“Great experience i had sets to return and wanted another set. I was able to call ahead and have them hold the set I wanted...easy doing the return. Clarissa the manager was awesome.”
“I have been going here for about a year for Magic the Gathering pre-release events. It is a very clean and organized store. The events are always run well and the staff is incredibly friendly. Fantastic store!”

“Mike was so welcoming. As first timers, my boyfriend and I were a little apprehensive on how to begin our journey in Warhammer. Mike explained paint types and techniques to get us through our paint & take session. Great store!”
“Sold some coins. Very normal and quick process , minimum paperwork, in and out in 5 American minutes; and prices they gave are quite normal as well. I have been into metals long before most of you who are buying gold bars in Costco these days. I bought and sold, from and to brick and mortar stores. Costa's is fine, perfectly fine. Hopefully will do more business in the future. And if you think dealing with online folks like Apmex or JM or Provident better in terms of prices, good luck. Buying won't be cheaper unless you buy large quantities. Then trying to sell to them, whole different matter and pain in terms of logistics and prices too. Price per ounce, sure ?. Any dealer has to have a larger spread then simple bid and ask for spot price.”
“I am so glad I finally found this place! It is getting harder to find a shop that will actually refill a 5lb CO2 tank on-site rather than just forcing a swap, so this was a huge win. The gentleman who helped me was great, and I was honestly impressed by the variety and quality of inventory they have in stock. It’s clear why they’ve been a staple in the area for over a decade. Highly recommend stopping in if you want to support a great local business with solid expertise. I’ll definitely be back!”
“They paid the highest for my silver coins out of 10 different shops that I had called. Very friendly family owned business. Very nice and informative on the phone and in-person. I would 100% recommend this business and will definitely be back.”
“The owner Charlie has an in depth knowledge of the comic book industry. Truly only a few of many authentic comic book stores out there and Dreamland delivers. Came in to trade some old comics and came out with a vintage Pokemon card. Great environment. Thank you”
“Very eclectic collection at this location. I came in for whiskey glasses and candles, and I was able to find it. Im sure whatever knickknacks or trinkets you need are here. The only reason I can't give a five-star is the lack of signage for the ailes. It is difficult to find what you need in here because of it.”

“The store is not close to me, but it has always been worth the extra time to make it out here. Chris, the manager, is mentioned in several of these reviews, and for good reason. He makes the atmosphere comforting that anyone, new or old, feels appreciated when they walk through the door.”
“The place is super clean and organized. Was looking for a frame but unfortunately even the plastic ones are around 40$ and up. But the customer service was great. Thank you”
“My husband took my son here, they both loved it. My son is 10 and he said it was the coolest card shop he's ever been in. Also said everyone was super nice. We will definitely be back. ?”
“My son and I bought his first model last week. The type you break off and glue together, piece by piece. Super excited to start it. We downloaded a 20% off coupon in store and saved about $5.”
“I mostly go here for the albums but I cant really find the ones Im looking for. I was wondering if there is Baekhyun or Ciel. Also it’s really hot there, like sweaty hot.”
“The birthday party here was really fun. We had a group of 7/8 year olds and they all had a blast with the tie-dye and making the bracelets. The only suggestion I would make is maybe for the Michael’s party lead to demonstrate how to wrap the shirts first, and maybe a quick demonstration for exactly how much to the soak the shirts with the dye. Thankfully I have done tie dye before and knew to spiral the shirts for that pattern. We would do a party here again and recommend for a fun time and easy clean up!”
“Cool little spot. Took my 6 year old boy for 30 minutes and he loved it. They charge $5/15 minutes of racing and have better deals if you own your own car. Staff was friendly, helpful, and didn’t mind answering all my weird questions on the hobby.”
“My family and I went to buy some loose Pokemon cards that my sons were interested in. The cards that they wanted were very random and consisted of Pokemon using all different energies as well as Trainers. The owner Jester was there and he was extremely helpful, helping us find over 30 of the cards that they were looking through by going through binders and loose cards in a box, which was extremely tedious. We've been to many Gamers Worlds where the employees running the store seem like they couldn't care less about their customers. We were fortunate to have the exact opposite experience here and want to thank Jester so much for his kindness and patience!”
“Enough fun stuff to make it worth the effort. A bit far for me but if you’re in the area, stop in and make a deal or two. Nice selection and a layout in the back. Rc. trains and seenics”
