I have been shopping at The Splash Page since I was a teenager. Scott and his staff are the best...so much so that Ive carried on a subscription with them long-distance from my current place of residence in CA! In my decades of collecting, Ive never found a better shop to work with, and never want to have to! Keep it up Scott and company; you all make collecting life so much more manageable and keep this geek happy as a spider in a web! ππ
Splash Page is a great place. Some of us are old enough to remember a time when Billings, MT had no dependable sources for comic books and geek esoterica. In those days, at best we had fly-by-night specialty shops that reeked of unwashed bodies and lived up to the worst Comic Book Guy stereotypes of fat, condescending man-children. At worst we had to hope Hastings had the comics we were looking for that week/month. Then Scott opened the Splash Page and all that changed. Suddenly we had a consistent source for our nerdy addictions. Scott and his store subverted all the normal expectations and stereotypes for a comic book specialty store. The store was (and is) clean, well-lit, and perhaps most importantly and most surprisingly, well-managed. Scott has been in business for roughly 30 years now. 30 uninterrupted years. He and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and ethical. Like any business, this one is run by human beings. That means that theres always the *potential* that something disappointing could occur. But Scott is an ethical businessman who values his customers, so hell always try to make it right. Shop here with a light heart. Not only is the product fun, but the people selling the product are there to help you.
I was worried by some of the reviews that said they were rude, but I stopped in on my way through town and they were very pleasant. Good selection of new comics and kids books.
Ive given this shop more than a fair chance at being decent as far as customer service goes. Ive spent hundreds of dollars here, and they continue to have abysmal service. Ill touch on a few points here:The young lady who runs the cash register (not the lady on Sunday, that lady is amazing and deserves a better store to work for) does a great job of ignoring customers, and overall just being a robot. Get out from behind the counter and see if your customers need assistance or something.The gentlemen who runs the place is either ok to talk to, or is just rude and condescending. Shortly after a set had released, it caused a well known MTG card Farseek to spike in price so I swung by to see if Splash Page had any. I asked the gentleman and was met with a rude and sharp If its over 5 dollars, and its not in the case then I dont have it! He didnt even bother to look it up.Listen here, prices fluctuate. That $2 card might turn to a $5 card after a release.I left the store, called them the next day and spoke to the young lady and she pulled it right out from the box behind the counter. Heres my point, I ended up spending over $800 on this one deck, and I wanted to spend every dollar that I could in a local store. Due to this repeated experience, I will be going to KAB, and Nerd Rager. If they dont have the cards I need, I will go to Card Kingdom.It really is a shame, because the store has a great selection of cards, comics, WH 40K, D&D books etc.I love supporting local stores, but that support should not be met with rude and robotic arrogance.To the owner, if you read this..... Shape up, because loyalty only goes so far.
Whenever my boyfriend and I are in town from CA, we always make it a point to stop into the Splash Page. Great assortment of comics and trading cards, among other things (I love the funko pop selection). Very helpful, friendly employees. If youre a Billings local looking for a great comic book store, this place is absolutely for you.
Tiny store but big selection. Staff were busy but when they got to me took time to get items and suggested others. Nice.
Nice place with a good assortment of minis. Ive bought minis and dice there and it was a good experience browsing through all thier stuff. Would definitely recommend to any of my friends.
Have been going here for years. Customer service is solid. I have a few subscriptions through them and if they dont have what I am looking for, the staff will order it and get it to me ASAP! My kids really like checking out the Pokemon selection. Stop by if you are in the Billings area!!!
This place is so cool! My friend and I were recommended here from another store (nerd rager??) And were greatly impressed. I look forward to coming here again!
Ive been a regular customer since I was in junior high over 20 years ago. Scott runs a great store that is well lit, organized, and welcoming to everyone. It is a sanctuary for the nerd community of Billings.
A clean and organized store. They always have what we want as a family and are friendly and courteous. Love this place.
Ripped my 12 year old son off, sold him a PokΓ©mon pack and after he opened it he realized that the packs were opened and then resealed.I will be going to the county/city to see what can be done about shutting this business down. It seems from other reviews this is a common practice.I will be trying to track some other people down and get them to fill out a sworn statement.It may only be $30, but how many times have they done this and whatelse have they done??They screwed the wrong person this time.Note :You Say you have never done this before, but if you read down there is other reviews that state the same thing,,Note: My son called me and said you made it right.
