A lot of my childhood memories don't even really include buying things here- my parents weren't exactly rolling in the dough in the 90's but this place was so magical I never left disappointed. But- here's my adult perspective review. I love coming here for the nostalgia, gifts for everyone in my life, the seasonal items, and for The dopamine hit. I love all of their fidget toys, tiny silly toys like baby doll race cars (as in a car in the shape of a baby), blind box toys and their trading set up, and baby section. This is where you go when your friend is having a baby and already has all of the gear she needs. This is where you get stickers, your Christmas ornaments, a jellycat moon that is larger than you, a family of squirrels, a custom dollhouse family...I could go on and on.

It's always a thrill to step in and find a little trinket to take home with me. A true toy store. We are lucky to still have some like this in Austin. RIYL: Childhood wonder

I bought a bunch of EX and illustrator rare cards for my son for super cheap prices! The place is always packed and it's just an overall magical place to shop. Only expensive buy are the stuffies and some of the nano block models. But aren't they always the most expensive buy anywhere?!

Updated review 12/20/23:…read more So I heard back from the company via text, and I was given my tracking information. It wasn't instant... it took about 2 days, I imagine it's because of the busy holiday season, but I ended getting my tracking number and the expected delivery date is on schedule as advertised when I purchased my item. I went ahead and gave 2 more stars. I would highly recommend that the company simply shoot out an automatic confirmation email after a purchase is made followed by tracking info shortly after that. -------- They don't send out any confirmation of your online order. The chat and number they provide to contact them is a joke because nobody responds to you. When you call the phone number instead of texting it, they have a greeting which is reassuring until it says they'll connect you to the next available agent and it doesn't even ring... you just sit there in silence. This is the useless phone number that is provided on their website: (512) 257-2399

From the outside, it sits quietly in a North Austin shopping center near Hop Doddy's. If you blink, you might miss it. Once you step through the doors, you feel transported to a totally different place like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter story. You find shelves of comics, books, games...everywhere your imagination can take you. Dragon's Lair has been part of the Austin community since 1986. You feel a rush to flip through comics, try on costumes or transport yourself to a fantasy land. New releases co-exist with long loved series. Graphic novels, tabletop games, miniatures, dice, and collectibles are readily available. The prices at Dragon's Liar appear reasonable. According to the store manager, the tables within the store are reserved for Magic tournaments, Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) campaigns, and board games spread across tables. The energy is welcoming fostering collaboration between new and existing players. The shop cats, Diana and Brigid, wander through aisles like they own the place, which makes Dragon Liar feel homey and welcoming. The store stays open late sometimes, acknowledging that games and stories don't always fit neatly into set hours. Dragon's Lair is huge, busy, sometimes overwhelming in a good way. It reflects Austin's creative culture...inclusive, and deeply passionate.
