What customers say

Not a huge selection of retro games, but like all Great Escape stores, prices are almost always at or below market value. This review is from the perspective of a retro video game collector.

Pretty much the most amazing place to snag vintage/rare toys, music, games, and vinyl. You can trade in your old media for store credit or cash. The Great Escape offers a ton of Magic the Gathering cards and other collectible trading card games, Dungeons and Dragons/role playing modules, albums, comics, trade…

★★★★★ — Jin, 2025-01

Awesome record store with a wealth of collectibles and old media. I bought cds, VHS, audio cassettes, and vintage magazines. They have games, comics, and figurines. They even had vintage baseball bats for some reason which was strange in an awesome sort of way 😂 it's on my revisit list any time I'm in Nashville now.

★★★★★ — Stuck, 2025-12

Cool record store with a really great selection of back issue comics. There is a small new comic wall too. Everything is neat, organized and priced pretty well. The “newest in” bin was 3 long boxes and full of some vintage stuff. If you are lioking for semi-rare in the $6-$10 range back issues….this is an escape!!!
