Never knew a place like this existed! Not only do they sell many retail items such as; comic books, funko pops, pokemon merchandise, anime books, video games, plushies and 3d printed critters, there is a day game pass for only $5! The day pass let's you and /or your children play with the entire selection of board games, test your skills on the several retro arcade games and build anything you can imagine at the giant lego table. Hands down a great family activity.
Excellent place. Lots to see. Fun for all ages. Owners are very friendly and helpful.
Bricks and heroes is an amazing local business. We are here multiple times a week to play D&D and Pok?mon. Steve is a very nice person and makes the store fun for all ages. They sell new and vintage video games. They also sell board games, comics, trading cards and legos. We love this place! Thank you Steve!
We always have a GREAT time here! I love that you can play all the games for such a reasonable price! Board games, legos, video games and more! They have AWESOME 3D figures and they are very VERY reasonably priced as well. If you have been yet, check it out! You won't regret it!
Hidden gem! Absolutely will return. They have a little bit of everything and were super nice and helpful.
Nice way to burn a Saturday evening. $5 all day game pass that includes board games and arcade games.
The store was a surprise to find! I happe Ed to be driving by, far away from home, and saw the sign. I could not stop just then but went back. They have a truly unique space, and an eclectic variety... Lego to Funko Pops to D&D items to a small room with the 1-up arcade machines in it. The highlight for me was the table to pick through of Lego to fill a bag. I had a nice conversation with the owner on my way out as well. If I lived a lot closer, I would be in much more frequently!
Love this place. Great staff and lots of awesome collectables.
Though the space is a bit cramped at times, the sheer volume and assortment in the shop is well worth 5 stars on its own. I probably spent well over an hour inside and still didn't see everything. If you want to try out new boardgames with the family, dual your friends and family in Pokemon or even play MtG. Their games room is the perfect spot to have full day access for a super affordable rate to try before you buy. The staff was amazing, professional and attentive with the customers, never hesitated to
I liked this little shop. I went in pretty late and only looked for comics, but it seems like there is quite the gaming atmosphere here. I can't speak on that but will just review their comic selection. I was happy to see that they had a small selection of graded slabs, and they were very reasonably priced. Their selection of current modern comics was good, but there's not any selection if you're looking for golden, bronze, or silver age stuff. Overall, the store was pretty cool and the staff was friendly
I love this store. It had so much variety, comic books, pops, action figures, Lego, even a place to play board games and a mini arcade! I definitely will come back next time I'm in Huntsville.
I went to visit for someone birthday ?? ?? it was amazing and fun ??
The board game room/arcade/lego play: $5 for the whole day! My four year old daughter had a blast and my 12 yr old nephew connected with other kids that share his interests. Overall a great place to spend a Saturday. They appeared to carry many items of the more popular anime, manga, and comic book series. On our first visit they didn'thave something we wanted, but helped us locate it online. Very friendly, and helpful employees.
This place is incredible! There are tons of board games, video games and legos to play with. My 3 year old had a blast! They are so polite and helpful. I would recommend definitely recommend Bricks and Heroes!
Friendly knowledgeable staff. Nice store with lots of everything! Very many funko pops, lego sets, warhammer and warhammer 40k, comics and D and D. There's around 300 something board games to play and two rooms of arcade game machines! Lot's of room in the gaming area so you can bring your entire crew fora relaxing day of gaming together.
I recommend visiting this place if you haven't already! Huge selection on Funko, Lego?s, Pokemon cards and more! Friendly staff and a lot of things to look at!
The owner is very nice and honest. Does not try to lowball when trading in items for store credit. I was shocked with how much I was offered for my pops on trade ins. Awesome store to have in Huntsville. I hope to see them grow and excel.
It's so cool to have a comic book shop here in Huntsville. All the latest releases in bags and boards, plenty of variant covers. A great place to browse collectibles. Helpful knowledgeable staff.
Great store. Only came to look at comics. Was pleasantly surprised to find a decent selection of not just comics but board games, trading cards, and memorabilia. Definitely gonna be a monthly stop for me lol
Was super awesome and fun. Has a big selection pf funkos which is what I was looking for. They have vaulted and chase versions will definitely be back. Very friendly and family atmosphere.
Stopped by here on my vacation and I was looking for Deadpool books that I did not have in my collection Was happy to see that they had plenty of back issues did pick up I think 7 the guys were awesome and they were really cool to talk to great selection of books and they took care of me and my wife. Will definitely be back the next time we are in town
Great selection of trading cards (pokemon, magic the gathering, yugioh), board games, and comics. They even had some little 3D printed pokemon characters that I want to paint. Really recommend!!
Great space to hang out with friends and be nerdy. Amazing collectibles, comics and games. Steve and JT are hilarious and extremely knowledgeable about everything they share with their customers throughout the store.
What a Great Place! Not only was J. T. very helpful and knowledgeable, but he was also a very nice guy! In this day of the constant barrage of keyboard warriors complaining about customer service, it is nice to be able to provide a Good Review, for a Good Employee and a cool new place for people to go check out!
Please give this place a shot. It is so awesome. Everything from a mini arcade to a board game area. A whole Lego building room. They also have manga and Funko pops.
Great friendly staff with an amazing selection of comics, pop figures, and trading cards. Plus, a back room for lego building, table top, and more

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
