I come here once a month or so. My wife and I love it (although one time she didn't get as much…read moreselling them books as she wanted, but that's not the point of this review). Today I had a rather complex purchase/exchange I needed done, and Angel couldn't have been more helpful. He was very professional in how he handled everything. It's the type of thing us regular customers like to see. That way to run a business is perfect. This is easily my favorite place to get used books, CDs, and DVDs.

I came in search of anime figures and I will say that the selection was VAST albeit very chaotic in…read moreits organization. Their manga selection was large and very well organized. They also have a large selection of Japanese manga too which I've not seen at other stores and was cool to see! We browsed their games and Pokemon cards as well. They had a lot of consoles and handhelds. They had a lot of dvds and blueray. Their regular book selection was extensive though I didn't look too much as it wasn't why I was there and my husband and kids were wanting to go get dinner. Overall while it was a very cool place, I feel like the pricing left a lot to be desired. Most of the manga I came across that I was interested in were priced very close to or at MSRP and the figures were disappointing bc every single one that I recognized and happened to know the going price on was significantly higher than it should be -- even super used ones that had no box were priced higher than you could get them for brand new! So even though I wanted to take the time to dig through the chaos and find a gem it made me hesitant bc i figured that even if I did find something I wanted, the odds were likely that it would be marked well over its value

I loved this Comic Book Store. A good mix of rare collectable comics on display (see photos)…read more Graphic Novels. Back issues. Action Figures. Friendly staff. Definitely check it out in downtown San Diego if you are into comics. Ran the gamut of affordable books to costly for near mint condition collectible comics both old or in demand.

Date of visit: July 24, 2024…read more As part of Comic-Con 2024, Now Or Never Comics was participating in the festivities in two ways - by having a raffle for three CGC-rated books with purchase of the most recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles book... and a free pizza party. AUTOMATIC FIVE-STAR RATING! Okay, besides that, Now or Never is one of the few (if not only) comic book stores in Downtown San Diego. It's actually cleaner and more organized than the ones I frequent, but the relatively small size of the building means they don't have as much in stock as I'd like. Case in point, I wanted to show my appreciation for supporting SDCC by getting a couple of graphic novels of Trese and Usagi Yojimbo, but the ones I wanted weren't in stock. But, given how I was surprised to see a comic book store a few blocks away from the Convention Center, I can see myself probably checking it out again whenever I'm in the area.

THE FORGOTTEN GAMESTOP (5 stars)…read more I keep forgetting there is a GameStop in the back of this plaza! I like it more than the ones I usually go to - because parking is easy and they always have the games I'm looking for. Surprisingly, the day I went there were quite a handful of people in the store but I was quickly helped and I like how the employees engage with you about the game you are excited to buy, it makes it more exciting when they fill you in on their excitements. I think every GameStop I've shopped at the employees are so friendly! Will need to make this my home store! Until the next review...

Came today to pick up my pre orders for NFL Topps Chrome, was told by store manager Jeremy he saw I…read morehad 2 pre orders and they only allowed 1 pre order per customer so I was told they had to cancel my 2nd pre order, and that he would talk to his employees so they were aware of the limitations/quantity limits on pre orders, and would issue a refund for the 2nd pre order that they already cancelled & He apologized for the misinformation his employees provided. I then asked if he had any stock in the back as Game Stop was also getting their inventory in for the NFL Topps Chrome where you could purchase them if there was any available. JEREMY the store manager mind you, told me nope they already sold out of all their stock and only have the pre order inventory. We left the store & called about 10 minutes later, guess who answered the phone? JEREMY THE STORE MANAGER, and we asked if they had any of the NFL Topps Chrome available for purchase where he proceeded to say YES WE DO.... Like are you kidding me? So the store manager lied right to my face 10 minutes prior when I was just in the store & asked; but yet called & then was told YES they do have stock available. Seems JEREMY likes to pick & choose who he sells to. The store manager JEREMY has very poor/bad customer service & also lied to his customers. It's no wonder this Game Stop location isn't doing that well because you have a guy like this running the store. Don't recommend this GameStop location at all, and would stay far clear of it. Who knows what else the store manager Jeremy lies about. Very bad experience all around.

Store is well organized and staff was friendly. This place is better than GameStop. We left with several games all well priced. I'm sure this won't be their last time visiting. The boys are happy to have found this little gem. Easy parking too in lot.

I like this shop because it's very convenient when you're shopping here and they are always nice and helpful.

I really like the staff here. I always feel welcome and have a good experience.

NERDY NEEDS! (4 stars)…read more GameStop has always been such a cool store. Even cooler during the pandemic to purchase the needs to keep occupied and safe. And even cooler when trading options on meme stocks and making some cash flow! - New games, preowned games. And occasional deals such as buy 2 preowned get 1 free. - New and preowned equipment. The preowned is in petty good shape if you are looking to save some money. - They sell random retail nicknacks for those toy enthusiasts. I never considered myself a gamer until the pandemic. I played games virtually with friends, strangers, myself. I bought all the gadgets... The Switch, Meta Oculus Quest, and was fine not being outside (or physically social). Overall, I like coming in and buying myself a video game when my introvert side hits hard. What I noticed lately, they no longer give out plastic bags. I get it the new California rule but it would be nice to have tiny paper bags or something. I had asked them to tape the receipt to my game as I'll be walking into other stores that sell the same product. It's weird carrying an open item without a bag. But carrying my video game around the mall sparked random small chitchats with workers in other stores. Talking about a video game sure beats talking about the weather. Until the next review...

The staff was very helpful and super friendly. Prices were great. We went to see a friend at an event and it just happened to be Comic Book day.

Hubs found another "happy place" in SD County!…read more Knowhere G&C is located in an industrial area of San Marcos, near an antique mall, several home furnishings stores and next to San Marcos Deli. This seems an ideal location, with plenty of free parking and, judging by the flow of pedestrian traffic in and out of this shop on a "Comic Book Wednesday" many customers agree. Hubs declared a large selection of comics, games and collectibles. He proudly emerged over an hour after parking with a smile on his cute nerdy face and a bag filled with reading materials in his hand. He was very surprised and happy that his purchase amount ~$80TL awarded him with a cool graphic novel. Happiness shortly turned to a bit of confusion when he took a moment to peruse his receipt and discovered he had been charged about 4x the amount he should have been for a comic. He checked online to make sure he didn't grab a ltd edition, or special release, and determined he hadn't. I waited while he returned inside. About 10 minutes he reemerged - HAPPY AGAIN! Seems the clerk, Daniel (guessing from the receipt ), didn't catch it and agreed it had been incorrectly priced. He further apologized saying he usually catches the comics over $20 and confirms the customer is aware when they are purchasing a more expensive issue. So Daniel was sorry he missed that completely. Hubs confirmed that he was still ok receiving the free graphic novel and was assured, yes, his purchase amount still qualified for the free novel. The over charge was returned to Hubs and he was happy with the store, Daniel and his customer service. Knowhere G&C has been bookmarked for our future SD road trips. Cheers! "CC"
