GameZone

★★★★★

“Your first stop for games and collectibles. Magic the Gathering, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Anime figures, sports collectibles, Funko, video games, comics, Custom skateboard parts, sleeves, deck poses, whole boxes This small family owned and operated store will give you a better deal than almost anywhere else. They have been around for at least 15 years and is the place to go for everything card games and more.”

“GameZone carries most of the major trading card games, including Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Pokémon. Their selection of Magic singles and sealed product is especially strong, with prices that are often at or even below market value. Pokémon products tend to be at or slightly above market price, but they usually have inventory available, which is becoming harder to find with today's demand. Customer service has always been straightforward. I'm typically greeted with a simple, "Can I help you with anything?" without much additional small talk, but I appreciate being acknowledged when I walk in. Beyond trading cards, they also carry Funko figures, collectibles, and other card game products, making it fun to browse even if you're not shopping for a specific game. The biggest downside is the parking. The main lot in front of the store fills up quickly, and the road leading into the shopping center is in rough shape, so getting in and out can be a little frustrating. Overall, if you're in the area, GameZone is definitely worth a visit. It has that classic, rustic local card shop atmosphere, a solid selection, and fair pricing—especially for Magic players and collectors.”

“TLDR: this has the worst customer experience and service hands down; call before you attempt to come here or just go to San ysidro games for a great customer experience, service, set times for open and close and yugioh! Only photos I got before being asked to stop my review I wanted to review all Yugioh shops in San Diego highly but I guess nothing is that easy. Not friendly people unfortunately they have a good shop with a fair amount of cards but it should be ran with different management or customer service in mind. I’m not a stickler on it but the bare minimum should be atleast warranted; came in and looked around said good afternoon to the counter and got growls back. They have funkos I can’t show you, Yugioh selection I can’t show you and magic I barley was able to. I can understand the area the shop is located in may warrant some suspicious to everyone that walks in but come on. Not to mention the “open whenever they feel like it” vibe I’ve tried to come here multiple times over the passed few months to no avail but calling is a best way to figure out the times to come over which I can commend for the structure. The only save grace from a one star for this place is the card selection other then that good luck with your experience here. The Yugioh community I’ve interacted so far in my life as a duelist has nothing but negatives when mentioning this place but always has positives for when it comes to their stock. Trading is banned here, buying and selling among players is banned, appraising for customer cards for the store is up in the air since I didn’t get that information. Honestly if you want a good introduction to the most popular card games I’d say avoid this place for your first time to not ruin your palette and scare you away from a great community.”

“I miss when you were able to purchase products not overpriced. Still a decent shop. Pokemon product is 3-4x MSRP tho.”
