True Believers (Located inside Menlo Park Mall)…read more55 Parsonage Rd. Edison, NJ 08837 If you are a millennial and want to relive your past time, this vintage toy store is right up your alley. This location specializes in action figures, statues, retro home consoles, and other keepsakes. As I entered the store, it had the feel of a museum because many items are not available in retail stores. I was especially impressed with the detail of the action figures. The characteristics of each trait are handcrafted perfectly and I can guarantee you will instantly recognize each specific trait. There is a diverse variety of additional merchandise in True Believers. An entire wall is filled Funko Pop! vinyl figures. Although I don't collect any cards, there are many Pokémon trading cards available; they are surprisingly valuable. The video game systems will also keep you entertained. Engage in the Game Boy or neutralize the bad guys with the Nintendo Zapper; now you are playing with power! Although I currently am not in the market for any novelties, it was still a neat experience exploring this store. It is a must visit for true believer that is young at heart. #truebelievers #menloparkmall

I decided to come into this store to see if they had a toy that one of my nephews wanted for…read moreChristmas. The store looked clean, and some areas are organized while other areas were a mess. Pricing: The prices can vary depending on what kind of item you are looking to purchase. Some items are bit overpriced for no reason at all. Items: They have all sorts of items from Funko pops, plushies, video games, hot wheels, Pokemon cards, and etc. The staff: They do not know where the items come from and say that people just sell them anything. When you ask them about selling a toy to them, they give you mixed information. One staff member said to contact them on Facebook on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Another staff member said to contact them on Instagram on Monday and Thursday. When you ask them if it would be cash or store credit they say either is fine. They also do not guarantee that your item can be sold to them even though they say that they buy anything and everything. Overall: The staff members should be knowledgeable about their store and the items they buy and sell. This store is good if you want to buy something once or twice but not all time due to the high pricing for some items.

JC Comics is located in a complex with a pawn ship, martial arts training center, and Italian…read morerestaurant. This is not the largest comic shop, but they make the most of the space available. Good selection of longboxes in easy to pull out drawers, which was unique. Selection of graphic novels, collectables, and Pop Vinyl was also good. Limited selection of wallbooks. Large selection of new pull comic books, one of the best in the area. JC Comics is better than your average New Jersey comic shop stock wise. Staff member was helpful when you needed it. I can understand why some people might miss this shop, as you have to deal with a busy highway to access the complex. JC Comics should not be missed and is a solid shop.

I'd been to the Digital Press Videogames location in Clifton, which is awesome, and only discovered…read morethis location because my kid spotted it when we happened to drive past it. Vowing to return after our event, I brought two of my kids and one of their friends, and we all geeked out over the selection of vintage and used video games for practically every system released since the advent of the Atari 2600. The staff was super helpful in answering questions about legacy systems. There were plenty of amazing values on games from ColecoVision and original NES through the Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch 2 and everything in between. The coin-operated arcade games and pinball machines, with a few free options, were also a blast. Digital Press is an absolute treasure.

I am always in favor of independent game stores still out there buying and selling preowned games…read moreand not affiliated with GameStop. This I believe is the second location of the two Digital Press Videogame shops, if you're a gamer, you feel at home walking in. There are games and accessories from nearly every generation so if you're a collector and want to lay eyes on what you're looking for as opposed to online, it's a necessity to come here. There are operation arcade machines here from 80's to 90's including a few pinball machines. The counter has employees who of course are gamers and what game store wouldn't be complete without regulars who hang around and talk about games as well. As I browsed around the store I was taken back through all the generations which was a good feeling, knowing that stores like this still exist. I could go on about why DPV is a great store, but I'll go over my experience on my latest visit. I went to unload a few games I had no use for anymore and could not sell them alternatively on C-list and the like so I came here. I got a better amount than I thought both cash and store credit (store credit of course being a bit more). Again, if you're a gamer or someone looking for games from yester-year and want to avoid online, try here.

Let me start by saying the staff is super nice but it's not really that much of a comic store…read more It's more of the "modern comics and collectibles" type store we see a lot of now. It's hard to be a die-hard comics only store anymore so I don't blame owners for selling card games and comic related merchandise. But the number of back issues and high-end books are missing considerably. If you a serious collector and read the previous reviews you might be disappointed when you visit looking for certain back issues or 60's, 70's and even 80's stock.

They have organized play for D&D, Magic, and a few others. I've found the regular players to be very welcoming and friendly. Prices are competitive but typically higher than online, but you get your product right away and you get staff to help you if you're not sure what to buy. Parking in the gravel lot is limited.
