They had a great selection. I was in there to find a birthday present for a friend and easily found the perfect book and cute little bday card. They had a lot of the big hitters (fiction and non) but also a large local authors selection and unique picks. Also an adorable children's and YA section! Look in the back for those. Prices were pretty much on par with new books these days, probably between $15-35 for the majority of titles.

It is a pretty small bookstore and it started to pile in with people about 30 minutes before close…read more Each bookshelf was marked with genres and a small blurb of why a certain book was a staff's favorite. I was able to navigate around, but one section was more popular than the others so it was harder to browse the one section. Some decided to give up waiting for the aisle and browse elsewhere, while some decided to just grab closest to them as they looked around. Nobody was bothered and I didnt mind since we are all in our own browsing world. Overall, will definitely come back! Was a good stop on Seattle Independent Bookstore Day!

This comic book store is located on the 4th floor of Pike Place market. It is a huge store. Really…read morepopular among the visitors. I went there multiple times and it was so packed. They have so much more than just comic books. They have lots of board games. There's a huge collection of posters and figurines. The comic books are separated in sections by genre. There are also many types of playing cards, pins and collectibles as well. One of the unique items at this store was they had the scripts of many popular movies and TV shoes. I saw the script of pilot episode of GOT, TBBT, Friends and among movies there was Batman, Harry Porter, LOTR, Hunger Games, Twin Peaks and hundreds of more of them. I found a Marvel poster that I liked a lot. It was reasonably priced for $15. Checkout process was quick with assistance from very friendly staff. If you are comic fan, this is an absolutely must visit place for anyone visiting the Pike Place market.

Came here while making an afternoon of Pike Place with my friend and wow it's a nerds dream in…read morehere. They have all sorts of collectibles, you name it, and if it's popular, it's probably here. Comics/manga, collectable buttons, stickers, magnets, Figures, Funko's, mugs, posters of movies, posters of anime, wall scrolls and tons more crammed into this little shop. What I thought was cool was the Cardboard stand ups of Star Wars characters just outside the shop. That is something I don't see often and was kind hoping someone would buy one so that I can ask them how they planned to carry it out without it being damaged. That all said there are snags about Golden Age Collectables. A collectable shop to me is usually in sort of a lower traffic area, or a mall at most. Golden Age here is in a very high traffic area, It's Pike Place after all - a tourist destination, and the store is not particularly big, neither are the aisles. It was hard to stop and look at look at anything without being in someone's way. So, the browsing experience was not great here. My friend got major icks when someone was trying to pass her in a crowded aisle... and was let's just say was a bit inappropriate about it. As a result, she wanted to wait outside for the remainder of the visit. I was not far behind due to how cramped it is. I'd say if you have in mind something you want here, check it out, but if you don't do well in tight spaces and lots of people, exercise discretion.

During my recent trip in Seattle I wanted to visit a few local book shops. Came across Action City…read moreComics and it was near me so I decided to stop by. We were greeted immediately upon walking in and felt genuinely welcomed into the shop. Great variety of comics and graphic novels, action figures, kid plushies, and other cool stuff. There was something for everyone in our party and that included a toddler! The store was very organized, and when we couldn't find what we were looking for we were quickly helped. The knowledge the staff had was incredible and it really helped make our experience so much better. The customer service is on point! I appreciate the honesty and transparency, and what also stood out if their willingness to help us find what we wanted. We were recommended to other local comic book shops as well, which I thought was pretty awesome to show love and support to other local shops in the area. Overall a great experience and can't wait to make this a regular stop during my trips to Seattle. Make sure to check out the $1 bins!

There's a lot of places that are either gatekeep-y or just Dude Central and this place is clearly open to all and very positive. You even get bonus comics, too. I'm unsure of why anyone would give it less than 4 stars...though those reviews tend to be from more entitled individuals. This place has great prices, too. Gotta say, this place reminds me of an old store from almost 2 decades ago that used to be my fave; the vibe is great.

Decent back issue bins…read more New comics are on open racks. I wish they'd bag and board them, but they're OK. There's a section of about 20 long boxes of loose comics you might find a gem in, BUT as they are not already priced, they'll look them up and charge full CMV for them. Employees and owner don't seem to do anything but greet and check out. Bag and board and price those books, people. Good selection of Silver and Bronze age keys behind the counter. Nothing that has made me pull the trigger yet.

Ilan is super nice and always gives me the best recommendations.

Today he recommended this Wonder Woman comic to me with beautiful art and I've been loving it so far. The first time I visited Mighty Moose, I was looking for Shadow Service published by Vault Comics. I was travelling shortly, but Ilan found all the issues for me and held them until two months later when I returned. I really appreciated him going above and beyond to get me the comics I wanted. When I went in today, Ilan was working on a video of some super vintage comics for social media and it was really cool to see them up close. Yes their cards can sometimes be overpriced (I collect Pokemon cards), but sometimes there are great deals! Ilan sold me his entire stock of leftover Halloween Pokemon cards early last year for super cheap and I gave them out to my nieces and nephews who adored them!

I picked up a first appearance of Black Cat and a Werewolf by Night #32 for a great price considering the condition. Immaculate. Today however blew me away. I was just stopping by to say hi to Alan the owner, I wasn't even planning on buying any books BUT I saw some sweet cover art and found 3 out of the 4 issues of the series. I asked Tony "The Dude" if he possibly had a 1st issue hidden someplace. In seconds Tony was checking the database and found the issue. Not only that but The Dude totally tracked that sucker down! I love this shop! The service, the selection, and the good people vibes is what keeps me coming back!

For littles 18 months and up on Mondays and Fridays they offer an art class at 10am. The first class is free which is awesome because you can check it out without making a commitment. Then, classes are $12 or if you purchase a 4 pack, you get 10% off. It's drop in style which is great because our schedule can change suddenly with my 2 year old. The toy shop itself is also very cool with a wonderfully large assortment of toys. Art toys. Educational toys. Trucks. Animals. All the things. The prices are a tad higher than amazon, but I'd rather pay the additional $2 than have to add $20 worth of stuff I do t need to get same day shipping on amazon. The staff is very kind and friendly. This is a great shop in west Seattle. There is 2hr street parking and also a few close by public lots for the junction.
