Thunderdome Gaming - Fort Pierce, Florida

Capt. Joel is a hoot, and a heck of a human being. Knowledgeable, with great service, a great additude, and very fair pricing. Kind of place I'm very happy to contribute my dollars to.

I make it a point to visit Thunderdome Gaming when I'm in the area. The store is chock-full of merchandise ranging from board games that are not commonly carried in other stores, to manga and pro-wrestling merchandise - all of which I'm a big fan.

The owner, Captain Joel, is as knowledgeable about the products he sells (and about pro-wrestling) as they come. If you come in excited about the store, it's nearly impossible to leave without a great experience. Organization? Life's too short. Stay awhile and search for that little piece of nostalgia to take home with you. If you're like me, you'll have a hard time only picking one item! The good news there is that Captain Joel is very generous with pricing and deals. I left with a wide range of board games and reading material and paid a final price that was more than reasonable. To top it all off, when he found out I was a teacher in Canada, he donated a series of amazing, hardcover Marvel books to our classroom library. If you don't leave with merchandise, you'll at least have had a good conversation.

Thunderdome Gaming is a treasure.

Thanks, Captain Joel. You're a gentleman and a scholar!

This place was disgusting! Dirty, unorganized, old toys and comic books piled everywhere. Can not even get to some shevles to look. No prices on anything! I asked for a price on some Heroscrape figures, he said he had to look up the prices and never did. Keep going about planting what ever he was planting!

A unique experience. So, so many things in every nook and cranny. Everywhere your eyes land is a new little something you didn't see on the first pass.
The biggest issue is that the owner is clearly overwhelmed. If he could get a better system of organization or maybe more time to sort the piles of what appear to be purchased collections strewn about the floor, it could be an amazing place. Having to navigate unbalanced piles of comics, magazines, boxes, and bags of cans is going to be a huge issue for anyone who can't deal with tighy spaces or clutter.
Personally, i love to dig through boxes to find older collectibles; a true treasure hunt experience!
I found numerous items from multiple eras of gaming and comics. Old D&D modules, old sealed boxed sets of warhammer from as far back as Second Edition. Newer RPG and CCG stuff was crammed in there as well.
The owner and his partner seemed like really nice people willing to help you find items and work some deals on items, but i honestly didn't feel like asking the price about every item as there were little to no price tags on anything.
There is a comic shop next door but was told by one of the employees "next door is way worse."
I wasn't prepared to spend the day digging around because I had my family with me, but one day, i would love to come back and dig around.

This place is disgusting. Went in looking for a DnD figure and all but ran out the door. Trash absolutely everywhere. Kind of like a teenage boys room. It smells and I couldn't even find a path clear enough to the figures at the side wall. Had the owner do it instead. I settled for a figure. Wasn't the one I wanted but I said screw it. The owner went behind the counter and had to step through mountains of trash just to get to the register. I don't understand how a shop gets this bad.

The place is super messy, looked for magic the gathering cards only to find that they charged card prices based on card kingdom. I picked up a stack of cards and was told they were "organized in a special way" the place literally looks like a house from hoarders. Its a shame too because they actually have some good magic product there, they clearly do not care about the hospitality of the store in any fashion. The staff made me feel very uncomfortable. Will not be returning.

I typically prefer to shop at LGSs but this place is a nightmare. This store has never been cleaned in years and it's always a mess. They have tables but they've always been covered in mountains of random junk. Piles and piles of more junk block access to the dusty shelves and the prices are outrageous. Anything you can buy at this shop can be bought at the other cleaner, more organized game stores nearby for more reasonable prices.

There's no reason to visit this store anymore. Go anywhere else.

This place is classic!

Resembles gaming stores in the 80s. Piles of games and book stacked about. Every visit is a treasure hunt.

The owner and the community is happy to talk all things gaming.

Munchkins and Quibblers will hate the place and based upon some of the negative reviews they've already figured that out. That leaves the rest of us a good environment to get our game on.
