    Ordered what I wanted and got it in a few days. Staff isn't pushy. They are patient and show you multiple options in RC trucks.

You can enter on the left side which is the retail store and if you go to the right by the cashiers they have a whole area set up for games with snacks and drinks. We picked up some D&D Supplies and my husband reminisced about his Magic days with the cashier. Both men at the registers were very nice and asked what games we were into and made recommendations on other mech we might like. Their selection is pretty vast and seems on par price wise with other stores in the area and online. They also had an area you could play test games and we saw people and families of all ages enjoying shopping and testing the games on display. The new store on Wesley Drive is HUGE. It might be a little hard to find but its located on the right corner of the plaza with the Peppermill restaurant, to the side/back of McDonalds. Parking can get a bit nutty and limited on weekends so just keep that in mind.

One thing to note, Jake's is not a new pull comic shop, but makes up for it with an excellent cheap longbox selection in the front of the store. Carries some graphic novels. Has a significant stock of TCG/CCG games that are kept behind the counter. Shop seems to specialize in Magic The Gathering with significant backstock. The decent stock of board games and HeroClix are located mid store. In the back is a LARGE area for gaming with several tables along with several customized environment tables. Model Supplies are also kept in this area along with several assembled models on display. Shop carries a significant stock of card protectors and collectors supplies. They also stock a good amount of sports cards and memorabilia including Penn State merchandise. Autographed merchandise was kept behind the counter at the register. Various sports cards were available at both full price and discount including full boxes, along with older NASCAR collectables, and other random merchandise. Collectables are all over the shop. Excellent staff who were very pleasant to talk with and knowledgeable about the area and other comic/sci-fi conventions we could look into. Shop is much like an old school card shop, so it's not the most modem place in the word. Parking is on the street so be prepared to circle the block. State Colleges best comic shop is in Bellefonte, possibly the biggest surprise of the visit.

It reminded me of the old school train shops my dad, uncle, and grandad always took me too as a kid. There's a HUGE variety of model trains, scenery, paints, parts, you'd be hard pressed to not find something you need here. The owner greeted us warmly, mentioned a sale they had going on and said to ask him if we needed anything. Besides trains he also had a decent stock of model planes and cars, a few Star Trek models from the 80s but again, the bulk of his stock is trains. We were in the market for Gunpla models and sadly he didn't stock those but I will be telling my uncle about this place when he needs supplies for his trains. A great small business to stop in if you're looking for model trains and parts and want to support local businesses. Owner is very knowledgeable and friendly, willing to go that extra mile to help find what you need.

The staff was very friendly and we were immediately asked if we needed help when we walked in the door great way to start. I really didn't need anything but I ended up spending almost 100 bucks!
