I understand that this location is relatively new and that they’re still open to feedback as to what stock to be carrying. Well, I like the fact that I can browse all of the stock that they do have in person but I rather think that this store would benefit from carrying more items aimed at female shoppers. In addition having sizes to try things on would be beneficial: this is one of the only things where in person retail is simply better than online, and so not carrying a wide array of wearables is an opportunity lost. Still, the store does carry a wide array of geeky items, which is generally why one would visit here to begin with. The novelty of being able to shop for these things in person is really wonderful! And seeing some of the large or expensive items in person makes their cost a lot more reasonable. Sometimes it’s just great to have the opportunity to see items in person I was sad that I didn’t find anything here that was actually perfect for me and my geeky interests, but I’m happy that I had the chance to look. Besides, the staff looked like they were working hard at helping the folks who had questions or concerns or who were looking for specific items so that kind of customer service was good to see. I know that this bricks and mortar location cannot carry everything offered online, but a part of me wishes that they could carry more.

Geeks of multiple fandoms will enjoy this place. Comics, Star Wars, Gamers gear, and more! Not too much to offer for animé fans though, so heads up on that. The staff was friendly and welcoming. They have some great life size models of various characters. Check out all the cases for some very neat collector’s pieces — the Harry Potter case was a personal fave. As an avid Star Wars fan I loved the scarves and purses, but they didn’t have the accessories for this genre like they did others, which was a bummer. Overall: A Fun place with plenty to look at!

Super disappointed with this store. We went out of our way to go to this mall just so we could come here only to find that their prices were much higher than they would be online, and their sales prices weren’t really sales because the price on the shelf was the«sale» price. I understand that they can’t have everything they do online but there was no real reason to shop in the store when the prices online are cheaper and there is free shipping. At the end of the day I felt horrible for asking my husband to detour us out to this mall for such a disappointing experience.

Geek paradise! Where has this heavenly place been my entire life? I’ll start off by saying I’ve been an enormous fan of Think Geek for some time. I’ve dropped quite a bit of hard-earned dollars on their web store. So when I found out they were building their first brick-and-mortar location and that it was in my neck of the woods, well I had a mini nerd freakout. And my first trip to Think Geek I was not disappointed. Upon walking inside I had a major nerd freakout! This place is amazing! If you’ve spent as much time surfing the Think Geek web store as I have, you’ll recognize some of the products here. Great opportunity to pick up those pieces you’ve wanted to snag but didn’t want to may shipping for. In addition to the products from the web store, they also have a good selection of products that are in-store exclusive. If you’re are in any way a geek, even if just a touch, you NEED to check out Think Geek. I can’t visit that area of town now without making a stop. My only complaint: I wish the store were bigger. :)

Need a Iron Man Suit? Check! Storm Trooper? Check, Check! Terminator for your lawn statue? Sure why not! That’ll be $ 30,000 please. This store is super cool, great unique gifts for the inner geek in all of us. I debated on buying my little brother a $ 20 Star Trek pizza cutter though.

This store was the whole reason I went to the Mall in the first place. I wanted to find out what all the chitter was about. YES! I love the think Geek catalogue, this is the TGC come to life. Are you a geek? Do you like Geek Culture? Then why are you not shopping here already? If you have a particular fandom, they have your merchandise. I saw a LOT of things I wanted, but sadly NOTHING I couldn’t do without. Upon entering the store, we were greeted by a $ 10K statue of Iron Man! A suit of Storm Trooper Armor sits in the window, pining to be purchased. There is a Game of thrones crown and all manner of lingerie for your aspiring Poison Ivy and Cat Woman. There’s a Cookie Monster blue Superman Robe as well as complete sets of miniature lay outs of that Zombie Show on Sundays… Really reminded me of the HHN houses. *snerk* If you’re looking for something from fandom, just need to get your geek on, go to Think Geek! You’re gonna love it! And yes, they had the planet glasses there!

My daughter is really into Batman so we decided to check out this store. Once we were inside, we were amazed at every turn. There were so many cool merchandise. From Star Wars, to The Walking Dead, Super Heros, various video game characters, etc. My oldest was so excited, she couldn’t even contain herself. We actually had to go back the next day to shop since we were short on time. Definitely a very unique store that would be great to shop for when I need to buy a gift because apparently I know a lot of «Geeks», including myself since I love this store! We went to the Super Hero Headquarters at Disney Springs, but Think Geek was so much better. Since not only goes it has more than just Super Hero merchandise, it’s bigger, and has something for every price range.

Loved this place. Hubs and I spent a lot of time in here nerding out over all the cool shit. The staff were all really friendly and, since this is the kind of place that caters to nerds and sells really cool nerd stuff, they were all into the items and were all too happy to help us shop. We found some cool figurines and bought a Sailor Moon for a friend, a really neat light up Mega Man helmet for my hubby’s office and a few t-shirts and other odds and ends. They had TONS of FUNKO figures and other neat stuff. We were in heaven and had a great time shopping in here — we’ll be back next time we’re in Orlando for sure!

So excited to have the Think Geek store here in Central Florida! This is the first brick and mortar retail store for the fabulous online vendor of all things geeky. The online store has all of your favorite nerdy things from several genres including Star Wars, Pokémon, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and anything else you can think of that has a large pop culture fanbase. The store was a little bit smaller than I had expected but it could also appear that way because it was so full of people with it being the grand opening weekend. With it being close to Halloween and also the hype of the new Star Wars film, Think Geek had a large amount of Star Wars merchandise including the new BB8 toy, lots of T-shirts, and some fun costumes and robes for women. LOVE the jewelry merchandise by the check out counter, so many cool items including necklaces with the Super Mario Bros. icons. This is going to be my «go to» destination for gifts to all the nerdy people in my life. So happy to have this store here!
