It had reflection of a Seattle store, Archie Mcphie. I don't know If the two are related, but I don't know if Archie even exists anymore. I used to do their parking lot sale, but when they ended it 15 years ago, I stopped shopping there as that was the only way to pay a reasonable price for items imported in bulk from China. A lot of displays and boxes here were empty, I don't know if they had a holiday run or are just bad at restocking, but I reached for a few things that just were there. They had some cool Olympia based items and a fair amount of pop culture and although not cheap, the pricing was fair and based on the thrift shops we visited, the kind of stuff that holds our attention was cheaper here than it was second hand in other places. At the end of the day, there was nothing here we had to have so we left empty handed. Every city needs a store like this. If merch was stocked , we certainly would have bought something.

Easiest 5-star I've ever given. This local game store is unbelievably cool…read more I've been here twice now -- both times, I've received deliberate and friendly offers for help from several workers. And when I share that I'm browsing, it becomes a simple "Just let us know if you need anything." Which I always appreciate. Beyond that, the volume, variety, types of items, and organization blows me away. They have it all here -- ended up with a book for me , a book for my kiddo, and some mystery gift for me (from my wife). I will be keeping an eye on the dice for whenever one catches my eye. The one negative is the impact to my bank account -- not because of it is expensive (everything is VERY fairly priced) but because of how much cool stuff there is and how welcoming it feels there. Their loyalty program is going to pay off very quickly and I am already excited to return again. Thank you all for running such an incredible game shop! So happy to be in Oly with this as my LGS.

BUYER BEWARE! This store sells bootleg/fake items and charges TOP DOLLAR for them. Any attempts to…read moretalk to management has gone completely unheard and ignored. They are swindling the casual buyers by charging obscene amounts of money for unauthentic and cheap items. Specifically with the Anime Statues. Avoid this business at all cost and spend your money elsewhere. I've been unfortunate enough to get two such items being displayed as "new" and authentic. When opened, they were re-packaged and missing all identifying markers of the real items, things such as seals of approval and stickers. When bringing the items back and telling them these are fake I was told "I dont know anything about these things" and only offered an exchange. This should have been my clue as to the disgusting business practices, any store that wont do a return is selling you something that is garbage or fake.

However, I don't feel like I can give 5 stars due to their location. The limited street parking is a huge pain, a man screamed profanities at me and my children as we walked to the store, and their location is just too small to bring a stroller in comfortably. I once bought something from them on IG and didn't make it down there to pick up for over a month. I would frequent this store SO much more often if it wasn't located in downtown Oly.
