Basically they either have what you're looking for or don't. The employees are amazing and friendly, always striking up conversations with guests so the environment feels welcoming. I definitely will keep coming back when there is a new release.

Several…read moremembers of my family are comic book fans, aka sequential art, and my nephew and I are actually working on writing comics! Whether you are team DC or team Marvel or both, this shop has a tremendous selection of your favorites. This place is very organized and neat! Boxes and rows of comics to sift through and choose from will fill an afternoon of nerdy bliss. If you are a collector of action figures, toys, Pop characters, etc. this store has some nice choices. Their selection isn't huge, but definitely worth a gander. There was a Mad Magazine Robin figure that was really cool and hilarious! And the prices are fair, pretty much the same as other similar places. The young man who checked me out (I stocked up on Archie Double Digests!) was super friendly and helpful. He even offered me some sandwiches that had been catered from Jimmy Johns! WOW! BOING!! Lunch and a good read... my day is looking up!! BAM!

They carry Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Dragon Ball and other gaming titles in single packs, decks and box sets. Trading cards are all the rage. They host league tournaments for various card events for gaming enthusiasts. They don't stock comic books or figurines, but if you're a card collector, their inventory runs from Star Wars to TV cards to anything from A-Z! There are plenty of tables in this homey, welcoming atmosphere. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, and if you're new the the card scene, they make you feel like a regular in no time. Collector's Heaven also supports FeedMore with food drives which helps to feed those in need in the community. They're definitely playing with a full deck!

This business doesn't deserve even the one star that Yelp requires as a minimum…read more My son and I stopped in today because he wanted to check out their Pokémon inventory. While we were browsing, a young man in the store asked the employees behind the counter if they were interested in purchasing some cards from him. They declined. After hearing that, I casually mentioned that my son might be interested if the seller was looking to move them. My son even politely asked if that would be a problem. Instead of responding professionally or courteously, one of the employees immediately stated that if my son and the seller worked out a deal, they would owe the store a 15% commission. The comment came across as rude, unnecessary, and frankly absurd considering the store had already made it clear they had no interest in the transaction themselves. To avoid any issues, we left the store and sat on a nearby bench outside. A couple of minutes later, the owner/manager came outside and rudely questioned my son and the other young man about whether they were conducting business. When they answered honestly, he told us to get off "his property." The problem? We were on a bench alongside the sidewalk. What should have been a simple interaction escalated into an unnecessarily confrontational situation because of the owner's attitude and lack of basic customer service skills. Rather than treating potential customers with respect, he chose hostility, intimidation, and arrogance. Words were exchanged, and while it's doubtful he cares, he permanently lost our business. I fully understand that a business owner has the right to manage activities inside their store and maintain a professional environment. What I do not understand is the sense of entitlement and disrespect shown toward customers, especially when they were no longer on the premises. The entire encounter left the impression that the only thing that mattered was whether the owner was getting a piece of the transaction. The unfortunate reality is that behavior like this drives people away from the hobby and creates a toxic atmosphere that benefits no one. The one positive outcome from the experience was that my son and I met a genuinely nice young man and made a new friend. If you're looking for a card shop that values its customers and understands how to treat people with courtesy and respect, there are much better options in the area (BangerZ Cards, The Card Guys, etc.). We have had far better experiences elsewhere and will gladly take our business to shops that appreciate their customers.

When at the store, I could not find the product and asked an associate for help. The associate was in a completely different department and very busy. However, he stopped, directed me to where the product SHOULD be. Not finding it, he took the time to go to the back storage, again, coming back empty handed. Before I knew it, he had accessed a ladder....went down various aisles, looking in boxes stored high up and labeled with only SKU codes. Still nothing. At this point, I politely let him off the hook by thanking him; but he persisted. After at LEAST 15 mins of dogged searching, the product was found! The associate at the Willow Lawn was named RICK. He very well could have been the manager? I have NEVER EVER seen such dedication to customer care and wanted to take the time to give this review in hopes that someone at that location shares this with him.
