I was able to trade some graphic novels for store credit and purchase a few toys that were missing from my collection. Prices are very reasonable if not close to retail. This place isn't trying to break your bank and mark up the price like some other shops in the area. Staff is helpful and fair with store credit offer on items I brought in to trade. Looking forward to doing more trades.

Three bins, people! Two were full to the top. They kept it all and offered me thirty-two bucks. What a joke. Maybe they felt since I was getting rid of it I'd take anything?? They were right. I took the money and wrote this sour review, haha. Poor me aside, the female employee who assisted me was very kind. The male when I returned, though, not so much. I'll also say they do have a great selection of items to purchase. And their prices were reasonable for the few autobiographies I found. Maybe that's it. They give you next to nothing for your stuff so they can price books on the cheap too???

Update for change over time: They don't offer too much when…read morethey buy your items, but they have insanely good prices. The service is great, and they let you verify that game consoles/cartridge games are legit before you buy. This place is absolutely amazing, I just wish they'd buy at a slightly higher price. This place is worth checking out for books, movies, games, manga, and even collectibles. This is like Cool Stuff or Videogame Heaven, but with even more great things to buy. I'm extremely happy with my WiiU special edition, and the low price I bought it at. Thank you so much for your wonderful service :)

I've been in several times now and always find something I want to purchase for my daughter every time. They're always marking down seasonal items so some great deals can be found and they're well-stocked with the basics for every day. Seasonal outfits are always here in plenty of time to get something cute for a holiday or upcoming event. They have a consignment section in the back where you can find gently used items in various sizes like coats and snow gear, onesies, etc. They have tons of accessories for children and babies as well as cute developmental toys age appropriate. I love the location in Hilltop near tons of other fashionable shopping and great dining - it's one of my favorite shopping centers in town.

I saw no debris. Service was immediate on my last visit. I noticed they expanded into another store. I needed a special stuff animal they carry. Sprout has clothing from infant, toddler to tween. They also have toys. Cannot recommend Sprout more.

i am a mother of two littles brought in a ton of amazing…read moreitems in excellent condition some were absolutely new but I got a low ball offer twice from the ladies working there when I brought a baby tub they mixed up the production year with actual patent date year which are completely two different things basically calling me a lier saying this tub was bought in 2009 when it was purchased inn2024 I had to return to the shop to explain that they made a mistake and even pulled up all of the receipts showing when exactly this item was purchased and it was May 20 2024!! but they continued trying to find reasons why now they can't take it then said because logo sticker was removed from inside the tub they can't take it I was like but this is used items store all of the stuff there is used of course I'm not going to have a logo paper sticker glued to the inside of the tub where the new born baby be sitting what in a world!?! then they started literally trying to find whatever reason they could saying there was a microscopic little dot looking like a tiny peace of dirt on fabric - I explained even if there was a microscopic dust on it is because I had literally had to take this bath back and forth from my cars trunk and there was a stroller there so could pick some little dust from there that can be easily removed than they started talking about residue from the sticker needing to be cleaned off whole thing got to the point of absolute nonsense! at the end they ended up able to take it but they offered $3.19 for a $45 bath tub that is baby to toddler convertible with seat insert and everything this is absolute insult to a customer I was nothing but nice to you all of this time till you hinted that I'm a lier and that tub from 2009! brand new tub, whitest brand new plastic from 2009 can you imagine this nonsense ugh I have been disappointed to say the least you could have offered me 15 bucks I'd say it was fair deal knowing you want to make money on it but 3 dollars is insane you are going to make sooooo much profit on my items I already roughy you that you low balled me on and you couldn't be fair on a tub?? I'd not recommend this location to anyone ....

We received a humiliating lecture in not reading the receipt which has 8 different store credit policy that makes no sense considering this store appears to be a small vendor that relies on thr community to keep the doors open. But the icing in the cake was the store manager I believe, he didn't announce his role, slipped out of his mouth that most niggers can't read as the cashier was preparing the cash back return for the item after saying he will allow it this one time. I guess he decided to break his own policy that is written on his receipt of no cash back returns - only store credit by how huge my eyes got when I heard the horrible word come out of his mouth. I will never return and I feel sorry for the African American male store cashier that works there for his calm and kind demeanor is what made me purchase in the first place. I will also be reporting this place to the BBB as well, maybe I don't know how to read how to make sure racists store receives reviews that hurt them just like they hurt their customers.

The shelves are overflowing with comics from every universe--Marvel, DC, indie stuff that makes you question reality, and at least one title where a duck is a private investigator (don't ask, just read it). The staff? Legends. They speak fluent nerd, offer reading recommendations like comic sommeliers, and will absolutely roast you (lovingly) if you call Batman a superhero with no powers. This is a pure comic temple. Graphic novels as far as the eye can see. You'll walk in for one issue and leave with enough reading material to survive a small apocalypse. Just don't tell your partner you "accidentally" started a new pull list.

Kid in a candy store…read more Everyone knows that Wednesday's are special to the comic book community. And being away from my LCS, I needed to find a shop. Luckily, we have Yelp. Compared to all the shops I've been too, this is one of the larger LCSs. That's because they also hold playing cards tournaments. That's a whole different animal I don't want to get into. The store has it all. You want modern, old age, graphic novels, back issues, $1 bins, slabs, toy collectibles, figures, Pops, manga, and other art works, it's here. Along with candy, snacks, soda and a bathroom. How long do these card tournaments last? Geeks, told you they're different animals. ;p Much respect to the card community. And I guess they pass out tee shirts to new visitors. Automatic five stars there. Seriously overall is five stars. This place has it all and the people working there were very nice. I was able to chat with all of them and understand the comic book community area a bit better. Virginia is a big hub for the community and they get packed. So what are you waiting for, a movie? Get a book are read about it. M

They offer a variety of toys from the classics to unique things I have never seen before just begging me to take out of the packaging and play with. I loved that they even had a section dedicated to road trip activities. I spent some time chatting with Anna, a Playmaker at POP. She told me all about the owner, Alison and how POP was created. They go through great lengths to curate their shop with unique interactive toys that aren't usually picked up by the big name online or physical retail stores (think Amazon, Target, etc). They have lots to touch and play with at kid level and there were several kids that seemed to be enjoying making their wish list! They even have a mailbox set up where kids can make their wish list for their birthday, Christmas, or just for fun! Letting your kid pick out a toy online just isn't the same - a stop at POP will ignite their imagination and maybe spark your's along the way too!
