Heroes and Games — Local services in Columbus

Reviews here seem mixed, but I'll share my experience. We went in yesterday evening to check if they had any heroclix. We looked around and they had a pretty good selection of boardgames, a massive selection of comics, and a small wall of heroclix. No complaints.

The two men working didn't aknowledge us when we walked in, which kind of threw us for a loop. They were talking about soccer and drinking I believe. We got to the heroclix area and it's behind a small glass counter with some of the more expensive, rare heroclix in the counter itself. Looked at those ones for a minute, then wanted to look at the ones we could actually afford and justify buying. Behind this counter was just a shelf of 10-20 different packs of heroclix. There was also some clutter so it didn't seem like a sales station or a restricted area. Naturally, we were looking at them. Still no aknowledgement from the staff. Kind of felt awkward like we weren't welcomed. Until finally, one guy aknowledges us with a "uh guys, whatcha doing back there?". I replied we were looking at the heroclix to which he tells us we're not allowed back there.... Ok. It made me and my friend very uncomfortable. We were both clearly in plain site just looking at the characters.

Now if there were rules clearly stated not to pass a line or a worker was standing there actually doing his job and helping us see these things, I would understand. But their conversation was more important than helping what would have been paying customers. Personally I don't plan on stopping here again. Big Fun on High has comic books and the staff is much better, and the Soldiery and the Guard Tower are both much better in terms of boardgame and tabletop collections. Plus, both establishments seem to aknowledge...

I tried to sell some Pokemon stuff and called ahead of time to tell the person who work there what I had. She was very short on the phone and told me just to come down there that they have to look at it. I went down there and and she told me that she wasn't interested in those items much for the same ones I explained on the phone and I had. This was a wasted trip and a waste of my time and . The place is downtown Columbus r in the convention center. It is a very hard place to find a place to park. You eventually have to pay for parking so I lost there also. I did notice that the place was very neat and organized and had a good selection very popular items. It was bright and appealing and shopping is fun. . The girl I spoke to their was very prim and proper. No smiles there. I'm sure she thought I was a lower class citizen because I was trying to sell something. If I looked like a wealthy patron she would have been...

Heroes & Games, inside the Columbus Convention Center, is a gem for comics, tabletop games, trading cards, and collectibles. Parking is easiest in the garage by the Drury Plaza Hotel—take the elevator down and you’ll find it tucked near a seating area.

They keep a strong selection of current comics, plus gold, silver, and bronze-age issues in great condition. I am now the owner of one of my personal holy grails—The Avengers #16 (1963)! 🦸‍♂️💥 Owning this slice of comic book history is a dream come true, and the condition is absolutely stellar!

Prices are fair—current comics sell at cover price, and even variants or limited editions are discounted. While graded items are rare, the owner has some hidden gems if you ask located throughout the store and racks.

It’s a smaller shop, but well-stocked and constantly rotating inventory. I’ll definitely be back to hunt more classic comics and...
