    Wonderfully kind staff who have clearly built a strong community-- but the pokemon pricing is out of whack. I'd be prepared to price your own cards and haggle for a price that better reflects the market price. I was charged at least double. But again, SUCH kind folks!

    Awesome owners that have been in the business for at least 30 years of my knowledge. They have been able to keep up even after COVID had affected so many small businesses. The owners are just such amazing people. There is plenty of parking, the selection that they carry is amazing from pokémon, MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh, and even some of the other collector items. Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments Saturday and Sunday at 1:00 p.m. Magic the Gathering tournaments Fridays at 6:30pm

    Stopped here this afternoon for my boyfriend to get some Magic cards... we spent more than we planned 🤣 they have a great selection and the prices are pretty decent. I don't know why someone recently said they were inflated, but they seemed fine to me! The workers there were very friendly and we ended up spending about two hours in there. We also got a super cool One Piece Monopoly!

    Have been to tgis shop a several of times over the past 15 years but the prices are getting ridiculous. Charging $280 for a booster bundle that has 18 packs... but sells loose packs at 8$ each which is still double but that puts the bundle @ nearly 16$ a pack. Thats 4x the msrp and even 2x the market price... sad to see shops with super scalpers prices.

    What a wonderful place. I visited here for the first time with my son the other week and was treated as if I was a regular customer. Tom was patient and kind as I asked him questions. The prices for Magic cards are so low you'll end up buying more than you intended which is great because you're supporting a fantastic store. This is the cheapest I've seen magic cards go for. I went in another day and Gloria helped me pick out the perfect toy for my son. They've earned themselves a regular customer and I'm happy to support such great people who have a genuine love of the hobby. On top of all tha

    My boyfriend and I visited Robins Nest for the second time, since our first visit was wonderful and the customer service was incredible. As for the second time, the owner and one of her employees had rushed us since we were browsing and enjoying our time as we have been there for not even 20 minutes in the shop. The owner told us to stop and leave within 5 minutes since we were just browsing and not getting much cards as we already handpicked the cards that we wanted. She then accused as that we have been coming back to the shop weekly and have been damaging her cards. I then defended myself t

    I have had both great and terrible experiences here over the years. I’m not going to get into all of that bc I still genuinely believe that this is a cool place to go if you really love Magic the Gathering. They have a ton of really cheap singles here, and if you love random kitchen table magic the gathering builds, or the commander format, it’s a great place. Problem is, i don’t like commander at all so I don’t come here much, and they price things off of eBay listing rather than use TCGPlayer for comps. Not my first choice for gaming in the area as there are a lot of choices, and most are ch
