“Time Warp used to be the greatest game store in NJ. It was cluttered but it had EVERYTHING, from indie RPGs to weird board games to minis. I used to play board games here every Friday night, and the community was amazing; it was a home away from home.

Unfortunately, the owner passed away a couple years ago and the store is very different (though the awesome and welcoming community persists). Now the store is much less cluttered and has more comfortable gaming space. But the new owner’s approach is… well they only care about CCGs. I play wargames here most weeks, and I make an effort to buy something every time I’m there because I’d like to keep the store going as a friendly place to play.

But it’s not easy. The stock of board games appears to be ever dwindling, and they flat-out don’t stock board wargames anymore. I think they sell some D&D books, but no interesting indie RPGs. The Warhammer selection is barely refreshed and not at all responsive to what people at the store play or want to play. And I swear, they haven’t restocked their paints in a year. I have to go to other stores to get even the most basic paints.

The staff is as friendly as the community, and I get it, Magic and Pokemon are cash cows. But they’re leaving (a lot of) money on the table by neglecting every other type of gaming. It’d be nice if Time Warp once again showed its regulars as much love and loyalty as they show it.”

“These guys are SO friendly and helpful, and have a ton of materials and expertise. Most of the stuff is geared towards table top gaming, but I make miniatures (dioramas, dollhouse scale objects) and they were able to answer all my technical questions about my own projects. They also have a big table with terrain in the back, ostensibly to host games. They have a lot of Tamiya, green stuff, testors, polystyrene, and citadel supplies. Easily the best hobby shop in the NYC area.”

“The experience was a pleasure from the day I walked in the store. Austin was as responsive and consultative and his father JR was a first class gentleman who took his time and gave a thorough explanation of how to care for the products we bought. I will definitely go back to this store for more and HIGHLY recommend you do as well.

Outstanding experience!!”

“Great shop to visit if you are into Funko Pops. As soon as you enter, you are surrounded by pops everywhere. Most shops just carry a million commons but Wize Guys carry a huge variety of pops from old to new. Definitely worth a visit!”

“Was in the area and looking for a few products so stopped in. Place is stocked on sports. Prices are in line with sports card stores. For harder to find stuff it’s a bit more than retail but that’s expected and fair. The guy there, possibly the owner, was friendly and super helpful. I ended up with some good stuff and an overall good experience. I’ll be back. If you need anything from baseball to Pokemon they have it and like I said, fair prices. Oh lots of hockey which is not easy to find always.”

“I needed to have photos framed and went to my local Michaels' . The woman that helped me was the same that patiently helped me two years ago with another project I needed framed. I had a lot of leg pain, and she could not have been more helpful or kind. Brought me out her stool so I could sit, and kept moving on the project. While she was measuring, another woman shopping said to me "This woman is a gem, she has helped me before." Could not agree more, wish I caught her first name, but I believe her surname is Matano? Just cannot thank her enough. Chris B.”

“Great store! I needed so much help trying to figure out MTG and the staff went above and beyond! Not only did I get a rundown of all the different packs and prices BUT she also told me about all the different playing formats. The store felt super welcoming and I can't wait to go again! Hopefully with a bit more luck when it comes to packs!”

“Michael's will always be my #1 place to go for my craft supplies. Being a member, you earn discount vouchers to spend as a reward for shopping at Michael's. The best part of using the reward vouchers is that you can use them on top of sale items which cuts the prices even more.”

“Great place for Coins , Pokemon, and sports cards. Steve is a guy with a lot of knowledge of the 3 main products he sells. I’ve never gone there for coins but that’s what the majority of his business is I would think. Myself I don’t do Pokémon but I’m big into sports cards. Steve has a huge selection of sports card singles and prices that won’t break your wallet. But my surprise came when I walked in and saw all of the wax mostly retail baseball nba and nfl. But he has boxes that are from last year as well as the most recent boxes that have hit the stores and you can’t find anywhere. Not bad prices considering where he’s located it’s almost impossible to buy sone of the boxes at that price without driving 25 miles to match his price. I almost didn’t want to write a review because i was nervous my secret would get out about Steve’s Coin shop not only having coins, that the boxes will all be gone. But im writing this because Steve and his over 30 year old shop is a diamond in the no sports cards rough. So I would recommend this shop 10/10 times and I’d travel up to a hour to get to Steve’s.Keep up the good work Steve and hide some boxes for me because if people read this I don’t think you’ll have any left!Thanks SteveAdam Crosson”
