Again, huge selection and I'm frankly surprised and impressed to see such a good toy store in a mall. Prices are high but about what you'd expect. Basically full retail price on everything. Parking sucks. I was there for less than three hours today and paid damn near $7 to use the ramp! I know they have a validation scheme where if you get three validations you get a watery discount, but it's just too much work. Just gimme the first hour free huh? Full validation for paying customers? Anyway... it's a bitter pill to swallow since coming downtown already comes with its own headaches. But I digress.

This store is also organized but very packed. The staff was very nice and helped me find every item on my list. I could have spent hours looking through everything but I was a time limit.

Spokane is a funny place for board gamers. Board game cafes are heavy on the "cafe" and light on…read morethe "board game." Game shops seem to either have no space to play a game or they have lots of space with no clear instructions on when/how the space can/should be used and by whom. And all of the shops we visited while in town were struggling with identity crisis. As for Uncles: Good: Board game selection is better than the other shops we visited in town Bummer: Not a cafe and no obvious place to play a game, so likely intended as strictly retail rather than a gaming space. (No harm no foul...just offering an observation for the advantage of others) Bad: Nobody offered to help (employees stayed behind the counter while we were there). Odd: Organization/layout and display shelves were a challenge. Some areas were clearly organized and others less so. Just when I started to think I was understanding the organizational scheme, I'd find a game that obviously belonged with a group of others on the other side of the store. Just my opinion, but there is enough selection here that an alphabetical layout scheme would probably make sense. Suggestion: Pick an identity: Toy store or game shop? Gone are the days of the bizarrely mixed toy department in the basement of the local sporting goods store. Board games have moved beyond classification as "toys" and into the realm of being a true hobby all its own. If Uncles decides to focus up as a game store, consider dumping the little kid toys and leaning heavier into collectibles loved by most gamers (e.g. Funko, Iron Studios, Superhero/Fantasy/Sci-Fi stuff, etc.) Parking: rough. (Seemed as though downtown paid street parking was the only option.) Pricing is pretty standard for brick and mortar...a touch higher than you can find online in most cases. (I call it the "Instant Gratification Tax.") At the end of the day, I came away feeling as though the shop might be run by a pair of contentious siblings...one who loves modern board games and the other who is convinced that kid's toys are the way to go. Combining them in this small a space was OK in the '80s but now is just confusing for both groups.

6.1.25: So, to make a long story short (haha, my reviews are never short--who we foolin'), a couple…read moreof months ago the budtender at the dispensary I'm a regular at asked if I was into pinball. To which I said, heck yeah! He told me that I had to check out this place called, Jedi Alliance, an arcade with a bunch of old school games. Say no more, I'm in. However, they're only open Friday through Sunday, which makes it difficult for me and my work schedule. Fast forward to today (Sunday), I had the window of opportunity to make the hour drive to Spokane with the hopes that this arcade was all that I dreamt it to be lol. My friend had no idea where we were going and was still confused when we pulled into the parking lot. When we walked in, I got the instant nostalgic old school vibe and feel as it was kinda dim with all the games and machines giving the place a magical glow. "Voltron" greeted us and asked if we've ever been in before and we said no, we're first timers. He was really nice and when he went over the rules, he spoke calmly and read the rules in a speed that we actually understood. Sometimes you go to these game places and when they explain how things work, they either speed talk or mumble. Voltron did a great job giving us the run down and instructions and even gave us some history on the place. The cost is $18 per person with unlimited play from open to close, which I found as a great value because we ended up losing ourselves there for 3 to 4 hours! There's over 140 classic pinball and joystick games, which is outstandingly epic. There's no other place in this area that offers this many games and with the variety of retro classics too. I'm not sure if it's because I'm born in the early 80s, but this place hits the bullseye. I had a blast reminiscing from when I was a kid and I kept hearing my friend say, this is so fun, lol. The bonus is the fact they have a hand washing station, which I definitely used a few times. With all the hands touching the machines, I really appreciate the owner's thoughtfulness. Jedi Alliance has more than just games, they have a museum of retro pop culture movie posters and props, a huge collection of old school dolls, figurines, toys, and games. Some things are for sale and some things are not. Overall, this was one of the best times I've had in quite some time and will definitely be back.

As someone who works professionally in comics and illustration, comic book stores are akin to a blood pressure machine: It's where I go to engage with my industry, check its pulse and lifeblood, and this place has been an ideal solution for all of the above. Anything that isn't on their very generous rack of new releases can be very easily ordered/subscribed to, with the added benefit of a 10% subscriber discount. They also have a very good selection of graphic novels and collected trade editions, both new and used. My only complaint is that I have to drive a long @$$ way to get there--*deep sigh* I live in North Idaho--but this store has been a tentpole to my continued sanity. North Idaho, as its name implies, doesn't put a lot of value on entertainment arts and culture (in my experience). Having a place like this even remotely nearby (about 2 hours drive from my house, but only 20 minutes from my work at North Idaho College) has helped make life worth living for me. I don't know that it's the only shop of its kind up this way, but it is certainly the best.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Buy Wander in Spokane…read more I have been a loyal customer and have purchased so many things from Buy Wander that the staff literally know me by name and recognize the last four digits of my phone number. This is not a business I was unfamiliar with or a one-time purchase for me, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I had a 5:00 PM pickup appointment on August 13. I was helping a friend search for their dog during the Spokane fire, and because of the circumstances, I arrived at approximately 5:30 PM. I understand the importance of arriving on time, but I specifically checked Buy Wander's own policy, which states that you may not be served if you arrive "more than 30 mins before or after your scheduled appointment time." I arrived at 5:30 -- exactly 30 minutes after my appointment, NOT more than 30 minutes. Despite this, I was turned away. The store wasn't even busy, so I was especially disappointed that there was no willingness to work with me given the circumstances. To make matters worse, I was then charged a restocking fee, even though I was the one who was turned away. I was also having trouble accessing my account and had already contacted customer service by email about the issue, yet I was still charged the fee. What bothers me most is the complete lack of consideration for the circumstances. This was happening while our community was dealing with an active fire and people were desperately trying to locate and help animals that had been displaced. I was not simply running late for a casual shopping trip -- I was helping a friend look for their dog during a local disaster. I understand that businesses need policies, but policies should be applied fairly and reasonably. If your policy says "more than 30 minutes," then exactly 30 minutes is not more than 30 minutes. Turning me away and then charging me a restocking fee under those circumstances makes absolutely no sense. After being such a loyal customer that the staff know me by name, I honestly expected better customer service and a little compassion. Instead, I was left feeling like my years of being a customer meant nothing. I sincerely hope Buy Wander reviews this situation, reverses the restocking fee, and considers whether this is really how they want to treat loyal customers -- especially during an emergency affecting our local community. Very disappointing. I expected much better from a business I have supported so much.
