I haven't…read morebeen in the door to the right, but I think it's owned by the same family, and has a lot of Kawaii/Cute things for sale. My wife found this awesome little hobby shop last night while hanging out with a couple of friends, and when she came home and told me about it, we ended up going back together the next day. I'm into all things nerdy, especially anime and GUNPLA, so I grabbed an SD model kit and a Thousand Sunny Bandai kit from One Piece. They've also got individual actual Pokémon, One Piece, Magic decks, and individual cards in binders for sale (at least for Pokémon, I'm unsure of the other cards games.) They had some Anime models, Manga, a bunch of stickers, different types of dice (for tabletop gaming), plushies, some older video game stuff, and I think there were Warhammer model kits. It's a small local shop, so prices are a little bit higher than what you'd see at big box stores. BUT you're supporting a local business, and that's always really worth it. There are some game rooms in the back where people can play tabletop stuff like board games or Dungeons & Dragons. They've got a bathroom (I didn't check it out), plus a little section with snacks and sodas to indulge if you get hungry while you're there playing. Big shoutout to the guy behind the counter. He was super cool to my wife and her friends last night, and even more so when we came back today. I watched him today helping other customers too. Super patient, very friendly, and just seems like a genuinely good guy. Definitely the kind of shop and person I love to support. He also said that if we have We will absolutely be back here.

My only guess is they saw that the secondary market exploded and the price doubled so they cancelled my order so they can sell it for more at inflated prices. While not illegal or against the rules, it's horrible customer service and degrades trust.

In addition to the various hobby shop related wares - there are lots of neat little bits to the store - a miniature old school pinball machine; a little red wooden wagon mounted on the wall; upstairs on a door - a sign that painted with the words: "The Speakeasy," harkening back to an earlier time when a previous business conducted wine tastings and such upstairs at this location. All the staff members I met and interacted with were helpful and very nice! #WarrentonHobbyShoppe

Joe, Transformers, and Masters of the Universe/She-Ra toys were among the many offerings this shop has. They also had loose toys in clamshells. Comic book new pull selection was good with many longboxes being priced at three dollars. They had no dollar boxes. Graphic novel selection was good and they have Manga offerings. Several retro arcade cabinets are located in the back room and they were busy during our visit. Prices were more on point then other shops like this in the area, with my friend getting two She-Ra toys that were in EXCELLENT condition for a great price. Tosche Station Echo Base is a must stop when in the area for the selection and the staff were also excellent to chat with.

I had always thought the store was more geared towards sports memorabilia but there truly is a little something for everyone here. My children were enamored by their large Pokemon collection, my husband loved all the vintage comic books, and for me there was a section with old records to browse through. We easily blew through an hour looking at everything in the store and let me tell you... my children are not patient people. By the end of our visit we had to pick up some items to help build up my pre-schooler's budding Pokemon collection and something for big sis too. Staff was friendly and store was very well organized.

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.

If you are looking for a certain card in the sports world, there's a good possibility they have it...but plan on paying for it. I gauge card shops by the price of the current boxes they offer - they had the hard to find 24 Optic Football blasters & Mega boxes but the blasters were priced at $75 and the Megas were $120. Even the Topps Celebration Megas were well over priced at $149.95. If I need to waste some time, I may stop back by to look thru one of their many boxes of cards but won't be a regular.
