A bit overpriced. Not that great of a selection of toys, most of which are overpriced. Comics have a great selection and reasonable in price. Music is a very poor selection.
I hadnt been to this shop since I lived in Pittsburgh in the 90s. Great experience and great selection, fairly priced.
One of Pittsburghs most venerable shops, selling movies, comics, records and toys. Everything is at a reasonable price but as good or better than that is warm and personable staff.
Eides Entertainment is a great place to buy movies of all types, posters of different movies, music (on CD and vinyl) of all times, comics of different genres, and so much more. The staff is helpful when I had questions and they were friendly. Very nice and welcoming atmosphere.
Great place for finding niche media and classics that you wouldnt normally find at places like Barnes and Noble. The prices arent a bargain though and most items are on the higher end but worth it.
I will say this right up front, this place has very, very good books. From gold age to current, they have everything. Spent some time talking with one of the co-owners and I agree, while there is some wiggle room, dont try to haggle because you dont like the price and tear them down because of it. I will say that they have one of the best selections in the Pittsburgh area and I am happy to have spent some time at the shop.
Dude with long grey bushy hair was a complete jerk. Talked to me like I was a child. Wouldnt spend a dime in this dump. Work on your customer service buddy!
So many Comics, Figures, Vinyls, Books and CDs! Literally so overwhelming with stuff its truly an amazing/euphoric experience!
When first walked in a whole group of us was yelled at for having bags. Then gave everyone attitude and said to buy something or we are wasting his time.
Great comic shop. Has everything from vintage books, records, comics and nostalgia. Found original Logans Run LP in near mint condition that I had been searching for years. This is a Mecca for all us nerds!
Its a rare thing to give five star but this place rocks. They have collectible books from Burroughs, Verne, marvel comics, dc comics, and independents. They have collectible novels from Michael Moorcock, and storm Constantine and the list goes on. Its a magical place if you ask me. I frequent it and I bring money to purchase!
Have always loved this establishment, been going here for years. Whether it is for music, comic books, movies or simply a beverage or ice cream, I am always greeted warmly and treated well. Love the staff, and they are very knowledgeable about their wares.
Found some great books here
This isn’t the Eides you remember… it’s now a ‘NO’ zone of socially backwards employee/owners that epitomise anti social engagement with patrons. The basement comic book managers cortisone your purchases as if you have no clue why or what you are looking for, the second floor fella basically is so awful to deal with I honestly will never shop there again. After attempting to make a transaction easier with exact change, he angrily says no and shoves a handfull of change back into my hand and literally says to me “no thanks, I just want you to move on. I don’t want your 18 cents”. At this point I asked why and he began to go into one of those geek style diatribes why he wants people to get in and get out. I u der stand COVID is a real thing and I was masked up and keeping my distance from him and everyone else. I think my experiences there have been leading up to this review and will no longer be frequenting this once fine establishment. Sad enough to say I will purchase my weird odds and ends from an easy online retailer now. Sorry. I did discuss this with a few friends before I posted this and sadly they all have the same opinion now. Did I mention it smells in there?
One of the best comic shops Ive ever been in!
Ive known Jimbo & Ken since 1989. I remember visiting the store for the first time when they were located on Federal Street, it was both of them that got me interested in comic books once again. Mr. Greg Eide(R.I.P.) was a great man & comic historian. When I return back home, It is mandatory that I not only shop there, but to always stop in to visit Jim & Ken. Eides Comics & Entertainment is very important part of the history & culture of the City Of Pittsburgh.
Amazing comic book selection, knowledgeable staff
I love this place! Im new in Pittsburgh, and I was so excited when I discovered this store! Its like a Disneyland for movies and comics fans! I really enjoyed it, and Im really going to visit it again so soon! I really need a whole day to explore the variety of movies, comics and all the cool stuff they have! Its really awesome!!!
Great place for comics, music and everything else.
Perfect for the comic book nerd, book worm, science fiction fanatic, and audiophile of any age! Make sure youve got some extra money- a bit on the pricey side but definitely worth it.No restrooms, four floors, some refreshments like soda/chips, they dont allow bags while shopping.
Incredible place. Never been in to a comic store before in my life! Staff was helpful went to look for newer star wars comics and tlj Kylo Ren action figure and the rise of Kylo Ren comics ( all 4 or at LEAST 1 OE 2) But there were zero of any settled for a bunch of other awesome things
Tons of comics old and new, and quite a few collectibles too!
I was visiting Pittsburgh to take an exam and my phone died whilst touring the city. Anxious I came across this place by chance and Ken (the owner) was extremely helpful. He let me stay there till the closing so I could charge my phone and we chatted till I stayed. He even offered some food. Thank you for your kindness Ken. I wish you all the success. You are the best.
Was ignored by cashier. Left because I was disrespected and I believe racism had everything to do with it.
One of the best comic book stores Ive ever been to for back issues. I found everything I was looking for and much more that I want to come back for. While I shopped comics, my sister shopped records. Great stop for collectors of all types.
A real pittsburgh institution.Ive been going there for over 30 years & make it a point to stop in a couple times a month.Comics, records, books collectibles on 4 floors.Great place to spend some time & money.
Store is cool However the staff is extremely unprofessional and rude. Sort of funny to be treated like trash by a bunch of 50 somethings who live in their moms basement and never kissed a woman. Also the staff is Covid crazy and clueless. If you want to be accepted in Eides, dont shower and and wear a bag over your head.
An amazing comic book (and more) store with a huge selection of goods.
