They also have a large selection of video games for older consoles. You should definitely avoid Gametraders if you have an addiction for Pop! Vinyl Figures, as they sell hundreds of them, in addition to merchandise for franchises including Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Doctor Who and Star Wars. They also have a large selection of board games and card games, many of which you would not find at most toy and department stores. Gametraders also sells comic books, anime DVDs / Blu-ray's, a small selection of clothing and various video game / TV show props, which would be perfect for cosplay. You will often be able to find items that Gametraders are selling for less online, though they offer convenience and a unique retail experience, which EB Games is finally catching on to, with the launch of their new Zing Pop Culture stores.

Video games are expensive - and don't really have anything to do with videos anymore now I think…read moreabout it. Gamestraders has a very clever model based around letting you trade in your old games to help offset of that brand new $100 game YOU HAVE TO HAVE RIGHT NOW. Other game stores do this too, but Gamestraders seems to be a bit more generous with their refund. Don't get me wrong, they then turn around and sell your traded in game for heaps more than they paid you, and it's pure profit (they only have to pay the manufacturer for new games so selling second hand games is heaps more lucrative than selling new). There's a decent range, and parents and partners can feel slightly better about watching their loved one trade in that game that cost a fortune just a week ago (trust me, you never really go back and play a game once you've finished it).

Only recently have I begun to be consumed by the world of comic books and graphic novels. I have…read morealways had a interest in them but never to any deep extent. I loved the cartoon adaptations of comics when I was a kid (like X-Men, Spiderman, and Fantastic Four), I bought the figurines, but I never actually read the comics. It was not until later in life that I started on a few graphic novels and comics. Now I am hooked. Ace Comics and Games is the perfect spot to indulge my new found love of comics. They do tend to stock more graphic novels and don't have the biggest range in their Queen Street store but the staff are awesomely knowledgeable and friendly and if they don't have something in stock they happily source it for you. You might not even notice Ace Comics unless you were specifically observant or were looking for it on purpose. From the Queen Street Mall all you see is a sign near a doorway next to Wallace Bishop. Walk up a few steps and you make your way into the kind of old looking shop but who really is looking at the paint work when the walls are lined with comics anyway. Ace comics really is a good shop to browse, buy or just generally stand in awe of the awesomeness that surrounds you.

VIOLATES CONSUMER LAW, DO NOT SHOP HERE Refused to give a…read morerefund instead of a store credit despite the Warranties and Refunds consumer guide 2011 clearly stating that "A consumer is generally entitled to receive any refund in the form of their original payment." And "it is misleading for a seller to insist that a refund be issued as a store credit." The manager flat-out refused to give a refund even when consumer law was told to them. Blatantly ignoring consumer law. Lady who processed the purchase said we could get a refund within 2 days. Dickhead manager today said "she didnt say that. I heard her." Straight-up lying to my face. Even when I told him that he was violating consumer law he refused to give me a refund. DO NOT SHOP HERE

I tried to return something that was faulty and to cut a long story short they said "no" without even testing it.

As the name implies, ZiNG Pop Culture specialises in selling various pop culture related items. The…read morechain of stores is owned by EB Games, with the Indooroopilly store being just over a year old. I mainly visit the store to view their large range of Pop Vinyl Figures (they are a big thing right now, with hundreds of figures being available for various TV shows, movies, and games). In addition to Pop Vinyl Figures they also sell various plush toys, clothes and accessories, posters, board games, action figures, collectables, and other various geeky items. They are reasonably priced for the most part, though you might find that some items are available for less online. I quite like how the store has areas that are sorted by franchise (e.g. Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead etc). The store is located near Dymocks on Level 3 of the Indooroopilly Shopping Centre.

I hope EB can withstand Zing for a long while. They're certainly making their mark, mountains worth of stock, spacious stores and kind helpful staff. They stock a lot from a sponsor named ThinkGeek, a big hit online, based in the US. Make your way here when you have the time or make the time to see some eye-catching products for all Geeks, nerds, family, friends and colleagues alike!
