Buyer Beware — Serious Collectors Take Note

I came to this location to purchase a sealed $245 box of Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy cards. I’d visited multiple stores trying to track one down, so finding it here was exciting.

Unfortunately, just before I finalized the purchase, the last available box was dropped by an employee. No apology or offer to remedy the damage was made. I chose not to press the issue on-site, but I did reach out afterward hoping to speak with a manager or owner. The person who responded never identified themselves, only mentioning they were currently at a music festival—leaving me with little resolution.

From a collector’s standpoint, damaging a high-value item like this and not addressing it properly is frustrating. Imagine test-driving your dream car and the dealership dings the door right before the sale—you’d expect them to make that right.

That said, the store itself is pretty cool. They’ve got a nice selection, and I’d recommend reading their policies carefully so you know where things stand if something unexpected happens. Hopefully, Wizards of the Coast will be able to assist in some way regarding the damaged product.

Collectors, proceed with caution when condition is important. Read all store rules.

Owner is responsible and will communicate. I wish...

The Gamers Lair is truly a one-of-a-kind venue! It’s a laid-back spot packed with everything a gaming enthusiast could dream of—pinball, pool, gaming setups, and even private rooms for custom-tailored gaming nights. The owner is incredibly down-to-earth and even crafts made-to-order dragons on-site, which adds such a unique touch. The retail store perfectly complements the venue, offering a huge variety of games and fun collectibles to satisfy any gamer’s needs. I always look forward to bringing my kids here to share how much fun this place...

Wandered in to see what it's all about. Owner actually seemed happy to be there, knowledgeable about what he was doing, and willing to look up something if I had a question and didn't know off the top of his head. I actually kept him a little too distracted from a party he was preparing to host.

I'll be back. Would love to see how games are held for Wednesday night DnD and Thursday night Magic:...