Overall, an excellent place to shop for a wide variety of collectible and eclectic items. Their supply of comic books, DVDs, vinyl, figurines, and more is extensive - there are four floors to explore. The pricing on everything is generally very fair - and is competitive with the online market. Many items include standardized condition appraisals that have been, in my experience, accurate and up to expectations.The only reason Im not giving five stars is that this is not the place to go if you are looking for used vinyl from the biggest names - Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, etc. The only inventory Ive ever seen for those types of bands are brand new re-releases of their albums... for $20-40 or more. If you want to get original / used albums from those bands, youll need to go to the Attic, Jerrys or Johnny Angels.Otherwise, a phenomenal place to shop!
Weve never seen anything like this place. The selection and variety is unreal. Comics, LPs, movies, you name it, youll stay busy browsing here.
A lot of stuff but it doesn’t help the customer when they ask about your comic organization system and the owner gets cute and rude especially when they are trying to shop quickly due to limited time before closing. The staff, however, were helpful. Deal with them.
So much cool goodies and all sorts of movies!
I cant stand the Rude slobs that work here. I will spend my money at one the many comic places in Pittsburgh with decent customer service.
A legendary comic/music/movie/just everything awesome you could ever want shop. I went here as a kid with my dad and I go as an adult now in my late 30s. Truly a Pittsburgh classic
This is the best comic book store in Pittsburgh theres 2 floors of all the comics you could ever want an if they dont have them they will order it for you. If you have never been to a comic store this is the one to go to find a comic to enjoy
I love this place! Great prices on all your nerdy pastimes: comic books, movies, video games, and boardgames! Last time I went, I came home with three new videogames, a boardgame, and two comic books!
Ive been going here since 2003. I cherish this than and I still do. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They have some amazing stuff. That i collected when I was a child and things I want now.I make sure to stop atleast one day a week.
Ive always been a fan of eides their service is excellent they have a wide variety of novelty toys posters movies games records and of course comic books baby I recommend it to anyone check it out
27 years ago, I arrived in PGH for my first year of college. I walked into Eides and immediately bought a brown Mr Horndog t-shirt. Later it would become the go to place for my CD collection.Now after all this time I visit and am not disappointed. 4 floors now of nostalgia and odds n ends that you simply cant get anywhere else. Comics, sound equipment, magazines, toys, clothing... If youre in PGH, you need to visit Eides at least once.
Great place to find some of those rare & out of print treasures. Nice collection of comics and merch. Well graded and priced comics. Theyre definitely on my map!
I love this place! The staff is always friendly and helpful. I mostly shop their dollar comics, but will occasionally purchase movies, vinyl, collectible comics and action figures there. They run a anniversary sale every year that I would definitely recommend checking out. Ive been to quite a few shops in other states but Eides is still one of my all time favorite places to shop.
Every time Im visiting family in Pittsburgh, Eides is a must-visit destination. Selection is great - over 3 floors of hard-to-find collectable merchandise, and the staff is helpful and kind!
Eides is a Pittsburgh institution that you must visit! Books, comics, posters, music, movies the list goes on. You can spend hours looking at everything. One of the best shops in the city.
An icon of Pittsburgh, this store has it all for books, music and collectibles. With four floors chock full of one of a kinds and everything in between. I love this place and only hope it sticks around for many more years.
What cant be said about Eides? All of the staff is generally very friendly/pleasant/ in a good mood, incredibly knowledgeable of their sections and can even give recommendations on what you like and the prices are all incredibly fair. The whole building is filled from top to bottom; dollar comics? They got em, Brand new comics? They got em, Action figures and other famous character collectibles? They got em, Films of most genres in used or new dvd; mass produced or boutique versions? They got em, CDs, Vinyl, Cassettes? THEY GOT EM! Go to eides, bring your kids, bring your friends and family and go experience one of the greatest collectible catchall emporiums for yourself!
Awesome place records comic books 4 floors
Impressive selection is an understatement, found stuff I hadnt thought about since forever ago. Now a must visit for us every trip to Pittsburgh.
Their customer service sucks!. The attitude you get when you just as a questions is rude and makes you not want to even look at the merchandise.. then to have signs posted about hiring that actually have condescending remarks in them show you they just dont care... would rather order off Amazon.
They have alot of great stuff. But the staff is extremely rude. I asked for help in locating movies and the guy snapped at me and said find it yourself its easy enough. I wont be going back.
This comic book store is nothing short of mythical. Im not joking. Ive been to a LOT of comic book stores in my life. They are generally awesome places, as they are full of the best kinds of people on the whole, that being people who read comics. I would say 2% of comic book stores are even bad and even then... Theyre trying to get better. Then, 95% is a really good comic book store.But this place. THIS PLACE.This is exactly my basement, except 2000% larger. Its the last 3% ... This place, is LEGENDARY. There might be a million comics in here. AND they have vinyl, video games, action figures, DVDs, VHS, in every cool genre and geeky niche.The people who run it are friendly, conversational, self-deprecating & funny, and they love this place. Everyone should go, even if you dont read or buy comics. Go talk to someone there, tell them what youre into, and let them pick out your perfect book.If you know me, a Philadelphian through and through...I can pass on almost everything Pittsburgh. This place however, makes me actually, honestly, jealous.
