I had never been to a Calico location until the Temecula store. My friend Todd has been a longtime supporter and kept telling me I have to give them a try.
I'm sold, been there 4 times already. Went to the store on the soft launch opening day. Inventory has improved immensely since then. Have been twice during the grand opening and picked up a few goodies for the collection at good prices.
The store is clean, prices are good and trade prices are very fair - (was offered 80% for a Zelda Game on in-store credit). Eric and Marco (owners) and Joey (manager I think) are very friendly and personable. Staff & pricing makes a retro store worth going to for me.
It is great to finally have a retro video game store in the Temecula/Murrieta area and I will happily be supporting these guys for as long as I live in town.
I have been to two of their four stores now and will be coming back often.
