Like everyone else, the owner is super-helpful and friendly, and does do some deals, but the shop is chaotic and packed. While I was there, one of the patrons saw some long boxes and asked about them. The response was that he had not yet gone through them, but it was okay if he went through. Nice of him, but then this action caused a major walkway to be blocked. I asked about Spider--Man and Ghost Spider/Spider-Gwen, and was told he had none, except what I could find in the backissue bins. Not true, as I had found issues in various piles throughout the store. Why not suggestive-sell the Campbell-signed Spider-Gwen poster on the wall. Speaking of comics, where are the new comics? I found some in a pile, but only because I was a snoop. Would I go back? Maybe when I he sorts the comics and de-chaoses the store.
I love this store! Great variety, great customers who come in and the owner, Mike is very friendly, helpful and respectful/respectable. He sells anything from comics, toys to VHS tapes. He is also wise as he told me to save recites from anything I collect as I am a huge Star Wars collector and a few other things. Hes sold me 2/12 of the first 12 Star Wars toys from 1978 with their original capes in very good condition for less than average. He once sold one of the rarest Star Wars toys. The vinyl cape Jawa, not customized, legit. He even sold An unopened original gray hair Ben Kenobi with plastic case over the plastic case for $700.00. Which is what its worth. Hes not a con artist by any means. He claims to be Catholic and I believe he is. He treats everyone with respect, is honest and other qualities of that faith. He also threw out a Ouija board someone gave him. Ive been doing business for about 4 years and plan on doing more.
Collectibles galore is a great shop for comics, statuettes, trading card games and things of this nature. The owner Mike is a great guy to chat about anything in the collectible genre. He is extremely knowledgeable in every aspect and just a great guy to talk with. I would recommend this shop especially for comics first and foremost though. All in all its a first rate and fair place to purchase from so stop in and look around and say hi
Mike is fantastic and one of the most knowledgeable people in the comics and collectibles industry for Syracuse. Very fair prices on everything. I can, and have, spent hours digging through the piles of boxes of back issues and found some great books for insanely good prices.
If you LOVE vintage comics with a capital L then this is where you need to be. Key books galore and priced appropriately. Owner is a true fan, as well as, an honest and reasonable person.Plus toys, action figures, statues, hot wheels, power rangers, Simpsons, Star Wars, etc.I never know what I might find in there, but I LOVE looking at everything and always walk out happy.
Simply put, the best comic and toy store in the CNY area! Hands down! Whether your looking for retro, vintage, or modern, look no further this is your place! Very knowledgeable staff. More than reasonable prices. Amazing selection! By far my favorite collectibles store in the galaxy!
Owner was very helpful and friendly also willing to make a deal to make a sale. There are definitely many comic books here and at very good prices if you are willing to do some searching as the bulk of comics are not in alphabetical order but overall a very good store

2020-11-18This guy is great! He was so fair and honest. Took his time to explain! The store is more like a storage locker but it was well stocked and fascinating. I would trust him if I need to sell again! Next time I will splurge and get a model car!

2022-01-30So I dont think a lot of luck finding this place or much of anything once you are inside. It is really poorly organized with stuff literally piled everywhere.I guess after looking around it might be a good place to dig for things. They definately had a bunch of action figures and comics. Pricing seemed inconsistent too, much of it was just not priced and whenever I have been there... good luck getting help. They seem to have maybe one employee on at a time and they are generally hanging around talking to the regulars and not breaking away long enough to answer a question or two.Last time I was there it was at least 20 minutes waiting at the counter without even being acknowledged while they chatted away. It was unacceptable, the product I was interested in I guess they didnt want to sell or something. It was a waste of time. My suggestion go elsewhere. There are far better options nearby.

2021-07-10Been coming here for about six-seven months at this point. The owner is great, has great stock, and fair prices. Good guy to talk to about just about anything, comics or otherwise. Looking forward to continuing to come here for a long while in the future!

2020-07-04As i told my wife and son (2 years old), this is the best comic shop i have ever been to. The owner was great, really friendly and passionate about comics and collectibles. They have dollar bins, gold, silver, bronze, modern comics, and a number of other different collectibles. Great shop. I would highly recommend. I will be back next week. Only complaint is i wish he was open past 5 so i could go during the week after work. Also, he (Mike) has a limited number of weekly new comics. Thanks Mike.

2021-04-24The owner is amazing 😊 he always has new and interesting stock and is very kind. If your child brings in their report card with good grades they get a percentage off. It genuinely makes my sons try harder ☺️ love this business!!!

2021-10-29Depending on what youre looking for, this place has lots of comics, graphic novels, and comic related collectables. Buys, sells, and appraises vintage comic books, and other collectable items. Its not very easy to find, but its a nice little store that doesnt have much comparable to it in the general area.

2021-04-13Its always refreshing spending a weekend afternoon looking through comic bins. Mike is always helpful and gives great advice when it comes to buying and selling. The store also recently sells CGC Pokemon cards for those who are interested.
