| - Pure Awesome.
This is an official "Brandon's Five Star Rating". For what the store is and attempts to do, it can't be expected to do any better.
As many others have typed, you could probably spend about 3 weeks in this store and still want more.
Old comic books? Check.
Garbage Pail Kids? Check.
Transformers, He-Man figures and an original Snake Eyes complete with Uzi and satchel charge? Um...Check.
They even had a freaking ColecoVision, home to the original arcade Donkey Kong, the first appearance of Mario and Luigi, and we know how they turned out. How much did they want for this fully operational game system? SIXTY DOLLARS. I thought he was going to say $1,000. Heck...I'd almost pay that. But no, just $60.
The guys and gals that work there appear to love working there, and are helpful. I didn't make it out unscathed last time...I found GI Joe Comics issues 36 (my favorite all time) and issue 41. They now adorn my bathroom as the most awesome reading material EVER.
I'd give this place five stars even if they didn't have a glassed in display in the back, of GI Joe figures attacking a dinosaur-laden He-Man base, with He-Man obviously having the upper hand and forcing the Joes into a retreat.
Heck...He-Man wasn't even fighting. He had She-Ra bent over a picnic table.
(There's a location on Clifton Blvd too, near West 117th Street)
