This is the best place in town to get high-quality card sleeves and prices are competitive to online. They have dragon shield and game-specific sleeves that rotate through. Sometimes some very cool and unique options. I can't help but to check the sleeves section every visit. For TCG players and collectors, it's like being in a candy shop. They have so many cool games to explore... The big ones, and all sorts of lesser-known games like Akora and Metazoo. Some of their TCG prices can high sometimes, but that is very standard for game shops in my experience, so I don't really hold that against them too much. They do have a great setup for playing as well, with a whole separate room as well as tables in the shop area. And we have always felt welcome either by ourselves or with our kid (family friendly!) If you like paints and other collectibles, they also have tons. The overall selection at this place is vast! All-in-all I love this shop and I've always had friendly encounters with the owners & staff
Good people but had a bad experience when they vended at Fan Expo Chicago. I was going through their bulk box for about an hour and found some good cards I wanted. Some of the prices for the same cards varied and the shop employee told me it's because they're not always consistently checking the prices for their bulk box items (for example, I found 4 different N's Zoroarks at different prices ranging from $2 to $9). While searching, I found a Brilliant Stars Trainer Gallery Umbreon Vmax for $11. As I was showing them the cards I was looking to buy, the owner came up, said the price was wrong, immediately re-priced the item at $60 and put it in their display case instead of back in the bulk box. This was after we chatted, had a bit of banter, and I was led to believe that they were gamers for gamers. Sadly, no amount of being good people means much in the face of money. They get 3 stars for having a great selection at standard pricing but definitely 2 less stars due to them doing the physical definition of a seller on TCGplayer cancelling your order because you ordered cards at a good value that spiked in price. I can't fault them for doing what any common businessperson would do, but it still left an awful feeling that I had for the rest of the convention; should have expected less.
We had a great experience last weekend. We don’t have a local shop near us for TCG. Sealed product was limited which was expected with the current state of Pokemon but they had an excellent selection of singles that were priced very reasonably and the guy working was more than accommodating. We were there for 2 hours looking around and asked to look at probably 50+ cards and he was awesome about it no matter how many cards we didn’t end up getting or wanted to look at. This will be our main card shop stop for now on.
Your one stop shop for all things pop culture - Purveyors of fine escapist adventure since 1978! Comic Books, Graphic Novels, CCGs, Board Games, Manga, RPGs, Action Figures, Funko, & More!
Very friendly, helpful! If your unable to find something in their store, they have a computer there with their list of products from their warehouse in the back. Very comfy environment for anime fans. Also! If you're looking for blind box figures and want a particular one they have them displayed and get to pick what you want :D
The Chicagoland area's best comic shop, with tens of thousands of back issues for sale.
Wonderful store. They have a bit of everything (old and new). I was working on my vintage 1960's baseball sets. They have a lot of great boxes of vintage behind the counter. Be sure to ask the super friendly staff if vintage is your thing. Good selection with fair prices. I will go back next time i am in Peoria.
