One of the only two comic shops I ever go to. Because its closest to my house. Also, it's awesome…read more I've been patronizing this store for longer than I'd like to admit. I also have spent more than I care to tally. It's an amazingly large store that houses more than just comics. Figures, manga, graphic novels, etc. the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and for the most part patient with all my questions. I unfortunately enjoy indie print comics that are not a big enough draw to stock. So, I'm a pest lol

Online showed they might have some in stock, so I called first. The gentlemen I spoke with on the phone was really nice and answered my questions, which made me feel confident enough to stop by in person. When I walked in, though, the in-store experience felt a bit different and on the emptier side. The two employees at the front didn't seem very welcoming and gave off a slightly annoyed vibe. When I asked about the Pokémon cards, they seemed confused about what I was referring to until I mentioned I had called earlier and spoken to someone. They checked with their coworker, who clarified which ones he had told me about. I asked to see the packs they had behind the counter, and the interaction still felt a little tense. That said, I was able to grab the two packs, which ended up being the perfect gift for my cousin, so mission accomplished. Overall, they had what I needed, and I appreciate that the phone service was helpful. I'd probably come back if I really needed something specific, and I'm curious to explore more of what they carry. Just hoping for a warmer in-store customer service experience next time.

As the titles come in, you get a call and can pick up at your convenience. I'm old. I like odd indie titles. So the fact that I can essentially give a shopping list is great. The location is also convenient though only street parking is available. I have not found parking to ever be an issue yet. The store is quite large and well stocked with comics and figures. The owner will happily converse with customers and is very helpful when it comes to finding titles.

Going to Collector's Edge makes me miss my old favorite comic shop in Seattle. It just looks,…read morefeels, and even smells like a great comic shop. I went in twice while visiting family in Milwaukee, and both times walked out of Collector's Edge with unexpected surprises and long sought-after additions to my collection. I was especially happy that, while they certainly carry plenty of the standard superhero comics from Marvel and DC, there's also an excellent selection of the independent titles I tend to prefer. And perhaps my favorite thing - to find the good stuff, you should be willing to hunt a bit. While I'm sure the staff would be only too happy to help point you in the direction of something you're looking for, if you have the time to explore for yourself Collector's Edge will reveal its many treasures to you. So while Zanadu, my old favorite place to shop for comics in Seattle, closed its doors years ago, it's good to know that good old-fashioned comic shops like Collector's Edge keep their tradition going.

The comics I bought were in mint condition and some of them were total steals! I was shocked to get a comic worth almost $50 for just $15. This was the most organised comic book store I've ever been to and I really appreciated the cozy atmosphere. I also loved that they had a nice comfy couch for my parents to relax on while I was getting my comics. Would totally recommend this spot if you're hunting for specific comics!!

What it lacks for in size, it makes up for in curation. These booksellers know the Bay View audience and have thoughtfully handpicked their stock to suit. I noticed that they have a few bookclubs--I can't remember all of them but there is one that focuses on books about wine. So, if you're looking to learn more about wine, you may have found your spot. They have a nice selection of social justice books and have a solid supply of graphic novels as well. For myself, I was able to pick up a collection of short stores while I was in. What a gem of a spot! Get to it!

The stock in store is mostly older items with only 1 or 2 racks of current items. He has a lot of vintage toys but he does not have trade paperbacks.

It's ike organized chaos; they'll tell you they dont have a catalog of what they have, but I was able to find the book I wanted because they are METICUOUS about alphabetizing, and I appreciate that. Prices were great. Would stop back in here again and again; would be a problem for my wallet and home shelving if this was in Chicago.

Dozens of free arcade games galore! Also, if you want to buy some games to take home as well as sell old games and systems this place has you covered too! Friendly service, the value was about what you'd expect for the going rates of new and used games, so all in all, pretty dang good!

Game Together MKE has the best selection of retro video games in Milwaukee, especially games in…read moretheir original boxes, but their prices are higher than similar stores in the Oshkosh/Appleton/Green Bay area and the offers they make for your items are not as good. During my most recent visit I felt insulted by what they offered in trade for six of my GBA games that Price Charting had valued at $154 (they offered $65 which is only 42% of the value). Just the day before, a store in Appleton offered me $50 in trade for the highest value game by itself (I didn't have the other five with me and only decided to trade all six while I was there). Needless to say, I left with my games and without the console I wanted to trade for, which was also priced higher than at the store in Appleton. The lack of other quality options in Milwaukee dictates that I can't completely rule out going to Game Together MKE again and that's probably why they price things the way they do. I wish there were other options in Milwaukee or that they treated their customers with more respect.
