| - Absolutely amazing. I don't even know where to start when talking about this place.
I am from Philly and was on trip down to Charlotte last week. Prior to that I had done my research into some comic book shops in the location (of course, the main store I kept hearing about was Heroes Aren't Hard to Find)... this store blew every other store I went to clear out of the water.
The feeling of approaching the underground dwelling place of this store was almost enough, alone, to make this the best excursion of my vacation.
Everything about being near and in this place is EPIC. I was aware that this place had an incredible assortment of vintage toys, but I was shocked to find how much my expectations were exceeded.
I will get back to the toys in a moment. The comic book collection was enough to put many modern comic book shops to shame, and yet it hardly felt like a comic book store at all. The comics were just an appetizer, and addition to the real meat of the store. There were, of course, MtG cards for sale, as well as a variety of other TCGs (Yu Gi Oh, Pokemon, etc) and a good assortment of modern toys and games.... but I almost cried when I saw an entire quarter of a wall covered in Batman toys that I played with in my childhood.
THIS STORE IS AN EXPERIENCE.
I could have spent years in here picking things out, but I only had enough for a few MtG boosters, a 90s Ben Grimm Toy for a friend, and an Orochimaru figurine for myself. Living so far away from Charlotte makes it feel, almost, painful that I've ever been to this store at all. I must go back some day.
