Amazing Fantasy Books & Comics — Attraction in Frankfort

Edit: 4/1/2021 - Came in to speak about the packs and the owner was fully transparent. Showed me the shipment box and allowed me to open a sealed battle styles booster box... 100% legit, just Pokémon Co. themself rushing product and booster packs coming out very janky... Buy from AFBC, great store!

Have been buying booster packs of Pokémon cards from them for a very fair price for a month or so now and my little cousin opens them... it’s a shared bonding type of thing. I didn’t really pay much attention to the seal on the packs until I recently got my hand on factory sealed booster boxes... the packs that came in the completely sealed brand new booster boxes were wayyyy different from the seal on the packs I purchased from Amazing Fantasy. I went to do a bit of research and stumbled upon “resealed” packs. My BNIB packs were 100% legit, whereas the AF packs were ALL sealed in a really weird way and all opened as if they’d been opened before. The specific packs I purchased from them were the “loose” vivid voltage, darkness ablaze, and battle styles packs... seeing that battle styles recently came out, there is absolutely no reason all of the packs I opened had the same messed up seal as the darkness ablaze packs that were also purchased. I love Amazing Fantasy, but I would highly advise to ONLY BUY COMPLETELY SEALED Pokémon boxes/tins from them if you can. Also, the darkness ablaze packs that had green code cards were yielding V’s and even VMax’s, that was another suspicion I had from the experience... the white code card booster packs few times had no actual “hits” in them, but the green code cards did, so confusing. Once again, I love the store, but I have a feeling whomever they are getting their booster boxes from may be supplying them with...

My son loves this place for the variety of toys. It's a big place. Like all comic shops it seems, people behind the counter can run from pleasant to completely devoid of social skills. This time, guy was ok. Also like all comic shops, the merch is incredibly overpriced. Bought my son a really cool teenage mutant ninja turtles made to look like universal's creature from the black lagoon. Also walked out with a few issues. It's important to support the comic book stores. We go every week together to one of a few favorite stores we have. This one is particularly far for us but it's worth the drive. What I want for any comic shop is for my son to get caught up in the vastness of the space, the smell of the books, the variety of things to see and this place hits all that. So I would recommend it but be aware the merch is very pricey. On the plus side they have a big variety of...

Let me tell you, the people who work here are phenomenal. The culture of the store is very welcoming. Everybody is friendly.

Went there for Friday Night Magic. They play Pioneer on Fridays. From what I heard, their average turnout is around 24 people each Friday night. It starts at 7:00 p.m.. They typically do at least four rounds with the turnout. $10 entry. All the money goes back to the players. They do not pay out cash and the in-store credit that is paid out to the players cannot be used for entry into tournaments. Which is completely fine because you definitely get your money's worth.

At this point in time, the current meta at the store appears to be mid-range and aggro. With aggro primarily overtaking the player base.

Needless to say, I am definitely going to be doing my best to continue playing...
