Coliseum of Comics Gainesville is a friendly game store with a clean facility and a great atmosphere, often described as welcoming and having the right vibe. It provides a free space to host games and meet people, fostering a positive community. The store offers an incomparable selection of books, Funko Pop! figures, games, and cards, including a lot of obscure collectibles. It is a favorite spot for Pokémon cards, with great binders to look through and great prices, and it also has bulk Magic, Pokémon, Lorcana, and Yugioh cards available to browse in person. Pricing is generally noted as fair, and the store has a members' rewards program. However, the store is limited on comics. For Magic: The Gathering singles, pricing is inconsistent, with some cards significantly underpriced but many others overpriced compared to online market prices. The staff is noted as amazing, super helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Recent positive changes include moving gaming tables to a more inviting main area for events. A point of feedback is the desire for the store to match current online market prices for singles. Another minor critique involves the store's updated opening hours. Overall, it is a recommended and beloved local game store.
Very nice. Well stocked. Plenty of comics and games.
