This place is a Nerd Valhalla. This shop focuses mostly on TCG, table top, a ton of memorabilia and collectibles and most importantly Pinball! All the employees and staff are super nice and friendly. You won’t find your typical toxic nerd here. But instead a great group of people. It’s a great store for all ages even if your not into nerd culture it’s a cool store to walk around and check out all the pop culture collectibles. I wish they had a bigger comic section but there’s plenty of other shops where u can get that. This store is definitely a must visit.

Fantastic group of guys that work there. Really funny and nice. Got really good prices on some old Pokemon cards. They also have a whole lot of stuff to look at, not just cards, but D&D books and other games. I was kinda like a kid in a candy store looking around.

An amazing place with amazing staff. Sensory overload from the minute you walk in. A table top game-lovers paradise. Need any collectible card games. Boom!! Comics both new and back issues. Boxes and boxes. Action figures, toys and statues. You are gonna need a second job because they have so much that you are going to want. Finally bring your quarters and be sure not to tilt. Pinball games both old and new. Tons of fun!!! Highly recommended. Say hi to Joe for me.

Excellent comic & card shop. Lots of collectibles. Pinball machines on floor, back room and gamers room on lower level. Pinball leagues are now active.

Hands down the best card shop within an hours range of driving. Coolest owner possible, amazing selection, games of all kinds. Truly an amazing experience. True to their hours as well. Wish they carried yugioh as well but either way. If you want a great environment with even better people, come here

Best deals for trading in cards in my experience. Good values on all cards, d&d, and has events going on again now. They have a lot of items in stock that I cant find at other shops, and have an awesome collection of comics and collectibles in general. Love this place!

I really enjoy going to collectible stores like Kidforce and really dont have a problem with this business. I am kinda of the middle of the road on this review because Kidforce carries a lot of collectible games, comic books, various franchise collectibles, and have some pinball machines with are really fun to play and I am kinda an old school pinball gamer. Just a few suggestions to remember. Not every one is into Star Wars and some folks are into Star Trek instead. One recommendation would be to carry some Star Trek memorabilia. Another suggestion would be to lower the prices on some the items to give people a better deal on what they are buying and can generate business that is both good for the company and the customers. The final suggestion would be to find a way to create more parking. There really is not enough up in front of the store and the other business will not let you park in their lots and they will tow your car on top of that as well and you might be charged with a ticket as well.

A great selection of pinball machines.

Im several counties away and couldnt get to the store, in person, and Joe not only sold me the item I was looking for but he mailed it in pristine order with lightning fast quickness. Excellent communication, and very nice people, too! Highly recommended.

Awesome shop. Super friendly staff and Joe is great. Doesnt overprice things. always has great options for cards and accessories.

Joe is amazing. Don is Little sketchy. I highly recommend getting a drink next door at front st social then play some pin ball at kid force. It’s fantastic for kids!

Nice selection of both cards and collectibles. Tons of Funko and Action Figures. Variety of Comics and movie posters. If youre into MTG or tabletop gaming you need to look no further. This place has what youre looking for so stop in and check them out. Will definitely be returning.

One word to sum up my experience in Kidforce Collectables - Unbelievable. And I mean that in a good way! Just recently I had some magic the gathering cards I was looking to part with, and was feeling down in the dumps after getting repeatedly lowballed both online and locally. On a whim, I thought to stop into Kidforce. “Last stop at the end of a long road” I thought to myself. My mood was immediately changed when I walked into the brightly lit shop. I was immediately greeted by an extremely attractive fellow named Joe, who I would come to find out through lengthy dialogue that he was the store owner. We ended up talking for a while about our mutual love for Star Wars (the new trilogy). When I showed him my magic the gathering cards I was looking to part with, he gave me an extremely fair and competitive rate. I couldn’t be happier. If you are in the trading cards, comics, or pinball world please make sure you do business with Kidforce and it’s handsome and intelligent owner.

Absolutely the place to go for trading cards and friendship. A great crew and a selection that is unrivaled locally

Love this place, has a good variety of products and comics, I play the pinball machines fairly regularly. Its kind of cramped though.

Best game store around for all your mtg needs. Joe and his staff ate very helpful and make coming to the store a pleasant and fun expierence. Great prices, great finds, great games, oh and dont forget pinball!

