FYE Introduce

For local users in Trumbull, Connecticut, FYE is located at 5065 Main St, within the Trumbull Mall, Trumbull, CT 06611, USA. You can reach them by phone at (203) 373-1014 or mobile phone at +1 203-373-1014.

Customer reviews for this FYE location present significant concerns. One review recounts an experience where a boyfriend visiting the store to purchase a vinyl record left without buying anything due to alleged racial profiling by both the employee behind the counter and another employee on the floor. The reviewer urged FYE to improve or risk losing more customers, also noting their "overpriced records."

Another major point of criticism is the store's pricing, particularly for collectible figures. Customers report that FYE charges "scalper prices" for figures, significantly higher than standard retail prices found at other collector-based websites and nearby stores. For example, standard Star Wars The Black Series figures, typically sold for $25-$26 elsewhere, are reportedly priced by FYE at an additional $20 on top of the standard price. This practice leads to customers paying prices comparable to those of online scalpers for items readily available at lower prices elsewhere.

Even the clearance section at this FYE location is criticized for not offering substantial discounts. Customers have found figures still being sold for prices higher than the standard retail price found in other stores (e.g., $29-$30 instead of $25). This suggests that even discounted items may not represent genuine savings.

One reviewer speculated that this inflated pricing strategy might extend to other merchandise in the store, potentially doubling the manufacturer's set price to maximize profit. This customer felt that such pricing was expected from third-party online sellers but not from a chain retailer like FYE. The overall sentiment expressed is that this FYE location, once associated with "Nostalgia, and good times at the trumbull mall," is now perceived as being run by "scammers trying to make a quick buck" through inflated prices.

While FYE typically offers a range of entertainment products such as vinyl records, figures, collectibles, movies, and music, potential customers of the Trumbull Mall location should be aware of the serious allegations of racial profiling and the consistent feedback regarding significantly overpriced merchandise, including figures and possibly other items, as well as clearance prices that may not offer real value. No information about the store's environment beyond being located in the Trumbull Mall, specific services offered, or any current promotional information (beyond the criticized clearance) is available from these reviews.

    My boyfriend visited this establishment today to buy a vinyl for me. He ended up leaving without purchasing anything because he was being racially profiled by the employee behind the counter & the employee working on the floor at the time. Do better FYE or continue to lose customers. (In addition to your overpriced records) 🫤👎🏾

    Charging scalper prices for figures. For context: Other collector based websites and nearby stores will sell standard star wars the black series figures for the price of 25-26 dollars. FYE will charge you a full 20 dollars more on top of the standard price for their newer arrivals. So you'll be paying greedy Online scalper prices for a figure you can litterally find anywhere else for less. Even their clearance isn't even clearance, still selling the same figures you can find anywhere else for instead of 25 dollars for 29-30 dollars. (Price will change depending on the figure) To add (and not confirmed): Chances are, their other merchandise is charged the same way. Twice the price of what the manufacturer sets the price for to double on profit. I expect this from 3rd party online stores, not a chain like FYE. Long story short, a place that used to scream Nostalgia, and good times at the trumbull mall is being lead none other by scammers trying to make a quick buck, but most people aren't that stupid.

    Dishonest and Scammy Business Practices! I went to FYE for some Christmas shopping and picked up some stuff. At the register, the cashier offered me 10% off by becoming a member. I initially declined, but he insisted it wasn’t a credit card. When I asked if it was a standard rewards program where I could earn points for discounts, he said yes. However, after signing up, he handed me two pamphlets and casually mentioned it included a $12 monthly membership and a $15 magazine subscription. When I questioned this, he brushed it off, saying it was a free trial and I could cancel anytime by calling the numbers on the pamphlets. What followed was a nightmare—hours spent on the phone over the weekend calling two different numbers to cancel these memberships I never wanted. I even had to call back because the cancellations weren’t processed immediately. This was an absolutely horrible experience and felt like a bait-and-switch scam. Beware of their misleading tactics, and shop elsewhere!

    I walked in here because the place had a lot of sales, but honestly, nothing seemed like a true discount. Some of the stuff they offered was either the same price compared to on my Amazon App or Amazon had it a little cheaper. I can wait for Amazon then pay a lot more in person. Overall, though, the place was cleaned and organized and bright in there.

    While the arcade days have vanished, FYE is still a spot for me to visit every time I pass by. Excellent selection of truly unique items and apparel. A+