Place has new management!! Do not support them. They suck. Everyone that works there are idiots and are rude to everyone. This place was amazing back in the day but now with the new owners it’s horrible!! This place won’t last with the the new owners and how they are running this place. RIP Eids…
A Pittsburgh institution. Great staff & great selections- records, movies, posters & more 👍
I love this place! Ive been coming here since 1996, mostly with my best friend. Great selection of movies, music, collectibles and harder to find items. Great, helpful staff. They also buy and trade. I used to get some of my earlier Godzilla items from here before I got a computer and discovered the world. Even if I left empty-handed, it was worth the short trip from Washington, PA.
The last time I was in this establishment was after Christmas in the Year of our misery 2020. My friend and I had planned to go to this store and financially support it, as it is a local business. I tried to follow prevaling gudelines by wearing a face shield to protect others and initially, we entered the store without a hitch, the cashier being a genuinely good guy overall. No sooner had I begun making my selections when out of the blue, this manager who thought he was Gods gift to the mercantile industry had the nerve to tell me my face wasnt properly covered (as I cant wear an actual mask due to a pre-existing lung condition Ive had for four years). Even as my friend Valerie tried to explain our situation, his holiness refused to even listen to reason: thus, she and I stormed right out of there and went to a more accomodating comics store (whose owners are good friends of mine). Moral of my cautionary tale: be careful how you treat customers irregarding of any current situation. It may bite you back later on...
This place is awesome. Three floors. Loved it. I will be back. Tons of comics. Collectables, figures new and used, reallyCool vintage stuff. Head to the lower level of you are a comic geek and upstairs if you are a movie buff.
Never any free parking over the years. Attitude of staff sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. Back issues should be sorted by alphabet rather than publisher to be easier to locate. Negatives not good for customer base. They buy what you have but dont expect a high percentage. But still, the best place to find comics.
Huge collection of pretty much anything a person would consider collectible. Comics, movies, toys, records... Hell, I even saw some eight tracks! Plenty of fantasy and sci fi art books too.
I just went into eides to see what they had, i had a little bit of money to spend and saw all these 5 star reviews and heard from other people that its a great place to go for anything nerdy, didnt get greeted, not even a hey, or can i help you find something, so i decide okay ill check it out anyway, maybe its just an off day, so i look around, and decide to go downstairs, more of the same, no gretting, i said hello to the man working downstairs, just asks in a rude tone can i help you find anything, i say idk yet, just looking for now, and then i go back to being ignored, i dont understand the hype of this place, sure its got a ton of nerdy stuff, but i am sure it suffers because of horrible customer service, idk, i thought employees were supposed to greet customers, not the other way around
Some of the employees could act a little nicer, but this is one of the best, if not the best, place to buy high grade comics & vinyl records in this part of the country. You will overpay a bit, but the stuff is super clean. Parking on the street is sometimes hard to find, but but usually you will pay no more than $3-5 in that Greyhound parking garage across the street.
Stopped in after noticing it on the street. Amazing selection and prices, especially on their action figures and toys! Could have easily spent the day browsing. Employees were friendly and helpful as well. Satisfied customer who will return next time Im in Pittsburgh.
This place is amazing! 4 floors of collectibles! Comics, books, statues, pops music and so much more. I definitely recommend this place to everyone. So many great finds here. You could spend hours here. The only bad part is there is no public restroom so dont drink anything before visiting.
This was a really cool joint, lots of comics and records to peruse. The only drawback really is, well, it smells exactly like youre guessing it will. Not when watering bad but theres enough of a bo smell to knock one star off.
Yeah, this place does have a large selection of comics and collectibles. However, the staff is the stereotypical gatekeepers of comics. They’ll mock your choices, then tell you that the comic with the standard cover that only came out two days ago is 7x cover price (“Only ‘cause that’s what the idiots on eBay are selling them for” - actual quote from their clerk)If you’re in Pittsburgh and want comics, go to Duncan Comics, Big Bang or New Dimension. They have great inventories, fair prices and pleasant/helpful staff members.
Honest straightforward and a very pleasant experience. Thats probably why they have been around for so long. The only reason to even go to downtown Pittsburgh area
No better source of all things media in downtown Pittsburgh. 4 floors of comics, movies, books, music and toys. My first visit I was brought by my wife and after walking in to the comic and toy bottom floor I told her to leave and pick me up later because this would be awhile. I have found dozens of classic and new items at decent prices, and always see something new whenever I go. Helpful, friendly staff and easy to find location. The city screwed them by putting in a bike lane on their street, making on street parking impossible, but there is a garage across the street.
Ive been coming here since I was 4 Im now 29, but the staff is a hit or miss some are rude some are nice but it really sucks being a customer and have someone being rude to you. They have a great selection but the prices are not a bargain more on the expensive side and I recommend not trading in your stuff here you wont get much. I still occasionally go inside but they need a lesson in hospitality!Update: Will not be coming back!
This was an interesting find with nice selection, multiple floors, and a neat vibe.While the no bag policy (including purses) makes sense to deter theft, it also was moderately off-putting to see so many signs after each corner. Fortunately, the gentlemen on the first floor was more than happy to allow us to store ours with him while we browsed through the store.Prices seemed competitive for some items, and too pricey for others.
What more can be said about Eides a true Pittsburgh institution and must see .. Way more than a comic book store .....multiple floors of DVDs,games , LPs , rare weird books you name it. Amazing posters for sale also. I have been visiting since the early 80s. Don’t be scared off by their famous list of rules they just don’t want people wandering around spilling their lattes on the merch while yakking on their phones. Staff are helpful and knowledgeable.
