Dont attempt to haggle. Keep this store alive. 30 yr old dreams & this place is what makes it not a nightmare. Organized, fun, knowledgeable, pressure-free enviroment; practical prices so special i could cry leaving shop bc I never thought id get to have several dreams conclude. Prayed in the 90s that id find these exact Power Rangers too haha 😄 11/10 ☆

Friendly staff. Tons of back issues. Good collection of monthly titles and graphic novels. DVD lovers they have a bunch of old school movies to add to your collection. Some GI Joe, He-Man, and Star Wars collectibles. Not modern figures, good old school 70s 80s and 90s. Staff was very friendly and pointed out someone had broken an item I was looking to buy and they said they wouldn't sell it to me without changing the price lower since the part wasnt broken when they priced it. I found that really honorable. Nice guys. Will definitely go back.

this is one of my very favorite place to visit while in East Peoria IL. it brings me back to when I was a kid and hanging in comic stores. it has a older comic smell to the place and there is a plethora of vintage and new comics and toys to choose from. Bob and his crew rock the house

Great friendly staff that are very knowledgeable. The owner, Bob does his best to take care of everyone's request. His store is a main stay in Peoria for around 40 years that I know of.
