We're almost one week away from our biggest, craziest sale of the year... the THIRD EYE THROWDOWN TENT SALE!

Some of the fun you can expect: HUNDREDS OF GRAPHIC NOVELS & MANGA AT 50% OFF OR HIGHER HUNDREDS OF TOYS, T-SHIRTS, STATUES & MORE AT 50% OFF OR HIGHER TONS OF TABLETOP GAMES & OTHER TABLETOP GAMING ITEMS AT 50% OFF $1.00 BACK ISSUE BINS - THOUSANDS OF BACK ISSUES -- ALL JUST $1.00!

SHOW UP IN PRO-WRESTLING GEAR (not just a wrestling shirt, folks -we're talking tights, masks, shoulder pas, etc) OR POST-APOCALYPTIC GEAR (think MAD MAX!) -- and get a FREE Third Eye tote to take your stuff home in! NEVER BEEN TO ONE OF OUR THIRD EYE THROWDOWN TENT SALES? The THROWDOWN is pretty unique; it's a very THUNDERDOME-style event, where you'll get some incredible deals and have a blast! However, due to the nature & scale of the THROWDOWN, there's a few things we like to give first-timers a heads up on! :) Parking can get a bit crazy b/c we are taking up a good chunk of the rear lot with the giant tent -- so, please keep an eye out for the Third Eye Event Parking signs for extra parking. Can't find parking? All our lots are full? There's a ton of street parking up and down the blocks near our store! It can get HOT! We do have some pretty heavy-duty fans running in the tent to keep the airflow going, but there's no way around it: it can be hot in there! So, just be aware! It can get CROWDED! Part of the fun of the tent sale is the anything goes nature of it, so while we'll have plenty of Third Eye team members running multiple registers to get folks rung up as quickly as possible, it can still get crowded in the tent, so just be aware of that! PORTAPOTTY! - We know some of you like to line up before things kick into high gear -- and we've got a portapotty in the lot for you! LINING UP EARLY? If you do line up early, please do not go in the tent until Team Third Eye officially begins letting folks in! We start cleaning up the tent between 6-7PM EST, so if you show up after 7PM, you may see some stuff getting packed up, and usually by 8PM, while there's still a few items, a lot of items may have gotten packed up. Belly Reward Points! The scanners for our rewards cards don't work in the tent, so please make sure to hang onto your paper receipt & bring it back on your next visit to Third Eye to get your points! :) All items in the tent are sold as is - there's a ton of stuff in our warehouses, and just like there's going to be some real treasures that may surprise you, there may also be items that we may have missed a defect on. We do try our best to make sure to mark anything that may have a major issue (or weed it out before it hits the tent aka a statue that may be broken, etc), but sometimes we do miss something! Of course, you know us, Third Eye Faithful: if you have a major issue with an item, just visit us in-store anytime & our team will help you out! Be Kind To Your Fellow Third Eye Faithful! We know it's exciting to dig through the boxes & find all the fun stuff we've put in there -- but, pls make sure to be cool to one another! ROAD TRIPPING FOR THE TENT SALE? Tag us on INSTAGRAM & share your journey @ thirdeyecomics WHAT'S ON SALE? If it's in the tent -- it's on sale! Everything in the tent is on sale this day! With all that being said, this is going to be an epic tent sale! We haven't done one in 3 years, and that means we've got 3 years worth of all kinds of goodies going in the tent!
