    They really checked my ID.

    In my opinion, pretty much the only reason left to visit Northway Mall. Ian's Game Paradise is what every GameStop should strive to be. The customer service here is very personable. The gentleman who helped me on this occasion (my guess is he's Ian?) was happy to talk at length about their latest arrivals, all of which happened to be quality titles--with a few rare ones to boot. You can tell he prided himself in the store, and it's cool to see that in someone operating in somewhat of a niche realm. Now that my significant other has discovered the Burlington store at this mall, I'd be more than happy to routinely sneak off into this store and see what treasures can be found. P.S. Too bad I never have enough time to play these damn games anyway.

    I can't really call myself much of a video game person especially if I'm 15 years behind on gaming…read moretrends (PS2 and the original XBOX to be exact). However, I didn't come in here for the video games. I came here for the significant collection of POP! figurines that they had displayed on a shelf next to the registers. This Gamestop is located in the Dimond Center Tower next to Bosco's Comics and Mrs. Field's Cookies. I never thought about collecting these pieces until a couple of co-workers had me started after seeing their collection of extensive and far-reaching pieces of the pop culture world that they were modeled after. Everything from movie characters, musicians, UFC fighters, WWE wrestlers, TV series, late night personalities, NFL players, and game show hosts among others had piqued my interest and I decided to start a 1980's era collection to display on a shelf in my office area. The employees here were very friendly and easy to talk to as I approached them. When I asked about the POP! Figurines, they became excited and started talking in great detail about what they had in their inventory and what to expect for new pieces being released in the upcoming months. I asked for any pieces from the 1980's and the manager immediately showed me several, pointing out that some of them were hard to find and only available in their stores. The ones that really stood out were Clark Griswold from National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, a classic that shows him holding a cup of eggnog in his hand with the Christmas hat, Hans Gruber, the villain from the first Die Hard film, Josh Baskin, Tom Hanks's character from the movie Big, showing him in the memorable scene playing on the giant piano, and Hannibal Lecter from Silence of the Lambs. Although the movie came out in 1991, the detailed figurine showing him in the orderly's uniform holding the razor blade was something I couldn't pass up. I was expecting to pay full price for all of them, but I lucked out when the manager told me that two of them were on sale for $5 each down from the regular price of $11.99. I was also given a list of the upcoming POP! Figurines through the end of the year and had the option of securing any of them on presale in case they sold out quickly. Some of the upcoming figurines included Maximus and Commodus from the Russell Crowe movie Gladiator, Arya with the 2-headed spear, Bran the Broken, Theon Greyjoy with the flaming arrow, the Mountain, Sansa Stark, the Night King with the dagger, and Jon Snow from the final season of Game of Thrones, James Bond characters including Baron Samedi from Live and Let Die, Le Chiffre from Casino Royale, Honey Ryder from Dr. No along with Daniel Craig's Bond character from Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, Rob Zombie, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and the Earp brothers from the Kurt Russell movie Tombstone, and Xena: Warrior Princess. It was a great start to a new hobby thanks to their help.

    Verity of games are good enough. The staff are always informative and never too pushy. The new…read morecollection of Magic card is a good sight to see.

And this cafe isn't really a Starbucks but a pseudo cafe of sorts. As a book store it's pretty good, lots of books and trinkets and whole kids area.

    Eh. I'm not sure what the point is…read more B&N used to be a bastion of culture. While I grew up in a large metro in #FL...it still often felt like a small town. This is one of the first places where I ever had a non-drip coffee. Its magazine racks held...without getting too graphic...a lot of things a 13 y/o boy could appreciate. And...so many interesting books. So many more than the library, and presented in a much more intriguing fashion. (card catalog? BO-RING!) Times have changed though. Coffee shops have exploded. There are dozens within a few miles of this location. Books? Believe it or not, Amazon started as an online "BOOK" store. That's all they sold. The main selling point was "you can shop in your underwear!!!!!". You actually had to pay for shipping. In those days, you could make a good case for going into a B&N (or their competitor "Borders"). Now though? Amazon is consistently 20-50% cheaper on just about everything here. You'd think they'd price match? I asked them to price match a $20 book that was $15 on Amazon. They couldn't. I'll just wait a few days and save $5. I AM that cheap and I am NOT that impatient. They have all the stuff you're used to at a B&N, with some tweaks: Books: all the books Music: smartly focused on vinyl, the only physical media anyone still wants to pay for Starbucks: pretty big one located on-site Games: good selection of board games, the geekier the better Geek tchotchkes: overpriced figures/trinkets from geek culture (Star Wars, Dragon Ball Z, etc)
