Loved this shop. And it was packed. They have comics and collectible with a great staff attitude.read more

What a nostalgic spot - nestled in a somewhat busy plaza right off the feeder of I-45N & 242 in…read moreShenandoah! Cute, quaint, and filled to the brim with comics and more! I recently stopped by here with my boys after having some services done at the salons next door and am SO glad we decided to pop in! From the moment you open the door - the smell of comics (and even my own childhood!) consume you. There is SO much to see and look for - it's easy to spend the whole day inside and potentially go broke. My kids gravitated right to the youth section, which was aptly positioned right near the entrance (I say aptly, because once you venture in a bit more, you do have to pass by the more "adult" side of the comic world), and immediately found a few new additions to their at-home library! As if that wasn't enough to reel one in, they even sat down to indulge in a few chess moves. ;) Of course, finding all the nostalgia and collectibles further toward the back of the store was icing on the cake. There were several aisles of toys and figures - pop culture and more! - should that tickle your comic book-loving fancy. Just don't say I didn't warn you! I love that the staff welcomed the kids and engaged with them. The two young(er) folks working that day were super knowledgeable and well-versed in the comic book world and I am here for it. They took time to share all about the store, the programs and clubs of times past - here's to hoping they come back!! - and offered a much needed welcome to the comic book kids of today in this area. If I'm being honest, it made for a great first-time visitor experience. Overall, I highly recommend stopping by and for the life of me, am still scratching my head to understand why we've not stopped in sooner! There's so few stores of this magnitude on this side of town - and it's worth it. Definitely a go-to on my list of my kids' favorite spots...

After Googling local card shops to purchase some cards, I went in to grab a couple packs. I was…read moreimmediately greeted by Kole. He's super nice and helpful. I made a purchase and left. I was pleased enough with the store I made a second trip in the same evening to purchase some more cards. The store was / is extremely clean and neat. While there, my wife and I inquired about obtaining some helpful tips since we are noobies, and we were met with an open invitation to seek help from advanced people on the scheduled game nights. Kole was extremely nice and polite and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend this place if you're into games or trading card games.

The workers were super nice and knowledgeable. The store was split into two parts, which seemed…read morelike a really cool design choice, with one side being the storefront and the back half being the play area. I loved the whole vibe and feel the store had. The play area was just about the right size--not too big, not too small. It felt like the area could comfortably seat 8, maybe 10 Commander pods of 4 players. It felt cozy, like I was in my teens again playing some TCGs at a friend's house. The player base also seemed pretty nice from the people I got to interact with. I didn't really get to change up pods much, but that's more on me than a reflection of the store or its player base due to deck tweaking after a few good rounds. They did seem like they had a healthy little cEDH playgroup there too. Also, at one point, they handed out a free promo card, and I got a Retro Frame Syr Konrad, which was neat! And man, one thing I never even thought about judging a card shop on was how clean their bathrooms were... which, spoilers!!!! Were immaculate. I've never been in a storefront, let alone a card shop, with such a clean bathroom. Most card shop bathrooms look like they belong in a gymnasium. All in all, I'd definitely give this place a 10/10. If you're in the Spring, TX area and need a home TCG store for Tuesday Night Magic (EDH), I couldn't recommend this place more!

I have come to this location many times. Even though I do not profess to be a gamer, I have always…read moreenjoyed my time here. In truth, I am usually here working while my spouse plays. They have themed nights based on different games. They have an assortment of Warmachine, Magic the Gathering, Star Wars X-wing, D&D, dice, assorted supplies, snacks, drinks (even coasters), and board games. There are many times people at the store will choose to play together over a board game while waiting for their other games to begin. The store also hosts local tournaments. On a side note, I appreciate the store's cleanliness. However, what may set this store apart over others is its owner, Justin, and the relationships he has built with his customers. He is a very kind man, considerate and caring, attentive, and helpful. He is funny and curious, two traits that greatly pique interest in conversations where we have an opportunity to learn about each other more so than I think would happen without his involvement. The other customers there have certainly made the store their own. A running joke with a hint of bittersweetness from truth is how Justin may own the store, but it truly belongs to his customers -- that is, until actual responsibility must be invoked. The community he houses within its walls are welcoming and engaging. I am glad this place is here, because it is great to have friends I may otherwise not have known if not for the dynamic of this guild of sorts.

