Located in the Milton Square historic buildings! They moved in this past winter…read more The selection here is impressive! There's a TON of inventory in the back room waiting to be organized and put out, but I get that takes a while. It didn't feel the most shopper-ready yet. My brother found some things he was excited about, and I found a few unique books! The owner is so kind and has plans to do DND and game nights as well as music nights with all their space. 3 books was ~$40 so not the most affordable prices, but I'm not super tuned in with what comic books run. I think in a few more months the space will be more visitor-ready with more inventory available to look through!

We were happy to have Free Comic Book Day return this year. Mind's Eye was the only place we wanted…read moreto go and so we did. They are in a new location since our last visit (used to be in Eagan). Per usual, everyone was friendly and helpful. I found a Harriet Tubman comic that I didn't even know existed. I bought the two copies they had. Everything was well organized and easy to peruse both the free and paid comics they have. This space is much smaller than their previous location. Fortunately, everyone was masked, which made us feel more at ease. One of the things I really love about this place, in addition to the fact that it's POC owned, is that I can be an all-out geek and nerd without getting any side eye. Chatting with the staff is fun and I always learn something new. I don't follow the comic world closely, so getting an update and to see the excitement of the person talking is quite infectious. It's probably why I've yet to spend less than $40 when we go there. Whether it's FCBD or not, this is the play for comics, graphic novels, and all kinds of things that you'll not find anywhere else. Stop in!

We stopped in for the first time earlier this month and were surprised at how clean and organized…read morethe store was. It was well lit and easy to look through all the boxes of comics. Not only do they have comics but toys, trading cards, and sports cards. We picked up a few cards and comics from their back issue bins. They do not have a lot of new issues to choose from. If you are looking for a new series, they may need to special order it for you. They also seem to have many autograph signings here which is cool. We will definitely be back!

Top dollar they say bs. 2 days after they offered me I sold one of my comics for $100. They ruined two of my comics while they were looking too. Bent them. And they don't know comics. They have the most valuable old comics memorized but don't know the other newer comics that people like and want that has value. They also don't understand condition matters. They just see all comics as 2$ even low print comics. They don't understand yes low print is easy to find but not NM conditions. They only pay less than a dollar for any comics no matter the condition.

Do NOT try and sell this place any cards whatsoever. Came in with a decent amount of Pokémon…read morecards--expecting it to take a few days for them to go through it all but hoping they could maybe pay out a small amount for some higher value singles. Wasn't a deal breaker but seemed a reasonable request. The collection was well organized and labeled and in really good condition--not just thrown into a bin or binder. The person told me they could go through all of it right then within 15-20 minutes because "it was just all bulk". It was absolutely not all bulk cards but ok I thought whatever let's see what they offer. After waiting over an hour, they offered me $35 for all of the cards. Um yeah absolutely not. Went to a different store, waited a few days and got offered $170 AND got almost half of the cards back. I had had a positive experience here previous but that price differential is just completely insane and unacceptable and I would hate for this to happen to someone else who really needs the extra cash. Go to Dreamer's Vault on Hiawatha to sell your cards--don't waste your time here!!

I'm incredibly disappointed and honestly heartbroken over an experience I recently had with Hub…read moreHobby regarding my Traxxas T-Maxx/X-Maxx RC truck. I dropped the truck off for repair, and while I understood repairs can sometimes take a while, the process took a very long time. Eventually, I received one phone call letting me know the repair had been completed. Unfortunately, after 90 days of not picking it up, I later learned that the truck had been surrendered. What's hardest for me to understand is that I never received a second phone call, voicemail, warning, or any kind of notice that my truck was about to be surrendered. Not one. What makes this especially frustrating is that over the years I've received numerous phone calls from the store over much smaller things -- special-ordered parts, minor items, and other routine pickups. So it's difficult for me to understand why there wasn't more effort made to contact me over something worth nearly $2,000 and carrying so much personal value. This hobby store means a lot to me personally. My late father used to take me there when I was younger, and some of my best memories with him came from spending time there together. These days, I love bringing my own two children there and sharing the same hobby with them. That's why this situation feels so devastating. It wasn't just an RC truck to me. It represented years of memories, time, money, and something meaningful I shared across generations of my family. I understand businesses have policies, and I'm not trying to attack anyone personally. I just truly wish more effort had been made before permanently surrendering something that clearly meant so much to a longtime customer. I still hope there's some way this situation can be made right.

They always have current popular reads and they also have books that I have never heard of from smaller authors. If for some reason they don't have what you are looking for, they are happy to help you find it and order it for you to the store! My absolute favorite part of this book store is the clearance wall. As a book fanatic who LOVES buying book trophies and new reads (I also write reviews on goodreads and make video reviews on tiktok and booktok @pagingdr.z ; https://www.tiktok.com/@pagingdr.z) I usually tell myself I can only buy books from the clearance wall or clearance carts outside the store. There are so many awesome books there in all genres and for all ages which I enjoy and they are so reasonably priced despite prices going up recently. Books are typically around $2-5 which is an awesome deal! In addition to have awesome selections and staff, they also buy back books and have many book events!
