If you're hunting for vinyl, this is where to go: great selection, huge catalog, great prices,…read moreawesome finds. About a year ago I decided to try to rebuild the core of the record collection I had in the 80's. I started with flea markets and picked up a good album here and there. But things only really took off when I found this site. They've got thousands of records, many for under 10 bucks. The owner is a great guy, friendly, and easy to deal with. He once emailed me just to let me know that I had purchased the same album twice. The second one was for my son, but he didn't want me to have 2 of the same in case it was a mistake. Who does that? Seriously, check this site out. Make sure you use the search in the top right to look for bands, or albums, or artists. Of course you could spend over an hour and go through the whole site like I did the first time I saw it. :)

Need comics, board games or collectables? I've no doubt that you'll find them here. Especially if…read moreyou're looking for Funko. Probably the biggest collection of different figures I've seen in Halifax. The store is quite large, which is surprising because it doesn't look big from the street. It doesn't look like much, but once you start wandering through the store you'll find the selection unbeatable. I didn't interact with the staff on this visit - they were busy chatting with someone else about board games, and I didn't need any help so I didn't bother them - but they seem really knowledgeable and excited to share their knowledge with customers.

Monster Comic Lounge is located along Gottingen Street…read more It is a Hidden Gem, for all those Comic Fans. I actually went on a search for this store. You have to know where to look or you will miss it for sure. I happened to meet the owner Mike. A pretty relaxed guy, I guess you would have to be in this business. I have never seen so many comics in my life. This store is jammed packed full of adventure of all kinds, there is not an ounce of space not used. Mike has been at this location for about 4 years, but has been in the business for much longer. This store is know by an elite group of people already. You will find your new and used Comic Books, Game Boards, Graphic Novels (20% off) always, Action Figures, Card Games. I am probably missing a lot, but lets just say, Mike has it. Now, I have to say, it is worth the venture to see the Statue of Yoda (look at the picture attached). It is fantastic. Life Sized!! Who knew Comics had such a large following. Well they do! Go and Enjoy.

This shop is amazing! The owner is very friendly and accomodating, a pet friendly shop, and if you…read moreare looking for something and he does not have it, he will find it. And the local products are wonderful! You can find things that cover nearly every fandom out there and some take requests as well. Wood craft signs, resin products, knit/crochet/sewn. And he does have delivery options and online shop.

Cute shop, lots of great merch and a wonderful LGBTQ+ friendly atmosphere, but the prices were very…read morehigh, even for the stuff that isn't locally-made or handmade. There are pillows in there for example - just two pieces of fabric sewn together and stuffed, nothing fancy - for over thirty bucks. In this economy? There are things up about the store that also refer to Canada as "Turtle Island", which is preachy and a colonizer term (colonists brought maps from above and the "Turtle Island" thing is contentious and offensive to other Indigenous tribes that don't adhere to this term for Canada). I was only able to afford a pinback button (an ace flag, I love ace representation!) and a second-hand Beanie Baby because most of the new merch was so expensive. Friendlier environment than Strange Adventures, and I loved how kind and approachable the staff were. To be fair, this is a somewhat recently-established shop in comparison with its competition, and so the price thing might just be teething troubles, but nobody in this economic climate could afford to buy much here.

If you're into comics ..whether you're hunting down classic back issues or looking for new…read morereleases. Strange Adventures on Prince Street is an absolute must-visit landmark in Halifax. The store itself has an incredible atmosphere: packed wall-to-wall with an expansive selection of back-issue bins, modern floppies, graphic novels, indie titles, and local East Coast creators. It manages to bridge the gap between a welcoming neighborhood shop and a true enthusiast's treasure trove.  Prices are super reasonable.. The highlight of the experience is easily the staff. Getting to chat with Dave, a staple of the shop who also writes and draws his own fantastic indie books (like The Makers) really highlights what makes local comic shops special. Getting a copy of a creator's own work directly from them behind the counter is as cool as it gets.

First off, big thumbs up for investing in downtown Dartmouth!…read more Secondly, a nice expansion to the Strange Adventures brand. Providing all your comic/fantasy/sci-fi needs in a wee tiny little shop? That's the model upon which the Strange Adventures' legend was built. There are, of course, some downsides to such a small location. It can be a bit cramped and definitely intimate. If you're incredibly shy, this may not be the best venue for you. The stock is also limited but they can order in pretty much anything you want that's not in store. Still, they have the latest and greatest. Whether you're buying for yourself or getting a gift for someone, staff can help you navigate the geekery and find just what you're looking for. Overall, a great addition to Strange Adventures' line and to Dartmouth.

Why drive over to Halifax and have to fake being cool and ironic when you can roll into GRC and be appreciated and welcomed. The store is easy to get to- Dartmouth is not located in the Gemini sector of deep space- just cross the bridge people! Oh do I get tired of people belly aching about Dartmouth being too "far" away! The selection of toys, comics, and games is pretty sweet, but the used toy cabinets are the best! Every day is a new adventure and collectors will be sure to find gems here rather than be jacked up on kijiji and eBay. The service is really what sets this joint apart! People come to see Daroptimus Prime, owner and leader of the geekobots Take the time to talk to him, you might piss your self laughing in the process. He is a solid guy and is a customer service specialist! Anyway, we are going today! See you there.

I love this store! The first time I went in I spent a half hour just chatting. The store is pretty…read moresmall but they are clean and well lit. It has a very welcoming and warm atmosphere.

I stopped in here a few times because I always love a good comic book store experience. When I came…read morein I was really happy that they had so many cool things to look at. I wouldn't necessarily call myself a comic book fan but I love to look at the manga and figurines. I asked if they had any Archie comic books for sale and I was directed toward some and was told that they were selling old Archie books for $1.00 each. I couldn't believe my ears. I excitedly asked where I could find them and I bought five of them. I've loved the Archie books since I was a kid (before the terrible television show Riverdale came out). I thanked the store employee for being so helpful and he introduced me to their adorable dog who I now follow on Instagram. The dog's Instagram handle is @strangegromit. Please give this dog a follow. He's SO CUTE! While he isn't always at the store, if you go every day like I did while I was in Halifax, you're bound to run into him at some point.

I just brought in my record collection to sell (about 10 NSLC wine boxes) and David went through…read morethe lot and gave me a very fair price. It was kind of incredible to see him sort everything, check for damage, and share his vast knowledge of the artists and how the records were recorded/produced, etc. My friend and I ended up hanging out for a bit after closing and chatting with David and another customer. The whole experience was A+.

My favourite place to shop for vinyl! Definitely worth the trip to Bedford, there is something…read morehere for everyone: rock, pop, motown, country, classical, soundtracks, etc. I've even bought recordings of comics like George Carlin here in the past. They also have a large collection of CDs and DVDs, and every time I go I walk away with some amazing deals. The owner is friendly and helpful, and if you're looking to get rid of any of your old music or movies, he'll take them off your hands for cash or store credit (store credit seems like the way to go in most cases, since he tends to be more generous with that than cash). As Adam B. mentioned, he brings his dog to work with him, she usually lounges on the floor in one of the aisles (which isn't really a problem as she seems friendly enough and is usually eager for a quick pat as you walk by).
