Comics inventory being sold @ this store is the reason for the two star review. Here's why...

As a collector of thousands of comics that is vividly aware of going prices in the market I was pretty upset to see my last visit became my last.

Current Comics: The owner is marking up the prices by $1 on current comics that have a cover value of $3.99 to 4.99 so you're paying 4.99 to 5.99.

Back Issues: The only "bargain" you'll get @ this store is from comics that are from failed runs that meant nothing with a combination of them also being low grade. Those will be .99 - 1.99 but beware those are few.

Comics that are mediocre: If you're looking for comics that are "ok" in terms of which issues "stood" out those are overpriced too. I'm not talking about "key issues". It's the issues that did "ok" during a run that was pretty good. We're talking about $30.00 ea and those aren't even popular variants but rather regular covers.

The conclusion: He's pricing based upon the huge hit that local comic book stores took during the pandemic BUT the main focus and source of sales for his store is from Funko collectables and toys.

and that brings me to why I would've hit the store with a 1 star review solely based upon it's comics inventory.Though I didn't because I've been going there for quite some time and I don't like being negative towards ANYTHING related to comics.

The thing is that these type of reviews are necessary as they allow the owners of LCS to know what they are doing wrong. Another thing worth noting, if you're making most of your sales off of Funko and Toys then don't further more alienate the aspect of your inventory that isn't performing well by marking them up to prices only amateurs or noobs would pay. Those aren't your recurring customers for comics, those eventually fall off after the infatuation fades.

Hopefully things improve because ebay, Midtown Comics, MMComics and DCBS still are the best options for...

This store is absolutely amazing! It’s fairly new and has been open for 2 months as of this review. As soon as you’re about to walk into the store, you’ll notice there is an upstairs and a downstairs. The upstairs was not accessible durning my trip due to renovations and prep of bringing in new supplies however, I already know from my visit it is going to be worth the wait. The store has just about everything you’d expect to see and more such as Funko merchandise, different Japanese toys, statues of comic characters such as the Spider-Man seen in the photo, two arcade machines (although this my increase over time), and, of course, a great selection of comic books! The prices of some items are extremely reasonable and as I’ve seen beat some other competitors with their pricing which is a plus in my book.

I was told the upstairs will be dedicated to different toys and merchandise while the lower level will be for comics and the such. The store does accept trade ins for items like comics and Funko Pops but you would need to bring them in for evaluation and condition checks which they would then offer either cash or in-store credit. Finally, the best thing about this store is the fact that they attend different Cons like Supercon, MegaCon, and the best Con of them all, San Diego Comic Con to bring back merchandise from there to sell at their store for VERY reasonable prices. Overall, the employees are great and will help you with whatever you need. Check them out and enjoy the atmosphere...

KnoWhere Toys, Comics & Gaming is a great place to visit if you're a fan of comics, toys, and collectibles. The store has a wide selection of items to choose from, including a huge variety of Funko Pops. I always enjoy browsing their selection and hoping to find a new addition to my collection.

However, there are a few things that I think could be improved. One issue I've noticed is that during their "Funko Pop sale" events, they actually increase the prices of some items instead of offering a discount. For example, I found a Funko Pop that I wanted to buy for a friend, but when I returned on the sale day, I found out that the price had gone up instead of down. While I still purchased the item because it was for my friend's birthday, I think this is a bit misleading and can be frustrating for customers.

Another thing I wish KnoWhere Toys, Comics & Gaming had was a trade-in program or a way to sell items to them. Currently, the only way to sell or trade your items is to message the main person on Instagram, which can be a bit inconvenient. It would be great if they could offer a more streamlined process for buying and selling items.

Overall, KnoWhere Toys, Comics & Gaming is a great place with a lot of cool stuff to check out. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the selection is impressive. While there are a few things that could be improved, I still enjoy visiting this store and would recommend it to anyone looking for comics, toys, or...