This store is awesome the staff is nice and if you like d&d it is the place to go for minis and add ons and stuff.

The owner and his staff are friendly and attentive without being oppressive. Their sealed prices are very reasonable as well. Theres so much product from all facets of collectibles that its hard to imagine a business in the west Cleveland area that could ever trump them on being the premier spot for this kind of business. The one downside is theyre pretty firm and somewhat unreasonable on their trade offers with MTG compared to my interaction with Warzone and Freedom Gaming. I realize Freedom is a drive for anyone not needing to go that far away, but I generally prefer one of the other two when it comes to trades and only use Kidforce when convenient. Having said that, Id recommend them to anyone in need of MTG products while getting great service.

Horrible experience here with my family!! Joe & his staff were extremely rude. Never greeted us or asked if we needed help. He watch my family and I the whole time. We were going to buy a few things but they will never get our money. Half of your reviews are about bad service, fix your attitude and maybe your business will be better.

Had a great time playing a extensive variety of pin balls and a board game. They also have a great variety of those. Great day spent in Berea and at this great shop.

I absolutely love this place. It has a little bit of everything for everyone. Comics, toys, pinball, board games, collectibles, and my favorite magic the gathering cards. It really is a one stop shop. I’ve known the owner Joe for quite some time now and this place has become one of my favorite places to visit. Ya never know what you might find in the treasure trove. Highly recommend anyone to pay a visit. It might become your favorite new place.

Pinball machines tremendous here. Great league. Great people. I joined league 7 years ago, and have made some of the best friends there that I have ever known. Thank you to Joe and Don for running an incredible store, league, and keeping truly amazing staff around. Incredible selection in collectibles, and a cute dog to pet every once in a while.

Awesome selection of Magic the Gathering and tons of fun collectibles on display. Staff was very helpful and friendly!

Rude staff, didn’t receive any help. Only wanted to help the people he knew. Better off shopping online. Amazon has everything in that store anyway.

This is my favorite place to go for Star Wars. Vintage/modern/obscure they have it all! Great prices and great knowledge, I never leave empty handed! 100% recommend if you’re in the market to add to your collection.

Got a Mezco Spider-Man for great price. Very happy

Kidforce is THE place in Cleveland for comics, toys, games and so much more! Not to mention pinball! So much pinball. I drive over 250 miles several times a year to stop by and see Joe and his staff. They are fantastic, always willing to help, and even order anything you need. If you’re in the neighborhood, stop in sometime and check it out.You won’t regret it!

So fun here!! Something for everyone!! Toys from every era and so much to see!! Well definitely be back!

Absolute favorite local game store, have been going for the majority of my life and have no plans of stopping! The staff is always friendly and helpful, their prices are totally reasonable (and well beyond that during their plentiful sales) and their events and tournaments are wonderful. I could not recommend them any more highly.

Super awesome store and great experience. I highly recommend. The owner even went out of his way to send me something related to my focus in collecting. Very happy with my experience here.

This place is pretty sweet! I love how it just covers all of your geek or nerd wants and needs. :-) I went to check out the magic the gathering selection and also found myself ready to play some pinball as well and look at some of the collectibles they offer. This is a one stop shop for your geek fandom on multiple levels. Check them out!! I will be back!

Awesome place! Owner is a real nice guy and super helpful! Love stopping in to check out what all is there and play a bunch of pinball

Absolutely love these guys. Great store and always fair pricing.Love when they do the online stream and crack packs people bought.Lots of fun!

This place is awesome. Amazing mix of old and new toys and a fabulous staff to boot. I was in the store about a year ago and was looking for some lightsabers. Joe the owner gave me his business card and was able to track down two pieces I was in need of for my collection. It’s rare to find a great shop like this not only in a small town but anywhere in the US

One of the best gaming stores around.

All I can say is WOW! After many months of tirelessly hunting down stickers from various garage sales, smaller stores, Facebook marketplace and similar places, I was ready to give up in my hunt. I consider myself a very elite sticker collector, and there was just no venue that could see to my demanding needs. On a whim, I decided to visit Kidforce Collectables, located at 103 Front St, Berea, OH 44017. I walked in, held hung low not expecting a change of fortune. To my surprise, I entered a bright and cherry room filled with happy faces. I was greeted by an EXTRAORDIARYILY handsome fellow named Joe, who turned on to be the store owner. Joe knew just as much about stickers as I did, which suffice to say is a very impressive feat. We ended up chatting for hours about stickers, star wars, and other geeky things like Magic the Gathering and our mutual passion for finger skating. I left with a bag full of stickers, my spirits lifted, and a renewed vigor to continue collecting stickers. Ill summarize my review with this - I highly recommend you take a look at Joes extremely large and wide collection. It might just change your life.

