Gateway Comics and Toys is one of the largest comic book and toy stores I've ever seen. They are…read morelocated in the back of the plaza, look for the space with the signage of "Comics." Gateway literally has just about everything the comic or toy collector would desire. Staff were excellent during our visit and were very helpful. The selection is extensive of new and retro Star Trek, Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Masters of the Universe toys. Some items are kept behind counters and glass cases. Loose figurines are available without original packaging. Pop Vinyl selection was large. If they don't have the item you're looking for, other stores will not have it either. They don't do much with video games, however. What is preventing me from ending this review with five stars? Prices at Gateway Comics and Toys are top dollar and almost all items are priced well above market. The comic book section was also unusual. The new pull selection was huge, but I was having trouble following their organizational system. Dollar books were rough even for dollar books. Long boxes with books priced at $3 and back issues priced as marked were above market. They also have graphic novels and wall books are kept behind the front counter. Would I tell you come here? Absolutely. This place is an experience with the only comparable store I've seen being a New Dimension Comics location in Western Pennsylvania. They have more than some small comic/toy shows. You however are going to pay top dollar here.

Time and Space Comics is located in the small Patton K Plaza shopping center with several other…read morebusinesses including a Papa Johns. The store hours here make it very accessible compared to many others I've visited. It's larger than many other comic, collectables, and retro toy stores, with it also being very clean and organized. Toy selection was extensive with large selections of Star Trek, Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Transformers, Power Rangers, and Ninja Turtles to name a few. Toys with missing parts were clearly labeled, which was impressive. They also had unusual toys rarely seen at other stores, like WMAC Masters figures, which I sure didn't expect to find. New pull comic selection was decent, along with long box and wall book selection. They have some manga. The owner who we talked to was the toy expert and was super friendly. After visiting several other shops in the area, we found Time and Spaces prices to be much more competitive than almost all others. Time and Space Comics is the best retro toy/collectable store I've seen in the last year and is worth going out of your way to visit.

I've shopped at this store a few times and have become increasingly disappointed with it. For a…read morestore centered around a medium so deeply ingrained in art, I find it extremely strange to see AI-generated content being used on their social media pages, such as Instagram. It feels completely out of place for a comic shop and has definitely made me lose respect for the store. On top of that, I am not impressed with their comic selection. I rarely find what I'm looking for, and I've had much better luck at just about every other comic store in the area. Other comic stores, such as Gateway Comics and Painted Visions Comics, have a larger variety and better prices. Unfortunately, I highly doubt I will shop here again. I will also be attaching photos of their AI-generated videos in case they decide to delete them after I leave this review. They take comic book covers and turn them into short AI-generated clips. It adds nothing of value to the original artwork and, in my opinion, is disrespectful to the hardworking artists who created these covers in the first place. Using AI to alter and animate their work feels completely unnecessary, especially for a business that is centered around comics and the artists who create them.

Front and back with free to play arcade games means you can make a bit of time of it, hit the nearby brunch then wander down either memory or fandom lanes. A good showing here and well curated that shows they get it, without seeming like they're "too" interested in the odd hyper price hike cash grab in the space in some of the fandom frenzy areas. Pleasant surprise for a very simple expectation on the outside.

I was surprised by how large Tosche Station Echo Base is. The store is split into two rooms: the…read morefront room is dedicated to toys and collectibles, while the back room is packed with comics. They have a huge selection of action figures, statues, used video games, retro video games, and, of course, comics. The comic room has a ton of back issues, organized primarily by publisher--Marvel, DC, and independent. There are also several random long boxes without labels, along with a table containing several boxes labeled "Keys." There were also 3-4 short boxes of "key issues" scattered around the checkout counter. Fair warning: these boxes aren't particularly organized. Saying they're "loosely alphabetized" would probably be giving them too much credit. That said, if you enjoy digging through boxes looking for hidden gems, this can be a fun place to treasure hunt--as long as you have the time and patience. I'm a Spawn collector, and the designated Spawn section only had a handful of issues. However, I ended up finding several more Spawn issues scattered throughout the "Key" boxes on the table in the back. I even found more in the "Key" boxes at the checkout counter. I think consolidating all of these boxes into one organized area would make the shopping experience much better. It's fun finding unexpected issues, but when you're specifically hunting for something, it can be frustrating when the boxes aren't organized or alphabetized. As for pricing, the comics are generally priced fairly. Some of the variants and key issues are priced a bit on the high side, though, so it's worth knowing your values before making a purchase. The back room also has a free-to-play arcade cabinet, which is a nice bonus and adds to the retro vibe. The staff was nice and very helpful, which made the visit even better. Overall, this is a great spot for collectors who enjoy the treasure-hunt experience. If you have some time to spend digging through boxes, you never know what you might uncover. Just be prepared to do some serious hunting! ‍

The service was great and the selection was well above average. The store is laid out in a very easy to manage way, and the selection of products is pretty terrific. You would be hard pressed to find a more complete comic and gaming store in the area. SELECTION: like I said before they have a great selection of stuff. It is divided into two sections so it's easy to find what you need. Comic books are very well laid out with a easy to find rack of new comics as well as bins of old comics. I really appreciated the family friendly area too. for the card section, they have both training cards and collectible card games. They carry things like Pokémon, Magic the Gathering , Lorcana, and Star Wars unlimited. But they have much more than just that. SERVICE: service was great! Overall, they are very helpful and it is well staffed. It was a little disorganized near the register, but can't really complain because of the great selection and the friendly attitude. COST: the value for what you get is right on the Mark. It is a place with reasonable prices and they stick relatively close to MSRP. The exceptions being what you would find at any other card shop. Right now Pokémon cards are through the roof, but at least here they are reasonable.

Many others in the area will buy card games from the manufacturer then sell at inflated prices to squeeze all value out of a set. Pair o Dice doesn't do this and it's quite admirable.
