Finally went into the new location for Mega Gaming and Comics recently for a game with some…read morefriends. Truth be told, I was not impressed. They have plenty of floorspace, don't get me wrong, and they have a lot of inventory, most of it locked behind glass doors that you have to call a sales person over to open. Seated there for a couple of hours, I found that the place is kept at a temperature that is a bit too warm. Combine that with the lighting that is too stark and the lack of sound proofing that causes echoes to occur everywhere, and staying within the building for any length of time is not a pleasant experience. I get the distinct feeling that this is a storefront where they want you to come in, select something, buy it, and get out. I felt no sense of community in the store, no warmth (except for the heat), and no real welcomeness.

Really great selection!! Went in to trade some old comics and they were very accommodating and…read morehelpful. Their selection of Pokemon cards is also awesome, and picked up some while I was here!! My only suggestion/complaint is the lack of manga, which I was hoping they'd have more of.

As a retro gamer, I love coming here! In south Florida I used to have to drive almost 2 hours to…read morefind a retro gaming store and I love that now there's one 15-20 minutes away from me! They have a pretty good selection of games, there was a very nice gentleman that helped me find some games I was looking for (I forgot his name but I will edit this if I find out) the prices are definitely more than fair, and they said that they get new games in daily from trade ins so that always makes me happy! Just a heads up they do have a section over at their glass counter that's has an extra set of games, I didn't realize that until one of the nice workers pointed it out to me, they usually put more of the popular/recognizable titles there. Overall I love this place and I would totally come here more often but I would become bankrupt!

Coming from out of town to visit UF this was a total gem mine of a place. HUGE SELECTION of Amiibo, plushies, retro(which I'm extremely into), counsels both common n rare, hand helds, lots of SNES/DS/3DS, modern day game and lots of friendly faces. If you enjoy any of this stuff IT WOULD BE A DISSERVICE FOR YOU NOT TO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT. Also they had a bunch of huge tables in the back for locals to kick back or bust out some decks. They also offered to let me use their Wi-Fi. BIG BIG EPIC Shout out to Wes, Chris and Joey. Thank you for your kindness Wes. I found two of my hidden gems here and they also have a disc cleaner if you got a beat up scratch a datch one at home you need fixing so it's playable. I WISH THIS WAS MY LOCAL. Better than Disney world.

An extremely large selection of tcg games, now I see why my co-workers love going there to do their tabletop gaming and card games. And their pricing is reasonable.

I haven't been to the Friends of the Library book sale in a while, so going was kind of an…read moreexperience. I didn't really have a goal in mind for what I wanted, so just going through the stacks and browsing to see if anything caught my eye was the basic plan. Lots of people lined up, but I got through the line pretty quickly. Inside, the books are arranged in a reasonable order, and the different sections are easy to identify, so finding areas that interested me was not a problem. Coming across the cooking section, I found that there were a number of smaller cookbooks that I like to term as "Wive's Club Cookbooks" which can be some of the best/most entertaining cookbooks you can come across due to the nature of the recipes that are contained in them. You never know what you are going to find in them, though recipes from the 1960's are prevalent and gelatin comes into heavy play. Good stuff there, and I stocked up on them. Overall, the Friends of the Library book sale is always a good thing to go to!

Even here Liberals have to assert their politics. The book 'Rigged' by Molly Hemingway was in a section labeled "Political Fiction".

They have books,…read moreFunkos, CDs, records, collectibles, kids toys, blind bags, and pretty much every 80's baby dream item you could think of. My daughter and I loved the variety and could honestly spend forever looking around. I also think it's really neat that they buy your items and resell gently used treasures, so you never know what you're going to find. It's such a fun place to shop if you're looking for a unique or special gift. There's plenty of parking, the staff always says hi when I walk in, and the whole vibe is welcoming and nostalgic. Overall highly recommended. Definitely check it out!

We stopped in Gainsville on the way back to Clermont because of one of my favorite restaurants there and didn't know there was a 2nd & Charles 5 mins away. So we stopped by to check it out however the sevice wasn't good. My boyfriend wanted to see something and no one offered to help him so we left because 2 employees rather stand around talking to each other rather than help the customer. Needless to say we left and didn't get anything this trip.

I personally have to note this was the CLEANEST bathroom in all of the Coliseum of Comics I've visited in Florida. The price ranges were on par with all of the other stores in the state as well. The main reason I wanted to leave this 5 star review was for the young man working the counter in the front. Warm welcome the moment we walked in, attentive to any questions we had, and overall the KINDEST employee we have ever interacted with in the 9 locations I have been to. I unfortunately did not catch his name but he must be college age since he said he was getting ready for his midterms. We fan girled over Hunchback of Notre Dame because of my earrings and I told him to look up 1998 Notre Dame De Paris on YouTube. Having more workers with his customer service skills/ level of friendliness makes a huge difference compared to others we have been to in the past.

I have only seen a $10 Below sign, so I don't think anything is above that price. This is a great place for :cookbooks, cell phone accessories, gifts, speakers, headphones, toys, make-up, etc. All prices are marked, and they have lots of choices. It is agreat store to just come by and look through, because you will invariably see something and say, "This is cool; I can use that!" They also have hands-free deivices for $5 bucks! I bought one, and it is 5x better than the $20 one that I bought at Best Buy! That one mounted in the heater vent, and overheated my phone in the middle of an Uber ride! Not good!!!

This small store sells fresh-brewed coffee, as well as publications from independent press companies. The selection is varied, and there's even a section of books specifically meant to read in house. The menu is small and straightforward, featuring less than ten items, all under $10. Seating is limited with about four tables, two couches and a coffee table. The store has a very cozy atmosphere and is a great place to sit and get work done if things aren't too busy. They do host events on some nights, such as readings, meetings and mic nights, all of which are posted on their Facebook page. Third House has an open hallway connecting it to Downtown Wine & Cheese next door. They are separately owned, but may have deals during events like Open Mic Night (50% off one glass of house wine). I enjoyed my time at Third House, and I hope to see the business thrive. They have my support for sure.
