This place is the best! I’m a huge vintage video gamer and this store has it all. Not only was the guy working there incredibly helpful but he knew everything we asked him and had really good tips on what to buy and not buy. We ended up leaving with wayyyyy more than expected but it was all good prices and totally worth it! Also the guy said he switches out all the old insides of games and systems with newer batteries so they last longer and work better. I am going to come back here all the time and if your into vintage video games you MUST come here!

This place is the best of its kind in the south bay. Great selection and friendly staff. People are commenting about the size of the store. Does the size of the store really matter if it has what you are looking for? The parking isn’t the best but you can always park across the street or around the corner. we all can use a little walk now and then. I am a regular here and these guys will always have my business.

Seriously, why haven’t you gone to this place out? This place is becoming a regular spot for me and I’m recommending all my gamer friends to check it out. Nat the owner is full of class and all about customer service. He takes care of you when you’re looking for something. Best retro video game store in NorCal, hands down. Check it out now, even if they don’t have the game you’re looking for, you might find something that you didn’t know you wanted! And in case you’re wondering, he gives you very fair deals on trades as well. So come through with your retro and new stuff. Just a great place to shop and oh, one tip, bring cash!

Really cool small shop! The owner is super nice and extremely fair with his pricing of trade ins. If I have any retro games I don’t want, I’m definitely coming back!

Very good selection of action figures. I especially liked the vintage video game collection that Bobby has. Not really into magic the gathering but I think that this place could be a very good starting point for those who are interested.

They’re are horrible with their open time and day. I’ve waited for about an hour after they were supposed to be open and no one came over. There wasn’t a sign posted for the reason why the weren’t open either.

These guys seem to have stock when nobody else does. They have stuff I thought I couldn’t ever find. The owner is always insanely friendly, even if a little spacey sometimes. The store is tiny and overcrowded with figures, cards, and toys. It’s cramped just from merchandise, let alone anybody who may be trying to play a game in here. They need a bigger store, but I get that makes for a lot more overhead. I wouldn’t come here for a tournament or to game with my friends, but if I’m trying to find something specific, they’re always on the list of places I call to check inventory.

This store is tiny. Like the size of my room. Let’s just get right to the point, I found this place through one of my Friend who goes here regularly(plays magic the gathering) When you walk in you’re automatically split in half. On the left is just hero click with the acception of action figures on The wall. On the right is everything else: Magic, yugioh, sleeves, more action figures, collectible figures In the display cases on your right are video games, singles, and candy. On the north wall are paper back comics. This place is tiny with a gigantic inventory. Now to the grading: Positive: 1. Friendly environment 2. Free tournaments 3. Honest owners 4. Dci sanctioned 5. Good location Negative: 1. Has to get the owners attention if you want to buy something(you make the first move) 2. Prices were found online 3. Crowded(hence tiny) 4. In the tournament the owner plays.(if he wins he doesn’t give the first place prize to the others) The prizes go: 1st.18 store credit 2nd. 8 store credit 3rd. 4 store credit But all in all a good place. I go every Friday to play now

With some distance and perspective from the excitement of opening day, I feel the need to elaborate on my experience with the shop and to premise the stores aim, to be fair. The shop caters to the collectible/“chase” toy market, offering a brick and mortar store where you might be able to find that rare pro-wrestling action figure, Lebron James vinyl statue, limited edition/comic-con exclusive collectibles, etc, etc. So, the things you might find here ARE selling at a premium because of their rarity and difficulty of acquisition. For the MSRP market, the store carries a varied stock of collectible cards ala Naruto, Magic The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, and whatnot. They also stock a decent selection of HeroClix game figures… At some point, the store will also carry and broker the sales of fine art from local talent and established comic artists… as well as some local and NOT-SO-established illustrators/artists… keep on the lookout. *ahem* With all that said, I *heart* this shop, objectivity be d@mned. =) _______________________________ And if you walk in and see action figures posed in compromising lewd suggestive positions, I didn’t have anything to do with it… maybe.
