    Every time that I visit this store I am greeted with a smile. It really brings the gaming community…read moretogether. The are a lot of cool collectibles and card games. Green Dragon has fair prices and is my go-to for MtG.

    We drove to this store from Mt. Pleasant so a specific DnD book could be purchased. We wanted,…read moreespecially in current times, to support a small, local business instead over a large, national chain store (where we could have very easily obtained the book with much less driving.) While this type of store is not something I personally would seek out (full disclosure: I went because my partner wanted to), I was immediately hooked when I walked in. I loved the stickers and signs I saw on the windows and door before even walking in. I was ecstatic to see the store highlighting the work of Black/African-American comic-book writers and characters at the front of the store. The game and book options were seemingly endless, even for someone like me who doesn't know a whole lot. And, prior to driving out there, we called just to make sure the certain books were in stock. An employee answered the phone, well before store open, and kindly checked the store in order to best answer our question(s). Both prior to entering and even while in there, the customer service was great. Under normal circumstances, I think I would rate this store a 5/5. I struggle to write this review without mentioning safety cautions, which are important for me at this time for myriad reasons. I've debated whether I should mention these things in these types of reviews (maybe that's a conversation for a different time), and I'm willing to remove or edit when it is no longer relevant. However, what bothered me, a lot, actually, was the lack of social distancing precautions taking place within the store. No employees were wearing masks and only half of the customers in the main area of the store were wearing masks. The store still had their separate section (a room that is attached, but separated from the main store) operating for game time, and at least 10 young adults (~20s) were there eating snacks and playing games. While I only quickly peeked inside (before realizing it wasn't part of the store), I saw only one person sitting at a table playing games wearing a thin mask. As a health scientist and health-cautious individual, this bothersome to me for various reasons, with one of them being my comfortability with leaving the house, especially for non essential items, is not high. When I do go somewhere, however, I expect and hope that places are at least follow minimum recommended CDC guidelines. Because they were totally lacking at Green Dragon this weekend, my partner and I purchased his book and quickly left as fast as possible. We talked about this the entire car ride home - wondering why this was the case? Why aren't the employees concerned for themselves? Or their customers? How should I rate the review because of it?Perhaps most disappointedly, we discussed how under other circumstances, we would have been in that store for at LEAST an hour, and probably longer, looking and likely purchasing way too many games and books for ourselves, our family, and friends. Because this is so important to me, I've decided to rate 3 stars and cut the difference, while being fully transparent in explaining my reasoning. My initial reaction was to rate 1 star altogether because of this, frankly because I find it so unacceptable and astonishing, but I want to try my best to also be balanced and fair, to a degree, realizing that if we all weren't facing these unprecedented times, my impression of the place wouldn't be close to what it is. My plan is that following the pandemic, I hope to return. When I do, I am certain I will change my review to 4 or 5 stars.

My grandson lost his little mind when we walked into this store for the first time 2yrs ago! If your child loves LEGO, this is definitely a must-visit! The selection is AMAZING--there are Minifigure Maker tables, Ball Figs, preassembled figures, loose pieces, lego by the bags, and tons of packaged sets. The combinations and possibilities are truly endless! My Grandson especially loves Harry Potter sets, The mandalorian, Swat teams, and Starwars. He absolutely loves his minifigs. I was also pleasantly surprised by the low prices. They were much more reasonable than what I typically pay at Amazon, Macy's or Walmart for his LEGO sets. A huge shout-out to Jamie and Jeremiah D for being so friendly, helpful, and welcoming! They signed us up for the loyalty rewards program, and I was even able to use my military discount. We also learned about their affordable birthday party options, which is definitely something to keep in mind! If you have a LEGO lover in your family, you must stop here atheist once. Whether you're looking for a special set, building pieces, Minifigures, or just want to let a child's imagination run wild, this place has it all. Highly recommend for all your LEGO needs!

Chase, the young man working, matched my son's enthusiasm as he showed us each treasure and minifig! He knew exactly where to find the pieces my son was asking about and showed us all the amazing sets and builds they were working on! This is a hidden gem for Charleston parents!! What a lovely unexpected surprise!! We will be regular customers and will more than likely plan his next birthday party here, as he loves Legos so much!