Kidforce is the gem of Berea. One of the best collectible stores around hands down. They have everything from comics, figures, and apparel. They host fantastic events and the staff is great. Also they host the best pinball league in Ohio! It’s your one stop shop for fun!

Joe runs a great shop. Very clean and well-run; fair pricing and a solid inventory of games and cards. The whole place has a very fun gaming atmosphere and Ive enjoyed my shopping and playing experiences there. 5/5!

Great place. Great owner. Great staff. Great place for comic books and collectibles, Magic the Gathering, D&D supplies, board games, funko pops, Star Wars collectibles and pinball. I have been frequenting Kidforce Collectibles for several years, and have made many good friends here. Thank you for what you bring to the community!

Joe and the rest of staff at Kidforce Collectibles are extremely friendly, trusting and knowledgeable which makes for a great atmosphere inside the store. They have a great selection of Magic and Pokemon packs and single cards. I have always had a good experience while in there and highly recommend it.

Joe and his team always take good care of me. You can message them a list of cards and they are waiting when you get there. Prices are fair and accurate. The live events, when we can have them, are always a good time. There is a nice play space for Magic events. Prerelease is always a good time at Kidforce and Joe turns it into a real event. During downtime there are a ton of pinball machines.

Kidforce is one of the very best comics and collectibles stores in Ohio! They have everything a geek would want —- cool board games, posters and shirts, Funko Pops, collectible figures, rare Magic cards, pinball machines and yes, great comics. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable as well. Give it a try... you’ll soon be a regular!

Fantastic store, and amazing staff. It helps you feel like a kid again, with all the comics, collectibles, pinball machines, and so much more. Words don’t do it justice, it’s a must visit. Bonus, it’s located smack dab in the middle of downtown Berea. Spend the day here, you won’t be disappointed 👍🏼👍🏼

On street parking is a headache since it is in Bereas traffic-heavy doowntown.

It was ok my first time there. But I show up for a draft on Wednesday, looking at their website showing it starts at 7. Apparently they dont use their website and its actually starting at 6:30. Waste of my time and will not be returning. Dont use their website and hopefully they update/remove it before they screw someone else over.

Kidforce is the best pinball and comic spot in the Cleveland area. Joe knows everything about collectibles, be it toys, games, cards you name it, he knows it. The rest of the staff is friendly, inviting and knows their stuff too. Trust your nerd needs to KFC.

Brings out the kid in me! Great options of different action figures.

Ten minutes... All it took was 10 minutes of being in the store for me to feel like I was welcomed into a community... Whether its comics, board games, pinball, or trading card games theres a place for you. Novice or experienced the staff is just as friendly and just as helpful.Theres a reason that Kidforce is as much a store as it is a hangout...

Great staff and amazing atmosphere!

Home away from home for this pinball enthusiast. Our whole family enjoys the friendly and welcoming environment and staff at Kidforce. We’ve enjoyed taking many friends there as well. Lucky to have this unique business in Berea.

Kidforce Collectibles is hands down the best local game store (LGS) Ive ever visited. The staff is fantastic and they have an incredible selection of products. If you like comics/games/pinball, you have to stop by!

This place is spectacular. Ower is great, staff is great, prices are great. Did my first draft there and answered any questions I had without making me feel out of place. Not just cards and comics. They have collectables, graphic novels, vast assortment of tabletop games and more. My wife and kids love going in with me and get mad when I dont take them with me. Long live kid force!

