This store you cant beat. Want a book? Want a CD? Want a game? Coloring book? Legos? They have it! The staff is always helpful and friendly. Great prices! I bought a damaged book and they didn’t take any $ off. 🫤

Great place for Funko Pops Amazing reading selection I found Lego sets here, all things Sanrio and hello kitty, cool backpacks, and even date nite movies that are on DVD (in the film section). A ton of family games here as well.

It really is unfortunate the direct they've decided to go. Ive shopped the store for over 10 years now, across multiple locations. However they've decided to mark up trading cards like certain stores to try and meet market. They often price them when the market is more volatile. Then keep them that way. If Im gonna over MSRP Im not paying $30 over what I could spend at a reputable TCG shop online. I mean there a reason you still have so muchstock. A little more at a store like this wouldnt be unrealistic but an over 50% markup.

Great bookstore. They have games, funco pops and other items too .. They must but book lots from other stores when they cycle out .. then place the books out for sale at discounts... 2nC also has used books on shelves too. Something for everyone! Note... Not supremely well organized. Lol the books are in their sections but it's a lot of one offs ( single items) so you can imagine... Avoid if you're not patient that day. 😄 Great service, clean, plenty of stock. And even clearance!! Come visit, you will have fun.

The Buy-Back program is a complete waste of time. I just dropped off 70 DVDs. 22 of them were new/sealed. They offered me $2 in cash or $6.15 in store credit. I have to go back to pick up my DVDs, but otherwise I will never be back. What a joke.

I was so upset to find out that the location at Mall of Georgia was closed. 35 minute drive later and I'm glad I came out here. I forgot how much stuff is just inside the store. New and used everything. A lot of rare items including movies that I had been looking for. And all for a reasonable price. Now some things are more expensive than others and you might question the price this store is more of a "buy it now before it's not here tomorrow". Don't expect a lot of brand new movies on the shelves. Or Blu-rays. But the variety is there. Great store, good atmosphere. I'll continue to make the
