This place is a prime example of why we need a better local gaming shop. Do not even attempt to trade product in here. You will get pennies on the dollar. Save yourself the time. To add yes a flat rate of pennies on the dollar. Change your attitude towards all your customers to be fair and you wont get this type of rating.

Oddly quiet to the point people whisper. Big selection of items for anyone into anime, board games, comics and a few video game things.

Been here a few times, theyre about equal distance from me and a competitor. Their prices for sealed product are always close to msrp OR TCGplayer matched which is incredibly fair, their mtg singles products are also price matched which is great. The staff has never been anything but polite to me, best LGS ive seen in Cinci

A great shop that I visit with regularity! I get lots of supplies and things for my card gaming hobby. A great spot to spend time browsing through MTG singles. Also a great shop for tabletop/miniatures gamers, anime enthusiasts, etcetera. Definitely pay them a visit!

Cool place.. near items, but unfortunately these places are so underrated and overlooked for what they are that these kind of stores just dont last. Store is kind of hard to navigate through all the items.. needs better system for trading cards and some other items, but overall... really cool place.

Been there twice. They’re really over priced on what little sealed Pokémon product they have. I would of payed a little extra if the person working was even partially polite or engaging! The LAST time I went I was looking for singles for my shining fates master set. I bought one (which was priced higher than TCG) then saw some other singles and asked if I got a few if they would come down $4 because of how high they priced them and centering wasn’t good and all the guy said was “nope”!literally the only words he spoke to me the whole time I was there. I saw someone else leave a review saying they didn’t hardly engage with him and acted relieved once he left and that’s exactly how I felt!! I’ll continue to drive 45min to No Limit Gaming before I spend one more cent here!

The best card shop around. The staff here are phenomenal. There’s a very wide selection of magic the gathering products and singles. I love to come here and sift through hundreds of cards to find the next thing to win commander night. Please come and see if there’s anything here for you. lol

Me and my boyfriend love the place so much. The owner is very kind and even knows us by name at this point. He’s always willing to help us find what we’re looking for. He’ll even give us advice on better ways to play some of the games he sells.

Owner is always friendly and greets you when you come into the store. Large selection of Magic and Pokémon cards with some Yu-Gi-Oh and Dragon Ball Super individual cards and packs. Prices are in line with TCG Players. Haven’t had a bad experience there in the 5 years I’ve been going there

Ron is always super nice, and his shop is great! They have games, cards, snacks, collectibles, and he now uses the storefront next door so we can play TCGs!!! Weve been going there since we moved to Ohio and its one of the best card shops! I think theres even a group of streamers who go there for Magic the Gathering.He also doesnt scam people with resealed cards and charges a reasonable price on his items compared to other places that try to double the cost. I trust this business and encourage everyone to check it out!

Great place, lots of selection, for all your nerdiness needs. Ron and company have done a great job renovating and expanding to adapt during the pandemic. They are big on inclusion, so if you are going to be disrespectful or rude, youre going to have a bad time.

Review №23

Ive gone here a few times to browse and have bought some things now and then. Its one of the few reasons left to visit Eastgate Mall, and they have a decent selection of board games (though they often have more expansions than the core games themselves). Board game prices are not as high as list - they used to have a discount, not sure if they still do.That said, the customer service is just awful. Any time I have bought something there, staff literally acts like you disgust them, wont talk to you outside of giving you a total, and seems to be happy when you leave. Supporting your local friendly game store is great, but its hard to do when they forget the friendly part.

Review №32

Was able to reliably get our first experience with shining fates and other pokemon tcg from the store at prices that dont match the scalpers. You can tell they are really trying to limit scalpers and give as many people the joy of opening packs for their own collection. Gave my sibling in law an amazing experience and got some great cards theyll sleeve up and treasure forever. :)

What can I say about this place? It’s amazing! Anytime I go in all the associates, and even the owner himself are very kind and helpful. They have an amazing stock of various things! From anything anime related, to D&D! This is my first choice for when I am pokemon card hunting. The whole team is knowledgeable about the product, and they’re pricing is fair! I always find something I gotta have, and I am thankful to have a shop like this in Eastgate! There aren’t many places like this around, and we’re lucky to have this shop in our little tristate area. ✨😊

This place is the best! My son recently got into Pokémon cars and I wanted to make sure I was getting legit cards and not fakes or resealed packs from Amazon. The owner of the shop was so helpful and gave me some tips on buying and what to watch out for as far as fakes. I will be getting my cards from here from now on.

Review №47

I have been in this store a couple of times, and each time I am disappointed. I would love to shop local like at this store, but given their prices and customer service I have given up. I have a couple areas of feedback:Prices on sealed product: This store sells products for scalper prices. I went in seeing if they had Kanto Powers boxes, and they did. But to my surprise they are selling them for $100.00 which is a total rip off. Not even scalpers are charging this much. Also, they are selling vivid voltage build and battle boxes which is supposed to be like $19.99 but the owner didnt even break the case and was selling it for $600.00 for the lot.Individual card prices: The owner claims he is selling cards for TCG Player prices which is not true at all. The prices he is charging would be accurate if the cards were in Near mint condition, but many of the cards are beat up, or moderately-heavily played, and that drops the value significantly.Customer Service: The customer service is terrible. When you walk in no one greets you or even acknowledges your presence. This has happened the past two times I have been in. The past two times I had to get the workers attention in order to be helped at all. It is almost like they do not even care about customers.

