and said Mike the owner would get back to me after he spoke to him. 7/25/25 - Got email from Mike with 2 small refunds to ensure transaction was verifiable and not fraudulent. Replied same day validating details. 7/30/25 - No response received via email so called again and spoke to Austin who had no idea on status of order and said Mike would call me back. 7/30/25 - Mike called back shortly thereafter and said email had ended up in spam folder. After a lengthy conversation he said everything was good and would ship out shortly since everything was verified. Later in the day I receive an email saying I had been refunded and the transaction canceled. I received a follow-up email from Mike apologizing saying "Austin Cannot find the items on your ticket. I a refunding you in full for the entire order. I will go to my storehouse this week and look for these items as well as any other cases that I have." As of 8/6 I have not received any other correspondence. Very disappointed with my experience at Dizzy and after reviewing online feedback it seems this kind of situation is a reoccurring event here. Poor customer service, honor and a lack of basic business ethics is saying it mildly.

Review Visit: June 21st, 2014…read more Some of my best friends discovered Dizzy Dugout when they lived near Collinsville, IL. So naturally, we all went next time we hung out. All I can say is Holy Hell that is a packed wall of merchandise. My friends weren't kidding when they said this place was impressive. Behind the counter is a ginormous wall of trading cards. Some I hadn't even heard of and some I haven't seen in years. When you walk in, it is literally a wall of product on each side until you get to the second room, then it's board games, comics and room to play on the tables set up. If you are adventurous enough, there is another room that is further back. Upon first seeing it, you would think it was an unused room with random stock in it... and it kind of is, but stepping back there, you'll see Final Fantasy VIII figures, anime VHS tapes, other anime figures from the 90's and manga. It is a time warp when you cross into that room. My friends and I keep finding new things every time we go back there that we missed the previous times. Overall, Dizzy is a fantastic store. If you are into that kind of stuff. The only real negatives is that the store is beyond cluttered and they had a roof leak, so it was musty the few times I have gone, but they have since fixed the leak. Awesome store with many treasures you can find, if you have time to look.

Small small parking lot on a hill so probably best to come visit spring/summer. This place was jam packed with so much. The guy who checked us out educated us on these comics we saw of invincible characters on the covers but weren't in the comic at all. It was nice to see an array on invincible (I know, im obsessed). We were looking for some Kingsman comics but only found the one with the cast from the movie on it. We bought a comic and some cases for displaying. We'll probably visit every now and then just because it's so far from us.

This store is bigger than what you may expect. It is divided in two--majority of inventory in…read morefront and large gaming area in back. Both areas are spacious with high ceilings. Inventory consists of newer comics, trade paperbacks, graphic novels, art books, board games, trading card games, toy figures, statues, model kits, and model paints. Items not in stock can be ordered for you. There is a long wall displaying the latest issues of comics, and there are boxes of back issues. They focus on newer comics, so you will not find older comics here. If you plan to get an ongoing comic series, then it is recommended that you use the pull-and-hold service and create a pull list. Most comic shops offer this service and can reserve and set aside titles for you to pick up at your convenience. Pull lists and subscriptions help comic shops determine which titles and quantities to order for the entire store.

We're in town from out of state for vacation and found this wonderful gem of a store. There's nothing like this back home and I've been to many such stores in many states. Everything is reasonably priced and there are a huge variety of items they carry such as posters, blindbox figures, anime vinyl record/CD, and playmats. Did I mention the wall of figures and room filled with nothing but Gundam and similar model kits?I thought I'd faint in happiness when I stepped into the room. I wish I could stay a bit longer if I had the time. Overall, this is a must see destination for all anime fans and alike if and when you're in St Louis area.

Wow! What a gem! We recently received a gift certificate to this store for my son's first birthday…read more We had never been here before and were very impressed. They have a great selection, everything from seasonal (currently Easter) toys, to dress up, stuffed animals, puppets, baby toys, books, board games, tonies, art supplies and so much more! The staff were helpful and friendly but let us roam around with our toddler without feeling rushed or pressured. All of the products appeared to be good quality and we felt good shopping local rather than Amazon. We ended up purchasing a neat little book that tells an audio story. They had others that were my first Bach book, my first Mozart, my first Ballet etc. that were more musical and less story. So much neat stuff, we spent quite a while in the store and I foresee us coming back for future holidays and birthdays.

I wanted something different for the kids in my life, even if I had to spend a little bit more. My first trip to the store, I got acquainted with the layout, and all the wonderful toys and games filling the space. The second visit, I started to narrow my shopping list. Third trip, I purchased items. The staff was there when I needed them, but didn't hover, and let me browse. There's something magical about shopping for toys you see and touch in person, reminiscing about Christmases past, and dreaming about the one to come. Thanks, Happy Up!
