We walk in and arent greeted by the staff, never once in the almost 30 minutes we were in this store did anyone ask if we needed help. I was looking for an issue and probably wouldve bought it had I been able to find it. Apparently it was more important for the two employees there to talk amongst themselves.i guess customer service only exists if you are a regular. This will guarantee we wont ever come back.
Actually enjoys this store. Would be awesome if they had more space. Nice selection. When my sons birthday was coming up they in Sept. They assisted me in getting him some pokemon cards for a decent 2nd hand price nice pulls too! 👌🏻 the owner was quick to assist me after a little confusion and urgently repaired my worries. That also made a difference with this 5 star review. Thanks guys.
Always love going to this place lots of cool stuff to look at and a lot of cool people to hang around got my wife a new art piece
Pretty diverse set of comics and games. I was pretty disappointed in my experience though only because a person working there was yelling back and forth with another person, who it sounds like she knew, throwing obscenities left and right. I am not so conservative that Im not okay with the casual curse word here or there, but there must have been 7 or so F-bombs, and other words dropped in the matter of 30 seconds. I was really hoping to be able to bring my son here to get comics, but Im not comfortable with that kind of environment. It was super awkward because they were being so loud. When I left I overheard some guys leaving say that the employee does that all the time. Kind of odd.
Friendly people, and nice atmosphere. Definitely recommend a visit
The folks here are generally helpful and informative as well as being friendly. I prefer TBS over price busters or any other card shop. It may be helpful to note mostly in Magic the gathering. Only downside when it comes to TBS is selection of single cards. Price busters has more, but you are also gonna pay more. If you are looking for comics definitely swing by TBS.
Was phenomenal!!! The experience and knowledge of comics and movies was insane. Nothing like spending the day with people who make you feel like family.
I switched to this shop last year on Free Comic Book Day. Im still very glad I did it.This is as good as a comic book shop gets. Super friendly. They communicate openly with customers who have subscription lists with them.Its a well organized shop with lots of stock from the current running titles. They have a large game section.I give them lots of business and theyve never let me down. Kudos.
The selection of comics was somewhat diverse and as was the selection of card game supplies and toys. They had incredible 1$ selection, but as I was checking out the service was not preferable, the lady who was managing the cash register bent multiple of my comics, a collectors worst nightmare. The supply was amazing unlike the customer service, therefore 3 stars.
Ive been going here over four years, when I visit family. Had a pull-list for about 8mnths. Really nothing special. Standard fair, though back-issues are limited to that month, generally. And ordering a recent comic can take a month or more (covid, sure, even though they get accurate weekly shipments) And wargaming stuff is not competitive in price, compared to any number of online vendors. Standard patrons, shy and anti-social and generally pretentious. Loud when they speak of something they feel they know about, especially if a stranger is in earshot. Sub-par service from the obese proprietor, has zero interest in being social beyond the canned or practiced response required by his leisurely job. Entirely unhelpful unless queried about his personal focus, he indicated was comics... and, still largely unhelpful.Considering the slim geek pickings in Pensacola, TBS is sufficient if you want to game with friends or have a pull-list... but, not an enjoyable place in comparison to (cheaper) online merchants, or even nearby competing stores in Foley. Better selection than Pensacola Pop Comics, but the atmosphere and proprietors make Pop Comics the better weekly store.
Always a great experience. And a nice variety of nerd/geek culture. Super friendly staff too!
Walked around the store on 2 different occasions.I had to ask random people at a table if they worked at the store. I came in on new comic book day twice and was able to get NO new comics, plenty of old stock though.It’s a big store but no personal service or interaction, things that are needed at a comic book store.
Great store and love all the varieties of comics but you guys need a new card reader because I know my credit card works perfectly fine with no issues anywhere until I got to TBS. The dude probably was pressing a wrong button or swiping it wrong. Madly disappointed with this issue please fix it soon.
Great place to buy and play many tcgs Catch me up there playing magic on Fridays
Great venue for any card game or board game you might be interested in playing! Nice stock of Magic the Gathering cards and singles, board games, Pen and Paper RPGs, and miniature war games like Warhammer/War Machine/X-Wing. Lots of comics to thumb through. They even have a lot of D&D terrain and painting supplies. Great public venue to meet friends.
Great shop to visit. Friendly knowledgeable staff!
