Awesome comic shop! Lived in Edina and had no idea this place was here! I'm a huge Batman fan and…read morethe owner (I believe) showed me how to draw him and even gave me a picture of his art! Super chill spot. I found a classic Batman comic collection that I bought. Very affordable. If you're in the spot, I'd recommend checking out! Thank you guys so much!

A large, yet cozy vibe game/comic shop! The very first thing I noticed on entry was the big…read moreProgress Pride flag hanging from the rafters-- immediately I knew I was among my people: the queer and nerdy! Approximately half the store is dedicated to various reading materials like comics, manga, and fiction. The other half is board games, RPGs, and supplies for said games (like mini figs and paints, dice, etc.). Throughout the store you'll also find toys, posters, collectibles, comic/trading card storage, and more. There's a lot to look at, so if you've never been, I recommend giving yourself at least an hour to browse around. This game shop also doubles as a community gathering and event space. There's lots of room and tables/chairs in the back to accommodate gamers who want to come in and play or hang and be social. I'm sure they have many specific goings-on each week (for example, I saw a sign advertising mini fig painting every Monday evening!); you can check out their event calendar on their website. There was also a gender ambivalent restroom and water fountain/water bottle refill station nearby. Some beverages were available for sale near the front. It is also quite obviously a safe space, as I saw in addition to the hanging pride flag an entire section dedicated to queer and trans materials, and an end cap as well for POC and disabled folk. I can't say how much it means to me as a trans person to see this kind of representation clearly on display during a challenging political time. I hadn't gone with the intention of buying anything (isn't that typical? lol) but to be honest, when I saw the queer support they were displaying, I wanted to support them back. It wasn't hard to find a couple things I wanted in order to give them my financial business. If you too prioritize supporting local queer businesses, consider buying from here! I normally wouldn't have been up this far north from where I live, but I was headed to a Yelp Elite event a little early and decided to see what else was in the area. So glad I stopped in here! I'll be back!

What a cool store! They have all things Warhammer, Magic, Pokémon, etc. They have tons of comics…read moreand board games as well. The staff was very helpful in helping me find a gift and give me some suggestions of games based on others I like. Overall, I would recommend this store if you enjoy these activities.

What a fun place to browse and explore. I am joining a women in tech book club so our subject…read morematter is tech books. There are so many STEM books here, it's hard to choose just one. I bought the designated book, 'AI Needs You' but also bought a cool book on the number pi, along with a pi sticker to use for a bookmark. They have lots of children's books and I chose one that can keep kids busy while traveling. Finally, I got my glasses for watching the solar eclipse. There are tech books for every age. There are also games and beautifully designed cards. I love how they are incorporating the community by hosting work from local artists and offering their space for group gatherings. I love my eReader but there is such beauty in books that just doesn't translate to digital. Definitely worth checking out. Prices are reasonable and staff was super helpful. They helped me find the perfect book on pi!

I don't think I ever really realized how many cool vintage shops they had along Lyndale. I'm not in…read morethe area much these days (the single lane traffic, traffic in general and parking in uptown is for sure a full time extreme sport). My mom loves cats and immediately when we walked in she was already picking up little trinkets and whatnot to buy. I loved the wall of gumball machines and the overall humor in the names of them. They even offer a loyalty punch card with more fun on the back of the card. They did have a room of comic books as well as a workshop room which is cool. They had a room in the back of the store with vintage items & more mature items like magazines, art, trinkets & more. In the main room they had trinkets, art, shirts, stickers and lots of fun stuff. Generally a lot of nostalgic stuff with a bit of an artsy twist. It's for sure worth checking out. Staff were nice. Someone overheard me asking my mom for a quarter to get gum (I don't carry cash or coins at all) and gave me and my mom a quarter which was very nice. For sure bring some quarters!! Generally enjoyed checking out this shop!

The staff is always really happy to be there and share their fantastic (in the most literal sense) shirts, posters, books, art, and anything else you can imagine. It's a bit pricey for some stuff but I'm happy to pay it as I'm supporting local makers and helping to keep creativity alive in my city. If you like unique, kitschy stuff, supporting the community, or are a weirdo in general, you'll love this hidden gem.

Street address in Yelp, Uber and Lyft all wrong. Call first for actual address. Door in back of building behind an opened gate. Not visible from the road. Good selection of rare/oddball figures, without becoming a merch warehouse. Knowledgeable workers. Did I mention hard to find? Had budgeted an hour there before meeting friends for lunch. Took 40 mins to find it. Next time I'm back, will spend an hour at least.
