I cannot say enough incredible things about this place and the staff that works here. Ive been coming for at least once a week for the past 6 months. The staff has shown me kindness, friendship, and positivity. I was having a horrible day and came in and they showered me with kindness. They deserve more than 5 stars. Absolutely incredible people work here. Top notch service, top notch people.

It was my first time here as I was on vacation and I have never experienced a real card store before this day. They helped me out and gave me fair prices for a Pokémon boaster box. This couldn’t have been a better experience. Thank you so much!

Missed reviews. Sam is amazing and I had a wonderful experience. Unfortunately I made the mistake of coming when he was not there and the got ignored and glared out. Had to call another card shop and spend money there instead because of poor treatment.

Horrible service. Have to find my own card form BOXES of cards thrown in and pay above market. Workers dont even help. If i have to do that level of work to find a card, I should NEVER be paying $1 for a $.10 card.Would never played here even if it was the only local in the STATE!

This shop opens or at least re-seals pokemon card packs and is totally over priced.

This is a scalper shop ! Dont come in here expecting honesty & fair priced product... was hoping to find another good shop in the area, but was highly disappointed.10/10 would NOT reccomend to friends. The Ganing Goat on the other hand tho is amazing and sticks to MSRP !!!

Long haired guy will literally charge extra on sets for no reason at all, he is incredibly rude as well. You are better off going to samurai comics, or anywhere else in the valley!

Best card shop ever! Me and my boyfriend often come to this shop several times a week since we found it. Best and most helpful staff and a wide selection of cards we thoroughly enjoy looking at. Always a pleasure to be there i would recommend anybody who is into cards to go there.

This is an awesome Magic Card shop, much mote personable than the bigger competitor Amazing Discoveries. There is no table gaming at the moment because of Covid-19, but come in and trade cards and shop some nice singles. I do not know the name of the staff member who served me yet, but he was awesome to deal with and also plays Pioneer format.

Scalpers!! Long haired guy is rude would up charge just to cause he wanted to. don’t come just get your stuff online or anywhere else. I feel bad for for all the other nice employees who get lumped in with the guy that help me and I feel bad for all the people who go here cause it’s close to where they live.

This place used to be great and still has a good selection of funko pops but the selection is not what it once was. The worst part is this make you wait at the register while they look up prices off pop price guide even on commons seriously they used to have them priced already, sat at the register for a good 15 minutes while he checked prices on 6 funko pops. I get that prices change but there should be marked if they are older commons with a price and a set price on other commons and same with exclusive has a set price on the more common ones and has the high exclusives marked. This is just bad business will not be going back here with them doing business like this and I would no longer recommend this place to friends.

Totally overpriced pokemon cards. They upcharged a box to a little kid and kept trying to butter him up calling him buddy and stuff. Totally weirded out and walked out with nothing.

Review №20

Bought Pokémon Battle Styles Trainer Box set and have high suspicious that the store pre-opens the trading cards to get the high-value cards out as the card packs were resealed with obvious crimping. We compared packaging of the same packs bought at another store, and it’s obvious this store opens and reseals card packs.

There was not nearly enough employees to help with the amount of people in the store. There was an employee with long hair who had no desire to help anyone except some people who im assuming he personally knew since he was chatting with them as the store slowly filled up. Seemed like someone who couldnt be bothered with helping.

Great little store. Employees have always been friendly and helpful. Wish they were open when I lived across the street from where they are located.They have a pretty big variety of funko pops, lots of cards and card supplies for yugioh pokemon and magic.

Awesome store! First time in, and i was blown away. Ive been to a few game/card shops, but this guy has a phenomenal collection of MTG, yugioh, and pokemon cards. Whether you are looking for a collectible, or a specific card to add that extra SHAZAM⚡to your deck, hes got it😎

First time me and one of my buddies from highschool met up in along time. Were catching up talking about the good old days and thats when the topic of Magic the gathering came up.. next thing you know we are looking for a card/game store that we have never been to. The top caliber showed up as relatively close. So we walk in and are instantly living through that old nostalgia of the old days! The good days! The staff member Im terrible with names haha took his time and explained to us everything weve missed and the different types or formats yada yada. Point is he made the experience wonderful for us and helped us get what we wanted and to be on our way along with a bunch of food old conversation. Will definitely be going back.!

Incredibly nice staff! I was searching for one common mtg card as a gift to a loved one and he went through a lot of boxes to find the foil version for me. That really meant a lot to me! Thanks for having such kind staff.

These people are so lazy this is the third time I’ve driven here from across town and the people were to lazy to look for a card. Never again worse shop.

