Last night, I had the pleasure of checking out a new local business in Evansville. As a huge geek, the words "comic book store with an arcade inside" made me very excited. The new store is called "Secret Headquarters" and is located on First Ave, across from Subway.

Alongside the comics, they also have one of the largest selection of Pop! vinyls in the area. Pop! vinyls are one of my absolutely favorite things in the entire world and I'm going to spend so much money here. They also have several retired and hard to find Pops at reasonable prices.

They also specialize in retro gaming. They've got tons of games from past generations and even some rare games. I never thought I'd hold a copy of Earthbound for the SNES in my hands, but they have one for sale at Secret Headquarters. Also, as a huge Mega Man fan, I was excited to see that Mega Man is well-represented at the store.

It wouldn't be a comic book store if comic book characters weren't readily available. They've got collectible statues and vintage superhero toys. They've got something for every price range so you are sure to find something you like. It's crazy seeing all the toys I used to have in my childhood on display. And yes, I absolutely want to re-buy all of them.  They also have a large selection of comics, both new and old.

Secret Headquarters also has one of the largest selections of retro Transformers. If you aren't a fan of what Michael Bay has done to your favorite robot's in disguise, you can relive your childhood by picking out some old-school Transformers.

Above and below is one of the premiere features of Secret Headquarters: The All You Can Play Arcade. For a flat fee, you get unlimited arcade gaming for a set amount of time. No more worrying about quarters or tokens, just a flat fee for arcade greatness. Along with the retro-machines, they also offer retro gaming on several different stations located in the store.

After visiting Secret Headquarters, I'm really excited about what the store is going to offer. They are already planning on bringing in more arcade machines and more merchandise. The store officially opens at 4pm on St. Patrick's Day and I highly recommend checking it out!
