My bf and I came here for Free Comic Book day and at first we drove around in circles looking for the place. Luckily, I was able to spot the sign from across the street. The store is really small but the people who works here are nice and they allowed us to grab some free comics from previous years as well as whatever was left for Free Comic Book day this year. It didn't look like they have much in variety and quantity of comics since the place is so tiny but I'm sure they can hook you up with some interesting finds.

The shop is hidden away in the corner of a plaza and is not too hard to find once you spot it. There are plenty of parking spots, and the shop has a retro comic feel once you walk in. The two gentlemen within the shop were great help and were able to answer all of my questions. We talked for a bit, and they were able to put my order in for the new tmnt ronin comics coming out. You can tell the order bases on demand and specific needs so that don't have a lot on the shelves but that is more of a reason to stop by and get on the list to pull your upcoming comics. Overall, this shop has plenty of heart. It's definitely my new home base for comics and collectibles.

I finally was able to bring him and was pretty impressed by the shop. The walls are fully equipped with comics that range from Marvel, DC, anime, and other pop culture shows. I had a few comics that caught my eye; of course, Harley Quinn. Shout out to Enrique who satisfies my sons requests and always has what he wants. Every time Manny goes shopping there, Enrique has given numerous suggestions and gives him the inside scoop of what is new. All the comics are in great condition and packaged nicely to avoid damage. Definitely worth the price and to add to your collection. Back to the store, on the other side of the shop, there is an arcade with pinball machines and other popular arcade games. Such a fun time when visiting. Overall, great comic store and located conveniently next to the AMC. You can stop in to play a few games and to check out what they have in stock.

Our experience was better than I could've ever hoped for. There are rows and rows of different comic books, neatly organized, and very easily viewed. It is like a little kids comic book dreamworld. So many cool different things to look at. The staff (maybe owner?) Enrique is so kind and so happy to help. We were able to look at things that were within the age range for my kid to enjoy. There's also a couple rows of really cool vintage pinball games. For a dollar you get to play several rounds. Overall amazing experience, we will be back. I feel like everything we wanted to buy, we went ahead and bought and I still left there for under $30. I noticed that he's selling the current comic books for the price labeled on the book, he's not up selling and gouging. This is the kind of place I think our community should work really hard to keep in business.

The Shop is a combination of OFTN clothing line and 3BitGames retro game store, they offer up limited run clothing line that is gaining traction throughout the Pomona area. You can also find an assortment of retro games, consoles and merchandise all in the same building with 3Bitgames a mainstay at the Pomona Indoor Swap Meet, they offer classes in Pokémon the card game or other card based games. Stop by and say hello to either owners Rico or Dewayne and get the intro into the gorgeous city of Pomona. read more

There happened to be a blackout in the area, but the owner handled it really well and gave everyone several options: take the prerelease kits without playing, get a refund, come back the following week, or play with the lights off. We ended up playing in the dark, and honestly, it was still a really fun and memorable experience. The store is located in a plaza in Montclair with plenty of parking, which is always a plus. Walking in, it feels more like a boutique than a typical card shop. The floors were spotless, the walls looked freshly painted, and the lighting (when on!) was bright and inviting. It didn't have that cluttered, messy feel you sometimes see in game stores--no piles of empty boxes or disorganization. Everything felt clean, intentional, and premium. Even the restroom was very well maintained. It's clear the owner put a lot of effort into the layout and overall atmosphere. There's a front area with great natural light and a larger back area with plenty of tables for events. The event itself was run very professionally. They had no trouble reaching quorum thanks to an easy RSVP and online payment system. That system also made it simple to distribute store credit directly to your account, which made everything smooth and hassle-free. Start times and deck-building times were strictly enforced, which I appreciated. Everyone was on equal footing--no early access or advantages for regulars like I've seen at other shops. They used the official Magic Companion app to keep everything organized, and the owner actively checked in on players to make sure things were running smoothly. Prize support was solid, though slightly different from what I'm used to. The winner received a booster box, and everyone else earned $5 in store credit per match win. Personally, I'm more accustomed to booster packs for 2nd or 3rd place, but getting $15 in store credit for going 3-1 in a $30 event is still a pretty good value. Overall, this was a very well-run event and a great experience. Compared to other stores I've been to, the cleanliness, organization, and professionalism here really stand out. I'd definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to play Magic events in a well-maintained, thoughtfully run environment.
