I have visited this store a few times. I always end up…read moregetting tons of stuff and spending a small fortune! haha! The shop itself is very narrow, tightly-spaced and a little tough to navigate through. But it's still worth a look. Great selection of all kinds of toys, old and new and many different brands as well. I've managed to get some interesting deals on some must-have items. I even found an entire toy set I had when I was a kid, which are some of my favorite types of finds as they take me back to my childhood. The prices can sometimes be a bit steep, but if you're a serious collector or you're just a big kid at heart, then it's totally worth it! My favorites are the wrestling figures, there are so many to choose from and some you can't find anywhere else. Some awesome additions to the collection have been found here. However, some toys in the store are hanging on the shelf in a plastic bag, which makes it difficult to see what they are and to browse through as I have to take all of them off the rack one-by-one to get to the one I want to see. If there was an easier way to do that, it'd be great. I'm sure the other patrons don't appreciate me holding up traffic while I rifle through several dozen little baggies that are above my head, trying not to tear the plastic or knock everything off the wall while I am squeezed in the six-inch amount of floor space between the displays. I also like the Hot Wheels cars, the blind boxes, and they usually have some really cute stuff by the front door like scented candles with cool themes, plushies, and bright, colorful goodies that could lift anyone's spirit with their innocent and happy stylings. Overall, I think it's a great spot to get some really cool pieces of one's playful past or a new addition to the lifelong obsession! So whether you're a sentimental sap who needs a good reminder of simpler times, or if you have managed to maintain your imagination and enjoy some wholesome fun, then this is the place for you! (and me, since I happen to fit both descriptions.) (they could use some shopping baskets, though.)

I was able to trade some graphic novels for store credit and purchase a few toys that were missing from my collection. Prices are very reasonable if not close to retail. This place isn't trying to break your bank and mark up the price like some other shops in the area. Staff is helpful and fair with store credit offer on items I brought in to trade. Looking forward to doing more trades.

The service is great, and they let you verify that game consoles/cartridge games are legit before you buy. This place is absolutely amazing, I just wish they'd buy at a slightly higher price. This place is worth checking out for books, movies, games, manga, and even collectibles. This is like Cool Stuff or Videogame Heaven, but with even more great things to buy. I'm extremely happy with my WiiU special edition, and the low price I bought it at. Thank you so much for your wonderful service :)

I took the money and wrote this sour review, haha. Poor me aside, the female employee who assisted me was very kind. The male when I returned, though, not so much. I'll also say they do have a great selection of items to purchase. And their prices were reasonable for the few autobiographies I found. Maybe that's it. They give you next to nothing for your stuff so they can price books on the cheap too???

I've been in several times now and always find something I want to purchase for my daughter every time. They're always marking down seasonal items so some great deals can be found and they're well-stocked with the basics for every day. Seasonal outfits are always here in plenty of time to get something cute for a holiday or upcoming event. They have a consignment section in the back where you can find gently used items in various sizes like coats and snow gear, onesies, etc. They have tons of accessories for children and babies as well as cute developmental toys age appropriate. I love the location in Hilltop near tons of other fashionable shopping and great dining - it's one of my favorite shopping centers in town.

We received a humiliating lecture in not reading the receipt which has 8 different store credit policy that makes no sense considering this store appears to be a small vendor that relies on thr community to keep the doors open. But the icing in the cake was the store manager I believe, he didn't announce his role, slipped out of his mouth that most niggers can't read as the cashier was preparing the cash back return for the item after saying he will allow it this one time. I guess he decided to break his own policy that is written on his receipt of no cash back returns - only store credit by how huge my eyes got when I heard the horrible word come out of his mouth. I will never return and I feel sorry for the African American male store cashier that works there for his calm and kind demeanor is what made me purchase in the first place. I will also be reporting this place to the BBB as well, maybe I don't know how to read how to make sure racists store receives reviews that hurt them just like they hurt their customers.

The staff? Legends. They speak fluent nerd, offer reading recommendations like comic sommeliers, and will absolutely roast you (lovingly) if you call Batman a superhero with no powers. This is a pure comic temple. Graphic novels as far as the eye can see. You'll walk in for one issue and leave with enough reading material to survive a small apocalypse. Just don't tell your partner you "accidentally" started a new pull list.

Compared to all the shops I've been too, this is one of the larger LCSs. That's because they also hold playing cards tournaments. That's a whole different animal I don't want to get into. The store has it all. You want modern, old age, graphic novels, back issues, $1 bins, slabs, toy collectibles, figures, Pops, manga, and other art works, it's here. Along with candy, snacks, soda and a bathroom. How long do these card tournaments last? Geeks, told you they're different animals. ;p Much respect to the card community. And I guess they pass out tee shirts to new visitors. Automatic five stars there. Seriously overall is five stars. This place has it all and the people working there were very nice. I was able to chat with all of them and understand the comic book community area a bit better. Virginia is a big hub for the community and they get packed. So what are you waiting for, a movie? Get a book are read about it. M
