    As we walked in there was a community of people playing games and having a great time. We stopped…read moreby to check out the comics and were able to find a few books to add to the collection. They have a large selection of back issues and new releases. If you are looking for graphic novels instead don't worry they've probably got what you are looking for. I do wish they had more $1 books and more expensive wall books, but overall a good amount of inventory to browse through. They also have Funko Pops, Board Games, Magic the Gathering, and other TCGs. This was a very welcoming space and the guy at the counter helped me out with a few questions I had. We will be back!

    Y'all KNOW if there's a new game store in town I have to show up to scout out the situation…read more Spoiler alert: this one is a WIN. R - Really cool owner. I choose my game shops largely based on interactions with the staff. They can make or break your experience. Mikey was incredibly inviting and upbeat - definitely made us want to come back! O - Opportunity to meet other people that love to game. Rockhopper drew a pretty decent crowd for being open such a short time. Can't wait to see it on a busy day. C - Commander nights on Saturdays and Tuesdays starting at 4pm. Most places start later and make it tough to work into your schedule. This is a huge win for me. K - Knowledge. There is nothing worse than a game store owner that knows nothing about games. Mikey had all the information pertaining to games, sets, scheduling, and his clientele. He's a real one. H - Hangover commander. Yes. Sundays are the day for hangover commander, D&D, and whatever else people are feeling like after a rough Saturday night. We love to see it. O - Open to everyone. As they should be. Happy Pride Month! P - Penguin theme. Self explanatory. P - Pretty good selection of comics, singles, board games, and other various game related items. E - Environment. The location and the vibe were very cool to us. It's nice to have a gaming location outside of the cities that is doing everything right! R - Raffles. Always fun. To conclude: we were pumped to find this spot. I'm curious to see how they'll handle busy times as it's a bit on the smaller side - but I imagine they'll have it all figured out. If I can order singles to this store - it's game over. Go check it out!

    I was hesitant to stop by the store due to one of the reviews below (not recommended by Yelp) and…read moreI've had some bad experiences with collection stores in the past too (I'm an avid classic gaming collector and I collected Magic/Comics years ago). Very glad I ignored that bad review and stopped by for a visit. Amazing store, good selection, great/friendly owner. The first thing you'll notice when you walk in the store is the DVD collection. They have a huge inventory. I'm not a big collector of DVD's so I can't really comment on the prices or selection. However, they have a ton, they are well organized, and I'm sure if you are looking for movies this would be a great place to come. I was really impressed with their collection of Board Games. I've always wanted to try some of the challenging games like The Settlers of Catan (which the store had an entire collection), but have always shied away because of the price (I'd hate to buy a game I know very little about and find out that I don't like them). Next time I'm in the store, I'll ask the owner about them and find out more information. I mainly checked out the store today for their Graphic Novels and Comics. I haven't collected in years and I just wanted to pick up a few good books for their stories. The owner helped me find the Walking Dead comics I wanted and pointed out some books he highly recommended. The store has a wall of "guaranteed" books, in which they'll buy the book back if you don't like them. In addition to that, they offer a buy 10 and get 1 free card. I only glanced quickly at their video games because I was in a hurry and had already spent a good amount of time talking to the owner. I like my games in mint condition with boxes and manuals. Most of the titles seemed to be loose carts (I'm talking about older stuff), so this might not be the best selection for hard-core collectors, but they had a large selection for people just interested in a good game. The best part of the store is the owner. You can always find collectables cheaper online (don't forget online stores don't have overhead like rent), but you come to places like this for the customer service. You can tell Jim loves what he does and is excited to share it with others. There's so much stuff out there to buy that it is really nice to have stores like Jimmyjams for suggestions. Great clean and organized store. I'll be back when I'm in town.

    Stopped here, passing through from Appleton to Wabasha MN. Very nice selection. LOVED the dice…read moretrays they have... Thought Id wait till we were home from vacation to purchase one in our home town..Disappointed to discover no one else carries the same one.. So wish I had grabbed it!

    It's not every day you stumble across a video game store with the old school cool stuff like ATARI,…read moreSEGA, etc. The front of the store was current console games, and the further back you went, the further back in history you went... to the 1990's, the 1980's... I grew up in that era so I was stoked to see so many old familiar titles on display. I will say the place felt almost more like a museum or a hobbyist's den than a store, lol. Not a lot of obvious price tags on much of the older stuff; clearly if you were interested in purchasing, you'd need to get the help of an employee. Most of it was either behind glass or on an inaccessible shelf as well. Which makes a certain sense, because these are collector's pieces at this point that require careful handling. You don't want any kid wandering in and messing with a game cartridge worth $100+. I didn't buy anything while there, but it was really fun to marvel and take it all in like a sightseer, or time traveler haha. It was a pretty large store (at least double the footprint than GameStop) and there were plenty of fun decorations on the walls or hanging from the ceiling. Lots of arcade cabinets and such. Anyway, they must be doing okay because this is their newest secondary location. I'll have to stop by the original in Shakopee sometime.

    Has potential, but poor decisions hold it back…read more I have been to this store to a few times because I was already in the mall. When you walk in for the first time you are wowed by the amount of games and variety of items they have. Any gamer or nerd would love looking at their inventory. The problem is NOTHING IS PRICED. My biggest pet peeve is when stores do not price items. Do you expect me to come to the front and ask you the price on a bunch of games? It makes zero sense. You lost a customer because of it. There were probably 20 games I was interested in getting prices for but I am not waiting that long for an employee to look them up and give me market or above market price (according to other reviews). I am sure they have lost many customers because they want to save a few bucks on market fluctuations. Stupid business decisions will cripple stores like this. I think the funniest part is the only thing in the store that's price is their trading cards. I don't care if stores price their Pokemon above MSRP. It's the norm now, it doesn't bother me, but when you can't price a $10 game but you are over TCG/Ebay on trading cards it makes you laugh. The employees/owners seem so uninterested in talking to people. There was a guy in front of us trying to get some info and they acted like it was a bother. This store has amazing potential. A clean store layout with great inventory is a recipe for success but when you pair it with dumb decisions and bad customer service you will lose many returning customers that could have spent thousands in your store. I'll continue to stop by when I'm in the mall hoping things change.
