What a cool store! I was kind of stupefied while walking around in here. Had I not been wearing a…read moremask, you would've seen my mouth either wide open in awe or brimming with a smile. So many cool old knick-knacks with a seriously retro/analog vibe. Think Back to the Future, etc. Old video games, cards, toys, action figures, and collectibles. The old and the new. Star Wars, Star Trek, Game of Thrones, Pokemon, Magic The Gathering, Harry Potter, Lego, Nintendo. This is certainly not an exhaustive list. Prices definitely vary. There are signed copies of books and cards that are several hundred, even thousands, of dollars. Then there are newer items alongside collectibles that start at a couple bucks. Lots of gift-like items or stocking stuffers. Anybody who has ever liked anything remotely nerdy in the last 40 years will be bound to find something here. Therefore, you're certain to find a good gift for about anybody here. The shopkeeper was also really cool and friendly in spite of the shop being basically over run with people. This is no doubt a money-making shop in a liberal arts college town.

The store layout was extremely well thought out, I was able to find exactly what I was looking for and it also inspired me for a couple of other projects I am interested in tackling! The staff at the store were friendly and the prices were easy to figure out. Some of the items were a bit high in price but I hear they run good sales so I will just wait for a couple items to go back. Overall, great experience!!!

The second time I went in I heard one of the cashiers tell another customer that they don't let dogs into their store even though the website says they do and my dog is a support animal and never barked or disrupted anyone. They never have what I need and I had to improvise the first time and left empty-handed the second time. The staff is always rude, not helpful, and tends to ignore customers. The store is always so messy and has awful sales why is spring only 40% off in December? I'd rather pay 10x more anywhere else than shop here again.
