Not a huge place but super friendly and helpful. Good selection of current books but limited in back stock. Nice selection of Pokémon and Magic the Gathering cards and all at reasonable prices.SELECTION: Nice prices on limited back stock and good current issues. Lots of miniature gaming as well as good current selection of MTG and Pokémon. Does not appear to host many card tournaments SERVICE: Exceptional. Totally nice and friendly and very helpful. 5 stars on serviceCOST: Very reasonable. Right about midrange but I would come back for the service alone

Part of the multiverse???Strange how I've checked into this location a multiple times and even wrote a review a few years back, but it doesn't exist yet according to Yelp. Must be a rip in the time stream the Avengers fail to fix. So I guess we start all over. Located right above Queen Street Cafe and Grill (I know you read that review), is the place. Just cut this place into three sections:1) Comic book rack and past issues. Selection is very limited with both present and past issues. They do have supplies like backing boards and sleeves. 2) Model/toy racks and shelves. This takes up a majority of the place. Mini figures, action figure, playing cards, models. They are here. 3) Gaming Table. After being shut for over a year, they are open. I don't know anything about gaming so you have to ask them. Overall four stars. I like the place but when it's windy and doors are open the comic books will be moving around. Now excuse me, kid and me have so reading to......before it disappears. M

Very helpful staff. Went in looking for a gift with no clue about games, but staff was patient and helped me determine best gift based off of my friend's preferences.

#7 for 2020Jesse is a great guy talk to. Very knowledgable about the industry and related events. I've been to his original location in Kapolei many times. This was my 1st visit since moving to Aiea. I must say it was a very wise decision. The location will help the business to grow for sure. New comics coming in every week are properly displayed. Older issues are in boxes kept to the front. He carries many game products including Magic the Gathering which my family plays lots of. There are other board games too. It was slow this morning giving me time to talk about many subjects related to the industry. The growth and where the market was going, the basic business model changing and the good old days before comics came to be a main stream pop culture merchandise driving force. Well, if you're looking for something good to read, talk to Jesse he'll give you a heads up on the latest comic book trends.

The sole comic and game store on the Ewa side of O'ahu, Westside Comics and Games fills the niche nicely. Located in Kapolei in the main shopping area; there are plenty of other restaurants and stores around. Parking is ample and free. The store sits in half of a free standing building away from the main strip mall.The store is small, but very nice. The staff is always friendly and engaging. They make appearances at all the local comic conventions and usually give away free comics, Heroclix, and other small items to advertise. It's a store I don't get to often, but always enjoy stopping in. The cashier is to the left, with game tables taking up the main floor. It's not a huge area for playing and hanging out, but could be enough for small group on a slow day. They have a little of everything: comics, collectibles and toys, board games, card games, and customizable war games including supplies like paints and terrain. They don't have a huge selection of any one thing, but can order for you. This is the most convenient physical store for this side of the island, getting rid of that long drive into the city just for a few books or game pieces. It's worth checking out; a fun little store for people with big imaginations.

Let me start by saying this comic book shop is about 3 weeks old and does surprisingly well for its age. As soon as I walked into the store the employes made me feel right at home, they asked me about Hawaii and why I was visiting, they told me about other great stores, and they struck up good conversations. I walked around a bit and noticed a TV playing Star Trek, a comic book shelf full of this months comics, a few game expansions, but the biggest thing was the Warhammer 40,000 sets. THIS IS THE PLACE FOR WARHAMMER 40,000. They even had a game going and I got to see how it was played. One of the players (who I was pretty sure was the manager) discussed with me about Warhammer 40,000 and made me feel included. The store has a bunch of Warhammer 40,000 sets and a whole rack full of paints to paint them with. I can't wait to see what Westside Comics and Games blossoms into.

Geek Central-West Oahu styleAnother great addition to the Kapolei/Makakilo area. This kind of specialty store is a great niche for a young neighborhood. Lots of stuff for the geek in all of us. Easier to get to than driving to the Pearlridge area to get to similar stores when living in West Oahu.

I am from the East side and normally visit the comic book stores in town but this one is worth the visit. The staff is very nice and I really like the ambience of the store. It is a smaller shop but I personally think they have sufficient merchandise to satisfy comic book readers and other collectors. I am not really into Magic or Pokémon but they do sell merchandise for that segment. I really enjoy digging in their comic book long boxes and very happy to see what is added. I always walk away with buying something so it's never a waste of my time to visit and look around.

We were looking for top load card covers when we called Westside Comics & Games. Be careful when speaking or getting a quote from them as they quote one price, but when we dropped off my grandson to pick up these top load covers, they sold only 10 packs at the phone quoted price but raised the balance 30 packs by a $1 a pack. My grandson paid $30 more than we budgeted for. We voiced a concern by calling back Westside after we had left the area. Our grandson mentioned he bought 30 packs at a $1 more while returning our change. The manager said for us to come back that day and he would credit us back. If we had not caught the overcharge, it would have been a crafty way by Westside Comics and Games to sell at a higher price. In my business play book, the manager should have stood by his word and not change the price in the middle of the transaction, thus creating trust and showing an honest front. He could have told my grandson that prices went up but because he quoted at a lower price, he would honor that for this transaction only. We will not go back and will look for another source for cards and covers. Businesses who make up their own rules, are not to be trusted.

Amazing selection of Team Yankee miniatures and books, including the new Red Dawn releases.