I walked in on random while I was in Pittsburgh for a conference. It could not have been more awesome. Floors of records, books and comics. A staff that was friendly and knowledgeable, and a great selection of used sci fi books (my favorite!). I got so much stuff that they had to ship it home for me, and they were incredibly helpful through the whole process. The books were packed with great care, and they even wrote a thank you note! I wish I lived in the area, I would shop there all the time. There are not enough stars for my positive experience. MANY THANKS!
Eides has four floors of comics, movies, music, games, books, posters, action figures, and other memorabilia. Theres always something great to find from discounted toys to high-end comics for collectors. The staff is helpful and friendly too.
Such a great little comic store! Lots of merchandise, both old and new, and theres stuff inside to satisfy geeks of any nature. Downstairs is a veritable treasure trove of old comic books, action figures, almost anything imaginable. Prices are usually very fair and the staff is very helpful if engaged. Definitely a place to check out if youre looking for any kind of comic relate material.
This place has everything you can imagine and then some. Worth a stop, with three floors of stuff to look at. Amazing, old collectibles and new.
Eides is just such a staple of the strip district. Ive been going there for years for their comic books and records. One whole floor in the basement is dedicated to comic books while the entry floor is new comics. The third floor is all music and the fourth floor I believe is still record players and whatnot. The basement level also has vintage toys pertaining to comics and movies. What a great shop. Im glad we have it.
Interesting and eclectic shop, downstairs is better than the first floor. Never made it upstairs. Pricing on premium books very steep, actively agaisnt book flippers. Tons of content though, tons.
One of my favorite stores to visit in all of Pittsburgh.Their selection of everything from comics, movies (all the way back to VHS), toys, music etc etc is vast. Prepare to be overwhelmed on your first trip.You can seriously find almost any comic book or movie (even rarities) here and the prices are fine.Only real issue is the occasionally rude staff who will sometimes treat you like youre inconveniencing them by coming into their store.
Been a staple for great vinyl for many years. Friendly staff. The owner is a great guy, friendly and knowledgeable. Awesome place.
Our brief visit left an extremely positive impression. Their was a large selection to peruse, with more downstairs (though we didnt make it that far). I was just passing by with my pre-school child and was hesitant to stop with kid in tow, but the staff were great about it and really made both of us feel welcome in our brief visit. I look forward to returning when I have more time.
While the selection is obviously gigantic, the customer service was non existent. Yes, it is definitely an awesome experience to walk in and be floored as you see comic books upon comic books, the most Ive ever seen in one place, as well as all the action figures I had as a kid in their original boxes. What made me leave Eides with a bitter taste in my mouth was the way I was spoken to while there. The two guys downstairs behind their desks couldnt have cared less that I was there, and when I (a noob in the vast world of comics) tried to ask questions showing my interest, trying to get a feel for what a good series was to get into, I was answered with maybe 4 words, no eye contact. Rolling their eyes as I pulled out my card to pay instead of cash. They were just very short, mildly rude, and completely not what I would have expected from a place that apparently has so much to offer.Listen, I can buy a comic book online if I want to. Its 2013. What I go to a comic book store for is the experience, to be surrounded with material and (hopefully) people that share common interests with you that you could converse with. Stop in, check out their massive collection, and leave. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Phantom of the Attic in Oakland over this place. The comic store as well as the gaming store are both superb, with employees that are engaging and make the experience all the better. Never going back to Eides again.
Eides is a staple of downtown Pittsburgh. 3 floors of awesome stuff from cds, vinyl, comics, magazines, collectibles and a lot more. This was my go to spot years ago for punk and metal albums. Definitely worth stopping in. You could literally spend hours looking through their inventory.
Their selection is fantastic and hard to beat but the costumer service is severely lacking. The workers seem annoyed by all costumer questions and many times when I go I have to hear them complain about other customers. The cashiers complain when you use credit cards, and Ive had this done straight to my face. The comic business is tough and its hard to make money in it, but most other stores Ive seen try to buy good will off returning customers by at least pretending to be friendly. Ill only go here if I know I cant get what Im looking for somewhere else.
This place has a great selection of comics, records, and used books. Typically they are fairly friendly, depending on whos working that day. I would give them more stars, but the last time I called to ask about a new comic release they were short, rude, and hung up on me. Customer service leaves much to be desired.
Called and asked if I could get a quick photo of what the store has in terms of their selection of manga, person on call said No, I cant do that in a really rude manner and just hung up on me.
It was nice, but definitely not the Eides that I remember. The music section would be better if there was a larger selection. However, we did find some great new vinyl and CD s. All at a nice price.
This is my favorite store in the downtown Pittsburgh area, hands down.There are multiple floors full of movies, comic books, music, toys, and anything else you can think of. I snagged a copy of the movie Clerks on laser disc as a collectors item for $1 - Half Price Books would charge $10 or more for that easily. They even had a CD I had been searching out by the band Failure for cheap, and some obscure movies I had been looking for.
Good selection. Open 7 days a week which is nice. (might want to double check that in case hours change(d)Lots of comics. I mean tons, some video games (small selection) collectibles, etc...
The whole store is incredibly well kept and the employees have an incredible knowledge of their trade. I especially liked the comics that were worth thousands of dollars. This place was a highlight of our trip to Pittsburgh.