Review №36

Friendly staff. Super overpriced on Pops though. You’ll find some awesome pops but if you have a week to spare to wait for shipping I would never recommend buying from them. I have bought awesome gifts but always end up kicking myself because you can absolutely find them for at least $10 less online, including shipping. In a pinch they’re awesome though! Awesome collection if you are more about instant gratification or getting a last minute gift! They’re my go to for that! For my own collection on pops though, it’s way better to wait and order online

Review №37

Its a great place, I highly recommend it. If youre looking for a clean store, a well-staffed and well-lit area, good customer service and affordable pricing then this is a place for you. I recommend coming here if you need to. Wish you got a little more back for credit and cash but oh well.

This store is great. The staff is the biggest reason for my rating, they are all friendly and willing to answer your questions. They have a huge selection of pops and some really cool custom art pieces. Their magic card selection seemed a little small in my opinion but they still had a decent selection.

Great little local shop! I love going here just to see what’s new and explore all the Pops, cards, and collectibles they have. Not the biggest shop ever but tons of cool stuff

Review №44

Large collection of pops for the collectors. I will say they have a variety or pops and collectable things like pins, trading cards, plush and the have people challenging each other with their card games. The issue I would say is they need a larger building. Theyre overflowing with merchandise.

Review №45

All the POPvinyls you could ask for. Small space but fun card tournaments. I think they only have one person who makes TCG trades so that could be inconvenient but overall I enjoy the people who work here.

Amazing staff and the owner Johnny is great. Huge selection of both sealed and singles for all major tcgs. The biggest selection of pop figures in the state of Arizona and amazing custom art prints that will blow you away at an extremely affordable pricing. A must see shop.

If you like Funko POP figures, they have an amazing selection. If you are into Magic the Gathering things are a bit rough. Their card selection isnt very well organized so building a deck for tournament standard isnt a great experience. The staff is friendly.

Super friendly staff that doesnt breath down your neck qhen you just want to look at some cards. They hold tournaments here too so it is fun for even spectators. Cards are reasonably priced. Only down side is that they dont have more locations.

Review №57

Had never been here before, a friend of mine recently told me to check it out. I took about 120 Pokemon cards in with me, mostly GX and full art, with maybe 50 reverse/holo ‘playables’. Before I left home I threw a few high demand cards in to improve trade appeal.After the guy behind the counter finished helping customers ahead of me, he greeted me and I showed him a few cards, told him I was interested in trading, and he told me the % they offer, and said he’d have to get his pokemon guy to look at them. He stepped over to a table where 3-4 guys were playing a game and told someone there was a customer with some cards, could he take a look. The guys response (I’m standing 5 feet away from him btw):“Yeah, no. I saw him come in with the box, we only look at GX and EX cards, tell him we’re not interested.” - in a markedly rude fashion. So the guy behind the counter steps over and apologetically informs me they aren’t interested. That is terrible from a business and customer service standpoint. He had no idea what cards I brought w/me. He judged me based on appearance? I’m a clean cut, regular looking dude. I could have been someone that had no idea what he had, I could have been any number of things.I was willing to take a 25-50% hit on a trade if they had a few cards I wanted. Now I’ll just do business elsewhere.

Very friendly staff and worth the 1hr drive. I play Final Fantasy TCG and this was my first opus pre release event. I got to meet a bunch of other players and I had a great experience learning from them. It was so awesome to see such camaraderie I felt at home. The staff did a great job hosting this event. Thank You TCG and to the new folks I met!

Its a nice little shop with a great variety in the limited products they carry, such as pop figures and cards. Prices were inconsistent however, and I felt cheated when customers buying the same products as I, got better deals.

If youre looking for a physical shop full of Funko Pops, especially uncommon or rare ones, this is a good place. Theres also a fair selection of trading cards and related play gear (card sleeves, playmats). I would say that common Funko pops are a little expensive to buy individually but they do have a good 3 for $30 deal (as of this writing), which makes up for it somewhat.

Review №77

As someone who enjoys TCGs, I can say this store offers the best in terms of prices, selection, and culture. The environment is non toxic, unlike many other tournament stores. The staff is incredibly knowledgable and always willing to help. The pricing is incredibly fair and they have a massive collection. If you have collectables or cards youre looking to get rid of, they offer a great rate when it comes to buying product from customers.I live all the way in Glendale, but I will continue to make the trip just to support this store. If youre looking for a new OTS, this is the place for you .

Review №78

My friends and I visit this establishment quite often and the experience is always wonderful. The staff and owners are very knowledgable in the games we play, making purchasing and trade-ins an easy transaction. While this store is primarily a card shop, the store offers Pop collectors a way to hunt for their missing figures as it boasts more than a few shelves of them. A separate space in the store offers tourament tables in case players want to flex their decks. Tournaments regularly scheduled.Whether you want cards, game/anime collectables, or deck playing supplies, TCG has got you covered.
