Being nerds and collectors…read moreourselves, its nice to see things outside conventions and local that we can stop by and check out. First, its a little confusing where this is. It's located INSIDE of State Theater Vintage Emporium, which is an adventure in itself. Walk in the doors, go up the stairs and its the first "big" fixture/box shop on the left. They carried everything and anything anime and Japanese from plush, figures, cards/card games to even straight from Japan video games and trinkets for Ita Bags. They even had some Pocky, Ramune and other Japanese snacks for purchase. I think we saw the owner restocking as we perused and he was very personable mentioning he could answer any questions we had. Prices were in line/if not better than ones I see at conventions and online. Overall a great place to stop if you're in the market for current or vintage Japanese goods.

The Treasure Trove Toy Store is located in the Shoppes at Newberrytown, a borderline struggling…read moreflea market. Parking is not an issue, just grab a spot. The store is located in the middle building, behind the restaurant. Use the doors on the side of the building for the easiest access. Treasure Trove is huge and spread out, taking up a large portion of the building. Selection includes retro toys of all varieties, both new and loose, and a huge Pop Vinyl selection. Everything is very well-organized including separate rooms for specific items. Pop Vinyl's were well priced and included both common and rare ones. Huge stock of wrestling toys of all varieties, including a lot of older figures. Has a small clearance section with various items including a lot of physical media. One of the things that also stood out was the condition of items, most of the toy boxes were in good condition. Treasure Trove's biggest weakness is it being a little out of the way, and that the Shoppes at Newberrytown is not the most known place in the world. Treasure Trove really is the core of the Shoppes at Newberrytown and absolutely worth a stop.

Next to a dirt track a few hills and turns off of Interstate 83 in Neberrytown, I stumbled upon…read moreTreasure Trove by accident. It takes up most of one of the barracks representing The Shoppes at Newberrytown, a classic dirt mall that is home to a few of our area's best magick brokers and resellers of unusual ancient relics. Surprising, I know. Lady Matilda and I were meeting an antiquities dealer to procure the Emerald of Queen Zinth supposedly the gem that resurrected Lord Ghuul the Ineffable in 1233. The deal fell through because when we exposed the item to a low-level EPK resonator, it did not register the proper psychic frequency. Turns out the gem was just tinted glass from an Art Deco lighting fixture. Anyway, as Lady Matilda and I were figuring out what to do over pancakes at the nearby diner on site, I spotted a massive wall of Funko Pops through the door leading into the next section of the barracks. Pops as far as I could see; pops sufficient to build a small house. I had to investigate. While the major focus of the inventory is on professional wrestling figures and related products, Treasure Trove has a massive collection of loose figures from almost every franchise I could imagine. I was able to fill in the gaps in most of my old collections. I experienced an OCD moment as I had to dig through piles of rare items, discovering something new everywhere I looked. Each loose item was bagged and clearly priced. Boxed and packaged items are in pretty good shape and displayed safely. I didn't see much of the price gouging that is common in most used/collector toy stores. In fact, what I dropped on that first visit was pretty reasonable when I compared it to eBay and similar online resources. If you're looking for spare parts for broken toys, you'll have to dig, but there is a section of the store dedicated to them. The store also has old magazines and some comics, too. Things are organized in a general sense, but there are a lot of displays to investigate. If you go, be prepared to take some time on that first visit. The Funko Pop Wall is, indeed, massive. But the wide selection of products kept me searching the nooks and crannies of the store for an hour - which was only as long as Lady Matilda would allow me before getting ornery about it. She is not a fan of portable toilets, which is all "The Shoppes" seems to offer. Plus, she was fighting the urge to exact revenge on the dealer who had just tried to con us into buying a fake relic. (Be advised, that vendor no longer operates at that location...or in this dimension...any longer.) Since that first visit, I have returned many times, lured by a steady rotation of new items and great sales offers. The owner was also quite friendly and helpful. We chatted briefly as classic pro wrestling matches played on the overhead television.

The store is always well stocked with decently priced product, and has a vending machine + snacks avaliable. The staff are fine, but my main issue this place comes more from the regular customers and lack of regulations or expectations around behavior in the store. I've been to several prereleases here and I dont think I'll be back after multiple times men (sometimes with their kids present) Kept making sexist or straight up comments on my body or being female in a gamimg space. There is also a HEAVY issue with body odor here. This is not entirely the staffs fault, but I couldnt find staff members available to talk with about this issue, and was waved away when I did find one due to them being overwhelmed. Increasing staff numbers especially during high demand events would fix this. This is a great store, but I fear it is suffering from success in the numbers.

You can enter on the left side which is the retail store and if you go to the right by the cashiers they have a whole area set up for games with snacks and drinks. We picked up some D&D Supplies and my husband reminisced about his Magic days with the cashier. Both men at the registers were very nice and asked what games we were into and made recommendations on other mech we might like. Their selection is pretty vast and seems on par price wise with other stores in the area and online. They also had an area you could play test games and we saw people and families of all ages enjoying shopping and testing the games on display. The new store on Wesley Drive is HUGE. It might be a little hard to find but its located on the right corner of the plaza with the Peppermill restaurant, to the side/back of McDonalds. Parking can get a bit nutty and limited on weekends so just keep that in mind.

Honestly, I am not sure how this place is still around after so many years, but it is still there and I still love dropping in when I am back in town. The shop specializes in monthly subscriptions so you can easily add yourself to a list to get the next drop each month or you can browse for something new. He carries some back issues for popular titles and if you can't find what you are looking for, he will try and order it for you. I stop in for the expertise and recommendations though. When I am looking for something new, the owner can give me a good deal of titles to try. His last recommendation for me was Y The Last Man and I loved it! If you are heading to the coffee shop across the street, stop in, pick up something new or the latest release of your favorites and enjoy with your favorite coffee drink. It's locals and guests to the area that will keep this place alive against the big box stores!

The shop is located in the Weis Markets part of the center and has plenty of parking. New space is similar in layout to the Mechanicsburg location. One wall of the shop was covered by various collectibles including Pop Vinyls and a good new pull comic selection. Long boxes with a fair selection of back issues line the shops other wall and above them are some of the shops less valuable wall books. The most valuable wall books are located behind the counter on the wall, but they are more than willing to let you search though them. A good selection of trade paperbacks is located in the back middle of the shop on shelves. Make sure to check out the full size Spider-Man in the back corner. Staff member was pleasant to chat with. Overall it's a good shop, but I would say the selection at the Mechanicsburg location is a little better in terms of long boxes and wall books. Still worth a stop if you're in the area.

Go ahead, ask them anything, and within seconds you'll get a lesson in comic history like no other. They will also work their tails off to find anything you need, whether it takes a call to their sister store or to the distributor. Forgot to pick up a comic on Wednesday? No problem, call and ask them to put it in your box. Oh yeah, they have a subscription service, so you'll never miss out again. Special events sprinkled throughout the year give you a chance to save big and connect with local artists and the owners. You'd be surprised how many local artists live in York and how many of them make Comix Connection their "home." That means while you are saving big on Free Comic Book Day or during an anniversary sale, you get spectacular sketches and tons of signed books. And the owners are real gems. They continually give back to their customers and the community. And that's what really sets this store apart: when you come here, you truly feel like part of a community. As a lapsed comic book reader, that really made the difference.
