Really cool comic book, board game, and nerd collectibles shop! Spoke to a gentleman behind the counter that seemed welcoming in a “the butler” from rocky horror kind of way. He told me the place has been there for 50 years! That’s pretty awesome. I hope to make my way back someday to buy the Signed Mark Hamill X-Wing.

This comic and trading card store is fantastic, largely due to its amazing staff. It was my first time there, and they were always ready to help me find what I needed. I got a great hit from a case I bought, which was awesome. It's a genuinely friendly and welcoming place for both new and experienced collectors.

I thought it was cool place. Nothing was wrong with the store and I actually really liked there selection of comics. My only problem is that me and my friend were constantly getting asked if we needed help when me and her were just looking at the comics. And the prices weren't the best. I liked the store but I'm not sure if I'll go back.

There was more great stuff than I can share here... Even a jet fighter signed by Mark Hamill

Staff are always friendly and super helpful. Have gotten some great recommendations. They work with me well on my subscriptions so long as I communicate if I'm doing a late pick up. They do offer to ship subscription items if you can't physically be there.

So many comics in stock. There is also a really nice selection of hard to find and discontinued collectors items, toys, action figures, replica models, and so much more! Many older Gi Joe, Star Wars releases from the past 2-3 decades can be found here. Other hard to find Collectibles like Marvel sculptures can be found here as well.

I can only think of great things to say about this store, it’s a bit of a drive from where I live but it’s absolutely worth it. You guys always have what I’m looking for, some amazing customer service and a treasure trove of collectibles! Did I mention the awesome hold music on the phone? Sometimes I’m tempted to tell you guys to keep me on hold so I can keep jamming 🤣 Thank you for making the place feel welcoming, as someone who has just begun to collect comics, Third Planet is my go-to now!

I bought an mtg pack from this shop and so did my sister, both packs opened in ways that suggest it wasn't sealed properly, which of course leads me to believe it was resealed. I'm not sure if it was the actual store that did this, or if it was who they bought it from. The rest of the store looked fine, but for cards I would look somewhere else to purchase from.
