Support the local game, comic and gamer-friendly stores in and around Charlotte, NC – Part 2
And we return to our local game tour! We won't be able to share all of them in one post so stay tuned for more!
Here’s the ones you may see our convention flyers at. Be sure to tell them you saw them promoted by Mythic Con.
Get Some Game
Get Some Game is located at 1224 Commercial Ave in Charlotte, NC. GSG (as the cool kids call it) has board games, rpgs, card games, figurines, posters, Gundam style model kits, plushies, cool toy dispensers and other things we know we missed. (There is just sooooo much to see here!) Seriously the layout of GSG makes you want to wander around and explore!
GSG is a family loving store with lots of space available for you and the family to play. And they host lots of card game tournaments!
You can even order from the store online.
Check out their Facebook Page for their events.
Spandex City Comics
Did you know Spandex City Comics is celebrating their new location at 8420 Bellhaven Blvd in Charlotte NC? Don't worry they didn't relocate too far away from their original location. Karen estimates its like five to ten minutes (but we've learned that Karen's sense of time and distance isn't that great...use GPS instead of Karen...lesson learned).
Spandex City is very excited about their new location! More gaming space! More inventory! AND more ice cream offerings and iced coffee! (Yes you read that right, you can game and EAT ICE CREAM!) Games, comics and ice cream! A gamers trifecta!
To keep updated with what's going on with Spandex City check out their webpage and their FB page.
Collectibles and Games
We travel north east again to visit Collectibles and Games. We wanted to welcome them to community as they recently opened their first store front at at 409 S Salisbury Ave Unit C in Granite Quarry, NC. They are CCG and vintage video game shop.
Cameron, the owner, is a dedicated Yu-Gi-Oh enthusiast who's been stoking the fires of excitement within the gaming community for the past two years through his successful e-commerce venture.
He's amassed an astonishing collection of over 70,000 cards! His passion for the game is contagious, and his dedication to delivering top-notch experiences to fellow enthusiasts is unwavering.
You can find our more about their store on Facebook.
R & B Games, Cards, & Comics
Next we travel north from Charlotte to R & B Games, Cards, & Comics! They are located at 1525 Cinema Dr in Statesville, NC. R&B carries RPGs, board games, card games, Funko Pops, toys, and comics! And they have a great play area!
One thing Karen and Tuna found exciting is that they have packs of old baseball cards! (This might be a Gen X thing, but it brought back memories! Including how ugh the gum was when it was originally made. Can't imagine how it tastes after 20-30 years!)
Check out their event calendar on their Facebook page.
If you can't make it up to Statesville, you can still order from R&B! Take a look at their page.
Ssalesfish Comics
Ssalefish Comics Concord is located at 10099 Weddington Rd Suite 118 in Concord, NC. Ssalefish also has two other stores in NC. Their Winston-Salem store is located at 3232 Silas Creek Parkway Suite 20 in Winston-Salem, NC and they also have a Greensboro location at 1622 Stanley Road Suite 118 in Greensboro, NC.
Ssalefish Comics overlaps the interests of many gamers. They are primarily a comic shop, but also carry collectible toys, graphic novels and some manga publications. (Pro-tip: Schedule your visit around the Speedway's schedule. Take our word for it.)
You can find the Concord store on Facebook: and on their webpage.
FTW Games
Continuing our game store tour, we are again north of Charlotte. FTW Games is located at 112 W Broad St, Statesville in NC. FTW is located in downtown Statesville and the building they are in is AMAZING. Unlike most of our modern world, FTW has kept the original front of the building! You have to walk down the window displays to get to the door. SOOO Cool!
FTW stocks trading card games (like Pokemon and MTG), board games, RPG games, war games (like Warhammer and Star Wars), accessories for gaming (like paints) and they offer by the hour video game play! They have multiple gaming consoles set up in the store—Xbox, PS, and Nintendo Switch! We can see the video games being a huge hit with the kiddos.
Go check them out!
You can find more information and events on their Facebook page. (Tuna is very sad he missed the 40k 10th ed BBQ!)
G2K Games
Today we visit the state to our south! G2K Games - Rock Hill Galleria, SC is located at 2301 Dave Lyle Blvd #130 in Rock Hill, SC. They specialize in video games, especially vintage games and consoles and CCGs like Magic, Pokemon, and others.
But when Nick told us that they have D&D and dice, we really lit up! It's like a nice warm cup of cocoa when you visit your granny. (And we had to change this post from being about a tabletop gamer friendly store to a game store!! Yay! They even have tables set up so you can play in store!)
Their accessories are amazing too. From a D&D coffee mug to this amazing stained glass poster from the Legend of Zelda, you are bound to find something you need.
Go check them out when you wander south!
You can find their events calendar on FB.
Scott’s Collectibles
Next up we have Scott's Collectibles at 942 Cloverleaf Plaza in Kannapolis, NC.
We know there are people who like gaming AND like the sportsball. ;p (Karen is rolling to disbelieve.) Scott's Collectibles is a great spot for you! Or a great spot to get something for the geeks you love!
They buy, sell and trade sports cards and memorabilia, die cast cars, and other autographed memorabilia. They sell card CCGs, like Magic; wargames, like Star Wars and 40k; board games; and a limited selection of RPGs.
Check out what they have in stock on their Facebook page.
