David was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the selection of a remote control and accessories for my Tamiya RC car.
His knowledge and expertise were greatly appreciated, and I'm thankful for his assistance.
The store itself offers a wide range of hobby-related products, and the staff are friendly and approachable.
Overall, Smith Brothers Hobby Center provides excellent customer service and is a great destination for hobby enthusiasts.”
“I found this hobby shop thru an eBay listing and I reached out to inquire about inventory they didn't have listed online. They directed me to their website where they special ordered it for me with stellar, personal communication the whole way. I live all the way in NC and the shipping took only 2 days. I will absolutely be using this store for my hobby needs in the future!”
“this is definitely one of the best RC shops. They have all kinds of cars and brands like traxxas and arrma. I went there to turn my traxxas rustler into an FPV RC car by using an FPV drone camera and mounting it onto the car and Armand was very helpful and nice. The customer service is outstanding i highly recommend this place.”

1922 W Olive Ave, Burbank“Mega atmospheric shop for "Sports memorabilia" fans - signed T-shirts, boxes, cards. You can immerse yourself in this world up to your ears. For me the service was very nice and polite. Only positive impressions”
“One of the best automotive museums in the world. The collections change often so worth going back a few times per year. Parking is expensive ($21) in the garage.”
“We were in LA for a few days on a family vacation. One of the things my kids like to do is find magic stores in the area so they can pick up a few tricks. We did a google search and The Magic Apple came up as a possible location. Never knowing what will come up as a search result, we didn’t know what we’d be walking in to. The Magic Apple was the best outcome for what we were looking for. The owner was so upbeat and had high energy. My son walked in the door, was greeted, was asked what he was looking for, got shown a few tricks, bought a few new ones, and walked out happy.”
“I live in PA- which is a ways away from California. I ordered some stickers off of Sticker Planet LA website and they came so quick! They have so many different options as well. Ever since I found out about this store, I have been so sad that I have not been able to travel and check it out. But I feel so much better knowing its so easy to buy stickers online!”

“Great energy and friendly staff. Games are at retail price or higher and this location has fewer board games, but it’s a nice store and they have a decent section.”
“This place is great! I was so afraid when their old location was closed they were gone but rest assured they moved to a new bigger location. Friendly staff great selections, only thing I would change is their back stock needs organizing.”
“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!!”
“Stopped in for a few pains ended up leaving with some new super small brushes and fantastically priced dice they have a pretty large portion of the store dedicated to people coming and hanging out staff were extremely friendly and helpful and every single person seemed like they were having a fun time first time ever going to a gaming shop and can definitely recommend ! Hopefully I can be back soon”
“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.”
“This has been my go to place for all my bird concerns! I absolutely love this neighborhood store. They have everything you need and great prices, especially with the membership they offer. Customer service is outstanding. I especially want to thank Joe for always helping make decisions about bird feeders and food, and for being so kind in helping me carry stuff to my car. He really went the extra mile. I love coming here! Really recommend this store to everyone!”
“We have been working with Standing Bear's Trading Post for at least the past 15-20 years. The quality of leather they provide is amazing and Sandi Howling Wolf Lightfoot is always easy to work with. I will 100% support this small business over any other large corporation trying to sell leather and leather supplies.”

19640 Ventura Blvd, Tarzana“Great shop with great people. Customer service is top notch, are willing to give deals, have great selection from vintage to new, and have even bought a card from me at a ver fair price. If I didn’t live an hour away and had the opportunity to go more than just when I visit family, I would. Employees take the time to talk to me and my girlfriend, have a great selection, and the owner is a cool guy. My girlfriend isn’t asking me to leave after being there for 4 minutes, which should say a lot to all of you who drag better halves with you to card shops!”
“Really nice store, lots of different genres of games TTRPG, TCG, board games, and minis and lots of paints some citadel and also Vallejo brand colors and primers and brushes also. Went on a Sunday and noticed lots of people playing some mtg and yu gi oh also couple guys doing some Warhammer so it's definitely a popular place to chill.”
“We're a D&D party of 8 plus DM, and we couldn't find a place willing to accommodate a group of our size until Paper Hero's Games! The staff is so kind and helpful and they always make sure we have a space to play and everything we need. Special shout-out to Olivier who's always so friendly and accommodating. Though the player community here is more Magic-focused, the store also has a great selection of board games, D&D miniatures, and dice. Oh, and cheap snacks and drinks — a boon for those 4-hour sessions when my party is desperately trying to survive the mortal danger I throw them into.”

1137 S Robertson Blvd, Los Angeles“Needed help answering some questions about a baseball player from the early 2000s named Derrek Lee so I called this place. I was super impressed with him knowing about a baseball player from the 90s early 2000s. This baseball players dad played in Japan and he grew up and went to grade school in Japan. I was confused on the regulation and “World Baseball Classic” eligibility and he knew EVERYTHING. I really needed it explained to me, I like to understand the rules and regulations even if I’m not a baseball player or collector. Thanks for helping me understand my retro video game and clarifying that he is in fact able to play for the world baseball classic Team Japan.”
“I've only purchased singles and sealed mtg product, but the folks working there seem pretty nice. They've answered a lot of my questions and are very attentive to the people shopping there. There is a kiosk in store as well if you need to search up more cards.
I usually order my cards online and pick up in store and have not faced any issues with it. There's been a few times where they could not find the card in stock and I got my money back in store credit.
Parking can be a bit of an issue in the latter half of the day because it is a busy plaza, but I do not hold that against them.
Great independent store with a lot of products.”
“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”
“My son and I come here at least once a week. The guys who work at Sports Source are very helpful and knowledgeable and professional.
Great place for Pokemon and basketball cards!”
“These guys informed me about getting my cards GRADED...pretty honest with me and helped me out alot.if u have valuable.baseball..basketball..and comic books.your thinking of selling.these guys no what there talking about.they answered all my questions.and helped me out alot.”
“Best card shop out there with fair pricing. Only store I buy Pokémon and TCG product. Have been coming here for about 7 years now. Great staff! Loved their Sunday League for Pokemon, cant wait to get back to it!”
“If I die and get to go to heaven, I am going to ask the bus driver to stop at Blick so I can load up on supplies. I will unload my haul at the gates and wait for all the cool kids (aka the creatives) to come meet me. I will let them use all of my markers, paper and paint in exchange for their advisement on how to best decorate a proper heaven.
Until then, I rely on the incredibly helpful staff at Blick as tour guides to my life's aspirations.”
“I purchased a few Pokemon box sets here. They had quite an impressive variety to choose from. The gentlemen who helped me were very kind and had a great sense of humor. Very satisfied.”
