“I love this place. They have a wall trying to keep up with the latest comic books that I can appreciate. Not sure how to explain but if I wanted the 10 latests comics of a series, probably couldn't get it but they still have the latest comics. Apologies if I didn't explain that well. There's a ton of collectibles so if you're looking for a gift or anything to decorate your house, solid options here. Shirts are a lil too nerdy for me but they seem to have been made of solid material. Customer service is great. They've always been helpful while I've been here. Not sure about the prices but it's like the toys r us for comic book shops”

“Just left. Bought some IC-2000 and kicker. I wanted to say "thank you" to whoever it was that anwered my questions about Mr. Surfacer products. The bearded gentleman at the computer. He has consistantly had helpful advice without being one of those "You're doing wrong" kind of guys. He's much more of the "You might try this" types. Offering up resourceful suggestions. He obviously knows the products and recommends complimentary goods that will work toghether. It was my 2 or 3rd time asking questions. BHOH has good staff. The hobby world can be full of overbearing know it alls. This guy is a refreshing character that has your back. Thanks Dude, Bruce,”

“Great car collection. It is a mistake not to visit the vault. The Tesla exhibit is lame. People working there are great. The cafe isn’t bad at all. Overall, would go again.”

“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.”

“I was visiting from the east coast and stopped in on a weekday. I was looking to purchase a few things and Brent set me up with exactly what I went in for and needed. He happily demonstrated things in my area of interest and recommended an outstanding book. It’s great to have a shop to visit and an expert to talk with. I will be in again on my next trip to the area. Thank you Magic Apple.”

“They have a lot of stuff, and if you don't know what you need, (as in you if something breaks and you don't know what it is) then they will help. They are also very nice. They have a lot, and if they don't have what you need then they will order it for you and call you when it arrives. They even told me about a cool spot for driving rc cars that I think they made. Great place. /. 5 cats out of 5”

“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.”

“I had them repair and make a few custom beaded necklaces for me and they did a careful, thoughtful and beautiful job. Very much curated collection of exquisite beads. I didn't see anything in the store that I thought was low quality. Got a ton of compliments on my necklaces made by this bead shop. Good customer service and reliable. Finished the necklaces in the time frame as promised.”

“Mega City One is amazing!! It may not look like much from the outside, but if you love comic books like me, it has mostly EVERYTHING you are looking for to meet your regular comic book fixes!! I've been going to this store for years and they rarely let me down. The owner and JON who's runs the store are incredible and have a wealth full of knowledge. Beyond that, they will go to the extra mile to make sure that your comic book needs are fullfied and you and your needs are fully taken care of. Also, Mega City One far exceeds their closest competition, that "Rotten Apple" place down the street! Forever, for me, Comic Books have always stood for "Truth, Justice and the American Way!" When I visit Mega City One, I feel like I'm stepping into the Daily Planet where hidden greatness can be found. They are so much better than President's Lex Luther's villains lair down the street. Can't recommend Mega City One's excellent customer service enough! They will take care of you and you will NOT ever be disappointed!!”

The quality of the products they offer is top-notch. My son had a blast assembling it, and the finished model looked incredible. Plus, the price was very reasonable for the quality we received. We'll definitely be back for more hobby supplies!”

“An appreciator of the creators, players, and innovators at Paper Hero's Games - a small board game, comic book, novelty collector and table game shop, including trading card [Pokemon, Star Wars Unlimited, Flesh & Blood, etc] + role playing [like the classic D&D]. I've stopped in to check out the inventory and collections, which is super limited on the comic side, okay for graphic novels, but truly excels at Table Top games. The people are beyond friendly and I do recommend checking it out. I've gotten gifts for friends and a new game or two. PHG has grown and changed over the years becoming a super social card collector, player and topside gamer spot with events as well as tournaments. It's no purchase for entry to play games. Someone on duty might be right up front or getting their Loracna on... a newer growing Disney based trading card game. Their Facebook or Instagram being the place to keep up with the latest, not to mention their sibling stores near Sawtelle, Los Angeles, Santa Clarita and a new (coming soon) location in Huntington Beach. Parking is a small share lot with Nat's Early Bite Coffee Shop, Gift Worx, Oswaldo Lifestyle Fitness, and a few others in this Burbank [Blvd] Plaza mix. Way more parking options on the street with few restrictions [some 2hr limits].”

“I am house sitting for a friend in Pacific Palisades and needed to get supplies for the numerous bird feeders around the property. I was directed to Wild Birds Unlimited. I am so pleased to give this business an outstanding review not only for the quality and availability of products. Also for their outstanding customer service. The store employee, Julie, was extremely knowledgeable, full of suggestions and ideas, and very helpful. Julie, did not make me feel rushed or that she didn't have the time. Not only that but she helped to carry my purchases to the car. I can tell you, while I lived in Morro Bay, CA one would be hard pressed to get service let alone help to one's car. It should be noted, the parking lot, for this store is behind the store off of Centinela. I am very pleased with this business and will continue to be a customer for my own aviary needs as well as for my friends home in the”
