The Time Capsule

I should preface this by saying I went here this weekend strictly looking for new (to me) records and not so much anything comic or video game related.
While the majority of this store is dedicated to the latter, their vinyl selection was excellent! If you’re okay with digging, this place is certainly worth a stop. The staff is also very knowledgeable & friendly, which can sometimes be hard to find in such an environment. One of the guys there made sure to let me know when new records come in & get placed on the floor.
I was able to pick up 5 awesome albums for under $ 25! The vinyl was in near perfect condition and the sleeves had some wear (to be expected). I was in heaven so I needed to have a little self control ;)
I felt extremely comfortable hanging out and searching for some great records, I will most certainly be back for more.

I went to this store for the first time the other day with my son, and boy was I impressed! The selection of books was unbeatable and the staff that was working was incredibly nice, passionate, and helpful. They helped me find an excellent current series and the price of their back issues is great. Will definitely be regular customers!

What do you want out of your comic store? Large selection (check), friendly staff (check) and just a quiet atmosphere to bask in the greatness that is comic life (check).
The Time Capsule always has me coming back, because we have lost out on what a comic store truly is. With comics becoming pop culture more than ever, we have hybrid stores that focus more on attire, gift items and comics get a distant 3^rd sometimes even 4^th rung on that list. It happens but glad that The Time Capsule truly puts comics front and center.
Just like your friendly comic store, if they run out (which is rare) they are happy to order and even give you a call once they get them in. Awesome right? You think that would be par for the course for a store like this, nope. Elsewhere you would get the ol «we should get a delivery soon» line and expect you to come back and do your own search.
Head on over to The Time Capsule and bask in the wonder of everything comics has to offer!

This is definitely a neat little place, tucked in the outskirts of Seekonk with a wide variety of comic books and trinkets lost in the years past. Unfortunately, this place was just a little too small and didn’t have much beyond basic comics and a smattering of manga. The staff is very friendly and allowed me to peruse around for a long period of time without buying anything. At the end of the day, I wished it could have offered more and I’d be excited to return if they expand their non-​comic book selections.

The Time Capsule in Seekonk Ma is a great place for comic buffs and also people who love old video games and records. The staff there are extremely nice and very helpful. Last time I went there I was looking for a Godzilla DS game for my nephew for his birhtday. They didn’t have it, but the employee checked online for me and found it for a great price.

Almost as cool as the original! (LOL) I’m a regular at the Cranston location but every time I visit the Seekonk store it’s just as great an experience.
Staff is just as friendly and laid back. Browse as long as yah like, no rush here.
If you need help just ask (most collectors like to be left alone in the bargain bins!) Guaranteed you’ll find something in the bins or behind the counter to make it worth the trip every time! Someone wrote «they should have one in every state» I say every town!!!

What a great find!
I was able to get an N64 controller CHEAP so that I could be super cool and give The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time another go!
They have everything from Magic: The Gathering trading cards to rare pez dispensers! It’s awesome that there is still a place to go to buy old records, atari games, and every other game console, game, accessory you could ever need!
The owner, guy at the desk is super friendly and knowledgable! Thanks for being open! Great place!

The time capsule has made my dreams come true not only that it just has comic books it has heroclix which is one of my favorites, movies, little toys, old videogames, and new and old comic books especially the older ones. the time capsule has the best staff there that I really like the staff they are awesome. The time capsule made my dreams come true and I will come back every day when I come to Rhode Island.

When my younger brother comes in from out of town he likes me to take him to the Time Capsule. He’s big into comics, games, and pretty much everything that is at the Time Capsule. The staff is knowledgeable, willing to help, and always gives me assistance when i’m trying to pick something out for my brother’s birthday/​xmas gifts when i wander in on my own. The only thing i will say is that we recent bought a nintendo gun here which was supposed to have been tested and when we got it home we noticed that there were exploded batteries in there. Gladly when we went back the next morning they were happy to exchange for something else.