Amazing service, helped me multiple times when I go in looking for specific comic books

A few days ago was my first time there, so this is my first impressions. And I went there for magic, so thats primarily what I can speak to (although I will say the amount of pinball machines they have is quite impressive).I went there for a magic prerelease. The employee and the shop owner were very, very nice and friendly. And for the typical price of a pr, they throw in a voucher for a bag of chips and a drink, which made a great impression on me as I know these magic events takes many hours. A gesture like this can offset hunger and fatigue which makes the experience more enjoyable and I think more LGSs should do this.The basement was decently spacious and can hold a high number of people for tournaments. There is ventilation, although rather weak. There is not much of an offensive smell however, at least not today with 32 players.The prerelease was ran promptly and orderly. The number of rounds and prize breakdowns was posted early. People that dropped early was still able to claim prizes. They gave away several random door prizes such as deck boxes or sleeves which I found awesomely generous, especially for an event of 32 people.The players I met there were friendly. The card selection there is absolutely phenomenal. Ive never seen a LGS with so many dual lands, masterpieces, high value foils, and any card you want for standard or eternal formats. They also had a huge selection of mtg booster packs at reasonable prices as well.If you want a good Magic lgs, this is a special gem for the Cleveland area. Really great first impressions and I see myself coming back often.

If you haven’t been, what are you waiting for? Comics, board games, figures, pinball and more. Topped off with great service. Love them!

Best collectibles store I’ve been to. The owner and employees are awesome!!! Very competitive pricing. Always look forward to going here.

Great place to get Magic the Gathering cards and supplies. Very friendly staff.

I havent played any games or been in the store for about a year but this is the best store around hands down and the owner is great! Go there!! If you love Star Wars its practically a tourist destination 😁

Great local gaming store with a wide array of board games, magic cards, and comic books. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Kidforce is one of those places you just have to see for yourself. Whether you are into Magic the Gathering and CCG’s, board games, toys, collectible figures and statues, comics, or even playing pinball, they have it all here. Make sure you bring sufficient funds because there is going to be lots you want to purchase.

Went in to look at vintage star wars. Items were way over priced. Simply asked if he could do any better on prices and all he would say was Market dumb and not even speak to me like a person. Just kept repeating Market dumb. He was using ebay listed prices not sold prices to figure out his price. I wouldnt buy from this guy if his stuff was half price at this point! Complete jerk!

Ive stopped in here a couple times and decided to leave a review. The only nice thing was getting a greeting at the door and even after that I wasnt asked if I needed help or what I was in there to shop for. The store is very small and even with covid regulations in place, it is still very cramped at times. The comic section is very jammed pack with books just barely sitting on the shelves and the books below are just jammed in there. I was looking for a book in particular and when I found 2 copies of it, they were both damaged. It had creases near the middle from other customers or even employees bending them down to look for other covers. Youd think you would mark it down or not display it at all. You can tell the comic section doesnt get the TLC it deserves when theres comics marked up to above cover price and it doesnt even match what people are selling on Amazon or Ebay. The first time I came in, i was informed of the weekly or monthly pull list. Gave my information and never received any info or spreadsheet to start a pull (Glad I didnt). Definitely can say I wont be making anymore short drives to your business. Ill make the extra trip for better customer service and to be able to purchase non-damaged and reasonably priced comics.

One of the friendliest shops in the Cleveland area! We come here to play pinball on the regular and you cant ask for a better selection or a nicer staff. Joe and his shop are an essential addition to Berea.

Awesome selection and amazing staff. This is my favorite Toy store. So much so that for my birthday (24) my girlfriend took me here and cut me loose with $100. She said “happy birthday, ya big idiot, go buy your Star Wars toys”. And buy Star Wars toys did I. If you are looking for toys, collectibles, cards, comics, or an overall great time, check this place out.

Friendly and helpful staff. One of the largest selections of magic and pokemon cards in the area. Great place to play games and pick up gaming supplies.

Narrow selection, higher prices than other stores I visit. Not rude, but not particularly friendly or welcoming if youre not a regular.

Great store located in downtown berea. joe and the staff are always kind and ready to help. will always take a look at your comics, cards etc. to trade or sell.

Great place, amazing staff and lots of pinball machines!

Staff was rude. Unhelpful. Just overall bad experience. Plenty of other places I could go to that at least treat me with respect. Don’t come in with questions or they will treat you like you’re an idiot.Your responses to some people’s issues as an owner is also sad. Glad I didn’t spend anything.

Kidforce has been my go-to for just about anything card or board game related for close to 7 years now. If youre looking for new games, wanting to play some pinball, or are a collector looking to expand: this is the place for you!

Great selection of board games and MTG. Very friendly staff. I was able to locate a game that is out of print and not available anywhere else.

