TC's Rockets - Comics & Toys
4.7★★★★★ 1,156 reviews
Back issuesGrading & pressingAmazing selection, especially for Star wars, gi joe, ninja turtles, and motu. Some really good condition old Battlestar Galactica stuff in there. There's a little bit of everything, but some really shine. If you appreciate vintage action figures, this is like a museum where you can buy stuff.

SigningsThis place is totally awesome! So many Pops to choose from and collectible Disney items, aside from so much more. They have 2 store fronts. They are separated by a gift shop in-between and are located right on the corner of 10th St W & Ave J-4, next door to the Baskin Robbins.

Free Comic Book DayIndie & small pressMy favorite comic store in the whole of Sacremetno. The staff is kind, accommodating, and very helpful. They do have subscription and because I travel all the time, they keep it for me to be picked up every two months. Which is really nice. They have good selection, and a lot of board games if you are interested.
