We came to Kalamazoo with three places to go, Farefare being one of the places. We hadn't realized…read morethey moved down the road a bit (guess it had been longer than we thought since we last came) so they now have their own private parking lot which is nice. Their selection of comics is colossal, the main reason we come back. Their game selection is also phenomenal and they even have a "game cage" for table top games to happen in store. Kids also have game and comic options as well as stuffed animals that are great for all ages. Staff is friendly, greeting us as we entered and various employees asking if we needed help with anything during our visit. We got what we wanted and continued our adventure. I'm glad we make FanFare a regular Kalamazoo stop and am already looking forward to coming back.

Very cool! I've been here many times and has found great stuff and the prices are okay. Tons of…read moreCDs, records, pins, posters merch, stickers and more . The workers are nice too

Have you been to Green Light yet? It's in a small, unassuming strip mall (slightly overshadowed by…read morethe liquor store next door, but once you have been to Green Light, you won't even notice the neighbors any more, so intent are you on getting INSIDE!), with plenty of ample parking. Inside, you'll find new and used records, tapes, and cds. (I mean, of course!) The walls are covered with interesting new releases and rare recordings. The bins are a joy to peruse, especially the 45s. Larger musicians have their own tabs, otherwise it is alphabetical. You'll find much here that you'll love, but it will also be hard to stay on budget. Luckily, they have a frequent buyer card (in $5 increments). Our favorite part is digging through the 45s. It's a trip down memory lane, with laughter galore. I cannot believe the 80s fashion that ended up on record sleeves (I know, I wore it myself, but not in such a...memorable way). The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The music playing is especially interesting. And, although we haven't done it yet, they do purchase music from customers (hence the enormous selection of records for us to discover treasures within!). Previously, my favorite record store was Electric Fetus in Minneapolis. This has definitely replaced it, both for warmth and service. Go!

Anytime I go to a mall with my husband and we see this store the following conversation ensues:…read morehusband 'FYE still exists?' Me: 'yes babe they still exist' husband: 'we gotta go' me: 'don't gotta ask me twice'. I am a huge fan of dvds even if they are kinda out of style. I also enjoy their odd items like all the movie/show inspired cereals. We already have some Booty O's at home but I think I'm going to have to pick up some more sooner than later. If you like anything in pop culture and are at the mall, take a peek because even if you dont buy anything it's a fun place to walk around in. I also loved their headphone section because they had some unicorn and cat ear headphones. The employees usually will greet you at the door but on my last visit they sadly didn't. They can get busy and preocupied with restocking so I didn't hold it against them as they greeted us a few minutes later.

Treasure Quest has its heart in the right place, but its execution is not where it's at. The owners…read moreof the store are super friendly, and personable. They love to chit chat and are into a lot of esoteric things. That is the charm of these mom and pop shops-- you get to know the people. The downside is the overall goals for the store are overly ambitious for the couple and others in the area are doing it better. There are a lot of arcade machines inside, broken, collecting dust, while other businesses such as an arcade in Paw Paw is set to open, and there is an expanded Beercade in downtown Kalamazoo with more arcade games and pinball machines. In terms of their product, often it is priced high while the condition of it is quite low. I've bought multiple disk games that didn't work. Some were too scratched to play or the disks were warped. I tried to have them repaired but they were too far gone. In short, products aren't tested at all or not thoroughly. Some handhelds have faulty electronics, bad speakers, and other problems that don't justify their price. Often, they are priced higher than ones in a better condition on eBay. As much as I want to recommend Treasure Quest because it's a mom and pop shop, I can't. The products they have don't justify the price and the overall condition of many of the items are below average.

For real collectors, there are interesting things here. Unfortunately the hours are strange and…read morethe prices are WAY too high. Even so, this is a local business that would be cool to support as the owner once told me he would like to make an arcade. Imagine having Kazoo Books and a vintage game store and arcade right in one area. Id love it if the owner got motivated in cleaning up the store, more fair with the pricing, and better hours. If he has a dream Im sure there are enough retro heads in Kalamazoo that would love to support a space like this. Its just the main thing is that its too expensive and has strange hours.
