Odyssey Games — Local services in Oshtemo Charter Township

PROS: They greet you when you walk in most the time. They have a great and wide selection of magic card, card protectors, pokemon singles and sun & moon era booster boxes, box sets, single packs, etc. They also have a lot of events for pokemon and magic if thats your thing. They clearly label if their cards are lightly played, etc. The prices vary from average for area to a lil on the pricey side. CONS... if your more a collector than player and condition is important to you don't say what looking for or anything while your there for lack of better words. One the associates there will not be happy if your definition of good condition is different than theirs (*note: most their cards are in very good or better condition). Cuz if you do say something or you look over cards/items/etc they come off as taking it personal n somewhat offended and kinda give you a look every time you go there which can make some ppl feel uncomfortable. We went to Odyssey Games for the 1st time in months after past experiences. Still got the look from the one associate and felt a lil uncomfortable cuz of that while there but did find some good cards so was happy with purchase, we were still greeted when walked in and they still carry a good selection that is displayed very well. Would we recommend this place? To ppl who like to attend events for magic, pokemon, etc...yes. If your more a collector and amount you'd spend varies...we'd be a lil hesitant but would still tell ppl that wanna support local over national chains etc that after a few other places in southwest Michigan to check out odyssey games...

The store here is set up so you don't bother the employees unless you're ready to hand them money.

Just like several other Local Reviewers have mentioned.

Want to look at singles?

Pull out your phone and visit their website.

Sorry have a question? Wait till they get done eating their Taco Bell behind the counter first.

Need to get checked out? Wait till the employee is done awkwardly staring at the female customer in leggings.

This place exists because there is no competition on that side of town.

They will try to rip you off when handing in singles for store credit too.

"Yeah this is a bulk card."

It's a promo card worth $5 right now on TCG

"Well eventually when everyone buys that $50 ETB, it wont be and it'll be worth less. Best I can do is 10 cents."

Place is a joke, you might as well just order off of TCGplayer or Amazon.

The people here don't understand the whole reason to go into the store is to touch the cards with your hands. They're PHYSICAL cards.

The CO-Store owner (the one with no business experience or financial experience) thinks it's appropriate for employees to have a mental breakdown at kids touching $1...

Man. I have been in this store a few times at this point over the past 2 years and every time I've gone in the store, I have a bad experience.

The first time was when I was first getting into table top games and was interested in getting some specific glue that I had heard was good. I asked one of the employees and was told "Pffft why would you use that kind?" and then was told it was "over there somewhere".

The second I was looking to purchase a wet pallet for painting. They had none on the floor so I asked if they had any in stock. An employee who I was not working with chimed into the conversation with "Oh yeah, I just bought the last one a little bit ago".

The third time I was looking for a Warhammer set and proceeded to be stared at by the employees the entire time as if I was doing something wrong. They said nothing to me and made no attempt to be friendly or polite. The prices sucked too.

Honestly, I have attempted to enjoy this store, but I don't think I'm ever going to go back. Fanfare is just such a better vibe and if I drive to Grand Rapids to the GW store I can at least get a free...