So I visited this shop and wow it is huge and the stock goes deep. Multiple copies of many key books. Accurately graded properly priced for a comic shop. Allow me to explain what I mean by that. This is NOT a bargain comic shop. You wont find key books hidden that they forgot about. You will pay the market going price on key books. Thats not a bad thing. Comic shops are independent small businesses. They have to get the money when they can on what they can. Now as a super positive they will without a doubt have that hard to find key issue. From the new hipster/speculator got to have deadpool/harley/flavor of the month to the truly rare book that even hardcore collectors have never laid eyes on. I was seriously impressed with the basement floor and I barely scratched the surface. I was there a hour and didnt even leave the basement. There are 4 floors to this store. The other floors contain mostly albums (again I didnt see it but someone with us did and he was equally impressed with their selection) and Action figures. Another person with us went up there and again said he barely scratched the surface. If youre a collector then this is a shop not to miss. The only negative I had was the overall comic book guy feel to the place. The staff were not rude they just werent friendly. I had to lay heavy comic nerd knowledge down before the person checking me out livened up a little. The shop isnt in the best part of town. There was a homeless guy with Nike Airs on and a galaxy s7 panhandling out front so they may be a bit jaded but I could have just caught the staff of 5 on the wrong day.
A great place to find old collectibles
Great selection of comics, videos, and music!If you want any of the above in Pittsburgh , or your looking for that comic/band/show that is hard to find, there is a good selection here. It does have some urban policies like no change without purchase and bags are to be left up front. I dont like being called a thief because I have a bag, hence only 4 stars.
Drop in here every time I come to PGH. Never disappointed and always leave with more than I expected. Great place to find some hidden gems especially if you dont mind paroozing all the floors or asking the helpful staff.
They have quite the selection of everything. Lots of neat old stuff too
The store itself is pretty cool, its split into 3 levels the bottom floor is cards and etc the very top floor is CDs and thats what brought me into check the place out and their selection was not that great and they were pretty pricey for what they did have. There might be some hidden gems of records but if you want CDs I wouldnt go here.
The shop has a good supply of back issues, but the one thing that makes me not recommend this business to anyone, especially collectors, is that they put price tags on the actual comic book covers. That is a horrible practice. For those that dont have stickers on them, they write prices on the back.Whats worse is their practice of charging cover price for back issues.For these reasons, I can not recommend this business.
Was looking for 4 Flash books and they had them. I do not live anywhere close to their store, but I called and they gave me a great deal and shipped out the same day!!! Package arrived perfect!! They really know comics and how to properly ship them. The folks in the phone were incredibly polite and helpful! Thank you so much Eides Entertainment!!!!!
Took my youngest son there during our trip to Pittsburgh. We went in and the first floor was good. A lot of new comics, DVD/Blu-ray, tons of $1 comics. It wasn’t until we were about to leave when the guy behind the counter told us about the other THREE floors!! Basement was loaded with more figures and tons of comics. 2nd floor was full of movies. We found two movies we hadn’t been able to find anywhere else. 3rd floor was full of records, CDs and vinyl.We were also told the store had been there for 50 years. Amazing.Don’t miss this shop if you’re in the area!!!!
Words cant even describe how great this store is. All the people who work here are exrta friendly. It feels like home and i have yet to go to a comic/media store that made me feel like Eides has. I see why people put this on their list of places to stop when in Pittsburgh.
Classic Pittsburgh comics shop. HUGE selection of gold/silver age -- long boxes for days. Mainstream and indie books. Fair prices. Welcoming, knowledgeable staff really cares about their customers. And YES they have Cathair Apocalypse!
Four floors of incredible memorabilia that shocked me when I walked in for the first time visiting from Cleveland. The second floor of movie/tv items was especially awesome and the prices are great. Will definitely come back next time.
I happened by Eides while exploring Pittsburgh on a road trip. They have the biggest selection of comics and records Ive ever seen! I spend hours browsing their selection and had a great conversation with one of the staff about all the awesome Metal vinyls they had.
I went it looking to buy $50 in Comics, but left buying $200 in comics. Great selection.
Amazing store for movies (lost of Criterion Collection). Seemed really good for comics, graphical novels, records, etc. - though Im not up to date on such areas.Also, place is huge! So many things!
3 floors of entertainment. Comics, toys, movies, games, music. Both new and used. Trade-ins welcome on many items. Stop in and enjoy!
Best selection of industrial music Ive seen in a long time; besides in Berlin. Good place to find some rare stuff & a nice place to get vinyl, vhs, and other formats of music & movies. They also have comic books.
I drive into Pittsburg from Columbus, OH from time to time to visit this store. The best store I have ever been to for Comic Books, Action figures, Movies, Music, or just cool Stuff. My kids always look forward to the trip as well. If you are looking for something hard to find or unique, then check these guys out!
Went in today with kids to introduce them to comics shops. The staff acted like it was an inconvenience to answer questions. When my three year old had to use the restroom, we were told he could go find a parking stall in the garage across the street.Most shops I go to realize customer service is the only reason they still exist. I wanted to get the back issues of Fight Club 2 at full price and show my kids how cool comic shops can be. Instead I was snubbed, ridiculed, and told to piss outside.I preordered Fight Club 2 on Amazon today.
Have been going there since the 80s n is the best record/toy store in the city
I cannot say enough negative things about the staff at this place. They are rude and completely useless. The two basement staff in particular are 100% ridiculous. Ive gone in a few times and its always the same 2 working (a large women and her cohort both equally as pathetic). You walk downstairs and if you DARE ask them a question and interrupt whatever it is they are browsing on the internet (and its never job related computer work) you are met with short condescending answers.Dont get me started on the owner. He couldnt care less if you shop there or not. Ive met with him twice and its the same thing as all others. How DARE you ask them any questions. They are the reason why these types of stores get stereotyped. If i could give half stars I would.So in short. Shop somewhere else or use the internet. These guys sell at TOP ebay prices on EVERY item and you are then met with disgraceful service while you are doing it. Use amazon and ebay because you are sure paying amazon and ebay prices. And as a bonus buying online you do not have to deal with the horrible service that Eides staff offers you in return.
