“There are not enough W's in the world to describe how awesome this store is.
First off, it's by far the cleanest BAM I've ever visited. No clutter whatsoever. Everything is displayed nicely and there is a lot of open space to walk through the store.
There is a very nice waiting area for the wives / girlfriends to relax and enough a complimentary coffee from the Keurig.
The staff is very friendly and promptly greeted me when I walked in and checked on me multiple times to see if I needed help finding anything.
They have a great selection from pre-built to NIB. I got a killer deal on a sealed Death Star GWP that was on sale for $120 and a very minty pre-built Luke's Landspeeder.
I highly recommend going to BAM St. Pete to all your Lego needs. Also, check out their amazing streams on Whatnot to score deals from afar by following their account @bamstpete and bookmarking their shows. ?”

“Retro Rat is a hidden gem for anyone into collectibles and nostalgia. The shop has an awesome mix of wrestling figures, comic books, VHS tapes, Pokémon cards, video games, and all kinds of unique collectibles that you don’t see everywhere anymore. Every time you walk in, there’s something new to look at.
The owners are also some of the nicest people you’ll meet. They’re welcoming from the second you walk through the door and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. They know so much about the collectibles they carry and are always happy to answer questions, talk collecting, or help you track down something cool.”

“The staff at Emerald City is the best there is!! They were very attentive to helping me find very specific material in the store and helped me find exactly what I wanted. Everything is reasonably priced and the selection of material from Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Godzilla and on is extensive! You want the BEST comic book store, go to Emerald City comics!!!!”
“Critical Hit Games is an absolute gem for any gamer or hobbyist! Every time I walk in, I’m greeted with a friendly, positive attitude from the staff. They’re incredibly knowledgeable, whether you’re into board games, miniatures, card games, or RPGs, and always willing to offer recommendations or help answer questions. What really makes this place stand out is the welcoming community they’ve built – you’ll find people from all sorts of gaming backgrounds coming together to enjoy their hobbies. Critical Hit Games is more than a shop; it’s a hub for a great community that keeps me coming back!”
“Found this store today had the absolute best experience! Found several high quality items for a very affordable price. Isa was SO helpful in finding what we needed and helping us figure out how certain items worked/broke down/were put together. We will definitely be coming back!❣️”
“A tiny comic store that's tucked into a strip plaza. However, it's absolutely PACKED with back issues as well as collectibles and vintage action figures. There was a particularly impressive selection of loose but packaged Star Wars figures of all eras. Also I was able to browse a few pieces from both Boss Fight Studios and HIYA Toys as well.A very nice find while on a work trip.”

“My favorite shop in the area, actually is somewhat of an equivalent to a store in akiba. Instead of having all the battle shounen bullshit slop, they actually have merchandise for anime that's actually worth buying. Support your local business and shop here, especially if you're tired of the same old landfill deserving shounen figure slop and want something from a better series”
“Great deals. Lots of stuff to find. I got an 8 x 10 wool rug for $50 that is steel. It's like a discount Walmart, Home Depot, and Big Lots all in one. Plan on a long walk, it's a big place, and at least a couple of hours.”
“After my first visit was less than ideal, I returned and met with Beau, a knowledgeable and friendly employee. If he is not already management, he needs a promotion. He is adept at problem management and overtly familiar with the store SOPs. As for customer service, I highly recommend anyone wanting to discuss the store's inventory/subject matter, go to this GameStop. I spent an hour in the store and Beau kept the customers moving while assisting me at the other counter. My final purchase was less than $50 but it didn't matter to Beau. I was a customer that needed help. That is what great customer service is made of.
There were a lot of trading cards available and collectibles on sale, in addition the gaming consoles and software. Definitely stop in for gifts and for yourself. Most people will find something they want.”
“I have used their services for a while now. The owner is very professional and accommodating. He understands and values the TCG community. Prices are very reasonable and on par with the market. I have never been disappointed purchasing from them and they deliver as well. No regrets at all. Thank you!”
