Probably the biggest collection of different figures I've seen in Halifax. The store is quite large, which is surprising because it doesn't look big from the street. It doesn't look like much, but once you start wandering through the store you'll find the selection unbeatable. I didn't interact with the staff on this visit - they were busy chatting with someone else about board games, and I didn't need any help so I didn't bother them - but they seem really knowledgeable and excited to share their knowledge with customers.

Monster Comic Lounge is located along Gottingen Street…read more It is a Hidden Gem, for all those Comic Fans. I actually went on a search for this store. You have to know where to look or you will miss it for sure. I happened to meet the owner Mike. A pretty relaxed guy, I guess you would have to be in this business. I have never seen so many comics in my life. This store is jammed packed full of adventure of all kinds, there is not an ounce of space not used. Mike has been at this location for about 4 years, but has been in the business for much longer. This store is know by an elite group of people already. You will find your new and used Comic Books, Game Boards, Graphic Novels (20% off) always, Action Figures, Card Games. I am probably missing a lot, but lets just say, Mike has it. Now, I have to say, it is worth the venture to see the Statue of Yoda (look at the picture attached). It is fantastic. Life Sized!! Who knew Comics had such a large following. Well they do! Go and Enjoy.

Why drive over to Halifax and have to fake being cool and ironic when you can roll into GRC and be appreciated and welcomed. The store is easy to get to- Dartmouth is not located in the Gemini sector of deep space- just cross the bridge people! Oh do I get tired of people belly aching about Dartmouth being too "far" away! The selection of toys, comics, and games is pretty sweet, but the used toy cabinets are the best! Every day is a new adventure and collectors will be sure to find gems here rather than be jacked up on kijiji and eBay. The service is really what sets this joint apart! People come to see Daroptimus Prime, owner and leader of the geekobots Take the time to talk to him, you might piss your self laughing in the process. He is a solid guy and is a customer service specialist! Anyway, we are going today! See you there.

There are pillows in there for example - just two pieces of fabric sewn together and stuffed, nothing fancy - for over thirty bucks. In this economy? There are things up about the store that also refer to Canada as "Turtle Island", which is preachy and a colonizer term (colonists brought maps from above and the "Turtle Island" thing is contentious and offensive to other Indigenous tribes that don't adhere to this term for Canada). I was only able to afford a pinback button (an ace flag, I love ace representation!) and a second-hand Beanie Baby because most of the new merch was so expensive. Friendlier environment than Strange Adventures, and I loved how kind and approachable the staff were. To be fair, this is a somewhat recently-established shop in comparison with its competition, and so the price thing might just be teething troubles, but nobody in this economic climate could afford to buy much here.

I stopped in here a few times because I always love a good comic book store experience. When I came…read morein I was really happy that they had so many cool things to look at. I wouldn't necessarily call myself a comic book fan but I love to look at the manga and figurines. I asked if they had any Archie comic books for sale and I was directed toward some and was told that they were selling old Archie books for $1.00 each. I couldn't believe my ears. I excitedly asked where I could find them and I bought five of them. I've loved the Archie books since I was a kid (before the terrible television show Riverdale came out). I thanked the store employee for being so helpful and he introduced me to their adorable dog who I now follow on Instagram. The dog's Instagram handle is @strangegromit. Please give this dog a follow. He's SO CUTE! While he isn't always at the store, if you go every day like I did while I was in Halifax, you're bound to run into him at some point.

The lack of care, compassion and simple decency by this store is disgusting. INTOLERANT people like these have NO BUSINESS working with the public. So, if you yourself are a bad person then by all means give these people money. But... If you are a decent person with decent values and if you value inclusion of all people (including those with disabilities) then STAY AWAY.

All in the same size store. It is chaos. And it's awesome. I'm always on the search for a specific issue of a comic I read in the 80s that I need to complete my collection (boy, does that sound geeky). So of course we had to stop in here. There is very little room for people. It's floor-to-ceiling books, comics, trading cards, games, etc. They have absolutely everything, but good luck finding it. Boxes on top of boxes of comics in sort-of order. Fortunately the owner knows where everything is. He's a very busy man, from the looks of it; the store was very busy on our visit, and it was a Tuesday. If you love digging (literally) through mountains of media in search of a hidden jewel, you will absolutely love this place. Definitely worth a drive to the valley.

About a year ago I decided to try to rebuild the core of the record collection I had in the 80's. I started with flea markets and picked up a good album here and there. But things only really took off when I found this site. They've got thousands of records, many for under 10 bucks. The owner is a great guy, friendly, and easy to deal with. He once emailed me just to let me know that I had purchased the same album twice. The second one was for my son, but he didn't want me to have 2 of the same in case it was a mistake. Who does that? Seriously, check this site out. Make sure you use the search in the top right to look for bands, or albums, or artists. Of course you could spend over an hour and go through the whole site like I did the first time I saw it. :)
