"Here’s the deal! We freaking love Jays! Every time we visit they are warm and welcoming. They even help us stick our supplies and accessories. Truly great folks. Yes they are more than just a record shop but it sure feels like walking into a record shop every time I pass through that front door!!"

This place rocks! They have an amazing selection of all things nerd! As an mtg fan, I was happy to see that they not only have a great selection of booster packs and commander precons at reasonable prices, but they also have a ton of singles in binders organized by set. In addition to selling tcg products, they have a large play area that host tournaments. Additionally, they have a Lego section that sells used sets and minifigures at good prices. Even with the vast amount of products in their store, it is well organized and easy to navigate. While this store is great, I would love to see price

I usually love shopping at Jay's, it's been one of my favorite stores for over a decade. But...recently, I bought an Xbox 360 console at the south side location, and it came with the wrong power supply. Normally not a huge problem, but I live over an hour away, so making a 2 hour round trip to exchange it wouldn't be worth it. I called and they said they'd mail me one. I ended up buying one off Amazon anyway just in case, which was a good idea, because they never sent me a replacement. On top of that, the controller they gave me didn't work. Luckily, I had one that still works. The console wor

This place is GREAT!!! I'm an old lady, looking for some kind of hands held video game for my 5 year old grandson, without wanting to spend more than a hundred bucks. This was my place!!! The staff was so incredibly helpful. They took the time to explain what would be the best fit and took into account graphics, usability, ease of finding games..... I'm so excited for him to open the hands held system i purchased, along with 3 GAMES!!! Thank you!! Exceeded my expectations!!

There worse then gamestop . They rip you b off competition . The prices they offer are not reseonable. U can bring jn something that's going for 300 on ebay and 375 in there store and they'll b offer u $75 u can. Get like 95 in store credit. I understand they have to make s profit . There not a charity . OK then don't advertise yourself as business that gives a fair deal when u don't. Also least gamestop let's you know what price they give for what they just give u a total it's bull. Please people unless ur really hard up use ebay or fb or garage sales . This business does not deserve on

Worth a visit every month! Always have fun hobbies, games, collectibles, music, movies, etc. We typically visit the south location, but love the Merle Hay store for football cards. Seems to be fair pricing, although I am as far from an expert as you can get. Items for all ages! We like taking our nephews, have since they were 4 or 5 years old. Even if I don't find something I can't live without, it's a fun shopping experience. Each staff member we have dealt with is kind and knowledgeable. Bonus points for being a local business! Our favorite type to support!

Very good prices on manga, DVDs, video games action figures, pokémon, and Yu-Gi-Oh cards. He wants to get a good trading credit when you bringing stuff that's popular. But I come here for only manga, DVDs, and sometimes video games, and it's the best prices that I filed in town
