If you love collecting comics this is the place to go! This…read moreshop brings in stuff you can't find very easily. They are also pretty no-nonsense as in you are not going to find their walls filled with new comics and those 1:100 variants, but you will find boxes and boxes of back issues. They do have some new weekly issues, but really focus on the older stuff. And they have some pretty reasonable prices. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and can answer almost anything you have a question for.

Collectibles Gallore is a great comic shop with a little something for everyone. The collection of…read moreback issues ranges from a few Golden Age rarities to new releases. Dollar Bins with a decent selection are present, as well as big boy Key Issue books. Store is a bit cramped, so make sure to check every square inch, you may just miss something really cool. Mike the owner is quite chatty and has been more than kind to both me and my family whenever I stop in from out of the area. This is easily the best selection of pre 2000s comics in the CNY area, but if you want post 2000s books, he has those too. A must stop for comic collectors passing through CNY.

There is a large space for gaming with tables chairs and even board games to play. They have a couple snacks for sale, I noticed as well. The man behind the counter was very nice and even opened a box of dragon sleeves to show me that they weren't hard to see through! Prices are a little high when compared to other stores/online, but you pay for convenience.

I ordered three $500 Magic the Gathering collector booster boxes back in February. Despite knowing…read morethe product was popular and in high-demand (and thus unlikely to be fulfilled), the store waited until release day in June to cancel and refund my order. The cancelation was done with no notice or apology - the only reason I noticed was because I saw it pop up in my PayPal account. I am a reasonable customer and would have understood a cancelation back in February or March. This would have given me a chance to lock in an order through alternative means; however, I really have no choices now as the booster boxes are impossible to find at the prices they were back in February and March. Very disappointed and would highly recommend anyone thinking about ordering from them to not - especially if the product is a preorder!

The staff treated them both wonderfully for the 90 minutes or so they were in the shop. It's alleged that Jeff W. is partial owner, so I know the staff knows their stuff, but having them treat my elderly mother and client so well demonstrates the level these guys play at. 100% better than Larger than Life. This shop is for the "true believers" and "Constant Readers," not just the "Big Bang Theory" popular kids. I even hear Jeff W. has lifted the ban on mentioning who Luke's father is, so as soon as he changes his stance on the Babadook I might consider returning! Thanks, Funky Town! Waylou, indeed.

It has a big selection with a variety of prices so it can be a good spot to buy a gift too. They primarily stock pop culture items, but you may be able to find a few more niche things too. If you're interested in Sanrio, like My Melody, Hello Kitty or Pochacco this is a great stop. They also have a lot of One Piece figures and merch, Pop Mart blind boxes etc. Service is always friendly and welcoming. It does not have it's own entry into the mall, but it is near Macy's if you are looking to park nearby.

I am writing to echo the sentiment of several reviewers here as I too experienced an uncomfortable…read moreinteraction with who I believe is the owner. My wife and I were checking out the Ithaca Commons and leisurely walked into this comic shop. As soon as we walked in, the owner asked if we needed help. I said I was just browsing. He then asked if I collected comics. I said I used to up until 2005 but then sorta lost interest due to the over-saturation of the semi-annual crossover events, but I still have a rough knowledge of the happenings in the current Marvel Universe. The guy then started getting really pushy by suggesting that I get back into comic collecting by picking up a trade paperback. I felt pretty uncomfortable so I just kept browsing around the store. My wife tried making small talks asking if he had any nearby restaurant suggestions. He gave an awkward answer (I'm paraphrasing here), "not really, food is food." And then resumed pestering me to buy a book. If I haven't bought a comic in the last 20 years, what makes him think that I was gonna start in his shop during a trip 3000 miles away from home? I was getting really uncomfortable at this point with the awkward silence so I picked up an issue that I had mild interest in. I imagine if we walked out empty handed he would have scolded us like he did to many other people here. 2 stars instead of 1 because he wasn't awfully rude I guess. ‍

There's a decent sci fi and fantasy section too but be prepared to pay retail price for all books.

And as a BNN member I can get my books cheaper and new from BNN.
