Phantom Zone Parramatta closes down

[1AZRAEL1]

Sad indeed. I used to love going there and buy things every so often.

I remember working there for a long stretch, moving the store from across the station down to the old Roxy cinemas.

definitely the end of an era, the Parramatta store I only ever visited when I went to the Parramatta fair but when I lived in Chatswood for a few years the local one there was my go to comic shop.

Very sad news, but news I had been expecting for the last few years.

Always helpful and friendly and knew their stuff. Always felt better buying in a parra or Chatswood than going into Kings.

That's sad.

I went there ever so infrequently, however it was always exciting when I did. Mainly because I was looking for something I couldn't find and had heard on the grapevine that they had one.

It would always be high anticipation and normally paid off.

or you could do what many have done and gone digital....(which may or may not be the cause of the decline in B&M stores)

I'm in an awful rut where I buy both, physical and digital. I've trained myself to enjoy reading digital, especially how handy it is with travel and public transport but the collector in me won't let me stop buying the floppies.

this is what i do, although marvel make it so much easier including Digital with purchase, and honestly i think the price we pay for IDW comics it should be included with those as well..

I remember you serving me! I also bumped into Gary at that gaming convention a few years back when Hasbro had me promoting Combiner Wars. He was working on Zing's retail buying team at the time if memory serves me correctly. Ah, the days when I'd duck over next door to play games at TimeZone.

Woah, that's awesome!

With how broke IDW is we'll never get that offer but that should be standard... Maybe time to pick up some of those Marvel comics I've been eyeing off.

Probably I wait and test it with Death's Head
