There's even a dedicated area for painting figures, which is fantastic. I've done that at home, and there's a lot of gear that you need for that: to do it in a setting with people buzzing around you, good lighting, nice chairs, and paints and brushes all around you. Honestly, it just feels like a better way to do it than sitting in your basement, unless that's your sort of thing. There's also a huge gaming area. I didn't go in there, but I think that's the kind of amenity that is essential for a store like this. Snacks, food, games, dice, puzzles. Not sure what else you could have at a place like this, other than perhaps a comic book area.

None of the gamer stores we visited in Baltimore County can hold a candle to this place. Pay the toll and get your butt over to Ritchie Highway. You'll want to burst into tears of joy when you set foot into the store. I was under the impression that it was difficult to own/run a game store, or thats what the owners of those little shops would have me believe. But this place had loads of customers, and a bunch of other regulars in a side room used for gathering for in person play. Jeremy got his wish. A group of our friends are planning on getting together at least one Friday a month to play the Wheel of Time RPG. And he suckered me into joining. So he insisted that I pick out my own dice, rolling tray (the non-herbal kind), and a bag to hold the dice. He got some stickers and other stuff, too, cuz he's just so very into embracing the tabletop rpg gamer lifestyle. We joined the rewards program, so we'll obviously be back.

Walking in at 1 PM on a Thursday and there were a few customers enjoying the gaming area up front. Enjoyed browsing the collection of figures, magazines, comics and massive collection of games. The arcade machines are a nice touch and there is plenty to keep you entertained. Early 2000's rock was playing on their sound system and the staff all seemed to be very willing to help as I was able to easily leave a request for a callback if a specific NECA figure came into stock. The arcade machines included Arcade1UP machines alongside a Pandora Box DX multi arcade cabinet setup inside of a Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo machine which seemed to have working controls from my play testing. Marley Station is a pretty low traffic mall but I could easily see dropping by when I am in the area even thought I don't have much need to buy video games these days. Prices seemed pretty fair for this kind of store and in general felt like a main attraction for the entire mall.

The selection is minimal and wildly overpriced, and what's actually on the floor is dominated by open-box figures and toys rather than games. The handhelds are kept in a case at the counter, which would be fine if the case weren't in such rough shape -- one console was falling off its shelf and wedged against the side of the display, which isn't a great sign for how the stock is handled. The state of the store overall was honestly alarming to me. The employee I spoke with didn't help either. I asked a few simple questions about what they carry and how often they get it in, and every response was technically an answer without being remotely useful. I left knowing no more than when I came in. I'd much rather give my money to a local shop than to eBay, and I went in wanting to like this place. But a first impression like this one makes it hard to see myself coming back.

The store is very large (two stories) and so well stocked. We found lots of classics that we remembered from our childhoods and even made a purchase for ourselves (toys are for adults, too, right?). If you need to purchase a toy for someone or if you're just looking for something a little fun as a treat, stop in. They might have something surprising and fun!

We surprised our daughters with a Friday afternoon trip to Old Ellicott City to visit this toy emporium I saw on Instagram. We were met with what I believe to be the largest selections of squishables I've ever seen. I even left with a sizable one myself. My kids were pleasantly surprised by all of the options and had fun exploring both floors of this establishment. The prices were on the higher end in comparison to Amazon but who wants to wait for the mail when you can just go home with what you want? :-) There appeared to be only one person manning the place at the time but he was friendly. It wasn't busy at all. I heard it's only been open a year or so and I can see the growth potential if we keep spreading the word about this hidden gem. I'm excited to bring others back to find their new squishy friend.

Still, they did have a nice selection of variants, and the guys behind the counter were friendly.

I was surprised how quickly he returned, but he said that there was nothing interesting in the store and that he had bought a collapsible dice tray because he felt bad for interacting with the store employee, and decided to buy something.

Scammy Practices, systems and behaviors SELLERS BEWARE…read more On first glance this is a simple, little retro game store with charm and all the vibes you want from a place like this. So I go there for the first time with the intentions of doing business. I call ahead tell them I have a small retro game collection I found in my storage unit and I'd like to sell it if they are interested. I drove over and bring the games in. I will show pictures of this collection. Including a working ps3 slim and about 30 games across various platforms (ps3, ps2, GameCube, Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox one). At 2 pm The clerk there told me she was the only one there and they had an event at 6 and need time to look through everything and can I come back later and leave the games here. No one in the store at the moment however... Ok sure. I ask if they will give me a receipt or voucher or something stating they have my collection and haven't paid for them yet. They tell me they are making an office waiver but don't have it yet..... ok so wtf. I'm supposed to just trust you people. But like I said it looked like a nice lil mom and pop store. I've run my own small business for a decade so I trusted they were above board and not going anywhere and I had already documented all the games so why not. Let's trust them to be professionals. She tells me I can come back tonight and she will call me when they are ready. 9pm close rolls around and no call yet... I wait the night and call at 1pm the next day. Same story. They aren't done yet. I say I'll call back later. They say nah we will call you. Literally. I wait till 8 pm again and now they call. They tell me the offer is $44 in cash or $60 in store. I say. WTF I estimated the value conservatively and with them Turing a profit in mind and had the whole collection at about $450. I'm a business owner and not new to commission businesses or wholesalers or buy and sell places. I do it myself. I know the basic ranges of things and market value. So I say f it. They are joking imma go get my games back since they aren't serious and have now wasted 2 days of my time I coulda took them somewhere else. Or EBay. I drive back now for the 2nd time. The lady there is the same and says oh here's your games, what do I wanna do. I decline the offer and ask why is so low. She says she doesn't know she didn't check them. Highly annoyed I just take the box and go. I get home and the next morning I go to list the games myself on eBay. I notice the highest priced game in the collection is missing.... Folklore for PS3. Easily valued at $80-$120 And these ppl wanted to give me $40 for the whole thing.... SCAM I double check to make sure the game hadn't fallen out in my trunk and that I'm not jumping to conclusions. I'm not. I go back to the store. Now my 3rd useless time wasting trip there. I finally meet the guy who did my product evaluation. I go in and immediately ask where my f'n game is and what are they playing at. I got a bs offer after you waste my time and now yall stealing my best game too. Dude says "oh the case was dirty and I was gonna clean it and forgot to put it back with the rest, I forgot to tell the last girl to give it back to you too, my bad"....... wtf. Sureeeeeee ok. Give me my stuff. I got it back and then asked him how he got to that nonsense offer and was told that's just how the system they use ranked the priced for each game. They didn't even really do any research themselves. SMH So I take my stuff home and in the first 5 min of listing the items on eBay I sell two (manhunt and RE4 GameCube) for more ($55) then the entire offer these rip off artist tried to give me. Don't sell anything to these ppl. Just go play D&D and leave. They didn't know this but I'm actually an influencer (600k YouTube , 400k ig, 300k Snapchat, etc) and I shoulda flamed them on line but I'll spare them this time. Check out the pic of the collection and let me know if you think $40 was a fair offer. I think not and very bad business on their end. Not professional at all. Way more worried about they table top nights then any actual customers or potential clients I guess. Oh well. I won't be going back.
