Lakewood Forest Center — Local services in Houston

This is a small strip mall in North Houston nestled between Cypress and tumble. They have eateries, shopping, comic bookstore, a gym a post office. I mean, literally everything you need in one spot. Highlights that I recommend here are Dragons Lair which is an amazing little comic book shop that has private rooms to play games like DND or other role-playing and card games. They host a really fun Pokémon night as well as group discovery of New games that are coming out where the actual creator of the game can give out free samples, card decks specialty cards etc. to users in a big group play of the game. I feel like I’m not exactly describing that as well as I should, but I’m sure you get the point. There’s also a really great record shop there where you can get vintage vinyl as well as brand new release releases and they always have something free at the front door so don’t forget to ask about your free with purchase things you can grab. The Comic store also offers free comics if you ask them. Planet fitness is just opened up a new location in the shopping center. I haven’t been there, but I’m looking forward to trying it out. There’s a tanning salon a Dominos pizza a little postal place where you can ship things or rent a mailbox from a McDonald’s at KFC and some new fusion place that I haven’t tried yet but I’m looking forward to it. It’s got character. Feel free to ask me any questions about this place. I drive through there often and always find something to do in the area. I dropped my son off for Pokémon nights over there and walk around exploring while he’s in there playing. They have a tavern inside of the comic book shop, which is really cool and I highly recommend checking it out plus, if you’re into doing Instagram pics, they’ve got a lot of neat background stuff there to take...

All in all they were very rude, unhelpful and discouraging when I was trying to sell some of my pokémon cards that are worth a substantial amount of money,"thousands to be exact". It took them at least 20 minutes to even acknowledge my presence in the place and then told me that I had to leave my valuable inventory with them for an undisclosed time. Here's the kicker. They couldn't tell me how long it would take but had a disclosure that noted if you do not pick up your property and more than 30 days it becomes ours. Not to mention, they said their offer would only be 40% of their estimated value. So I will never be returning to dragon lair comics. And I hope that others read this and...

Super clean store! Great for gaming and comics! They have a great selection of new comics. The only thing I was really missing was vintage collectibles. The back issues were a little hard to navigate, as they didn't seem to be consistently filed in alphabetical order, so finding what you are looking for might be akin to a treasure hunt of sorts. Really nice folks that run the place and they had lots of people at their gaming tables, which was really nice to see. Also, the location is very accessible, so easy in and out. Overall, was impressed...
