This place is SO COOL!!…read more My fiancé and I love stopping by regularly to see what's new in store. The guys here are the absolute coolest and have been so helpful, and the amount of awesome merch crammed into this place is INSANE. From board games and their accessories to giant superhero statues, they have it all. We've purchased almost all of our comic books here, several Pokémon and One Piece cards/packs, plushies, and a few figures from them. Their layaway plan is super reasonable and made it possible for us to bring home one of our largest figures, J. Scott Campbell's Alice, to date. I HIGHLY recommend this place if you haven't already visited. This place is an experience, and I'd be absolutely shocked if you can't find what you're looking for.

For a quick in & out stop, I will definitely consider coming here again! Even if it means a longer commute that what I normally do :) !!

First off, I used to love going to Dragons Lair AR, they had great selection of MTG and Warhammer…read moresets, the staff was all super friendly, and I loved seeing Merlin. But the past couple years I've seen lots of changes. They don't get many new comics in, they never have enough MTG products or OP packs/boxes, and don't even have a limit to how many people can purchase? Their stock is also only plushies and overpriced board games and we really see no reason in shopping there anymore. Today we signed up AND PAID FOR for the Hobbit prerelease at midnight, me and my partner were planning on picking up the kit, and dropping from the tournament and making decks on our own, as I personally don't prefer playing with strangers. Usually we have NO issues doing so. When we went to drop out they had told us we were not allowed and we can't get our prerelease kit and extra packs unless we stay the WHOLE tournament... I asked if this was stated somewhere or a new policy and they didn't answer my question, talked to a different staff and had told me we can stay the whole tournament to get the box or get a full refund. I had asked again why this was not stated to us before we had signed up, or if it was on the website somewhere and the staff had again repeated that it's just not allowed. Currently my partner went to the prerelease, got his kit, and dropped out regardless. This whole situation was frustrating, as we never got a clear answer as to WHY we couldn't drop out when we had already paid for the kit and just wanted to go home? I definitely recommend everyone shopping at Dragons Lair Medical, or Heroes & Fantasies for comics or TCG.

The store was well organized, and the staff were polite and welcoming. There were several tables and long boxes to search through, making it a fun stop for comic collectors. They carry both back issues and new books, with a larger selection of newer titles, but there were still plenty of books to browse. Our whole family had a great time digging through the inventory and seeing what we could find. Definitely worth a visit for comic fans.

Lots of plushies, books, jewelry, socks, stickers/pins/keychains, and other assorted gifts. Plenty to look at and go "oooooh!" Also cute queer shit. Heck yes. Gimme! Towards the back is a clearance section, and there were some sale items around the store as well. I definitely didn't walk out empty-handed. The employee was super duper extra friendly and made me feel very welcome, as I was presenting non-binary while in the store. Yay! *sparkles and rainbows*

From the minute you step in you're greeted with a warm welcome, and so many different colors and designs! When I say there is a lot to look at and choose from, there is that I spent almost 40 minutes in here when it was supposed to be a quick trip! This shop definitely has an Austin vibe, as it has many witty and funny things to cute and witchy. I was in love with how versatile it is! The other thing I wanted to give a gold star to are the employees who are very helpful and cheerful to everyone! It makes the shopping experience 10/10 ! I will definitely be coming back, because this is a favorite of mine now!

They did a great job organizing stuff into a section or two so if you're looking for a specific kind of figure you can find them with ease (if they have it). Some of the prices were really high, but most I felt were very fair and they were also running a buy one get one half off so my son grabbed a random bag of toys ($5) and I got a Jubilee from X-men figure ($8) mostly to save him the $2.50. His mystery toy box was a random small plush, a knock off hot wheel, a knock off GI Joe and a random Rhino (not the Spider-Man villain...just the animal). Personally I don't think it was worth $5, but he's happy so I'm happy.