Big dice collection. This is almost the only reason I go there, unless theres a new D&D supplement out.Great selection of miniature paints, as well.
I wouldnβt recommend buying any PokΓ©mon booster packs from this store. I recently bought a singular shining fates pack and it had all the evidence of being resealed. Not to mention the price of the pack was 9 dollars.
Great selection of pops tons of dice they have they have every 5th edition d&d book and of course lots of mini figs plus tons of Warhammer
Plenty of Magic The Gathering supplies, along with D&D supplies and comics, We love coming here because they have the most MTG supplies in billings!
Knowledgeable staff great selection of comics and games I got lucky and got good pulls out of the packs I got will definitely go back
Awesome selection of board games, comics and dice. Will visit again
Staff not very friendly but store was pretty nice
The Splash Page made me feel welcome and helped me find exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
Lots of great choices and very competitive prices compared to other distributors.
My go to Magic The Gathering shop. Love it.
Im sorry if this sounds rude but its not meant to be. The guy at the register was well informed and shared information I was looking for so thank you! Also thank you for doing your part with the issues we are having in our trying times and keeping everyone up to standards like those teens who you had to tell to make sure their mask was being used correctly.
Great selection of board games and cool merchandise!
First there scalping they bought binders from target and had a 50% mark up and then I bought a 4 pack set and all the packs whereResealed and the code cards and rare was gone with all the packs do not go here they will take your money
They know their stuff & have been around forever.
Kinda boring tbh, expected way more.
No masks no safety precautions little selection of popular games n books. Low prices on things they will buy n high prices buying same item?
Great and friendly service, good selection of Funko Pops and comics
My favorite place. βοΈ
Great place.
TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! The young lady at the counter didnt even think to greet us and the second my mask accidently slid down she barked at me to put it back on. It was a brief accident. That was the only thing she said to us the entire time. No greeting, no asking if I was finding everything, nothing. Will be buying all our graphic novels online. Thanks for nothing
Large selection of dice bunch of games and pops and of course lots of comics
Typical comic shop selling new comics, gaming supplies and Magic cards. Nothing to write home about. The young woman behind the counter seemed mostly disinterested except for the obligatory Thank you and have a good day after my purchase. Sadly, there dont seem to be many other options in or around Southeast Montana. I think Ill stick to a subscription service if I am in the area much longer. To badly misquote a Star Wars anecdote, move along, this is not the comic shop you are looking for.
Splash Page has a good selection of blind bag items and Magic the Gathering accessories. I have found that their prices for MTG cards are much higher than at KAB and they have a minimal selection in comparison.
Bad dont come no toilet
The owner, Scott, has been operating his storefront in Billings for decades. He hires knowledgeable staff and he can be trusted as someone who offers or requests a fair deal on exchange of any goods.
Awesome employees cards and collectibles. They run magic the gathering and Warhammer.
Great selection! They always have what I need for gaming. Their staff is friendly and the store is inviting.
I love this place. Been doing business with Scott for years
Very tidy shop, with lots of little interesting nooks and crannies stacked in pleasing displays. Lots of fun to just stroll around and look at things. A whole big wall of comic books. an alcove filled with Magic: the Gathering, a big stack or two of different board games, a small bookcase with two shelves of roleplaying books (pretty much just the essentials of Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition and the new 2nd edition Pathfinder, with not much else) and a load of roleplaying related miniatures and boardgames. The proprietors seemed pleasant but were happy to leave us to shop so we didnt get to talk much--but they seemed like good folks.
Excellent store. Probably one of the only places in billings where u can really get this stuff. The selection is excellent, prices are good, service is good, store is allways very neat and well put together. All in all there is no where Id rather go for my nerdy needs.
Wish I had saved my time, this place is pathetic. Didnt need the sassy attitude from the cashier either
This is the place to go to for Comics and games. Lots of Variants and a nice section for playing Games in the back. Plus the staff is knowledgeable and friendly P.S this is not the ol school dungeon style comic store its roomy bright overall a cool store to visit
Great place to pick up paints and Miniatures for gaming. The staff is very helpful and will order things for you if you ask. Definitely want to support local businesses and this is when that I feel everyone should support not only for gaming but for comic books as well. its got a wide variety of almost anything nerdy, Magic the Gathering and other stuff all in all its a great place!
