Came Christmas shopping here and spent 328 on a figurine just for it to be broken in 3 different places. Went to see if anything could be done and “we can’t do anything about it sorry”Do not shop here. Waste of money and time.

It's a great store and all, the employees are nice, there's always something to look at/ buy, but (especially with model kits) some of the prices are outrageous.

BEWARE THE MAGIC CHANGING PRICES.When I moved out to WA I was so happy to find a store like this. At the mall no less. I visited many times and it was great, their stock has grown a lot. HOWEVER, my last visit was my final visit. I had already noticed plenty of figures either overpriced or scalper priced, as in higher than youd see online, but I still managed to spend hundreds of dollars here happily on figures. A lot of prices are just enough to say might as well. What happened my last day was just gross. I asked the employee at the time to get a figure down for me to look at, he does so, then mentions the price along the way. It was a great price actually, about 175. I was elated, and with the figure in my hands checked around the store some more. That was my mistake. I guess the employee took it upon himself to look up the price of my future figure online. Thats when he came over to me, took it out of my hands, and said that the price was wrong. It was actualy 360 dollars. WHAT? In my mind too little too late man, but he took it anyways. Even went ahead and changed the price of similar figures too. The employee contacted the owner for me and the owner decided tough luck too, even if i already had it in my hands. No way to meet inbetween either. I will never be going back. But to anyone in the future if you are buying a figure, go straight to the counter and pay or else they might change the price on you then and there. >:/

As the name implies this Tacoma Mall shop is focused on anime. Some of the merchandise is interesting but I am greatly out of date with what is popular Japanese animation these days. I am "old school". Not as old school as the Speed Racer admirers but from the time of Akira and Space Adventure Cobra. I still do see Akira merchandise from time to time and it gladdens my heart to have been there when the film and reading material first came out.Of course there are Pokémon merchandise everywhere and I would have been living under a rock if I didn't know any of them but it also helps to play Pokémon Go in recognizing some characters.Very strict rules about no eating or drinking in the store which I think makes sense and I think overall most stores don't want you in there eating or drinking when you are browsing anyway. Some of the staff really get into the anime and Japanese street clothes culture here which I think is fantastic and a very refreshing change of pace from people going out in public to shop or work in their pajamas.Lots of models, magnets and other things of a souvenir nature but again...I didn't recognize many characters as it's newer anime. They did have some movies and TV shows in a small physical media DVD section I liked.Some candy here which I keep an eye on. I like Hi-Chews but at this point I have tried most of the flavors. Grape being my favorite one but I keep an eye out for different Pocky flavors as there are quite a few I haven't tried but in the case of this store it's the usual flavors you see in most small anime shops, posh import stores and occasional grocery stores.

This is a great place to window shop, but be prepared for some pretty high prices anything catches your eye that you actually want to purchase. More popular licensed stuff like Pokemon merchandise seems especially marked up. But its a fun store to look around in, at least!

Changed the price at the register. The sticker price on this figure was 136 and when we remarked that it was a good deal, the associate whipped out his phone and then told us at the register that it was actually 338 and that it was priced wrong. Manager at the store wouldn't honor their own price or the online price match with Amazon to make up for it. Sketchy behavior.
