Wicked Comics & Collectibles 426 Southeast 2nd Avenue, Albany, OR 97321

"Upon entering Wicked Comics and Collectables in Albany, Oregon, you're immediately greeted by an intriguing array of action figures and toys hanging on racks, promising a nostalgic trip for collectors and fans alike. To the left, a dedicated space hosts tables for trading card game (TCG) enthusiasts, adding a communal vibe that's essential for fostering a local gaming community. The store itself is a treasure trove, offering a decent selection of TCGs and an array of collectibles that are hard to resist. It's the kind of place that quickly catches the eye and invites you to explore. However, my experience was somewhat tarnished by the customer service. The gentleman behind the counter came across as standoffish, leaving me with the impression that customer interactions were more a burden than a part of the job. While I would like to chalk it up to perhaps a bad day—which everyone is entitled to—it did affect the overall atmosphere and my comfort level in the store. Despite this, I did make a purchase, drawn by the unique items that the shop had to offer. I'm hesitant to say that I won't give Wicked Comics and Collectables another try, as every place deserves a second chance, and experiences can vary widely from day to day and person to person. I encourage others to visit and form their own opinions. After all, my perspective is just one of many, and what didn't sit well with me might be unnoticed by others. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a curious newcomer, it's worth stopping by to see what treasures you might find and to possibly enjoy a better interaction than I did."

"Pleasant environment to play TCG's or board games. Whole family fun."

"Scalping the majority of the Lorcana cards he received for absolutely exorbitant prices on TCG Trader, and practically bragging about it. The community is aware of it and none of them will be spending any more money in your shop."

"One of the first places I tried Magic. A great connection for all things in the realms of table top gaming, minis, cards and comics, plus a few hidden gems I always seem to find whenever I drop in. The store owner is an awesome person and these folks actually give you the time of day and a fair price for trades and sales. Come show some love and have some fun."

"Store is definitely card shop orientated. Pretty weird since they sell miniatures and dice and have a huge open area for gaming. Went in a few days ago and played some mtg with a few friends, not sure they even have a Facebook group for their store to promote stuff...Pretty far behind in the times."