I was looking around the eastgate mall with my boyfriend and we happened upon time warp cards and comics I bought a comic for $1.99 and a 2 pack of wwe action figures for $24.99 for my son. I gave the cashier 2 20 dollar bills we were talking about the undertaker action figure and how I couldnt find any online for under $40.00 let alone a 2 pack(undertaker and Jeff hardy) I dont know if I unintentionally distracted him but he gave me my change and it was $10 short. I didnt realize it until we were almost home and stopped for gas (we live in hyde park) and we had already been to florence KY and everything we didnt feel like going all the way back out there. My boyfriend told me to let it go its only 10 dollars.. but it is the principle of the situation I didnt know if it was a mistake or if it was some underhanded stuff either way its disappointing.Update: I went back and the gentleman gave my ten dollars back. Thank you!!!

Review №58

Very cool store, expensive as these types of stores typically are. For example, I went in looking for miniature tabletop figurines. They have the one I wanted but it was $9.99. I can go online and get a variety pack of 15 (including the one I want) for $25. Still, they have a great selection of cards and tabletop boardgames.Younger long haired gentleman was extremely rude. The other older gentleman with gray hair was slightly more welcoming but still hag a hurry up and get out of here vibe which made me feel rushed. Probably wont go back.

Review №59

Best selection and pricing on Pokemon products in the area. They use TCG to look up pricing and also use what they call a buy mat so you know what you are really paying for each card. I was lucky enough to be there as they got in more kanto power and build and battle boxes and i bought them all, sure they were marked up to just below the going rates but it was still a great deal. They will be my 1st stop for anything pokemon related in the future. Keep up the great work guys.

Review №61

All their employees are paid under the table. Dude expects the world of them for nothing.He over charged hoping “someone who doesn’t know what it’s worth” will pay for it.He takes out loans to pay his rent so the mall doesn’t kick him out.The owner, and his son are both rude as can be.The only thing good about this place are the people why play there, though people seem to migrate elsewhere after a while. Really hope this place shuts down.Oh yeah! NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING is ever their fault. Note how they reply to the negative reviews. EXTREMELY Unprofessional, and extremely rude.

Very cool place, great selection. Though, all the games are way more expensive than what you can get them for on Amazon. My advice, write down the games your interested in and their prices, then compare with whats on Amazon. Great place to hang out and browse though, and probably awesome for gaming.

Review №77

The owner seems like a cool guy and is typically very helpful. They have a plethora of stuff to look at. I mainly look for MTG cards and they have what I want probably 50% of the time. My issue comes from 2 things 1) its very much a niche place where they assume everyone who comes in is a regular. Prime example being for a pre-release event and I saw no rules posted so found out during the event I did several things wrong. As a casual customer better organization and questions from the staff are needed. Event started over an hour past the listed start time and there was never any communication about it no apologies and when I made commentary about the situation the workers and other customers looked dumbfounded that I was questioning this like it was common knowledge this happens all the time. 2) the owners son provides the worst customer service imaginable. He is not approachable and doesnt seem to care in anyway if he gets your business. The rest of the staff seems pretty good but whenever the son is around you know youre not going to get a good customer experience. Its probably different if youre a regular and he knows you.In general I love to see small businesses succeed but in order to grow substantially you need to attract new customers by providing a positive, helpful and informative first time experience. Which sad to say is hard to come by at this place. In particular when the son is working the counter.

I just love buying my MTG cards and supplies from here. Good prices. If they dont have it they can get it for you. A good environment to play casual or competitive. They have many other things to check out depending on your game or collectable hobbies. Parents take your kid here they will love the options they have to choose from. Your wallet might not like it though! Lol they also have a store loyalty system rewarding you with points. Well worth spending your money here over other places.

Recently got into magic and pre-ordered the Ikoria, however i ordered too late into the game and was informed that all the buy a box promos were out. When I arrived to pick up my booster the owner informed me that they managed to pull a rabbit out of the hat and give me one, super happy with my purchase and excellent example of customer service!

Review №85

Store is nice, clean and organized. Staff was helpful. Unless you really need the cash, sell your cards to an online retailer. They will siff through your cards a couple of times, make some excuses about how cards will take them awhile to sell and then low ball you on price. I understand the store needs to make money, but an online retailer offered me more than two times what the store was offering. I think it would be helpful if the store would look at cards more thoroughly, and offer a more fair price. The reason why they didnt offer fair value was because stock may take a while to sell. The online retailer will have more stock than any store will have, and yet they will offer more for your cards. Besides that, I would recommend this store for anyone interested in comics or card gaming. Thank you.

I love this place. A very friendly pleasant atmosphere. Everyone who comes seems comfortable and in their element. My teen and husband visit a lot and do tournaments. The owner is fine with customers bringing food in and doesn’t limit their stay.I really wish we had a place like this growing up, for teens and adults to frequent. Keeps the kids out of trouble and gives this something to look forward too, when it’s cold and nasty outside.

Review №95

I’ve only been to this store a couple times, but every single time there was at least one staff member not helping another customer that could help me either find what I want, or to answer my questions. The staff were helpful, and were more than ready to discuss our shared interest. Their inventory is quite ridiculous, something you can take quite a bit of time looking through for the right cards. It seems most of the negative reviews have been posted in a short amount of time, all stemming from a single person’s complaint of not getting a position at the store they had no need for, and all using very similar phrases and complaints. Do with it what you will, but this is an incredible store that I personally will return to, and I encourage you to do the same.

Terrible customer service... I would strongly suggest going to any other gaming/collectors store that ya know wants the business.I noticed the price as soon as it popped on the screen, and I am glad I did cause you either tried to rip me off hoping I wouldnt notice or you need to come up with a better system for pricing! And yes you talked to the bank cause it was a mistake on you!!! So dont act like you went above and beyond... And yes I asked to take the item (which I would have paid for) which is the least you could do for your incompetence, but that is not what upset. It was the stupid little laugh you had which pretty much says I really dont give a damn about customers... So you can reply and defend yourself all you want and I will just go to businesses that have good customer service and appreciate my money.