Selection isn't great, and the environment kind of sucks if you're new to Magic or any other nerdy…read morehobby. Lots of schadenfreude and try hards in this shop. "I don't care for the new out of universe stuff." Insert smirk. The environment heavily caters to the LGBT community, they're allowed to have their own little hubs and what not.... so if you don't look like them, talk like them, or act like them... they'll treat you accordingly.. It's like I couldn't breathe in there. This is def the "pronouns" crowd. I remember trying to play and I kept getting interrupted by the two guys behind the counter talking about my deck being this, and how I can't do that, and according to blah blah blah I shouldn't do this. It makes it not fun to play when you have people like this around you. I get that there are rules and I'm learning.. but jeez, no need to laugh and jest all because I've only been playing for a month! The tables to play on were ok, but the overhead lights and constant flickering made me feel like I was going to have a seizure. There's constant conversation from the dudes behind the counter about how one of them has a "non binary" partner, and how to use the correct pronouns, and I'm just fatigued with this madness already. Can't there be a card shop that isn't obsessed with LGBT, pronouns, and schadenfreude? Idk, the environment isn't welcoming if you're not a far leftist or new to the games. It just isn't. That's how I felt while in there, that's my opinion. I'm not interested in politics from either side while I'm playing my cards.

This one visited I…read morepurchased cheap sleeves for a new Redemption TCG demo deck I'm using at the South TX Royal Rangers annual leadership conference in Humble TX. While I was test-sleeving the cards I met with the store general manager Ken and Derek, one of the managers. Gave Derek a KL starter. He and Ken were extremely professional and hospitable. We also had an amazing and fruitful gameR chat. The store is amazing, well-stocked, clean. The management also makes sure that noise level from players talking is kept in control. I came back the next day to buy more card sleeves. Another store employee was there to take care of me. She was likewise amazing. A great gaming store for gamers who wish to have fun and rest.

I LOVE this store!!! I've been shopping here for a few years…read moreto buy birthday & Christmas gifts for my awesome brother who LOVES board games, Magic, Star Wars, D&D, etc.! Every time I walk in this store an employee is always eager and happy to help and my brother LOVES everything I have got him from Ettin Games and Hobbies! While my brother is a MUCH MORE Magic: The Gathering player, I am not and I do not have much experience playing Magic. I almost always lose. My brother asked me to play a commander game with me and showed me which cards to play and way and I ended up winning for my first time so I guess I got the "bug" for playing it. Remembering that Ettin Games sells Magic cards & etc., I looked them up on their website and read their event calendar. When I see that they do commander casual play, it peaked my interest so I called to ask about their events. When I called, I first spoke to a SUPER nice and helpful employee named CJ who explained their events to me. I explained that I would like some help learning how to play Magic: The Gathering; that I'm not very good at playing it; and I don't have much experience. CJ told me that every week, they have players that come and LOVE to work with and help new players play MTG and that, also, their "Magic Guy", Willie would be there and that Willie plays MTG and loves to help other players as well. I was told that Willie would help me put together a White deck and BOY did he!!! I was SO EXCITED and grateful!! I meet several REALLY COOL people (2 of which helped me ALOT). Both Willie and another player let me play their decks and try them out! I had SO MUCH FUN!!! Willie put together a really nice white deck for me that I'm SUPER EXCITED to try out!! I can't wait to go back next Thursday!!! I'm also SUPER EXCITED about my new "Black Widow" playing mat and sleeves!!