If youre looking for comics or records, and you want to be treated like garbage, then Eides is your place. Ive been here on three different occasions, and I havent been impressed with their customer service skills. During our last trip, my husband was told that his lower offer on a comic (in poor condition) wouldnt be considered because he was only spending a certain amount of money.I get it. Youre a small business and you have to make money. But to tell someone flat out, oh, youre only spending $xx? Then no, we cant do that. is just poor business practice. You would think that employees at a place like this would embrace customers who want to learn more about comic books or records. Not here. Helpfulness, kindness and sharing in excitement would keep me coming back, but unfortunately, I will not be back at Eides.
Absolutely incredible selection of records, and comic books if youre into that as well. Definitely worth checking out, especially if youre from out of town. Staff is hilarious and extremely helpful.
Great place for all your collectible and entertainment needs. Massive inventory, and all around fun place to check out. No 5th star from me due to the open political discussion between staff in front of customers.
This is a go to stop for me whenever I am in Pittsburgh. Four floors of sweet nerd stuff; action figures, comic books, great selection of VHSs... VHSes...? I was actually able to look thought MULTIPLE The Cure posters on the top floor! Lost a star because a few of the shopkeepers are the most miserable people on earth. You would think they work in a puppy killing factory with their attitude.
Located where downtown Pittsburgh meets the strip district, Eides Entertainment has three full floors of quality new and used pop culture collectibles, records, dvdd, movie and concert posters, books, and comics. If you cant find it at Eides just ask them. The staff is happy to help. Parking available on street or in nearby paid parking lots.
I love stopping at Eides when Im in Pittsburgh. I mainly go there to buy heavy metal CDs, but I know they have a wide selection of other music, movies, comics, and games. I always end up killing a bunch of time there. Staff has always been friendly.
They have everything you need to scratch your comic book itch and more. They have the recent releases shelf and an extensive back-issue section. Lastly, when I ask the people comics questions, the people behind the counter know what they are talking about; their fanboys & fangirls, just like you.
I have been going to this comic book shop for quite some time now. I can say that i always get a fair price on my purchases and the employees are very nice and helpful. I dont think that the people that work there are being properly portrayed through these reviews. I have always had helpful and kind interactions with them. I have witnessed them (at times) get peeved at some customers, but with good reason. When the filthy normie-causals go into the store and ask really stupid questions or an excess of them , the employees should get rather annoyed. They are there to run the store and are often very busy doing so. The occasional question about a product or the store is never met with hostility. However, when someone goes up to the counter and just bombards the workers with twenty questions about an issue of a comic book they should get agitated. If you want to know about the stuff dont be lazy , do your research before going into the store, dont blame the employees for your ignorance.(response to other reviews) Going in ther on free comic book day and expecting to get the first issue of spiderman to have the rino in it for free is your fault and you shouold be treated like a fool for thinking so. Not employees fault. Also, dont bring annoying three yeasr olds in there that ask a million stupid questions about stuff they dont understand. You would not go into a food store and ask the cashier to tell you about all the different types of oranges they sell and which ones are best kept at 12 degrees. One last thing, who writes a negative review about not being able to use the elevator? elevators in small stores like that are seldom for customer use. There are like twenty steps between each floor, if you cant mange that, maybe you should just not leave your house. Dont blame the employees for getting mad when somebody uses store equipment without asking. 10/10 ESTABLISHMENT
If they dont have what you want, they can probably get it. Tons of older comic books for a $1. Figurines, shirts, magnets, bumper stickers, etc. Great place to get ideas.
Best pop colture shop in the world
Great store. Been going there since I was a kid
Outstanding store. I spent an hour here and it wasnt enough. A must stop when I visit Pittsburgh again.
Very large and unique selection of collectable gifts and music 🤩🎶
I used to like this place until I met the piece of trash who runs the place. For the first 20 minutes I was there, he followed me around stating at me like I was about to Rob the place even though my backpack was behind the front counter. I even heard him mention me to an employee and point at me when he thought I couldnt see him(or maybe knew I could) After some time perusing one of the book sections, the guy comes up to me and simply says Im wearing out my welcome and asks me If Im even going to buy anything. Needless to say, I dropped the stack of items I had planned to purchase and left. I wont be back again. The cashiers are great guys but the boss or owner or whatever is apparently as holier than Ill ever be so he can keep his comics to himself and Ill keep my money. I dont see how someone can build a successful business around the notion that its okay to treat the customers who fuel his store as if they werent even people worthy of respect.
Huge! 4 floors pack full of cool stuff, vinyl, cds, movies, comic books, and collectibles. Definitely recommend stopping and checking it out if your in the area.
I remember my mom driving me to their grand opening at their present location 19 years ago and I still get a smile on my face every time I go there. My absolute favorite store!
4 floors of geek! Staff is friendly and effectively have phd s in comics.Walk in and describe what kind of stories you like and theyll find the perfect one for you
Had set of rules for customers to follow. (Takes your bag/ no talking on phones unless it concerns a purchase) Not friendly about it. How they have been successful in running a business for this long is impressive.
