“It is a bit of a drive to go here, but I drive to go here. It's the best place for art supplies on Pierce county. They have a high selection of papers. They have all the watercolor papers in whole sheets and even some bigger. They also have a lot of very beautiful decorative papers.”
“Great business that has been around a long time. Need a set or a piece. They probably have it, if you dont see it. Ask.
I have been in a few times in the last year. Always walk out with a treasure.
I have had maybe two conversations with the owner. They were at brickcon and he greeted me like he knew me.”

“Great store lot of cool collectable. Friendly prices are reasonable action figures comic books toys and more something for everyone great gift ideas can be found here.”
“I love everything about this place !!! AWESOME staff and owner ! I went in to grab my son some
awesome summer gear sunglasses, hats, tops, bottoms and more !!!! ?☀️ I will be back ! 10/10!!!!”
“Has a large selection. Large selection of kotobukiya and gundam models. I've gone to anime places from alaska, seattle, phoenix, las vegas. I haven't seen this large of a collection of modoroids and kotobukiya ever. A little priced higher than most places, but these are rare finds so it's okay”
“I love this store! I randomly stopped by yesterday because it was unexpectedly sunny and my toddlers head was burning ? and I was shocked at how affordable the hats, clothing, toys, books were! I had assumed that since it was at Ruston it’d be extra overpriced but it isn’t. Definitely check it out for adobe awesome unique kids toys and hats. The owner us also super sweet and very helpful.”
“Really cute little store with very kind and knowledgeable staff. While it might not be the place you're looking for if you need to be able to walk in and see a huge store with a massive selection, I am sure they will be able to help you find what you're looking for. I went in with the very specific request of a piece that was missing from a set I already owned, and walked out with exactly what I needed. I couldn't be more glad that I visited, and would gladly do business here again.”

3723 S Lawrence St, Tacoma“If you're looking for a fun new way to celebrate an occasion for all ages, this place is a hidden gem! Highly recommend experiencing slotcar racing. Alan the owner was the most generous host with his time, place and guidance to a party of about 40 people who had never slot raced in their life. He graciously let us book a party of 15 kids plus parents and extra family members in the middle of his busy Christmas month. You get access to a large party room with a kitchen and comfy seatings. Free to roam the whole racing floor with so much to look at between the two racing tracks. Even if you're not into car racing, this place evokes nostalgia of being young and wanting to be grown up and experience something new. Really hard to describe how much fun everyone of all ages had. Our son was turning 5 and we didn't want to do the same family fun centers we had been going to with other kids parties all year. I stumbled upon this place and couldn't have been more happy with the event. My son will be talking about this for years, as well as the rest of the family and friends. The logistic things to note. You can bring any food you want to serve. The only ask is to take out all the trash at the end of the party and leave it as you found it. Bring big garbage bags for quick clean up. Ideally plan for 1 hour for racing and 1 hour for food and cake. We were a large group, we went over time due to the learning curve of how to race and picking cars. So I suggest another hour if cars aren't already chosen ahead of time. Alan hosted by himself and improvised our needs as we went and was relaxed on going over time since we pretty much had the venue to ourselves. No rushed feeling of other parties waiting. Front of building parking, full bathroom, full kitchen with fridge, microwave and stove, separate party room, huge open concept racing event space, guided how to race and racing experience. Scores are taken and winners announced! Such a great new experience. Aside from the really affordable venue cost, you have to purchase a car per racer if they don't have one already. So instead of a grab bag, we let each kid choose from the base model of colorful cars to race and take home! They can then now be able to come back and book lanes to race at this place anytime! Overall pretty comparable in costs with other fun centers with add ons. But the experience is so much cooler!”
“I was surprised to actually see a African American section for books in this part of town, I was even more surprised at the level of customer service I received. I'm African American with braids an dress in urban fashion and I'm usually followed when dressed this way in wealthier retail areas, but this store is the complete opposite. Has that small town hospitality vibe every time I enter an I appreciate the patience shown to me an my hyper 7 an 8 year running thru the store . Thank you an merry Christmas”
“visiting this store was spectacular. Great honest price , caden is humble and professional, i went over my limit over rare nice collection of hot wheels. Highly recommend visit for die cast car enthusiasts.”

4502 S Steele St Suite 410a, Tacoma“We had a great experience here for the kids birthdays. We did 3 birthday bears, pikachu, and stitch all dressed and with sounds for just under $200. Birthday bears cost the child’s age they are turning (for us, two $6 and one $2) plus tax. The other stuffies are $30+ or so. Clothing varies $5-$20. Sound is usually around $10.
This is not a cheap experience by any means, and I recommend doing the whole thing (sound and accessories) since that’s part of the magic!
The staff here were incredible with my high energy SPED kids.”
“Although I'm not big on comics, the store itself has a wide variety to choose from. They also have many gifts, posters, and accessories. The store is very well organized and clean. Nice and shiny! I'm no expert on pricing, but they range very differently from very low cost to whoa. The owner was very nice and helpful. He greeted us as we walked through the door. He was always keeping busy by tidying up the place. Definitely worth a look if you're in the area or an avid comic fan.”
“I found some gifts that were a huge hit at Christmas for my nieces and nephews. Things that made them put the new nintendo games down. I'll be back next year.”
“A large selection of clothing for babies & older kids. Prices are good. Also lots of strollers & high chairs. A bit too much clothing on some racks. Open 7 days a week from 10-6 which is convenient for working mama's.”
“For the first time in forever I walked into a store and saw tons of stuff that made me go "Oh my god!" and it was actually in my price range. Great place to find some rare memorabilia or just a little guy to take home.”
“Always helpful, most recently went in because I had a few games that didn’t play very well to get them resurfaced. At 7$ it’s really not a bad deal especially on games that would otherwise cost 40$ to replace, so you can use your own discretion in terms of what games are worth it to save. Decent prices overall.
Edit: Recently traded in some stuff I thought was only worth overall a few bucks but was surprised when it was quite a bit more, they could have easily ripped me off but they gave me a fair amount on my trade in, stand up place all around.”
“Cute shop with good prices and really adorable items. Every time I go the employees are super kind and helpful. Don’t waste your time at other stores in the mall like FYE (which is wayy overpriced and has rude staff) instead go to Fuego and you will have a much better experience!”
“The shop is staffed with really helpful kind employees. They supported my grandson in replacing his screen protector for his Nintendo switch. They went above and beyond.”
“I stopped in to look for a gift and was amazed by the selection of items they had. The ladies behind the counter were full of stories as well as very helpful. If you have children, it could be a challenge getting them to leave. I wish more of these stores still existed.”