Super nice and definitely knows what theyre talking about
Love this place. Good selection of games and a helpful staff
I go to this place almost every week and every time i go it gets better and better. The staff will help you look for stuff and they are really nice people to talk to about comics and games. Ive wanted to work at TBS for a bit but i cant do to my age, but hopefully itll be soon.Btw i forgot to mention they have a really good selection and if you want to buy stuff but not now they can put it in a bag with your name (plus number) and keep it there till you buy it. Defenetly a good place to lose all your money. And trust me it happens to me several times.
Great selection of comics, cards, collectables and manga
Very friendly staff and super helpful.
Cool people and fun place
You will be hard pressed to find a comic shop as good as TBS Comics. The people, size, quality, selection, and atmosphere are leagues beyond any other Comic Book shop Ive been in. Whether you are looking for a specific item, a gaming group, a quick browse, or a place to come hang with friends...chances are, youll find what youre looking for at TBS Comics. It was my home away from home for 3 years. Its been 2 years now since I moved away, and I still havent found anything that came close. Dont believe me? Go find out for yourself. Youll be glad you did.
This place is perfect. The owners are kind and the vibes of this place for card play or D&D are very nice. They have a wide selection of comics, gameplay guides for D&D. Cards. Dice sets and much more. Dont skip this trip!
Ive been going to TBS for several years now and while from time to rare time there has been a few things thatll come up here and there thats not to do with the customers.One such thing I believe they deserve accolade is recognition for the trust theyve built over the years in their product. Speaking to the TCG market specifically and more specifically the Pokémon TCG, TBS does not currently sell sealed product purchased off the secondary market; a market right now that is flooded with scalpers and tampered product. Sealed product from TBS that Ive purchased came with an assurance that they came from the distributor. While purchase limits do exist because supply of the new product is extremely low, I believe this is another measure that fights against easy scalping.I put my trust in products from TBS comics.
Best card shop in town
Great options for games, pieces, and books. Love their random dice collections. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.
Great game selection.
Wonderful service and very helpful!! Lots to look at and nicely organized! Cant wait to go back!
Tds is a awesome nerd zone! If you are a nerd like me stop on by.....
Nice quiet comic book store, adhering to health and safety protocols. Friendly enough staff. I would come back and spend money.
They have lots of the amazing stuff here and are very knowledgeable about anything to do with Marvel, DC or comics! Any person living in any of these three things would absolutely love this place! Also anything gaming they have. Its a great place to go to have fun. And theyre not too expensive.
Friendly, laid-back environment. Been back multiple times.
Huge selection of everything from card games to miniatures to board games. Friendly atmosphere and soild prices. Best place in town for all your hobby needs!
Small but amazing. Packed full of comics, MTG, table top, collectables and RPGs! Ive always gotten great service here. Even if I dont know or understand something as a novice to a game. I am always pointed in the right direction with respect and able to get what I want or need.
Aside from the fact that its a local staple. And the headquarters for all magic HeroClix and role-playing strategy group games. The comic book selection is always fresh. You can get a subscription there I have one thats weekly. I pick up seven different titles. I have a discount it comes with that. The staff is always really friendly and eager to help. They turned me on to titles I wouldnt have text regularly. And they have some seriously limited edition figurines.
Ive always wanted to go inside to see what TBS had to offer, but the store moved to the current location. Let me assure everyone who may read this, but this IS the one stop place for your gaming needs! They have games from A to Z, and everything else in between too. The staff has been super great! If one goes in and tells them what they are looking for the find it, or can order it. The other thing is they ship from the other store, and in my case I was told it may be the next day, but no later than Monday. I stopped in on Friday, and by Saturday night my request was already there, but I wasnt expecting it until Monday! Im not sure if they set up times for game players to play, like rent tables, but every time Ive gone in, there has been at least 2 or 3 tables with games going on. One time they had a competition going on, and I was invited to come and watch! I always thought I was the only one in our area who liked to play card games, miniature games, and board games, but there are lots of folks who play. My choice is Star Trek Attack Wing, and TBS will always have my business long after this game stops making material for it. I just cant express how much of a Great Experience it has been going in to see everything, the players, and the staff. Please stop by, and take it all in, and you, the reader, will not be disappointed.
Walking in to this store is like walking into a dream come true. Games galore, every comic I could dream of, knowledgeable staff. Im new to the world of comics but the prices looked great!
I love this shop. If they dont have it theyll order it. I go for comics mostly. Plenty of manga, toys, and role playing games, etc. It is always packed with people playing table top games. They have plenty play area. Love to just browse here so much.
Cute little comic book store. Had a nice selection of comics and games, plus a few tables to sit and chill, or play some games. The employees were very nice, and its also dog friendly!! My pup was welcomed with open arms.
