Any negative reviews that this place receives are left by people who grossly overestimate the…read morequality of service a hobby store should provide. Stores like these are becoming a dime a dozen because more often than not it is becoming less and less profitable to maintain a hobby shop with so many online competitors. The people who run stores like these are usually very passionate about the community and safety they can provide to individuals who sometimes struggle to find community on their own. Yes the service feels awkward and sometimes stand-off-ish but if you're in the store to begin with you've likely encountered personalities like this before that exist within the TCG circle. I always get what I want at an affordable price and I know I am welcomed even if the service doesn't explicitly read as welcoming when you first walk in. This store is great and I'm lucky to have it in my town - lower your standards and see what a privilege a shop like this is.

Me and my friends stopped in from out of town a few months ago. It was a Saturday afternoon, maybe…read morearound 5pm. Mind you, the store's hours said they were open well after that, so we had no reason to expect them to not be open to unexpected customers. We took a couple steps in and found that they had a game of D&D going in the middle of the store. This is nothing weird for game stores, but as we started looking around, not a single person acknowledged us beyond the random dirty look as though we were interfering by trying to shop IN A STORE. It was one of the most insane and awful customer experiences I've ever been involved in, and I would never recommend this place to anyone. If you're going to have a set day where you play in the store, just close the store at that time. It's not that complicated.

Asked me if he could help me find what I was looking for and I was stunned by the level of organization from this card shop. The prices of the cards I asked about are very reasonable and competitively priced. I almost walked out with a whole bunch but I didn't have too much time on my hands. Next time I'm in town I'm definitely dedicating a good chunk of time to fill in my decks with better cards from here. Awesome experience! The token cards are 10 cents each.

The last 30+ years, freinds I know subscribed to and had a loyalty to a local comic book shop. I can see Wes retaining that with his games and his knowledge. I have not played games there, but he hosts games as well. The cafe items are a treat as well.

They carry a really wide selection--everything from Pokémon and sports cards to Warhammer 3000 figures and other card game essentials. It's definitely a convenient one-stop shop if you're into multiple hobbies. They also host game days, which is a nice touch. Depending on the card game, you can usually find matches going on and a community of players to connect with, which adds to the overall experience.

You can never be too safe. You're greeted at the door and someone's always there to say hi and or help you for whatever you're looking for. I usually head straight to the back since that's where the comics are. Once done, I head to the left side of the store where there's someone ready to bag and board your comics for you. I just signed up for their membership and not sure what it entails but since I go so often, made sense to get it. They have a beautiful selection of comics for the right price and you won't have to question if it's above MSRP. It's pretty convenient to visit if you're checking out the rest of the plaza.