Been going here for the better part of a decade! Playing cards and pinball. Fantastic environment and great people to work with!

Amazing store. piles of ton stuff from card games, comics, toys, board games and pinball. basically a nerds heaven

Kidforce has something for everyone: board games, CCGs, collectibles, pinball, comics, etc. The store is clean and the staff is friendly - and vice versa. Joe the owner is fair in his pricing, but people do need to realize that hes running a business here and needs to keep the lights on (like every other local game store).

A wonderful place for all sorts of collectors and gamers alike. Joe is awesome and runs a fantastic store

When I say the very best place to go get anything that I want to collect, this is it. The employees and the owner make you feel welcome every time.

Great selection of games, comics, and other collectibles. We stopped in to play pinball with friends. Masks required, plenty of wipes for the games and hand sanitizer.

Love kidforce been going there since I started school at Baldwin Wallace almost 5 year ago now. Top quality products from Magic The Gathering to Pokémon and everything between.

I go here to play pinball mainly when there isnt a pandemic. I do pick up the occasional Funko pop, which I have to say the selection is excellent. I like that it is not just limited to super hero and comic stuff. If your into pop culture stuff that skews towards the nerdy side, this is a place you should visit.

Great place,clean,friendly with tons of stuff for everyone A+

Kidforce is my go-to location for cards, comics, Funko and gaming supplies. Joe is a great help and goes above and beyond to help his customers. I couldn’t recommend this shop more!

Love this store. I been buying my comics from kidsforce the last few years and I am always blown away by the great customer service and great selection of comics along with toys, magic cards, games, pinball and everything else they provide.

Kidforce Collectibles is an awesome place where everyone feels welcome. It is nice to be able to go inside, look at the merchandise, and play pinball games in excellent condition! Folks can be free to let out their inner child and relive memories from their youth. My husband and I both work in the medical field and thus are very particular about the few places that we will continue to go routinely during the COVID-19 Pandemic- Joes Kidforce Collectaibles is one of those places. It is a mask wearing, sanitized, social distancing safety hub where you can go to have fun and you can count on the measures being taken to keep everyone healthy. Thank you for helping us from being stir crazy during these difficult times. The customer service is always friendly and top notch. Melissa & Steve

The store atmosphere is amazing. The owner is friendly and kind. The store is a wonderful place to be for the young and older customers who enter.

Great store, with wonderful staff and if you like playing pinball this is your place. 20 or so machines to play and one of the best pinball leagues around reside at this store.

Very extensive pokemon and Magic library. A bit hovery, but understandable. Loved their Funko choices also.

I always feel welcome at Kidforce, even when I just stop by to look around. Joe & company are always helpful and friendly.

The owner Joe runs a great store that has something for everyone. The staff is super great and really helpful.

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Always a pleasure to go here. -kitsune

Great prices. Excellent selection.

Owner/Staff are incredibly friendly/knowledgeable, store has the largest selection of MTG singles in Cleveland, and prices on buy/sell/trade are fair.

Shopped here for years and never been disappointed. Great employees, huge assortment of comic books, graphic novels, collectibles, TCGs, board games, pinball leagues and more! More than once Joe has recommended a game or comic and theyve all been winners!

Reasonable price went here today buy some pokemon cards the employers super nice one with a yellow shirt help me find my fav sylveon card GX Foils would recommended to come here again plan to come back here :)

Awesome shop for all things collectible!

I love all the people that I meet there for magic, pinball, shopping, etc... very enthusiastic staff and and amazing owner!

My husband and I love Kidforce! Its been a while since weve been in, but Joe and his staff are always great when we do get the chance to pop in. Hubby gets magic cards and I get to look at everything Star Wars 😊 We always recommend it.

All the collectibles, cards, comics, books, board games, dice games, T-shirts, figurines, funko pops, trinkets, toys, decals, posters, accessories, storage, protectors, and pinball you could ever want under one roof. Joe and his staff know their stuff. Selection is incredible. Check. It. Out.

This place is super cool and they have a large selection of anything you can think of honestly. Parking is a mild pain but still totally worth checking out if youre into any TCG, or just a collector of anything cool.

Cool place. My two kids really enjoy coming here. Prices are good.

Comic books, board games, Pokémon, pinball games, Action figures, Star Wars merch, and so much more! Very friendly staff. Highly recommend this store for all your gaming needs!
