    WARNING: If you are buying bulk One Piece TCG singles or have any value for customer support, stay…read morefar away from Dragon's Keep! Our most recent visit was to the Spanish Fork Dragons Keep location (and will be our last) to purchase cards for some One Piece TCG decks we were building. We found a whitebox of rares and don cards for OP-16. At checkout, the cashier (who happened to be the store owner for Dragons Keep, Leeder Francis) said that each rare was $0.50 then my wife asked if each Don!! card was also $0.50 as she looked at the TCGplayer market price which was $0.30 and we did not see any in store listing price. Leeder responded with: Yes, they are $0.50 which this bulk price saves you money. My wife proceed with the transaction and we left. I was curious how much we were saving so on the drive home (we live about 20 minutes away) I decided to get on TCGplayer to check that claim. The TCGplayer market price would have been $10 cheaper total and on average, rare cards were worth $0.20 (I honestly wouldn't have cared about the price difference but Leeder mentioning that we saved money I now wondered how). I decided to call the store about this discrepancy, after explaining the situation to the employee that answered, I was handed to Leeder. I patiently tried to explain our experience buying singles at their multiple locations which has included both bulk price per card and using TCGplayer market price. Leeder explained that their store policy was to charge $1.00 per rare (rip off by the way) for One Piece TCG so him charging $0.50 per rare (still a terrible deal) was us "saving money". This explained our misunderstanding, and would have been sufficient for our questions, and we would have moved on. However, he then continued to state our previous experiences at Dragons Keep where we were charged TCGplayer market price instead of a bulk price per card was a lie and that we were liars. A little taken back, I tried patiently to tell him we've had employees at their stores in the past sell us commons, uncommons and, rares based on TCGplayer market price. After some time of Leeder's unprofessional and rude behavior, he told us we could return the cards for a refund then "get the f*ck out of his Dragon's Keep". I'm still somewhat bewildered that the store owner would behave like this to a customer over a reasonable misunderstanding. There must be some miscommunication between stores/employees on charging for One Piece TCG singles. Note the entire phone call lasted only 6 minutes, the portion I talked to Leeder was probably 4 minutes, very short temper, cannot work with customers. As a result of this conversation, I'm leaving a 1 star review and will never go back to any Dragons Keep for any reason. Initially I was going to leave a three star review due to their pricing with regards to One Piece TCG singles being inconsistent across stores and even individual employees (with respect to commons, uncommons and less expensive rares). Some employees will scan each individual card and go off the TCGplayer market price while others charge a bulk price per card which is confusing and frustrating as the customer since going at different times or locations can result in a significant variation in total cost. I think the employees are great and kind, even though I don't think they are following what Leeder expects, and the tournaments/events we've been to also have been great (granted we haven't tried other locations because we were very happy with Dragons Keep, but we will now) with an awesome community. To those getting into One Piece TCG both to collect/display cards as well as to play the game, buy off TCGplayer. It might be a little intimidating as a first purchase but if you buy enough from the same seller you avoid paying shipping, you will save a decent bit of money over Dragon's Keep, and you will save time instead of hunting through unorganized boxes/binders. I would normally like to and encourage others to support their local stores but, business owners like Leeder don't deserve your money or support.

    They have events like board game league, dice masters, and Magic the Gathering. Board game league…read moreis every Thursday and they play one game for 4 weeks with the final week being a tournament with prizes and/or store credit for the winners. Jacob and Lee are fun as they run the board game league. They also have casual play night on Tuesdays where people are welcome to come and play games for free. Available games to play are downstairs. They are attached to a Mexican food restaurant so there are sometimes food smells that waft in to the game side, but it is not bad. If you come for game nights you are welcome to bring your own food as long as its not messy. I recommend you bring your own drink as there isn't fountain as part of the store. They have a pretty good selection of games.

We actually found this place unexpectedly right after parking the car in the nearby parking garage and my LTP, who enjoys collecting comic books, wanted to pop in and see what they had here. If you're a comic book nerd, then this is the place for you. They have a lot of awesome stuff in here. All their comic book selections that they have available are in boxes located in the back of the store and are listed in alphabetic order for easy browsing. They also have comic books that are permanently sealed and can't be opened. When I was little, I was a huge, huge fan of the Sonic the Hedgehog comics, and seeing some of those here brought me back to my childhood. Along with comic books, they also have puzzles, trading cards, board games, and a collection of the world's smallest things, like the world's smallest Godzilla and the world's smallest Barbie doll. They had the world's smallest Magic 8 ball as well and I tested one while it was in the package. It was so small that I couldn't read the text after I shook it. We love working on puzzles in our free time and we would've bought one if we weren't working on one back at home right now. This was a cool place to step into. Very spacious and lots to choose from, you could spend hours and hours in here.

    I happened to stop in on my way to get "dessert" after dinner at D&B last weekend. I was amazed at…read morehow big the store was! I was excited to see all the manga and anime figures they had available as well. The guy on staff was helpful with recommendations of manga that I was looking at, and he was patient as I knocked some of them over. I look forward to going back and seeing what they have in stock. I ended up getting a Muzak QPosket. :)

The ungraded higher end books, however, were sort of scattered about the store, on various walls, or even stacked (unstoppable) in a glass case. The back room ha 25 or so long boxes to look through. A note on the prices of the raw books: WAY over market. I mean, astronomically so. Prime example, Daredevil #181 in NM is a $5-15 book all day. This store had it at $55. That's just one example. I've never Said to a store owner/employee "how on earth are you pricing these?!" But I did today. The owners wife? Was super sweet though, and took my complaining in stride. I bought all of two comics unfortunately, but I was looking to spend far far more. I would come back, if only to score a nice CGC book or three.

    Kind of a dark store, on the smaller side and with some very odd hours, the selection of comics is…read moredecent and there is a lot of eclectic stuff in there as well, such as old video games. There is also a solid selection of action figures, including some older ones, so worth a look in that respect. Prices are also excellent, which gives it the push I was thinking from 3.5 stars, but this would be something I'd look into only occasionally, as it's debatable how worth the fight to get in during the limited hours is. For me, this will be something I'll check in maybe 2 or 3 times a year...
