Sci-fi Collectibles!

Just in time for the holidays, we have a consignment of collectible figures from Star Wars®, Star Trek®, and other science-fiction classics, all new in boxes. You'll find 12-inch action figures, fighters, miniatures, and much more! These are perfect for collectors or fans of the seminal series (but probably not appropriate for kids younger than 3). We have a limited supply, and when they're gone, they're gone. What treasures will you find?

Upcoming events

Poet Michael Katko reads on March 1 @ Ruby K's, 6 p.m.(8 days)
