Think Geek

Neat little store, and duly named. They seem to have all sorts of different bits and bobs scattered all over the shelves, and the prices being asked were pretty fair for what you’re getting.

Lots of cool stuff and I love the store but it is too small and the POPs are too expensive

Cool store. Has a lot of the
items but not all. Grouped into sections based on franchise, e.g. legend of zelda, walking dead, etc. Has some expensive action figures and models behind cases but most of the stuff is reasonably priced. Also has some neat Japanese toys. In a nice mall.

This is the first NY store that is open and Have tons of Pros and Cons. Pros: They have the store broken down by theme (firefly/​game of game of thrones/dr.who…etc) and there alot of employees to ask for help you. The item prices vary. Based on my quick look through the store, price ranges somewhere from 20 to a 1,000+. The expensive stuff are on display on glass columns, cabinets and behind the counter wall. They have things a geek may want whether for home furnishing to office trinkets. For my first purchase I picked up a Firefly Yahtzee game. The game comes with a Firefly ship that you can display when you are not playing and is good for those who can’t afford the big damn and Lil damn from quantum mechanix. Everything is nicely displayed and looks like a geeks heaven especially those who do not want to order online from Gamestop or Thinkgeek and wait. The Cons: I just recently had my first child and I wanted to show my 2 month old how cool geek stuff were. Unfortunately I have a jogger stroller. It’s slightly bigger than an umbrella stroller. So when I entered in the store, it’s hard to maneuver because the store walking area is like cramp and the store is tightly pack due to all the expensive, but cool displays on show floor. It’s like walking on line to get on a six flags ride. Not everything that the online site has is in the store. So if you are looking and it’s not there, you still have to get it online. Parking is great but just trying to figure where the store is on the mall map is frustrating. Online the store says it’s 3c. On the directory 3c is the food court. I spent 20 – 30 minutes walking up and down the court looking for it like a lost puppy to find out its actually off the court area and actually alongside with the other stores. So it’s like it’s 3b or 3d instead of 3c. When I was on line, my purchases were rejected by using card and I couldn’t figure out why. Later they realized their machines weren’t working or not online and had to ask another employee to help force the sale through. Overall the store is great buy not too thrilling. For think geek I was expecting more of a bigger store than the hole in the wall. I would probably go there only to pick something up So i don’t have to wait for delivery or see what else nice expensive things they put up on display. Otherwise it’s not worth the daily trip. For other first time thinkgeeks they might be ooh and aaahh but after a while that ooh and ahh loses its shine. I’m not saying That people shouldn’t go there, I’m saying Thinkgeek could’ve done better and that’s why I gave it 3 out 5.
