Evolution Gaming and Collectibles

I am not happy about how this place handled their Lorcana prerelease event. Not only were packs not given out as prizing, but the winners only got to get first dibs at product, with the catch that if you went as a family no matter how many of your family members place high for products. Your family only received one product..total. With how much product this store gets. There's was no way that every customer couldn't have gotten at least a booster box. I'm not the only to feel this way and everyone at that event had the same thing to say about how disappointed they were by how this event was handled. Next time, I will be saving my money and only having one family member do the event and save my money for the other card stores that actually feel like handing out product. Very disappointed.

I know it’s my own fault for not realizing until I got home and for not checking but I bought a neo genesis croconaw and a neo destiny dark quilava. The cards didn’t have a price so the clerk checked the pricing and charged me for 1st edition prices. They were both unlimited, so I massively overpaid for 2 cards. You’d think your staff would know how to tell the difference, especially considering I also got a neo genesis 1st edition Cyndaquil. You’d be able to spot the difference seeing as there’s a stamp but I just took his word. It was the first time and last time coming here.

I would leave 0 stars if possible. I went to Evolution the week before Thanksgiving to ask about a Yuna, Grand Summoner promo for the commander box league. This shop said they weren't running the event because they thought that people wouldn't show up for it, but an employee said he could put it on the calendar using the official wizards store locator website for me because I had expressed interest in it, and had some friends that would also be interested. I asked if I could sign up ahead of time or online. The employee said no, and told me to show up the day of the event. He assured me there wouldn't be many people attending. He created the event at my request for December 6th. He told me there probably wouldn't be anyone showing up because of the time of year and the price of buying a box. I keep mentioning this, because I really didnt want to miss my opportunity to participate, so I kept asking if I could sign up or put my name on a list, and was told multiple times that I should come to the store and there wouldn't be many people there. I showed up to Evolution the day of the event 30 minutes early and was told there were no spots left. I wasn't allowed to participate in the event that I asked to have set up in the first place even though I asked multiple times if there was a way to guarantee a spot ahead of time. I got empty apologies in response to my frustration. I wouldn't recommend this shop for anything serious.They don't actually seem to care about people or their requests.

Highly recommended for anybody into the Pokémon TCG scene. Lots of affordable cards, packs, and everything you need to get started like dice and sleeves and mats. I went for a pre-release and absolutely loved it. The owner, Jacob, was super accommodating and texted me back once he knew that I had a spot available. He also hooked me up with some dice and sleeves. A true testament to the kind and engaging community that he has built. And there was 20+ people with additional prizing. Not to mention, you can get your fix on everything else here as well. Magic the gathering, miniatures, artistic painting, Board Games, and Funko pops. If you’re in the area, you should definitely check it out.

By word of mouth from my brother we visited this place, as of this review date, it has just opened about a month ago, We were met with the respectful and friendly, knowledgable, Valentino and overall, the place is very chill, open, ready for you to get immersed!!! Collectibles, cards, minatures, models, the works are all here! Warhammer, WH40K, Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh! Magic the gathering! They're very knowledgable of what they sell so it is a plus for those who are trying to get into a hobby or for those who want to start collecting, and for who ask questions!!! Great place and location as it is in the mall next to the game stop! Will definately reccomend to all!!
