GAME ON — Local services in Beaver Dam

Today we went to visit this place because Pokémon officially released their Scarlett & Violet expansion. Local Walmart never has any Pokémon cards in stock. Decided to give them a call and, Jason, who answered the phone said they were in stock. It was 6:30 and Google stated their business will close at 7pm. Jason stated the hours on Google hasn’t been updated since Covid but they were open until 8pm.

Arrived around 7 and asked for Jason. He had a lot of Pokémon cards, trainer boxes and other items in stock including lots of legacy video games. Pretty cool if you were a 80s/90s kid. The prices here are VERY good; better than big box stores. It was our first time there and Jason was kind enough to give our kids Pokémon promo cards, stickers and poster. These were small items but it sure made my two boys happy. Great experience! Will be coming...

I used to stop there all the time when I was a lot younger, begging my dad to be able to stop in after dinner at Ming's, I would gaze and be amazed! I finally stopped back in just last week as a grown man and father to a son of my own. We checked out old spider man comics and my son was running around looking at things, they were very kind and understanding of his energy. When I finally decided to ask a question I got all the answers I needed, even got some new info on cards I haven't set hands on in years! All in all if you are interested in the gaming and comic world whatever you're taste you'll get your eye full! Things are a little scattered but it's a literal time capsule! Everyone was friendly and talked to me without trying to push a purchase or pushing me out, that is something that stood out to me. See you again soon and hopefully on...

Decent collection of stuff, but sadly, another LGS that has succumbed to the lure of easy profit with TCG.

Place had alot of potential, for sure. But I was in town for a meeting, decided to pop in here and was very disappointed. Didn't get greeted, watched a few teenage kids handling collectables, laughing when they dropped something and damaged it.

Very disorganized. Found 2 of the same game in 2 different parts of the store, with 2 different prices. Did I mention very disorganized? But the worst part, was that the best stuff in this store, the most valuable games and worthwhile stuff, is in a glass case facing the outside. Every single label and box was sun damaged, faded, and very heartbreaking to see.

When a store no longer cares about its product, how do you think it feels about...