Nice selection of comics, both hard back and paper. Staff is very knowledgeable about products.
Just left store with my 11 year old son. And the sales person was mean and condescending big time. I would never got back. Made my almost cry. Shameful behavior
Save your time and money and shop online. Rude and snotty employees
Nice selection and neatly laid out store, easy to find things and had a nice friendly atmosphere. Just wish there were more MTG singles!
Wonderful store, with staff that enjoy helping people find something theyll love.
The guy working here today had told my mother that he wasnβt going to sell her the comic books she went to purchase because he said they are selling for a lot of money and he wants to auction them off to make more profit. How can you not sell a comic book to a loyal customer because youβre being greedy? They donβt even deserve one star
Was just there for free comic book day and it was awesome! Great experience.
After spending nearly $100 a week at the shop. I had to leave to attend to a family emergency. Unfortunately I had a couple of books on pull that I didnt pick up. Upon returning I contacted the owner to try to pay for the books. He had however sold them. I visited the store and upon leaving the owner ran out of the shop accusing me of stealing comic books from him. After he realized that I had no comics in hand, he accused me of placing comics back in the wrong spot. I later contacted him and told him how wrong he was to act in that situation. Since that time he has banned me for no apparent reason other than him being a childish and whiny crybaby. This is how he repayed someone who spent hundreds of dollars in his shop.
Stocks new release comics, DC, Image, Marvel, Dark Horse. Will do special orders and subscriptions. Stocks Magic the Gathering and other card games. Sells D&D supplies and other tabletop figures. Friendly and helpful staff. Looking forward to free comicbook weekend in May.
Great selection of comics and games. Wish I lived closer to be able to go in more often.
Its terrible what you did to a local buyer. I dont know if being the only comic shop in your area gives you some sort of feeling of invincibility but to accuse someone of stealing with no proof is completely wrong but on top of that to sell his pull after he leaves is wrong. He devoted alot of money to your shop only to be treated very poorly. I hope another shop opens up in your area and your business runs dry. Have a good day.
I come to this store every time I am in Billings. They have an impressive back issue selection for a small town store.
Love this place I go in here for magic and dice they also have a nice selection for kids of all ages my niece always finds something new to read whenever we go in
Great selection of comics and games
This place smelled gross and was super unorganized
They were rude to me and my parents
Full of amazing people and even better vibes
Cool local comic shop. Love having something like this in our city for over 20 years!
The owner and the one employee never acknowledged that we were even in the store. Even when we had made it known that we were looking at some if the higher priced comics that were behind the counter.
Only in town for a day and wanted to check out this store for D&D stuff. Very surprised that the store closed at 7pm. Too bad you werenβt there to take my money... your loss
Nice clean store. Good selection of minis and books.
Scott runs an awesome buisness always has what I want and need
Good little MTG/game store. Lots of comics and minifigures.
Good selection of comics and table top games. Staff had been friendly the few times Ive gone in here. They just need a bit of a bigger selection on older comics.
I love this comic book store it is now the only place I buy and trade trading cards!
A little nerd haven full of cool stuff
There isnt a lot of other options here for this type of collection of goods in Billings.TGC, tabletop, comics, all around nerd stuff.There are special times for events like Magic, Warhammer and other games.Theyve got a pretty good selection of board games (not all the ordinary stuff), which is primarily why I go there, though Id like to see more rotation of stuff. But when youre a tiny store there isnt that sorta luxury.Only real complaint is I find it pretty rude one employee (owner?) Is already on the phone ordering more of the thing youre purchasing while youre checking out.
GREAT store! Wonderful, knowledgable people
Iβve been going here for a few years, never had any issues. The new location looks really nice and clean.
Bad selection and bad service
Very good service.
Best game store in Billings.
Pretty nice selection friendly people
Great place for comics and gaming.
Good plcae relaxed
Good knowledgeable people and very friendly
I gave this store many chances, the owner was rude and outright mean every time.
Nice selection, friendly enviroment
Typical small store with game area in the back of the store.
Terrible owner who screams at his customers depending on his moods
The only comic book shop in town!
I am not impressed
Clerk was very, very, very rude.
Good selection, weak employees