Great selection of comics and collectibles. Nice staff always willing to help. They will also go the extra mile to get you the comics you want if its not in stock.
I come here at least once a week to do the tournaments and it is a wonderful place to shop as well. Great service and knowledgeable staff. I have recommended this store to all of my friends looking for a local comic book store or tournament store.
I love TBS, they have a wide selection of comics, games, and collectibles. Theyre always fun to visit and its a very laid back environment. I like that they make cards accessible to sort through and sometimes I can get deals on some things. My only complaint is how disorganized their 10 cent MTG cards are but thats understandable.
Excellent place to get your geek on and find what youre looking for with one of the best selections and supplies to satisfy any nerd palate that wonders through the door. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and events for all ages and competitive levels. Lacking in online presence and supply but overall great store.
Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great selection. Glad we stopped by (twice!) while we were in town.
I love this place!Huge shop and wonderful staff.Always a good time here 😊
Staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, this store has a crazy good assortment of everything from comic books, D&D items, actuon figures, star wars stuff. Its a fun store.Bathroom is very nasty though and smelled so badly like pee.
Undoubtedly, the best comic and gaming place in the area. The staff is always awesome, helpful and friendly. Their selection is pretty extensive and they have encyclopedic knowledge about almost everything they carry (the computer system helps this out a little). All in all, one of the greatest hangouts in town.
A good local comic/card shop.
I want to preface this review by stating I only go one night a week. I mainly play boardgames, but have made some purchases as well. The staff is totally friendly and the pieces reasonable. During busier times, tables can be hard to find, and it can get noisier. But neither of these are problems, but inherent with a popular place.
Our son loves this place! Great D&D on weekends. So thankful they have all kinds of activities for teens.
First time at the shop. Great selection, friendly staff, spacious layout. Will have to come back!
Good place to find rare and new comics and collectibles. If youre into gaming, they have what you need to get started as well as on site gaming groups.
Good store. Very knowledgeable staff. I prefer a different comic store, but it is further away. They offer all kinds of tournaments and have tables that you can use to play games against your friends. They have good deals on cards too.
Good stock, comics in back issue bins well organized. Comics on shelves not very organized. Staff should be more knowledgeable. Overall good store and atmosphere
If you love comic books, graphic novels, miniatures and table top gaming, then this is your one stop shop. They have a great selection of everything you could need for your next campaign or a new addition to your collectibles.
I have been meaning to write a review for a long time. But I have been too busy enjoying my time at TBS in Pensacola. It is hard to explain, but TBS, to me, is more than just a store. That word does not do it justice. Yes, you can buy anything you want and need at TBS, and they have a ton, but TBS is an experience. Anyone who has never been there is really missing out. If you are a gamer of any sort, whether its cards, board games, clix, deck builders, living card games, miniatures, etc., you will have a blast. There is a ridiculous amount of space to game. The new location is amazing!! Everyone is a friend. The acceptance amongst fellow gamers and collectors is unlike anything you will experience anywhere else. I know first-hand. None of the other places can compare to TBS. Its not close. Its not a debate. TBS is Hulk and the rest are a little boy who uses finger paints to color himself green. To make a long review short, TBS is a destination. It is a place where you want to shop, hang out, game, meet people, and just be accepted. I cant recommend it enough. Just go. Drop the controller. Grab your keys. Go. Have fun.
Great one stop shop for cards, comics, and board games!
Good local game store. Friendly staff, decent prices and they always have events going on.
I have been using TBS comics for over 2 decades, and now I have introduced my son to the store. Back in the day as a teenager we were chasing books for AD&D 2nd edition. When you walked in the store, the employees talked to you like you were a long lost friend. Today, TBS has the EXACT same feel. Great people, great clean environment, and many different options in games and comics. If you were that kid that used to play D&D, you owe it to your children, or your adult friends to dust off the books, invite people for a character build or card game night. When you do, use TBS comics for your supplies. Just the fact that this store is still open is a testament to how wonderful it is. Speaking for the old D&D dorks, it has and always will be, a second home to us. Spread the word. If your kids are playing card games or D&D, at least you know where they are and what they are doing. Happy gaming!
Excellent service. Helpful employees. Great selection between comic books, miniature games, and card games. Friendly gaming atmosphere with space to play games. 10/10 would come back.
Great place with even better staff. They are super friendly and more than willing to geek out with you over literally anything
One of the better comic shops around. I always find good stuff here but they dont really have a lot of things most comic shops should have like Image+ magazine or more obscure selections. I like this place but I like Pop Comics better because that one is more of a comic shop instead of a mixture of comics, games, figures, etc.
