An amazing store for the game/movie head! He has so much you could spend hours in there. Literally every time I’ve went to this store I left with something I wanted and have been looking for. All the games are categorized and easy to locate. Thank you for being a good priced place that doesn’t take advantage of people. Looking forward to more business with you!

Owner often changes prices of items while you are checking out. More than once I have run into him telling me that something is worth more than the sticker price and telling me that he wont sell it to me for the previously agreed upon price anymore. Also often way overcharges for his games, I recommend looking on ebay for a better deal before over paying. Ive caught him lying straight to my face on multiple occasions.

Hes nice enough but doesnt know how to price pokemon/yugioh cards appropriately. Some are under priced and he looses profit and some are so out of range, its cheaper to buy them online WITH shipping and tax. And some games and dvds Ive previously purchased wouldnt work.. Go there if its convenient for you but in my opinion, its worth it to travel somewhere else even if its farther away like Preplayed in Madison for movies and an actual card shop like Pink Bunny in Milwaukee. Universal Collectibles is NOT WOTH IT!

The owner is very friendly and seems to like making conversation. Even if I’m misreading him, his prices are AMAZING!!! GameStop will charge $30 for a game from 12 years ago. He charges like $8-$12. All of his prices are fair and accurate. Plus, he has such a HUGE variety of choices!!! I’ve bought several things from this store, and when I have spending money it’s one of my favorite places to go.

Great Place for retro and modern video game collectors as well as MAGIC the Gathering and other awesome Table top games. The consoles are also in very great shape. i bought a RESTORED Game Cube along with Zelda Twilight princess and it works like new. TWO THUMBS UP AND I WILL BE BACK :) WE NEED TO KEEP THESE PLACES AROUND! oh i almost forgot.... THEY HAVE COMICS! A one stop shop for true collectors.

Personally my favorite place to buy retro/ modern games and memorabilia. If youre looking for retro games and accessories this is by far the best place to go in the area.

Review №26

Traded in some old oddball early 80s game systems for a very fair price. The owner was very knowledgeable and friendly. Took his time to test everything properly and never once complained.I was looking for a good local game shop that deals with old and vintage systems and I think I found it. They have an awesome selection of all things late and vintage. I cant wait to come back. Thanks!

Review №27

This place is a complete 50/50 coin toss on whether ill enjoy my experience. Sometimes the owner is cool, but other times hes just a complete tool. The card collection is underwhelming, Ive sifted thru thousands of his cards in boxes and its usually not very good cards. The handful of times Ive bought cards here, I immediately regret it because I could get them online for a fraction of the price, even after shipping prices. The store layout is also way too cramped for the building hes in. I often bump into or get bumped into by people just trying to walk past me because the aisles are so narrow. Theres also nowhere to sit, its just straight up uncomfortable to sift thru hundreds of cards while standing up. Even just a stool would be nice. This place has potential, as they do have literal universal collectable, but it needs to be someplace you can actually enjoy going to. I find myself going strictly for the stuff, and staying for absolutely nothing else.

I have been coming to this place for years, mostly to sell rather then buy, but I have bought a few out of production game systems there and I was always very happy. This place has so much product to offer and a very unique variety. I think an enthusiast would really love shopping here. I always felt the prices offered on stuff to sell were very reasonable and anything I bought it felt was a good deal too. Nice owner as well, never had a bad experience.

Review №34

Ive known the owner for quite a few years. Im not as regular of a customer as i used to be since he relocated the store to Menomonee Falls from Germantown, but I always feel I get a good deal on games, not to mention he has games you cant easily find on places like eBay in good shape. And if he doesnt have it, he will find it for you. He also really knows his stuff. He also has a lot of different console systems as well, including a lot of newer ones (ps4, xbox one, etc.)Highly recommend him. Never had an issue with anything Ive bought from his store.

This place has a really great selection of retro video games, blu rays and collectibles. The prices are decent and the owner is really nice. If you look closely you can find some great hidden gems. Just be prepared to spend a little bit of time looking around, the shop is a little tight to move around in.

Really like that you guys got a new space thats bigger than your old one! Somehow nothing really seems updated though? You might want to consider a better shelving/display system.

Review №60

I had stopped in after holding onto a business card for longer than a year. The shop is very small, but there is so much inside. I thought maybe the prices for some things were a little high compared to other stores of this type, but the owner threw in a lot of freebies (since I bought a lot), he even swapped out my broken cases with ones that were not broken.I was also able to find accessories I had been looking for a long time, but I think that might be because the inventory doesnt rotate as quickly. Then again Im not sure how much business he actually gets.The owner was very nice, and very knowledgeable, and overall very attentive while we were there.I enjoyed going a lot, and look forward to going back sometime in the future.

Alex has been supplyong germantown with friendly service and great prices. His trade in deals are hard to beat and his attitude toward costumers is unmatched. You simply wont have a better game buying experience. His shop will be moving locations soon for today (10/14/17) to the strip mall near planet fitness in Menomonee Falls on main street.

This owner and store are great. Everything Ive bought here I have been very pleased with. The store is very small but better then any Gamestop/Media Xchange in the Milwaukee area. The prices might be slightly high for some but all the games I bought were complete, in great condition, and always worked. If you have time spend 5 mins and talk to the owner. You can tell he has a great passion for what he does and has the knowledge and experience to back it up. And one last thing try to catch him at the Wisconsin State Fair or at the Midwest Gaming Convention. He has a far greater selection at these events!

Review №71

Most things are overpriced and if you try to talk him down he will continuously tell you he has other people are willing to pay more. Most of it looks like he goes on ebay and finds the highest buy it now and charges that. He also charges more money for things that should come with for free ex. in Gameboy, Gameboy color, and Gameboy advanced games that needs a battery for either being able to save your game or have time events happen in the game you need a battery. I go to a much better store in Sheboygan called Gaming Generations they change the batteries for free and resurfaces CDs for free if you buy the game.
