The location is a little hidden but very easy to get to. The building is older but I love the look and space. Two of the owners (these two dudes had scruffy beards) that were there the day I visited are super friendly, easy to talk to, interested in what you have to say, and love what they do. All these qualities make a great and lasting business. If youre looking for comic books (old and new), vintage video games and consoles, toys (vintage and new) and local art, this should be your spot. Support local! Support The Scruffy Nerd Herders! Oh, and, while youre there, dont forget to say hi to their pet bearded dragon, So-crates (pronounced the way Ted did from Bill and Ted)!
AWESOME new location!!! I used to enjoy their old spot at the mall, but this ones even better! Just full of retro charm (even the building itself). They have hands down THE best selection of unique video games, comics, and collectibles in town. Every time I go there, I ALWAYS find some real gems, and their prices are always good. Great dudes who work there and are as passionate as ever. Cant wait to go back! I got my eye on a few more goodies I just have to have. Go check it out! Youre gonna love it.
Super awesome place, my son is obsessed with all things “nerd” related and said this is his favorite store! The products are great, and the owner that we met was a really cool guy. He let my son talk about all the random video game related things, and went above and beyond to be sure he could get a Nintendo 64.
The clerk was super cool and took care of my friend and i super well. A lot of super hard to find books and beautiful artwork. It was amazing just chatting it up about all the weird quirks of comics. We left there with the utmost of satisfaction
Not being from the area I was visiting as many Comic shops as I could on this vacation. These guys don’t do current comics; which is OK. They have retro toys and games and back issues of comics. What they specialize in is great customer service. If only all comic shops could have nice and friendly staff as this one.
Nice store! Has a little bit of everything that a fellow nerd might be looking for or wanting. Welcoming staff. Keep doing what you doing. Cause its great.
Great locally owned shop. The owner takes great pride in his store and it shows in the quality of products and presentation.
Every time I show up here looking for something its always calm and collected. Great displays.
The guys that run this shop are very kind and welcoming. They have dozens of long boxes to dive into and very fair prices. It’s easily one of my favorite places in town!
We had just finished lunch after coming from the museum. I had never been in this shop so we checked it out. I was there for 45 minutes looking through comics boxes, but during this time I heard the owner ridiculing the other comic shops in town. This was disturbing to me because I frequent four different shops in the city. When I went up to the counter to pay he said to me So this is how you choose to spend fathers, and looked at my kids with a sorry look. I felt so insulted. I couldnt believe this guy was treating a new customer this way. He had no right to judge me. Never going back.
Weather, by sale or trade, these guys are the most honest and fair. Recommend to anybody.
I liked the store and my husband thought all the comics were the coolest. However its the owner and staff that are the real reason to visit because they are just awesome people! They made it an experience to remember! We will visit this store every time we come to San Antonio. 😊
Best nerd place, especially for people on or around Ft. Sam
Great shop for most nerdy needs, they have lots of single issue comics, graphic novels, vintage gaming items, prints and paintings. Figures, DnD needs, and the staff are great to conversate with. If youre a nerd its a must that you visit.
Beautiful location, friendly atmosphere, good mix of collectibles, Comics, video games, and table top gaming items.
Great guy working their with lots if vintage goods at reasonable prices.
Are you a Marvel AND Nintendo fan? Then come on down to this little shop in the mall. They have A TON of Gameboy games here! Finally found Super Mario Land after searching all over town. I just wish they sold more Pokémon merch and TCGs and maybe even some metal band and wrestling merch too.
Very cool place with some friendly staff. And the games are priced very fair.
Very clean, and well organized. They have a massive collection of comic books including probably 50-60 highly sought after limited edition comics. They have a wide range of classic games for just about every classic gaming console. They also have several consoles for sale, and all seem reasonable priced. Highly recommend anybody who is look for nostalgic experiences to come in and look around.
Love these meows! Great people running this place! If you are in to collectables and/or comics this is a great place. Cant beat the name either!
Chill guys with a mission to keep comics simple and fun
I had some 70s n 80s Comics they gave me options for my unwanted collection of comicsI was satisfied with the outcome
Friendly, great unique finds and local art
Quaint little place with large selection of a little bit of everything. The variety of games, cards, comics and more is perfect while ensuring the space does not feel cramped. Friendly employees and cozy atmosphere. Must stop for any collector.
Awesome store, and knowledgeable staff. Will return for more.
Cool store with some vintage toys, the guys went out of their way to answer all my questions.
It feels like coming home to a safe place of familiarity and nostalgic euphoria. They sell and trade retro games, sell retro consoles, tabletop stuff, comics, and also hold weekly DnD sessions! I love popping in when I can, just to talk with the employees, feels like talking to extended family after not seeing them for years.
The nostalgia this place brings is incredible.
Amazing selection, fantastic staff, an overall inclusive and wonderful place
Im obsessed with this place! I have found SO MANY GEMS for my office my show and my collections! Dudes are super nice and do military discounts for vets!!!!!
More of a comic place. Not too many toys
Great place good stuff
Great dudes, fun location
Super awesome store
A frequent visitor with friends. Its a great place to visit for memorabilia and rarities
Love this place! Sooo much to look at and buy.
