Very few retro stores exists I remember my dad taking me to retro stores as a kid. I hope they continue to grow so that people can continue to share the experience of being to one with their kids as I did with my daughter. Goliath is the store to go to they have so many things that will catch your attention!!!
The store has plentiful stock in video games, dvd / blu ray and some comic books. The video games are mainly modern, so if youre looking for anything PS1 and older best of luck. The owner does have said video games in the glass counter. The statue / figures are also available but are from manga and anime mainly so not much stock in dc / marvel if youre looking. However the owner is knowledgeable in everything in his store as he does state he is a comic book nerd and does get high end stuff but posts them in groups he is in and not really on his store page. It is the way of the business, lets support our local comic book and video game stores! Unfortunately the store is not for me.
Just bought an N64 from these guys. Its a cool place. It specializes in anime stuff and cards but in my opinion the coolest thing this shop has to offer is definitely the retro games. Theres a few shops in the valley similar to this but none of the ones Ive gone to have their hands on retro games.Only downside is that retro games in general cost money. You come here for something, make sure you have a good amount to spend.
This shop is amazing. Its a little treasure in the city of edinburg. The prices are great and the merchandise is spectacular. If you are looking for great games (which always work) not like those big chains i rather not mention, but i wish i could (Stop) them if u catch my drift. This is the place to go too. You will not regret it. Highly recommended!
This place is great. Tons of vintage games with more coming in all the time. Plenty of new games as well. The owner of the store is an awesome guy and if youre getting a lot of product theyll knock a couple bucks off just because. They also cover your purchase with a warranty.
Great place. Great people. Theyre very welcoming to everyone. And the tournaments they have are super fun. Everything is a great price. Owner likes to hang out with the customers. In all honesty this is a great place to geek out and chill. 5 out 5 would really recommend to visit and keep on coming.
Walking into Goliath Toys And Retro Games you are immediately hit with the sense of variety that is brought to a collectors grasp. There are items from figures, toys, cards, plushies, video games and a good sensible service. There are some great items and gems that can be found at the store and more usually arrive frequently to freshen up the beat. Will be visiting often. Also, very much kudos for donating to the community and creating community events for the public. Community love really shines.
Goliath is pretty much somewhere where you are not just another customer. You become a fellow retro gamer/horror fan/anime enthusiast/Dungeon and Dragon Hero/Duelist/Super Smasher. This store emanates an atmosphere that welcomes creativity and confidence. The owner isn’t like any store manager or owner I have seen before. He genuinely loves what he does and is there to help you find what you came to look for. You come in looking for a game, card, movie, figurine and not only leave with what you were looking for but also leave with a new friend that understands your interests. I find that to be more valuable than any other collectible.
I went there to sell them some goods I had. I did my research and new their worth. Not only did they tell me my items had no value, they also had the audacity to say some were fake. These people are rude since the moment you step in. They may have good variety and selection, but at what cost?
I found their prices to be very reasonable. Their selection of games, while it was not the biggest, was a very high quality selection. There were lots of very good games for sale for each platform. The staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. I highly recommend going here.
Ive bought several games from Goliath, mostly Gamecube and Wii, and Im always impressed with the selection and quality of games here. Always cheaper than ebay or other sellers, and the 10 day guarantee gives you peace of mind when buying older games. A must-visit when Im in the area.
This place is hands down one of the greatest retro stores in the RGV! Mando the Owner is a cool funny guy along with all the other staff everytime I come here its like family and thats how they treat me. If I ever had any issues with their products they were always happy to fix and find the solution. Love these guys I would recommend 110%. Oh and mando if your seeing this bro just know I mean every bit of it. God bless and see you soon.
Rude and unprofessional. If your looking for great customer service and great collectibles just go to Kirbys Comics or the new comic store in Edinburg Classic Figures by Freddy Gonzalez and 281, Owner is great and employees are really helpful and friendly. Smaller store but better prices and much more collectibles same in Kirbys comics. Did not make the account to trash the store you probably have had those issues before thats why you jump to that conclusion. I dont even have to put the reason how you guys where rude just by the way you answer to my review shows how rude and unprofessional you are as an owner but whatever man im just trying to help out my community and let them know where they can buy there collectibles. Thats what google maps is for
Back up on a trade had told me they will do a trade. Drove all the way to the store and told me somebody else was going to buy it. The person wasnt even there. I got there first but i guess since the other person was paying for it full price decided not to trade when they promote trades. Saying my pops are damage just for a really small dent yet theres are all damage and messed up and are selling them for $15 or more. Just go to Classic Figures on 281 they keep there word and pops arent damage and will lower the prices on there pops if they are damage
The games are overpriced and they dont even bother to negotiate or work with you. They have bad service online and offline. I sincerely tried letting this go but the two times that Ive visited and the one time I tried buying online I get attitude by the employees. Dont waste your time or money here.
This store is cool but everything just seems to over priced all of their funko pops are 15 dollars and you can get them at gamestop for 10 dollars and the customer service is terrible I went in and the guy that was working wasnt even paying attention to me he just kept walking away and kept talking like if he had down syndrome and he didnt even know the prices for anything in the store.

2022-06-26Customer service sucks. Staff barely acknowledges you or says hello. When you ask them for help they have an attitude as if it’s not their job to help. At least smile or act like your job is enjoyable 😁Edit: I’m not sure what the owner is talking about. I went in about a week or two ago looking for comics. Maybe your employees remember that.
