I go here for my gunpla needs. They have multiple activities and have very inclusive events. The staff is knowledgeable and personable and fun to talk to. I'd recommend to any fellow gunpla fans to show up the first Saturdays where they have trade on to get first dibs on people's backlogged kits getting traded in before they hit the shelves and disappear as the month goes on as they tend to go fast.
They also have a very interesting collection of games and consoles from generations of the past worth a gander at and they do repairs. I've never needed the service but they offer it and I'm not sure of another place in town that offers that.
There's a discord group as well that the staff is prompt at responding to if you ever have questions for the store or want to be connected into the community of various TCGs or gunpla related people in the area.
They've also got really cute plushies, guide books, knick-knacks and snacks from Japan as a cherry on top of all the other things I've mentioned.
If there's a con at the convention center across the street from here and you've somehow read this far into my review because you're at one then you NEED to come check this place out!
I'm incredibly biased but I think this is the best place in town. Specifically for gunpla but it's a vibe all around. Come...
Read moreMy son and I visited today hoping to buy some magic cards and a video game. While the video game section staff seemed friendly, our experience in the card area was disappointing.
I used to frequent their old location and always enjoyed the cheerful, knowledgeable staff. However, the woman at the card counter today was the opposite – cold and unhelpful. I felt like I was bothering her with my questions. It took several follow-ups before she informed me that if I'm looking for a singles I'm going to need to look through the binder. Honestly, I decided not to buy anything before she passed me the binder. I politely pretended to browse the binder like I was interested in something before saying darn nothing here I need and my son and I left. I likely won't be returning for card singles.
I would highly recommend guardian games which is not too far from this location South or Portland game store which is North. If you're looking for cards, the people in both of those locations are far more friendly and don't act like you are interrupting something...
Read morei love this place so much 😭 i would rate infinity stars if i could. my only regret is not learning about it sooner. i sold some games because i had to move & was downsizing my collection. my games sold for a lot more than i was expecting and they had great options for credit vs cash!! so i was very pleased. the entire transaction was fairly simple which i appreciated. the people working there also were super friendly!! and the store itself was AMAZING. i was so amazed at all of the cool stuff they had on display as well as some great arcade games that were there for customers to play on. i chose to take cash over credit for my games but couldn’t leave without purchasing an epic little morgana plushie (pic attached!) i’d love to support & spend more here so i can’t wait until they are able to ship items out of portland :)) very happy this place exists as it seems like not only a great space for gamers but also a safe and fun space for the lgbtq community as well. and i hope it stays...
