For where the city is located, Acme offers you a great place to venture out, rest, and look back into your childhood and buy something nostalgic from the 80s. For what it has to offer, there is a good mix of old and new school stuff. The prices are decent and will help support our local business. Please look into stopping by and saying HI to these friendly and helpful people Definitely a keeper and worth the stop. Support your local business!!!

It’s a cool place as long as the owner isn’t running the cash register...there’s a transformer that I’ve been looking at there that’s in a few pieces that has a 10$ price tag on it so I finally ask to see it and unfortunately it was the greedy owner there who tells me that the 10$ tag is for the pieces and the body it attaches too is another 10$ even though when looking at it there’s only one price tag..he basically doubled the price on the spot for no reason other than it was fairly priced...He’s a douche but the other dudes are cool...

Came in with a box of comic books that were left to me. Was offered $125 dollars after store went through the box. Declined and 7 months later am over $4k dollars in individual sales of the books in that box. Do your research before coming here

Nice group of guys you deal with. I have known Bob the owner for over 30 years. Treats everyone the same and its a pleasant and as close to a family atmosphere you get when shopping.

Review №26

Interesting step back in time with a varied selection of vinyls, comics, and figures of all shapes and sizes. With new comics available, the draw might easily be the harder to find items that line the ACME walls. Worth a visit if only to stir your nostalgia!

Ive been going there since I was 12 years old. Most of my comic books have come from here and Im currently reaching up into the 300s if not more. Take your kids here, take your friends here, its a great place.

Ive come in a couple times recently as a beginner to comics, and the staff here has been friendly and helpful without being overbearing and shoving their thoughts about what I should be reading down my throat. I love coming in and browsing, because theres always something new to find and they have plenty of knowledge to share!

Not exactly the largest selection when it comes to general nerd stuff, however I always manage to leave with some weird thing I never originally went in for so that has to mean theyre doing something correct. Been coming here for around 20 years now too.

Went there for the first time the other day and wasnt impressed. It was pretty hot out and they didnt have any fans going, nobody said hello or asked if I need help, and it just seemed really grungy. Rather drive to sunnyland than go here.
