Newbury Comics - Marlborough Store

Pricey, always has been but they have plenty to look at. I do buy from them occasionally so I know I'm getting my money's worth. I do recommend them though for it's a cool place.

It is a shame that the music section is shrinking and they're mostly sticking to trends but everything here is at good prices and the staff were friendly. However, I picked out a CD of Exodus's newest album and I noticed a crack in it. When I was picking it out, I saw multiple other copies. Then when I went to get another one, I couldn't find them. Once you pick a CD but change your mind, good luck finding the right spot to put it back or getting another copy! Staff won't apply any discounts on items that are damaged. Where I work, we give customers at least 10% off on items that have minor damages.

Solid location. I've always had good experiences with the staff. However, I primarily shop for records when I visit and their selection has dwindled heavily over the past few years. If you're into funko and branded knick-knacks, you'll have a better time.

Great store with a lot of cool stuff people are usually looking for, when looking for anime, music, figurines, shirts, magnets, socks, you name it. They seem to have what everyone is into. My kids enjoyed the fact they had everything they liked, and I enjoyed the sales!

Great shop for both the kids and the adults in your life! We actually manage to get a significant amount of our holiday and birthday shopping done here. Also if the don't have what your looking for just ask they can order most items and have them shipped in a reasonable time! Very helpful staff

The worst location I’ve been to, the popular posters are never restocked here. The music section is shrinking everytime I come in, dvds are non existent I asked about movies and they only had like 3 or 4 left what a joke! Hipster fashion and culture has completely ruined this chain, this isn’t the Newbury comics I grew up with in the 90s. Hipsters ruin everything of course, it’s all about pop culture and toys here now. Kids born in 2000s will never know what Newbury comics was truly like, I feel sorry for them being stuck with the trends now.

Good Store with friendly staff. The only reason I’m giving them 3 out of 5 stars is because they didn’t have any DVDs and a small amount of CDs. But overall it’s a cool store that’s worth checking out

They had a wide selection of comic and game paraphernalia new and dated. I found a pair of David Bowie 2oz. shot glasses for my daughter Kris at a great price. Well worth the visit if you are in the area.

Used to be great back in the 90's. Now this place is all corporate. Their stuff is marked up compared to other places. For example I went to buy a Marvel Comics Carnage Figure and it retails for $29.99. They had it for $39.99. If you see anything here. Compare prices online. Once in awhile they do have some deals. Also do not sell your DVDs here. They give you nothing for them.

You ever walk into a place and just know you were going to get exactly the help you needed when you needed it? And that the staff were going to be pleasant, charming, engaging, and helpful? Me, neither, but Newbury Comics was kinda like that.
