I started collecting Pokémon 4 years ago and Galaxy Gaming has been my favorite card shop to visit. Their trading card inventory from sealed to singles are in amazing quality and variety. The atmosphere in the shop is always welcoming, inviting and helpful. Anyone from pros to amateurs can come in to learn how to play, interact with players and dive into the TCG hobby. The staff at Galaxy Gaming are always so welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful towards anyone that walk through into the store. Omar, one of the staff at Galaxy Gaming, is always a shining light to the shop who creates a warm welcoming atmosphere for everyone. Whenever my boyfriend and I stop by the shop, he always helpful towards looking for the cards we need in our collection. He is even considerate to remember cards we have been searching and informing us when it’s at the shop. I recently moved out of Houston and will always go out of my way to visit the shop when I’m in town. If you ever have the chance, please visit the store for any TCG need. The customer service, inventory and community made at Galaxy gaming can never be rivaled by any other shop in Houston!

I've been here a couple of times, the staff are always very professional and nice.

I'm writing a review today specifically because they were so nice and helpful. I called them to inquire about a card and they not only answered quickly, confirmed inventory but also held at for me.

If I lived closer I feel like I'd be there everyday.

We had only been to this shop once before to look at their Pokemon cards but left empty-handed so I didn’t think to leave a review (I remembered they were super professional and friendly though). Fast forward to the Pokemon Prismatic Evo drop- my boyfriend and I were up since 5am trying to simply just get the binder collection since we didn’t even have binders to begin with as we’re newer to collecting. We must have called 50+ places and went to around 30 stores trying to just get one each but every single store said the same thing. “Shelves wiped out in minutes”, “we have them but double retail”, “no we’re sold out”, “only have the bare minimum left”, etc. In the morning we had waited for two hours at a GameStop just to be told upon entering the doors that everything was sold out and for preorders only. Later in the day someone at a different store said they had seven binders in stock and as soon as we got there they were sold out. We felt every negative emotion the whole time and wanted to give up. My boyfriend then called here where they had everything and were doing a very organized and chill process where every person got only ONE item. Items were priced just right to where they were still affordable but a little higher than retail to where the shop made a small profit (nothing like the other shops that flat out doubled all prices). It was a win-win for both the shop and customers and no one was throwing hands over anything. Best part is it wasn’t just about money to them, the man doing the transactions was friendly the whole time and clearly cares about the community which is wonderful to see! After shaking hands and finally getting what we chased after for literally 13 hours, we left relieved and happy. We’re definitely coming back here again to show more support, this shop deserves every ounce of recognition and love. Make sure to stop by at least once!

Side note: Them having an anti-scalper method was chef’s kiss.

I was visiting Houston for a work convention and thought I would check around to the local card shops. This shop impressed me more than any other that I went to! They have excellent customer service and are doing the Pokemon world justice by being fair in how they buy/sell/trade products! It was fun to look through their large variety of single cards and pick up a box of sealed product (for a fair price I might add). It’s so nice to see stores like this still exist! It’s worth your time to stop by and check out this store!

Very friendly shop owner and super cool shop! We picked up Pokemon product at very fair costs (especially with the current crazy Pokemon market). We stopped by from out of state and do not regret making the time to do so. If you’re in Houston or visiting, we definitely recommend this place!!

This place was recommended to me because i was getting into one piece and a friend told me they have the most competitive scene here and its true. I first came for a prerelease event and the room was packed. Lost x-2 but It was super fun and everyone from players to staff were really friendly and helpful. I also sold a few pokemon cards and was offered a fair rate so i traded it in for store credit and got 2 op09 booster boxes from them. You can check out my big hits from each box.

Id highly recommend galaxy for any tcg. They seem to have it all.

The store seems to favor people and scalpers they know. Came from out of town to do a pre-release for Pokémon and called ahead of time. Was informed that it is first come first serve and to make sure we arrive by 5:30 pm as that is when registration starts and to make sure we were in line for sign-ups. We arrive approximately at 5:10-20. Seems like there was a huge cluster of people crowded at the front and as we asked if this was the line for pre-registration we were told that it was not but everyone in the cluster was there for Poke. The manager then told everyone to sit down and that he had “been keeping an eye” on everyone who had come in and would call people up. As he clears up the counter he starts calling up YuGiOh players and people he knows by name up that we’re not in the cluster and were playing a whole other event. The manager even told a YuGiOh player that it was best to drop their event and do Pokémon. Then another Yugioh player comes up and tells the manager that he has been there since 3 pm, mind you he was there for a whole other event. Then as there are two spots let’s he starts checking the camera to see who walked in, idiotically doesn’t enforce that you had to be in the cluster waiting but just in the store. Horrible structure to this event, and favoritism to the scalper friends this store seems to support. The worst part is there was one kid in this cluster mess and one last spot and this owner gave the spot to the Yugioh player who was playing and “kindly reminded” them that they had been there since 3 pm.
