Best tabletop and TCG in my area. I drive from stockton to try and make business with this place. The guy there is always super relaxed and helpful if you ask for help. They also may be able to order for you what they don't have. Magic items are often cheaper here too. They also have a great selection of board games, role-playing game, painting products for miniatures and other TCG accessories. They don't sell single cards though. Great place.

First it was just a D&D/toy shop, with a couple of comics an tables. Now there comic scene has tripled in size. Have cards of all kinds(pokemon, magic, yugioh and even dragon ball and final fantasy.) Tons of paints an figures to paint. It's like a miniature art supply shop. Also great place for old school toys an pop figures an statues. Plus they hold tournaments for multiple card games. Along with plenty of gear for your cards. Like sleeves an deck boxes to name brand card boxes like ultra gaurd, game genic an ultra pro. Definitely worth a stop.

I LOVE THIS SHOP. The owner is a friendly guy and really helpful. The best part about this shop is that you can PREORDERED anything that he sells and he will put it on hold for you. I try to stop in at least once a week to see what's new. He has comics, trading cards, board game, figure and a lot more.

I love this local shop. Very cool atmosphere. Very organized and clean. New release comic books are displayed nicely along the main wall... Back issue comics are towards the back of the store.. Various games are also sold through out the store including Pokemon, Magic, etc. Trades and manga could be found near the back issue section as well. Everything is well-priced. I love that this store stocks up on comic book supplies such as cool design short boxes, boards and bags, other accessories... all at very reasonable prices.

There is one large table dedicated to RPG groups, but there are also several others available assuming the store isn't having some sort of event. There's a lot of room for small groups.