This place has all the videogames and consoles that I grew up with. Some of the prices are reasonable but they are some expensive items as well, It is a collectors shop after all. Great selection of videogames and comics. Everything is well displayed and organised. Shop is spacious and clean, I didnt buy anything but will go back to purchase some hard to find items in the near future. Ill take pictures when I go back and post with an update.
These guys know their stuff and are the reason I initially got into DND! I’m running a full fledged campaign now and branching out my knowledge of the game 😁 they’re like family a nice piece of Rolling Oaks that makes me love coming back
Cool place with lots of comics, graphic novels and games.
Awesome crew, more than knowledgeable, hilarious, reverent, clean, and brave each one and all. Its like the modern day three musketeers but with scores of 7 million IQ each in their own respects.
Great collection games and comics
Definate MUST SEE! Making dreams come true! Such an awesome place!! They have such a variety of any kind of comics you could possibly dream of! Not to mention brilliant paintings done from local artists, games you thought where long gone and they even support their local comic book artists. Thanks Guys you all are one of a kind!! 💖
The people working here are knowledgeable and are willing to answer any questions you have. They have a decent selection of vintage video games as well as comics and toys.
If youre into video games, comics, or collectibles, you NEED to go to this store stat. Its well organized, beautiful, and the owners couldnt be cooler guys. Theyre legit. Friendly too. Best of all, theyll treat you fairly on pricing, whether buying or selling. Thanks to them, I FINALLY scored several gems for some of my classic systems that I had been searching high and low for years on, and pricing was excellent on them. I havent been a video game/comic regular for decades, but now I will be again with this excellent shop. Glad to have discovered it!!! Will be back frequently. :)
Great prices and great selection. And if they don’t have in store they are willing to find it for you at a decent price. They were able to find a game I was looking for, for the Super Nintendo. I’m so excited to play it!!! 😆
Absolutely amazing, the staff is super kind, helpful, and funny. They have everything you could ask for from comics to POPS to games. I love going here!!
A great shop with a wide selection of retro games and comics. the owner is friendly and knowledgeable. i will definitely be returning
Amazing shop everyone should just walk through yupp see all the vintage game systems and more! I am getting a Nintendo 64! Great service and they work with you! Love the layaway option! Keep it up guys!
Guys gave me a solid deal on some items. They are very upfront about the need to make profit and how best to make money for you. Would definitely do biz with them again.
Fun organized store.Stuff for every breed of nerd. Video Games, comics, table top games, figures... Owners very knowledgeable and fun to chat with.
Hands down one of the best places in San Antonio to get your hard to find Comics, Funko Pops, and Retro Games! Will even put you on a lay-a-way plan for the more pricey items! Will definitely be coming here more often in the near future.
Staff are super friendly and nice. Gray selection of products. 5/5 would go again
I like to collect older Nintendo games, so its nice to have a store nearby that sells them. The staff here is very friendly and knowledgeable about everything to do with their business. Highly recommend stopping by!
SupervFriendly and has awesome stuff!
These guys are awesome. Went in this past week to buy some NES supplies and got a full tour and some valuable info. This place is super cool and has great quality product and great service!
I bought Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2 for snes. Games were in great condition and work good. The owner of the store gave me a deal on both games. I highly recommend this store and will be coming back for more games.
Very fun and nostalgic place. I will be back to get that super Nintendo. Owner was very knowledgeable and friendly. If your in need of vintage games or systems please go here!
Amazing staff/service and one of a kind quality goods, my new routine on Saturdays is to stop there browse, buy, and chat. If you want to go someplace worth your time go to the Scruffy Nerd Herder.
Fun place. Comic books, video games and some pop culture swag. Fun to visit. Helpful staff.
Friendly customer service. Great comic picks. Awesome customer appreciation deals/perks!
Cool place to go to if youre a gamer or comic collector.

Awesome selection and its not even all out yet! Comics, figures, classic Nintendo games, and funko pops! Not to mention the staff is super helpful and friendly!
Very nice workers came and helped, also has a lot of good things to look at from comics to video games etc.
We went here for the first time tonight,and we absolutely loved the experience we had, from looking through the comic book boxes and finding issues to add to our collection,to meeting the owner,Chris,who we really enjoyed talking with! Thank you! We will see you guys again this Friday!!
Great place with good people.
Glad to find this store near home
Super cool stuff took me back to my childhood.
Great selection a bit of everything from current comics and graphic novels to collectables.
I am an ardent supporter of local businesses that foster community through their existence; that is precisely why I am leaving this review. The owners, Chris and Kelly, have created a unique shopping destination that not only offers a great assortment items for the nerd-niche market, but they have also cultivated a space where other local creatives have been afforded an opportunity to have their wares sold.The Scruffy Nerd Herders are located on the 2nd floor of Rolling Oaks Mall. If you enter through the main entrance of the mall, youll take a left turn past H&M and go upstairs. At the entrance of this establishment is a large window filled with eyecatching art and youll immediately notice that the interior of the business is also covered in everything from graphic art to handpainted pieces.Comic books, video games( which they buy from the public as well as sell) gaming consoles, action figures, jewelry, art, special and limited edition collectors items... they have it! And the store is spacious, well-lit, and inviting. The merchandise is well organized and easy to navigate through.My son and I will definitely be back!
Great selection and even greater prices! Definitely coming back
