I recently got into Magic the Gathering and saw these guys when I was looking for local gaming…read morestore. It is located at a strip mall - easily miss out on the road. When I arrived - few minutes after opening, I was greeted by friendly employees. We had a short conversation like they asked what do I play. I like that it was casual and I never felt uncomfortable browsing the store. I never felt pressured to buy anything. They had tables in the back of the store for tournaments. The staff was helpful to help me locate certain cards - they were not able to tell me if the card was in stock, but they looked up the card and was able to point which box the card may be located in. (At the time, it looks like they were updating their cards/inventory/pricing. They found the card I was looking for and hand it to me.) Again, the place felt casual because even though I found my card, I kept browsing and they let me look through. I'm glad they didn't say, "will that be all for today" after finding the card I was looking for. Overall, I will be back for more cards.

Located in the Milton Square historic buildings! They moved in this past winter…read more The selection here is impressive! There's a TON of inventory in the back room waiting to be organized and put out, but I get that takes a while. It didn't feel the most shopper-ready yet. My brother found some things he was excited about, and I found a few unique books! The owner is so kind and has plans to do DND and game nights as well as music nights with all their space. 3 books was ~$40 so not the most affordable prices, but I'm not super tuned in with what comic books run. I think in a few more months the space will be more visitor-ready with more inventory available to look through!

We were happy to have Free Comic Book Day return this year. Mind's Eye was the only place we wanted…read moreto go and so we did. They are in a new location since our last visit (used to be in Eagan). Per usual, everyone was friendly and helpful. I found a Harriet Tubman comic that I didn't even know existed. I bought the two copies they had. Everything was well organized and easy to peruse both the free and paid comics they have. This space is much smaller than their previous location. Fortunately, everyone was masked, which made us feel more at ease. One of the things I really love about this place, in addition to the fact that it's POC owned, is that I can be an all-out geek and nerd without getting any side eye. Chatting with the staff is fun and I always learn something new. I don't follow the comic world closely, so getting an update and to see the excitement of the person talking is quite infectious. It's probably why I've yet to spend less than $40 when we go there. Whether it's FCBD or not, this is the play for comics, graphic novels, and all kinds of things that you'll not find anywhere else. Stop in!

I'm incredibly disappointed and honestly heartbroken over an experience I recently had with Hub…read moreHobby regarding my Traxxas T-Maxx/X-Maxx RC truck. I dropped the truck off for repair, and while I understood repairs can sometimes take a while, the process took a very long time. Eventually, I received one phone call letting me know the repair had been completed. Unfortunately, after 90 days of not picking it up, I later learned that the truck had been surrendered. What's hardest for me to understand is that I never received a second phone call, voicemail, warning, or any kind of notice that my truck was about to be surrendered. Not one. What makes this especially frustrating is that over the years I've received numerous phone calls from the store over much smaller things -- special-ordered parts, minor items, and other routine pickups. So it's difficult for me to understand why there wasn't more effort made to contact me over something worth nearly $2,000 and carrying so much personal value. This hobby store means a lot to me personally. My late father used to take me there when I was younger, and some of my best memories with him came from spending time there together. These days, I love bringing my own two children there and sharing the same hobby with them. That's why this situation feels so devastating. It wasn't just an RC truck to me. It represented years of memories, time, money, and something meaningful I shared across generations of my family. I understand businesses have policies, and I'm not trying to attack anyone personally. I just truly wish more effort had been made before permanently surrendering something that clearly meant so much to a longtime customer. I still hope there's some way this situation can be made right.

They also have singles and sealed sports cards. I've been coming here for about two years and before the boom in One Piece and Pokemon they were always stocked with the best prices. Nowadays just like everywhere else you can't find anything sealed. Although I haven't gone to a release myself they do a great job at distributing product at good prices. I love coming in when I'm up in Maple Grove and will continue to come back!

Several 3D printed merch and everything you needed to get started and moderate-level players. Three game tables and a nice schedule for various game play. My nephew used to live in this area and wished they had been there when he was. I have to say they were very friendly and took the time to talk to us and invite us back. Which we would if we were still local. Prices range from low (intro) to moderate. I wish I could visit here and play in some of their hosted games. Not the fanciest, but I could feel at home here. Bought a few things.

I'm not even sure who the employees were or if anyone acknowledged us. There was a group of young gentleman playing computer games on one side of the room. This place is so dirty and cramped. The back of the "store" is literally riddled with garbage. It's dark and not much space to move around. Game selection is small and prices aren't terribly great. No real reason to ever go here...unless you know someone. But even then I would opt to hang out in someone's basement. It would be nicer.

I was excited to purchase this pair of earrings after being told they were $200. As I was literally…read morepulling out my money to pay, the seller (yellow and red hair, lots of glitter on her face) suddenly said, "Oops, they're actually $300." I asked if they would honor the price I had been quoted, especially since I had already made the decision to buy based on that amount. They refused. Whether it was a genuine mistake or not, changing the price by 50% at the point of sale and refusing to honor the quoted price is incredibly unprofessional. It left a very poor impression I walked away without making a purchase. I understand that mistakes happen, but if you quote someone a price you should keep your word and honor it, even if it means losing a few bucks. A friend even tried to remind them of their quote on the final day or the con as they were not sold and they told her no as well. If you're shopping here, I recommend confirming the final price before getting attached to anything. I couldn't stop thinking about these earrings all weekend. I would have never gotten my hopes up if I heard $300 to start with.

Met these folks at the recent AnimeNYC and had a fantastic interaction!…read more They're not just your average, corporate anime store. They do have quite of selection of imported goods alongside American IP merchandise. The prices range from reasonable to pricey, so you may get lucky with a steal! The saleswoman behind the stand was so kind and patient with us. There were a few products I was eyeing and she pulled each and every one of them out individually in order for me to get a better look. Even the assortment of acrylic keychains, she went through each one individually until she found the character I wanted. She didn't have to but it was such a lovely gesture! We got to talking about our favorite characters, and once we found out we shared the same interest, she pulled out this pristine vintage plush from hidden behind the counter and offered it to me at a decent price, and I knew I had to get it then and there (as well as the keychain). I'm nowhere near their brick and mortar store, but if you happen upon these people at a local con, check them out! They're knowledgable and friendly and a pleasure to deal with!
