I'm not one to usually do reviews but seeing as this'll be my first one, I'm glad & honored to have it done on a Comics & Collectibles shop that I've grown up with ever since I was a little kid.
It broke my heart to hear about the old location being flooded on Christmas day & was difficult to play the waiting game for the new location to open (that statement about waiting is a joke just to clarify), however, I honestly can say without a shadow of a doubt that the wait was definitely worth it!
The new location is amazing & filled to the brim with an awesome inventory of comics & collectibles I haven't seen in a long time & also has some amazing framed posters & painted canvases that makes entering the store pop & an immediate eye catcher.
The second I walked in, I was immediately greeted by the owner (shoutout to Jason & his wife) & a nice gentleman at the register. The second I walked in & was greeted by them I was treated with nothing but kindness by them & could see the excitement that they had for the store & could hear throughout the conversation I had with them the humbleness that they had for everyone showing their support throughout the trials & tribulations that they endured.
To see & hear the pure joy that they had throughout the relaunch was something I've never seen before & it was something that I can't describe... it was truly something magical.
I'm beyond blown away with the amount of stock that they have & with how balanced the pricing was. The pricing was way better than a lot of other comic shops in the area (& that also goes for the collectibles too) & is especially miles better than what you'll see from Amazon or Ebay etc especially with all of the scalpers/resellers that are overcharging on those sites.
Not only is the pricing perfectly fine, but, comparing Dimension X to those previously mentioned platforms, with those platforms you don't get to see the item in person so that you can see the quality/condition of the item & because of that you're taking a huge gamble on ordering something online just to have it damaged when it's delivered or worse.
Whereas with Dimension X Comics, you don't have to ever worry about that because they make sure that whatever it is you're looking for &/or getting is in the best condition possible & are willing to work with & help you no matter what. To continue on pricing, they have constant deals & epic sales that they run so that you (the consumer) can get some dope stuff for a banger of a deal & for an amazing price & so it saves you a ton of money.
(This portion is for those who are petty &/or are known as KARENS - You know who you are ------) So if you're that one person who is blinded by ignorance & doesn't like the location because it "doesn't meet your standards" or "the new store is super cramped" & you complain about the prices of the comics or collectibles (but yet don't complain about scalpers selling the same thing for 5 to 10 times the MSRP price) then idk what to tell you except for there's the door & don't let it hit you on the way out!
Other than venting about the KAREN'S that like to look for trouble for no reason (which I apologize for if it offends the owner), I'm extremely glad & grateful to have Dimension X Comics & Collectibles back in the game & open for business!
If I could rate this iconic business a 10 out of 10 stars or 1000% put of 100% I would in a heartbeat with no hesitation - but I will give for this review of Dimension X Comics & Collectibles an easily deserved 5 out 5 stars!
It's amazing to have this business back in operation & I cannot stress enough that I'd highly recommend you go to the new location & to do some exquisite business with them!
I look foward to doing more business with this store & look foward to many more successful...
Read moreI will lead with the bad first because it's very important. THIS STORE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF IT'S CUSTOMERS. They drastically overcharge for many types of merchandise. There are toys and figures where the price sticker is placed over the bar code, not because they don't have scanners. It's there to cover up the retail price. I noticed this tactic on some imported Japanese toys. The sticker said $100 and anyone can order these through another local comic shop and pay $20 less. Now, I'm not real big into figures but I went to pick up a brand new comic the day it came out and there was a sticker on the bag that said $10. The cover price was $4. It was a variant, but not a retail inventive variant. Just a B cover, that any shop can order any number of, no limits, no requirements. So this shop paid AT MOST $3 for this book (shops get larger discounts for larger orders) and put a $10 sticker on it. I approached the man working the store and said, "This book just came out today, it has a cover price of $4, why isn't it $4?" The man replied, "It's a variant. Variants are more." So I said, "It's a regular variant, not an incentive, it didn't cost more." He replied more sternly, "Variants are more." They just wanted to charge more, and were hoping their customer base is ignorant. I set the book on the counter and walked out. I will never visit this store again and I cannot recommend strongly enough that you don't either. Most of my reviews are shorter than this but I've been an avid comic reader for decades and this shop BREAKS MY HEART. I'd expect to pay more at a convention for something that's been out a month or more and I missed it, but marking up products 250% the day they come out is reprehensible.
I visited most every other shop between Mechanicsburg and Lebanon PA. Take your money to any shop but this one. If you MUST visit this shop, know what your buying and it's value. The back issues were all slightly above actual value as well.
Man behind the register was bagging and boarding and greeted me when I came in. The man who works in the back (and I suspect is the owner, maybe not) said nothing and when approached gave bare minimum answers without looking up from what he was doing.
The good? Large variety of toys Large variety of figures Medium selection of comics Decent amount...
Read moreI have been a customer of Dimension X Comics, Toys & Collectibles since November 2016. Over the years I have been a customer of many different comic shops, but this store ranks #1. The owner Jason and all of his employees share 2 things that make a business like this the one that not only I stay loyal to, but that you need to become another person in a long and growing list of loyal customers. First it is a customer centric focus. They are not only attentive but if they do not have what you are looking for they will order it or if an older collectible and or comic book find it. I experienced this myself. Jason personally has gone out of his way at comic con after comic con all over the country finding me back issues off of my wish list. This leads me into number 2, passion. What not only Jason but everyone that works at his shop has is a passion for this thing we love, our corner of nerd culture and hobby. They are not only knowledgeable but want to help you find your next favourite comic book, exclusive dunno pop (always at the best prices I might add), action figure, art book, statue or anything else you are looking for as well. They care because they love all of this too. This store feels like a nerdy family and is really getting its legs as it grows and is building a community of us around it. If you have not checked them out you NEED TO NOW!!! They brought me back to something I loved and brought me joy from my childhood, so whether you are returning to the hobby or just starting this is the...