I had a wonderful experience. i was on a date and i think it was a perfect spot. lots of cool things. my only regret is that i didnt leave with more!😊👍🤙
Kenny is very fair when buying or trading from you, sometimes you even get offered more than your expecting and the variety of merchandise is outstanding!
Bought the lady a baby Yoda here, would recommend
Really cool store! They have an amazing selection of art magazines, vintage movie posters, records, and now theres vintage stuff in the ground level too!!
Im a mild comic book fan. I originally (and still) visit Eides for the music ten years ago. However as time has gone on, their music selection has waned (and prices have risen). However they now have a great selection of books...and tons of comics and action figures of course. Four levels of stuff. Definitely enough to keep you occupied for several hours.For music, I give Eides three stars...even two maybe. But theyre huge selection of comics and related memorabilia sort of trumps that.
Great team of employees along with a wide selection of comics, toys and collectables.
Three floors of stuff you couldnt find lying around just anywhere. Comics, action figures, band posters, vinyls, cds, and movies. Check it out i only wish they were open later but the place rules.
An institution. This place is packed with all types of physcial media. The staff always knows what is there and where to find it. Good prices. Plan to spend hours here.
Great deals. Wide variety of comics, figures, and collectables. I went in during their anniversary sales and ended up with well over 60% off original price
Best Comic shop in the Multiverse. Hands down. Also, check out the vinyl, movies, books and much more!
Great store for their variety and most everyone working there is very pleasant. Decent pricing on most items as well
Four floors of comics, memorabilia, and geek culture in one building! Could spend hours on each floor. Very organized inventory and helpful staff.
Alot of awesome stuff here
Most authoritative comic store in the city of Pittsburgh. Guys can be a bit Comic Book Guyish, but its a comic book store, what do you want? All you need to know; you want the newest volume of Saga? They got it. You want to flesh out your New Universe or Vanth Dreadstar collections? They got what you need. They even have what people expect out of comic stores these days, i.e.; memorabilia, collectibles, music, dvds/blu ray, and video games.
There is so much stuff here. toys, comics, records, movies. but the comics in the cases in the basement. oh my gawd. so many clean books. I definitely dont have enough money for this hobby!
Lots and lots of old school comics, upstairs and downstairs. You can browse for hours. DEFINITELY a lot to choose from.
One of my old comic haunts from the 80s is still going strong! Great store for comics, cards, and other collectables!! Took my daughter here and she loved it!
A comic shop and more. a local favorite to get books. this place is huge and you need to take a few hours to even see 1/3 of what they have in here. good knowledgable staff and willing to help you find that book you need to comlete your collection.
Me and my younger cousin have been getting so many blue rays and funko pops here . I LOVE IT!
Great shop. Great finds.
Fun place to visit, they have every comic book, movie, and record imaginable as well as a reasonably priced assortment of MTG sets. Well worth a visit.
*Some* prices were a little high and dont plan to stay longer than your bladder can hold (no public restroom). But, the selection & organization is great.
Fun place with tons of old movies, music, magazines, books, toys and other things. Employees have always been friendly to me and have helped me to find what Im looking for at a fair price.
Only visited once due to my work schedule. Need to explore more on next visit.
FAVORITE! great selection and always good helpful service about items!!! Lots of new and used vinyl. Usually find movies for my collection here.
Good selection varying from records, movies, comics, and other collectibles. There was an unfriendly vibe from the minute I walked in. Very strict rules with phones and bags and unpleasant employees.
They had their selection well organized. It was cool to see the variety offered. I will definitely be returning next time i make it to Pittsburgh
Came across this terrific shop with a great selection of music including some nice vintage lps from the 60s and 70s. If your looking for the obscure, this is the place to be. Comics....All I can say is WOW!! Found an old Spiderman for a fair price. Ive seen it higher at shows. This will be a goto spot the next visit to PGH
As soon as I walked in I was not greeted like every other shop I go travel to. The cashier (older man) flirting with older female I thought just a wife visiting or something just ignoring me as I stood there waiting to see how long he breaks away from unrelated job task of hitting on someone. took about 4 minutes. Then his answer was unsure but Look over there and right back to the girl. Untill her actual husband came over and purchased his books. As I was browsing I did notice a Large selection of books and neat displays and then a LARGE man came out and started screaming at the Romeo that stuff wasnt finished, etc, etc. On the way out I stopped to ask on other information and I got very condecending remarks with no eye contact from workers and just over all poor customer service. Not a store that should be in business if those are the people they have working. Need younger, more polite staffing.
Multi-story comic book and pop culture store, a little cluttered, making hard to find stuff unless you know the store layout. But, a great little gem of a store.
Exceptional collection with knowledgeable and friendly staff.
Great selection and great customer service. If they dont have what you looking for. They can order it.
Very cool place. Tons of stuff from comics to books to movies to records. Make sure you hit all four floors!
Visited DVD area on 2nd floor. Friendly staff - over 10,000 DVDs and vhs and even used items in stock. You can spend the whole day there. Tremendous collection of video.
Truly like the fact that it is 4 floors of comic books, pop culture, etc... Definitely, recommend checking this place out in case anyone have not done so.
Great music, video and comics/books selections/very near everything downtown/3 story building with basement too/across from Greyhound Bus Station/very close to Pittsburgh Convention Center,Amtrak Station &Port Authority Busway/pays fair market value for some things/doesnt buy too many music CDs, likes heavy metal best/nice selection of vinyl records/quite a big selection of comics/magazines/big selection of DVDs/Blu-rays, some VHS/also buys and sells some collectibles, especially comic/superhero related
Great selection of comics, graphic novels, and action figures
Huge selection of every kind of multimedia you could possibly imagine. Plan to spend several hours here.
