    M loves this store because it sells all the comic books his heart desires. We actually stumbled upon this place by accident but we always make a pit stop if we are in the area. The staff here are very friendly and don't bother you if you are just browsing. There are so many different types of comics and manga and all other sorts of comics I cannot even begin to describe because I have no idea what they are. So why only 3 stars? I wish they had other sorts of literature for people that aren't into comics so they have something else to do other than follow the comic book lover around like a puppy lol

    Easily one of my favourite places to nerd out at. And DEFINITELY my favourite place to nerd out at…read morein the GTA. Legends has extremely competitive pricing (Games Workshop stuff usually 20% off!) and a very nice selection of board games, comic books, cards, minatures, and geeky merch (I definitely picked up a Rainbow Dash mug on my last visit here.) If they don't have something that you have your eye on, you can connect with them to see if they will order it for you (which they likely will, if they can!) Really flexible hours of operation, open late many nights of the week, and there are constantly events occuring here. They have a fairly large, well-lit, and clean gaming space in the back. Customer service here is quite friendly. I'd HIGHLY reccomend checking out Legends if you are in/around the Vaughan area to get your geek on :).

It's like Walmart lol you go in for one thing and leave with 10. There's a pretty good selection of board games, both popular and obscure. If they don't have what you're looking for they'll gladly order it for you and give you a call when it comes in. The guys who work there are all very nice and very knowledgeable. The first time I came, I was still fairly new to tabletop gaming so I wasn't sure what to get. I had my eyes set on Agricola but after talking to the associate I realized I wasn't ready for such a heavy euro game just yet. The associate asked us what we liked and then basically went through their entire collection with us, pointing out and explaining various games that he thought would appeal to us. You don't get customer service like that anymore! All the games are also much cheaper than you would find at Chapters or Mastermind Games. They've also got tons of other nerd stuff like comic books, figurines, and superhero paraphernalia. The store is located in the back of the plaza so it's difficult to find if you don't know where to look.

Right when you enter you have to leave your bag at the front with is off-putting. I understand it's to prevent theft, but it also makes me worry that someone will steal my belongings since they're just lying at the front of the store. They have a huge collection of manga and figures, though the prices are higher than stores like Amazon. It's a nice place to come and look around, though I don't think the employees like that as there are signs saying "no loitering". When we left the girl said thanks for coming even though we didn't buy anything. Overall, the store is still the same as the last time I came but my experience with the employees was much better.

    I doubt my review will say anything that hasn't already been said in the 15+ years worth of reviews…read morethis place has gotten. Wasn't thrilled about the 'no bag' policy, but I understand. It had to go on a small table off to the side from the checkout though. I was kind of hoping it'd at least be kept behind the counter? Only one employee worked the day we visited. They were nice. I also understand that they had work to do, specifically involving unpacking boxes & climbing ladders to put items away. But who is exactly is watching our bags now? My friend and I had to take turns staying near the table with our belongings and alternate looking/going deeper into the store. TLDR for the next: You're guaranteed to overspend. Please check the price ranges online & compare them before you buy something here. Everything is triple the price. Figures at GameStop that are $35 can be found here for $70+. Nendoroids with frequent rereleases cost more here than what you'd pay if you were to get them directly from the retailer with shipping. Scale figures that have binned and can be bought for under $100 are priced here at $250-$300. A figure available for preorder at this very moment in time retailing at $313 online is $999 on the AnimeXtreme website. The list goes on. The list CAN go on. I give AnimeXtreme 2 stars: one for having a decent manga section, and another for having enough to look at to kill time before our dinner reservation. Would never buy a figurine from here though.

(wheres gerrard? pape? is that in the beaches?) ....this might be the dialogue you might be having...understandable if so, because this place is reallly for the neighbourhood folks. itd be great to be a kid living around this neighbourhood and be able to pop into this place after school. its on a street that is mostly residential with some stores on it, but youd have to know the neighbourhood or be a comic fanatic to know of it. that being said, they have an ample supply of action figures; mainly superheroes are to be found and at prices a bit lower than you might find elsewhere. its a small place, so theyll have a bit of everything, with a focus on superhero and action comics. but still, there are graphic novels available and the owner is very helpful and easy to talk to. hell also order in issues that you are looking for if you want. for the sheer convenience, id come here if i knew exactly what i wanted, and because, if the price of the comic is the same as everywhere else (as it usually is) they offer one of those buy 10 get one free (there are conditions of course but the principle still stands). overall it was a great neighbourhood find and i will be back, especially to get successive issues of the superman comic i bought - if its any good!

The efforts go into the merchandise and service rather than ambiance, and considering the near impossibility for a comic store to muffle that stuffy feeling, I'd settle for what Atomic Age has going. The store houses a good collection of comics and graphic novels, offering new and vintage. And of course, the usual knick knacks at the front counter. The owner is very nice and helpful and will order in issues of series not found on shelves for customers. It's a pretty easygoing place and owner was great with helping me find what I was looking for, but it's a little too packed inside for browsing. Good place to visit if you are able to locate it - it's very small and easily overlooked, and located in a mainly residential neighbourhood. Normally a place like this would get the standard 3 stars but the owner was very helpful and friendly so it gets a bump up.
