I had called on Monday of last week asking if I could set up an appointment to trade in my collection. Consisting of Transformers, LEGO, Sonic figures, and Bakugan. Most of it being loose, but a couple still with boxes. I had confirmed a date of that Friday. I came all the way from New Jersey and when I went in for my appointment, the workers were absolutely stunned upon my arrival. I mentioned I had an appointment with the owner. They had mentioned to me that they were doing no appointments today. I assumed they thought I hadn't made one prior. So I mentioned my name, the fact I called several days in advance and had CONFIRMED an appointment. They mentioned to me that the owner had a last minute emergency and they cancelled all appointments. Why I wasn't called for this prior is beyond me but they mentioned there was nothing they could do besides reschedule me. They suggested I try out another branch closer to me. So I confirmed an appointment for next Tuesday. I set up an appointment for the branch in Leona. I had asked this branch if they accepted Lego sets as the last one didn't. The man told me they do as long as they were complete with no missing pieces. (My sets all were) We had confirmed an appointment for 12 that day. They open at 2, but the man wanted to do it prior to the store opening so he could have the time to evaluate my collection. Upon my arrival I had to wait several minutes for the person to show up. When he finally did, I had mentioned I had an appointment, he looked confused and then remembered yes there was an appointment for today. Meaning if he hadn't shown up at that time. I'd have to be waiting 2 hours for the store to open. Everything seemed to have been doing well until I'm told that they actually decided last minute they'd rather not take in LEGOs. Even though they were complete. Okay at least it can't get any worse then that right? Then I'm told they weren't looking to buy loose figures, then for one last middle finger salute I'm told they didn't want anything. So essentially it was a waste of gas, time, and money. They flat out told me that they don't buy things at retail or even what price they're worth. They buy things at 30% of their value. They were essentially looking to spend like $20 on the whole thing. The thing is most of my stuff isn't like dollar store knockoffs. If that were the case I'd understand completely. They're like legit collectors items. I'd honestly give 0 stars if I could. You're better off just selling your collection on eBay. Avoid these branches at all costs. They wanna pay pennies for what your collection is actually worth. And you know the best thing about it all is? The Nyack branch is selling an Age of Extinction Voyager Class Galvatron figure for $120! For those unaware. That figure retailed for $30. It was a garbage figure that has since then not seen any increase in value. The thing sells on eBay for still its original retail price. And it's not even like it's got a signature from the actor who played him or the Takara one with a better paint job from Japan. No it's the Hasbro one. So they don't even wanna rip off potential sellers, but customers as well. Incredibly classy. This branch specifically is incredibly tiny. So if you're looking for something else besides Pop figures you're better off somewhere else.

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!

This is the place to go to if you are looking for some funko pops. There's a great sellection of pops for every budget. The owner was very helpful and nice to talk to.

There's also a smaller selection of action figures and vintage game systems. There's some comics too, but the focus of the store is mostly the pops.

This is my go to Pop store for when I want to go hunting for some rare goodies! The owner is a great guy who loves talking about anything anime and all great things nostalgic. His prices for Pops are very reasonable and will even offer a bundle deal! He gets new pops every other day so there is always a variety of great things there. Highly recommend this spot for anyone who wants to get their collection started, or complete their sets.

This place is a hidden gem even for a collectibles community. It's specialty is pop vinyls but even if you're not really into that it still hosts a whole bunch other collectible items like action figures new and old video games a few figureines it dabbles a little bit in trading cards, but what I really like about this particular location is the items are more unique than you would see in a typical collectible store. They have a lot of vintage items including vintage action figures and older items you might not find regularly available on any store all for a discounted price.

Dope spot! I’ve gone to several spots to try and find uncommon and rare pops but there is no other spot better than this one. Its an all in 1 spot for pops! Restocks constantly on pops and collectibles. Awesome guy too! He will work with your budget and even does layaway. Honestly i look no where else than here for my pops now. Definitely recomend this place!

This place is awesome! Wide variety of collectibles from comics, figures, apparel, and Funko Pops! Also if they don't have what you're looking for, the staff is willing to help get it for you. Very customer service based and the prices are fair. Definitely coming back here for my collection!