One of my family’s favorite places to visit, the Time Capsule has comics, comics and more comics, plus a huge selection of albums (not cds kids) from back in the day. They have a few collector’s toys, Tshirts and other merchandise, but mostly if you’re looking for comics, this is the place to go.
The staff are friendly and helpful! Parking is limited, but the location is excellent. Stop by after having a big breakfast at Alex’s restaurant just a moment up the street.

Really helpful staff gives great advise on which comics are appropriate for little kids. You don’t have to be an fanboy to shop here.

This is one of my favorite places to frequent, I visit here about once a week, sometimes twice if its a good week. Lots of comics, games cd’s and geek stuff in general. If you’re not quite sure what you’re looking for, Jeff knows, and you will leave with more than you expected to. I have learned in this store that if you see it, buy, as it will be gone if you «hold off until next week» (lost out on a jacket and a set of empire strikes back pencils this way!). My wife and kids love it here too, they really have something for everybody. Its easy to drive past if you aren’t paying attention, but worth turning around for!

Jeff — the manager who never seems to have a day off — knows his stuff, is friendly and helpful and even funny on occasion. The store is packed but easy to navigate. If you’re looking for something they either have it or will get it from you. As a collector of vintage video games and systems I can truly say the prices are excellent — especially for classic consoles.

If I’ve got good music and «old fashioned» games on the brain.. . I find myself driving to the Time Capsule. They have so much stuff!!!
It all started when I had to replace my N64 and a large portion of my games. Disheartened at the amount of money I figured I’d have to spend on ebay auctions and website purchases, I was pleased to find out about the Time Capsule. They have a bulk of games, from SNES, N64, Xbox, to Sega games.. . the list goes on. I’ve picked up several N64 and SNES games, most of which were under $ 10 (the most popular games including Mario’s, Donkey Kong’s, etc are $ 15+). I was also able to get a wired controller for my replaced N64.
It certainly doesn’t end with games.. . They’ve got comic books, toys, collectibles, records, cd’s, and dvd’s. I’ve bought several records here.. . to play, to hang as artwork, to give as gifts. Cheap too!!! You really can’t beat the prices here.
The guy that works here (his name slips my mind at the moment, sorry!) is very knowledgable about what he has available in the store. Very helpful and willing to suggest things, it makes shopping here an enjoyable experience. When I was looking for decent copies of some Grateful Dead albums, he took down the names to check with the Cranston location and said he’d keep me in mind with upcoming shipments. Weeks later, I returned for some xmas gifts.. .come to find out, he remembered me and what I had requested. Can’t ask for better service than that.
I have also taken advantage of their buyback program and have unloaded some misc. SNES games that I never had an interest in playing as a young girl.. .or now. Fair prices, trading available. Check ‘em out!

Simply put, I –so– love this location. After my lukewarm/​lackluster experience at the original, Cranston store last year, I was a bit unsure. Thankfully I was oh-​so surprised.
Very spacious, well lit and tidy, the layout is much easier to navigate making for a better time finding the perfect item. Great selection of LPs, CDs, DVDs & so forth aside from the obligatory huge comic offering. Unfortunately when we stopped in last week I was –just– coming down with strep and thus wasn’t fully with it. Apparently they also had some nifty import games I totally missed out on.
Service was welcoming and (on a personal note) I didn’t feel so out of place as I did last time in Cranston.
I am totally psyched to visit again in the near future and properly check everything out with more time on my hands, along with the very curiously flamboyantly lit coffee/​donut place across the road.

After stopping by The Time Capsule in Cranston the other day, the owner told me he had opened another store in Seekonk. I stopped by yesterday and while it is not as big as the Cranston store, it was still worth the trip. I do collect quite a bit of stuff and my son collects too so we both were able to find some gems there. I bought a few classic rock records, the latest Walking Dead trade papeback and some Animé DVD’s. My son found a few N64 and Sega Genesis he was looking for so I’ll be back!
