It is not overwhelmingly superfluous. This store lends itself to making thoughtful purchases, allowing us to think about the recipient and the joy it will bring them. This store and the items they have on their shelves really speak to the purpose of toys, but also their expertise of providing what is trending in addition to the classics that continue to bring smiles and joy to people. I've gifted items to high school graduates, college graduates, primary school aged children in my family, and colleagues from this store and they all loved and almost all of them knew the items I purchased! I love the feeling of giving a gift and knowing the recipient loves it.

Inside is a little chaotic and claustrophobic but that kind of adds to the experience. Staff members seemed friendly and helpful, based on how they were interacting with other customers. I would come back during the Holidays or when I need to find unique gifts for friends. This place has some funky flavored sodas like peanut butter & jelly, and bacon.

Not only that, they have pre-separated parts readily available in bundles for any MOCs you want to build or minifigure armies you're trying to create. Such an easy experience. Good selection of old System era sets and minifigs too. Friendly staff! Everyone is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I'll be back for Vladek's Dark Fortress one of these days soon!

The owner was really nice and helped us find a few specific cars we were looking for. I love it when you can hear people who really love their hobbies and there was another customer in there who was super excited about a specific car that the owner had found for him - I got excited just listening to them! We left having just bought 2 cars since my kid was too overwhelmed by the choices but I can see an older kid wanting everything - beware if you are a parent that wasn't going to spend a ton. That being said, the specialty/collectors items are probably pricier but the ones we bought were under $4. Not too shabby for when you want something specific.

Oh yeah, they had some extra goodies from celebrating a birthday and sent us home with some cookies and treats. Totally unplanned and stumbled on this local gem and we are so happy we did. Can't wait to come back again!

This is not a legitimate business, I do not know how the actual store is, but they are not legitimate online do not order from them. They will steal from you. The owner replied that it was automatically canceled because of fraud when everything else that I bought today went through without a problem. I'm sitting on a well over 20 K in that account, and when I tried to call the business, there is nobody to speak to it goes to a voicemail telling you to contact their email. So if this guy really cared about a sale, he would be contacting me right now trying to make things right and get me to buy the product because I actually did need it for a gift and it's going to be hard to source elsewhere. I'm sorry even the reply here is just absolutely pathetic.

Jimmy's USA is definitely a Hidden Gem!…read more Located on the second floor of the building, Jimmy's USA is a Buy, Sell, Trade location for collectors and fans of from baseball merchandise, Hot wheels, action figures to sports merchandise and video games. Parking was limited in front but there is more parking behind the building. Had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy the owner! Who was super kind and definitely has a love for the people who come and the collectors community! Everyone there was super nice and welcoming with good prices! The absolute highlight of my day was trading with David, who has a booth toward the left end of the entrance. He's such a sweet and genuine gentleman! I had the pleasure of trading Dodger bobbleheads with him! If you're into sports, retro games, or unique collectibles, this is definitely an intimate place to check out. It may be small, everyone here has a lot of heart for collecting which honestly made the experience of trading and collecting feel even more special.

That place felt massive. This location does feel a little smaller, but it's still massive. Plenty of vendors and variety, some shady vendors that will overcharge too much or just be plain rude, but overall it's a great experience as you will find very niche and interesting/weird stuff. You will also find vendors selling things for great prices. Make sure to bring cash and most vendors will give you a discount. The only downside is even with the ridiculously large parking area, it STILL fills up every single day. It's literally always busy, so prepare to walk a lot. Always fun to visit every once in a while.

One time, I was looking at buying some TCG cards, when a guy bought a whole booster box, opened them all, picked out the couple cards he wanted and asked the vender if they wanted to buy the rest back. Vender refused, so I offered $20 for everything. It was amazing. Now, it's gotten way too commercial for my liking. Everything cost way more than they should, and You can't find a deal anywhere. Last week, I came in looking for a couple MTG to fill out my cEDH deck. Seller says they price things competitive off TCGPlayer website, and then quoted me $6over the tcg price for a $20 card. He says they have to charge more since the booth costs them money. So... I could just buy online, save the upcharge, and you will have to pay for shipping? Thanks but no thanks.

I also purchased a Green Lantern power battery replica for a very fair price, below the current market value by a fair amount.

The employees were all friendly, and knowledgeable, and in something I like seeing in shops like this, seemed to lean on each other to compensate for questions they didn't have answers to.

All the staff is super nice and genuinely super kind! I've had no bad experiences here and they're all super knowledgeable about the things I'm interested in buying. They also provide really good suggestions for me which is great. Overall a great comic book store and nice figure options!