Good for new comics and some variants. Some of the older comics are too high or i would buy more. I buy too keep. So i need a good deal. Rose has always been to me when she is in store. She owns store plus one in Fort Walton. Guy and girl on wedn. Morning are fantastic and helpful. Funny also.
The selection of both comics and gaming products are second to none in the area. I really like coming over to play here anytime I get the chance. Friendly and knowledgeable staff in a convenient shopping plaza.
Looking for a place that is open for new DnD games or people to play MotG, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon or any other tabletop this is the place. The staff and common customers are helpful and welcoming.
This store is one of the most wonderful places Ive ever been to, they have friendly workers, great prices, and a great place to relax and hang with other people, they also host competitions and tournaments allowing everyone to play the games they buy even if they dont have any friends in the area.This store sales board games that you cannot find anywhere else in town as well as card games, not to mention the abundant amount of comics, figures, and and game accessories you can buy as well.Also the workers are especially nice people, I dont think Ive ever been in a shop so welcoming until I came to this one and I now make sure to come to this shop as much as possible when Im in the area. Give this place a try.
TBS is the Cheers of the comic/gaming stores in Pensacola! Ive been going there for a little over 7 years now and every time I walk in Im greeted with a nickname Im been given from the players and owners of the store. There are other game places in Pensacola that are very nice as well and very friendly, but I wouldnt leave TBS to go play or purchased primarily anywhere else for anything. Ed the owner is awesome and friendly and loves the things he sells as much as you do. Its hard to find a place that cares enough to learn your name when you come around because they truly want to know you and treat you like a family. I found one in TBS. Come in and ask for Ironbrow and ill sing these praises in person. I look forward to seeing you and maybe playing you in a game or two!
I have been going to TBS Comics for years now and they have always provided a welcoming space for gamers, comic buffs, and role-playing enthusiasts to enjoy the content they love. This Comics store is a fine example of nerd culture at its finest.
Great selection of comics and collectibles, very helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommend.
This is a cool place. Good selection and cheap prices.
Dave helped me here and was very friendly. Id recommend this store to anyone looking for a great experience purchasing magic the gathering needs.
Been to TBS for a number of events. Staff is always friendly & helpful, although we dont always make a purchase. Great place to play a game!
Friendly atmosphere as well as competition if youre looking for it the staff is helpful and informative
Wonderful selection of games, comics, and more. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the products they sell. Great place.
Nice little comic store with a really nice play area for all types of card games and the like. Only qualm is the lack of tcg product, specifically Yu-Gi-Oh, but otherwise really nice and would visit again.
Always the most helpful staff and the best products
Everyone is so kind here, the kids love it!
If they dont have they can find it gove them alook even if its the first time
Easily a destination worth a weekend road trip. Great EDH/Commander scene, very spacious, and great selection.
Not enough actual comic books. More collectables, and comic related merchandise.
Great place that treats its customers right.
Great selection of comics and collectable. Great and friendly staff
This is your one stop shop for everything. They have anything you could possibly want from a wide variety of Comics (new and back issues), statues, figures, card games, board games, mini figures and Funko Pops. They hold tournaments for Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokemon. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
The place is amazing! Such a fun place, theres always games and events going on. I love this store.
I live in Mobile, but when I am fortunate enough to be in Pensacola, TBS comics is always a place I like visit. I particularly like the great selection of back issues and the 12 for $10 for the one dollars books.
Love going there
The staff is friendly and willing to help you find something even if they have to order it for you.
Great people lots of cool stuff
Much bigger store than they used to have. The staff has always been friendly and they keep an amazing stock for more games than I could ever play. All around I would suggest these guys for all your gaming meeds, or just a random visit.
Great store. Very spacious. Friendly employees and guest.
Great place for gamers and great prices for all your gaming needs!
Great place to just hang out and play. Many card tables and 8 large miniature/role-playing tables. Staff is always friendly.
Great community of commander players, accepted me and my competitive decks even though they are a more casual crowd
Phenomenal atmosphere, customers, employees.Product variety was wonderful compared to a lot of other game stores Ive been to in the region I make it a point to visit every time Im out here.
Id recommend this game store to anyone around the Pensacola area. Great customer service,Ive probably purchased over $400 worth of board games from their store and every purchase Ive made has been great one.
I wonderful place for anybody who interested in nerdy things. You can play assortment of games from smash to MTG etc even the atmosphere great workers always helpful
Really nice place with great staff and atmosphere!
Helpful staff, welcoming environment.
