“I wandered into this (mostly) vacant mall not expecting to find anything at all, but was very pleasantly surprised to discover the sole shining light at the very back: THE best gunpla model kit store I've ever seen in LA! Their selection is really impressive. On our visit we found several non-gunpla kits and figures that we'd never seen before, which is saying something. We've been to every store on the nearby Little Tokyo strip several times over and often find the same tired inventory shared between most of them. This place was such a breath of fresh air. Plus, not only are the prices extremely fair, but they actually have sale items!! Several Mobile Suit Gundam kits from the latest The Witch From Mercury line were going for 15-20% off, something I've never seen at Anime Jungle or anywhere else in LT. I got the HG Demi Barding for $20, an amazing deal. Highly recommend this hidden gem for all your gunpla needs. Can't wait to go back!”

“I've been here twice and I've walked out a few times with a bunch of figures. I wish I grabbed the Cell figure from there. Other than that, this place is really great and the employees have always been friendly. If you guys want figures for a reasonable and good price, I recommend going to this store.”

“Kyle is the best! He is friendly, welcoming, and so knowledgeable! Every time I have a question about my Necron army, he takes the time to explain thoroughly. I've learned so much already thanks to him. The store is always clean and organized, and there's so much terrain to choose from if you want to play. This store is a must for all your warhammer needs.”

“The girl who helped me was rad and really went out of her way to help me although she was clearly busy. I was being extremely indecisive and she was patient and accommodating. What more can you ask for????Oh I know.Reasonable prices and expectations.This is not a knock on the customer service but whoever is pricing these comics is out of touch with the community. I don't run a store so I can only imagine how hard it is to keep your inventory priced properly day-to-day. But they make apps for that I know because I have one to manage my 3,000 books or so.Also when I attempted to sell / try to trade in some books for either store credit or cash... I offered them Grails and the guy told me that he wasn't interested in buying them because they don't sell which I know might make me sound like I'm being overly confident or egotistical but trust me they were fire books and when I listed them they sold immediately. All I'm saying is we all know in the comic book community it's a give and take I feel like maybe the store might be going through a hard time but they could be doing so much better with the kind of customer service they have in store. I hope you take my comment as careful constructive criticism and not an attack on your shop I'm still giving you four stars for a reason.”

“I LOVE this place!! I've never been able to get any Arknights merch even at anime expo. So seeing it here was so awesome. A lot of genshin stuff too if you're into that. I'm an avid cat girl fan and a LOT of the stuff they have here are cat girls so this place was literally heaven.”

“Parking garage across the street. $1 for first hour. Crowded intersection though.Has a good selection of things. Certain shopliftable material are locked away like paint pens and such. Like Michael’s, could be staffed better.Manager was extremely helpful. Online prices were much better than in-store prices and employee initially wasnt helpful arguing somehow that in the end it is the same…? Eventually manager sorted it out.”

“The customer service was absolutely amazing, and I couldn't be happier with the products I received. They went above and beyond to help me get the table I wanted engraved before Christmas.

“Family friendly, communal, and fosters positive social activities for kids and adults passionate about their various gaming and Tamiya mini 4wd car tuning hobbies.The shop changes the mini 4wd track configuration weekly to provide kids and adults the needed challenge to tune their mini 4wd car accordingly. It's a wonderful STEM hobby that teaches problem solving and modeling skills that benefit from instant feedback in the form of track performance.If one decides to go more than 2 weekends out of the month, I highly recommend purchasing the monthly membership. It pays for the track fee and a 5% discount on Tamiya mini 4wd purchases.Card games, LAN parties, etc also happen regularly.”

“They are very welcoming and can provide good advice on repairs/ work on your model trains. They have a great selection of books and dvds to assist you on your model railroad adventure. They don't have a lot of N scale rolling stock or buildings. Despite the minimal N scale, if that is a scale you are working with, they do provide some basic things like couplers and track to assist you on your journey. For other scale they have a lot of things to get your started or help you continue modeling.”

“We came out here because my daughter needed to make an art project for her little sorority sister. They had everything she was looking for: paddle board, artificial flowers, beads and wooden letters. They have everything arts and crafts. It's a fun place to pass time. I found a bird feeder that feeds about 6 birds. You can find just about any arts and crafts hobby items. And don't forget to use a discount from their website. We got 40% off today, besides the sale items. Great deal!!”

The workers there are so nice and even gave me some free top loaders to try out! Definitely coming back here! Everything is at a very reasonable/fair price! They also had a long table with a glass display full of individual cards to buy, which were so cool to look at! And all of them were graded as well.”

“Excellent customer service. I played the ichiban kuji and won some prizes. When I played it and got a prize but they couldn't find it, they allowed me to pick up a new ticket. I would recommend this store for ichiban kuji because they are willing to accept a loss due to not finding my previous prize and allowing me a chance to win a big prize.”
