Weekend Wizards — Local services in Lodi

My review for this shop. Overall this trading card has definitely cemented itself as my go to for anything trading card related. With its cleanliness, tcg stock and the attitude of the Alex, the shop owner; you will be hard pressed to find a better location. The hours of operation are reliable; closing only for select holidays. Reaching out to the store via phone call always connects you with someone helpful. Its proximity to so many different types of shops for various goods makes it easy to stop in and enjoy the time spent. It is easy to miss however as it is side by side with a few other shops and only has signage on the window and not on the building itself so watch out for it when looking. Parking is plentiful across the street as the parking in front is limited to street parking it shares with the other shops. Fora detailed overview of the shop look below at my full review. Other than minor inconveniences you will find that this shop can be a home away from home or a delightful stop when picking up stock. Pricing is not made to be gouging and you should go here for all your tcg business versus the mega corporations. The staff here will always greet you with a smile and make it easy to find what your looking for; be it for yourself or someone close to you.

Cleanliness: This shop is a very well stocked and well maintained shop. It is very clean and smells clean which is uncommon among card shops. It has a restroom which is a single room. The restroom is on the smaller size but kept clean. Stock: store is well stocked on a variety of different trading card games. Pokémon, Flesh and blood, Altered, and Lorcana. There are multiple shelves of singles and graded singles. Additionally you will find amany accessories to compliment play from dice, to sleeves and deck boxes. You won’t find much in the way of board game selection as the shops main focus is trading cards and putting on events.

Events: Over on the event side you will find multiple different card game events held throughout the week. Finding out about it is as easy as reaching out to the store owner or joining the discord group (which is very active). Every event feels professionally done while still maintaining the fun. This location also host large events for the various card games it keeps in stock.

Furnishing: Chairs are padded and without sides so you can swing in and out of them. I am on the heavy and taller side and find these chairs to be quite comfortable and stable. The tables are lightweight and there are about 6ish tables to play at. The tables are cloth covered and easy to manipulate. There is a single mini refrigerator for beverages. No hot food options due to lack of microwaves at this location. You will also find a single register by the front door. Food: This location houses the staples of most trading card shops: Candy, chips, water,energy drinks etc.

Location: You will find this Tcg shop in a quaint part of Lodi very close proximity to a pizza parlor, gym, Subway, Fosters freeze, Dollar tree, a gas station, Walgreens pharmacy and a Starbucks. Parking: limited to street parking out front however there is parking across the street just a few steps from the shop. The location is well lit outside and in enough of a public place you will feel comfortable leaving...

Weekend Wizards isn’t just a store—it’s a vibe, a hangout, and a place where you’ll always leave with a smile (and probably something awesome in your hands)....

If were going to call out bad LGS - We also need to call out the great ones. For one the shop is amazingly clean and has a very nice card room with very comfortable seating which can't be understated.

After playing a GundamTCG tournament today, owner distributed prizes (boosters and promo packs) then allowed everyone who participated to buy up to 4 more boosters AT MSRP.

When asked about normal prices, stated he has only been selling product to the players and doesn't think scalping the community for a few bucks is the right move.

I drove here Modesto for the event, and you know what - ill keep driving out here for events and product to support such a great place. I've had 3 shops in the Manteca/Modesto/Turlock areas (you know who you are) push starters and packs at 3 to 4x msrp. Yeah no.

Ill be a return...
