I haven't stepped in The Lair as I am from up north and not a local. My review is based solely off my experience when buying from them online . I live in Toronto Canada and like many Canadians simply FED UP with the eBay Global Shipping Scammer Program. I have bought from The Lair on eBay in the past and time and again GREATLY APPRECIATE that they still do things right and ship out packages themselves. I collect high end collectibles ( Statues ) and I cringe at the thought the most US sellers are enrolling in the Global Shipping Program. I prefer my expensive collectibles be sent directly from the seller and not some 3rd party facility (GSP) who then forward the packages to the postal service. This way I know its been handled less and as described the way the seller shipped the item and not touched by a 3rd party facility. The Global Shipping Program extort an unreasonable amount of money from buyers - sellers are unaware of these charges as they do not get this money it goes straight to eBay, meanwhile buyers are confronted by ridiculous charges. The program was supposed to facilitate international orders and help buyers with customs charges but doing quite the opposite. Not all packages are tagged with customs I'll take my chances and pay the $10 brokerage fee + taxes before paying a ridiculous surplus to eBay. As long as The Lair stays clear from eBay's GSP I will continue to buy from them. My statue was well packed with sufficient room, proper use of filler, and a sufficiently bigger box so I rest easy it will arrive safe from NY to Toronto. 5 Stars for quick friendly replies, GREAT PRICE, and understanding my hate towards eBay's GSP Thumbs up LAIR :) read more

There are many reasons why I want to leave the Bronx, then there are reasons that I don't. The Lair being one of the main reasons why I don't want to leave. It has been my local comic shop for years now and I couldn't have asked for a better one. In the years of going, I'm very pleased as to how the shop has evolved (such as having a more variety of comics, accessories, figurines, etc.) The owner is very knowledgeable with the comics and it is always a pleasure to hear his input on the scene in general. As far as the merchandise goes, everything is priced fairly and organized very well. It's definitely a shop that as soon as you walk in, you constantly turn your head to look around as some things are placed like in a museum. Sometimes I sit and have friendly conversations based on comics with the owner. He is very friendly towards his customers and always makes you feel welcome. I'm very proud to have such a great local comic shop as it is my favorite place to visit every week. Definitely 5 Stars for The Lair. read more

This is a great store! I go there mainly to play to play Magic the Gathering. They have events throughout the week, mainly Wednesday and Friday nights (weekends to a lesser extent). Their facebook page will keep you updated on the current events of the week and you can always call (the staff is always willing to help). During pre-release events a lot of people show up so you a assured of a good time. On the comic book and collectable side of things, they have a good selection. If there is something you are looking for the employees are willing to take time to find it for you are place and order for it. read more

The Lair is an absolutely fantastic store. It has a little of everything from comic books to figures to magic cards! They even make really cool in-house decals and T-shirts. Easily the BEST comic store in the Bronx. friendly staff and great service. I like that they are good at custom orders and, being a magic the gathering player myself, they are the only spot in the Bronx that hold sanctioned tournaments and a regular FNM. The owner is a funny guy, who is highly knowledgeable in comic books and takes the time to ensure you get what you're looking for. I totally recommend this establishment. read more

Dream come true! Exactly what the Bronx needs. An awesome comic book shop that hosts just about anything you could ask for: magic cards, hats, toys, comic books and more! If they dont have it, you can bet they'll find it for you. It's a hidden gem and worth a visit. You don't find these kinds of places anymore and when you do, you don't wanna let it go. It's professional, warm and a true family oriented place. Check out magic nights especially. Fun for the kids and adults. it's more then just a store...its a great place for the community and fun to visit. I promise you'll want to return ;) read more

Fellow gamers in the Bronx, The Lair is a local spot to get your Magic: The Gathering tournament fix on. A few months ago, they started offering FNM, wednesday and weekend tournaments for pretty cool prizes. They have a steady rotation of standard packs and the owner/workers are pretty cool. Although I'm not into Comics or Yugioh (which they promote as well), just from playing mtg, the atmosphere I've encountered is always geared towards the players and their prices are competitive. I'd reccomend it to new players or players looking to get back into the game. read more

I recently moved to the Bronx and needed to find a comic book store. They were so friendly and helpful. The first time I went it was closed but George, the owner, saw me looking in the window. He came out and introduced himself, let me in to look around, and just chatted for awhile. Anything they didn't have they offered to order and also looked for some back issues for me. I go every week now. Great store and nice staff. read more