Great place. Polite staff
I have been here twice and disliked it both times. The selection is huge but I have never met a staff that was so rude in my life. I honestly think they hate customers.
Great selection of just about anything you can think of! The staff is friendly and super helpful. Cant wait to shop here again.
I have never been to a store ran by a bigger bunch of assholes in my whole life. Id feel better having abandoned hygiene for a week and going to a Ferrari dealer.
Very large, well stocked shop. Every time I am in Pittsburgh I visit to stock up. Friendly staff.
Theyre always very nice whenever I come in which is about once a week now that I have a pull list. Everyone is very helpful and they have everything I want when I go.
Love getting collectables from here....
Huge selection of vintage and new pop culture ephemera. Great bargains and rarities. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
There is simply no other place like it. Ken, Jim and crew will carry on the dream. Great place, great people. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
4 floors of awesomeness!
Love this place! Make sure you have hours to look around, 4 floors to dig up memories and buy great stuff.
Lots of decent novels and comics...old VHS movies as well...Found LPs from eons ago...wonderful, collectible memories here...
It is a nice place to walk through located in the strip district.
The best all around entertainment store. Especially for comics Golden age to modern
This place is beyond awesome!! The people that work there, to the inventory. Very decent prices too better than what you could find online.
A PGH landmark store! People travel across states to go here. Great selection and prices on music, books, movies, comics, action figures and collectables.
If you walk into Eides to browse and leave without making a purchase, then you are not a real aficionado of all things collectable. I lose time in this store...and I love that!
3 floors of pure collectible awesomeness. It brought back all of my memories of visiting as a kid. Glad I could share with my kids.
You could get lost in Eides. 4 floors of everything media and comic book. I highly recommend exploring even if youre not looking for something specific.
This place is huge! probably the biggest comic book room I have ever seen.
Best comic book shop in Pittsburgh! I was so excited to take my boyfriend, who is from new york, to check it out.
Great shop. Lots of new and old comics. Not a large selection of mangas though. Anyway I recommend it
Very large selection of comics and classic toys. Found my son a transformer he was looking for $10 cheeper than Ebay
Best comic book store in the city. Lgbt friendly. Knowledgable staff. Something for everyone. My favorite place to stop.
Great selections. Masks are mandatory. Staff are gloved and masked.
Never disappointed when shopping here. Would recommend EVERYONE take a trip here and enjoy all they have to offer.

2022-04-11Dope place. Chill vibes with A LOT of comics and good prices. Some very unique and vintage pick-ups I managed to find. The pictures I posted are just a fraction of what I snagged. They have a variety of different collectibles, not just comics so check it out if you’re a geek like me and you’re in the area.

2022-08-07I was surprised to find such a nice stire for comics and DVDs and collectables. They have the store nicely organized with their 4 floors. And they have a wide variety of prices, for instance they have used comics starting at $1 ang going up for the better quality and higher grade comics.Besides comics they have records and DVDs and posters, etc.
Review №3
2022-08-06This was a very nice store for comics, movies, etc. I didnt expect it to be 4 floors.It has been a long time since seeing a comic store that had a large selection of older comics. They had a large collection of comics at different prices, depending on their quality and what the issues were. They had prices from $1 and higher.

2022-06-09Ever since new ownership has taken over after Greg Eide passed away, the vibe of the store is way more relaxed. The employees can be gruff, but they genuinely love what they do.Ive found so many cool treasures here. I love this place!

2022-08-05This is THE classic Pittsburgh collectible store. I try to go there every time I go to Pittsburgh. They have a deep comic and movie collection including posters, toys, books, records, CDs, everything! I can always find the classic Marvel horror comics Im looking for and invariably I find something that I didnt know existed. Shopping is separated into floors depending on what youre looking for. Their collection of horror movie mags draws me like a forbidden star! My wallet is the only victim.

2022-04-05Good selection of comics, and used trades. Occasionally things would have a strangely high markup, but overall a good visit. Especially if you like searching for single issues you might not have.

2022-04-23Best comic shop in The Burgh. And maybe the planet. Amazing back-issue inventory! Its rare that I cant find some specific but obscure book Im for looking for. The staff knows their stuff!
Review №8
2022-04-04Awesome comic book shop! 3 floors of comics! Fewer toys, but some really cool vintage horror stuff, some collectable village pieces. Lots of movies, records, CDs... They even have snacks and beverages! Something for everyone at this shop.
Review №9
2022-07-19Eides is an awesome place to visit if you love any kind of media. They have 4 floors, each focusing on either DVDs, BluRay, comic books, collectibles, CDs, and records. When I was there, their videogame selection was very small, but it wasnt disappointing in the slightest considering how much of everything else they had. If youre a nerd, youll love this place.
Review №10
2019-11-08Three levels. Absolutely massive selection. The volume of product in the store is incredible. Huge oversized section of $1 loose unsorted comic books from the 80s and 90s on the main level. Lower level has a very complete and very extensive back issue collection. They seem to have absolutely everything. Upstairs has a very respectable vinyl selection but you won’t necessarily find any bargains over other stores prices for new LPs. This is the kind of place if you are visiting from out of town reserve a minimum of an hour so you can relax and explore provided the main owner will stop asking you questions every five minutes!!!
