I trusted that their store had decent prices but realized they’re just price gouging. Their prices are inflated compared to 401, Hobbiesville, Miraj, and others. They charged a restocking fee even on the tax I paid even though this order wasn’t delivered. Quick way to make money guys ! Buyer beware. Don’t fall for their tacky social media posts lmao

Normally I would have good service here. I would buy a few booster packs and chat with some of the staff who are usually friendly. I did not like my recent experience here. I was just picking up a single card and one staff member (Asian guy with short hair and facial hair) was acting a bit rude and weird towards me. He needs to learn to have better manners and customer service. I will still stop by here once in a while but would just avoid approaching to him in particular.

I've previously purchased several gundam kits and tools from Banana Games and have always been very happy with their selection! Staff are very knowledgable, friendly and helpful. Went again recently with a couple friends and ended up doing some shopping on their 30% off plushie sale. Everyone who helped us were so so nice and went and above and beyond to help us. BIG thank you to Patrick and Jen :)

Best card shop downtown by far, the staff are super welcoming, the vibes are awesome. They have Pokemon and One piece cards in both English and Japanese (On a side note I’m always pulling my best hits from this store). They also host tournament and other cool events. If you’re not there for the cards, they have a ton of awesome blind boxes to choose from.

I’m usually one for art in Pokémon cards, so it’s rare that I buy one since I’m not an avid collector, but I just couldn’t help but snag this one. This store has the most prettiest and cutest collection of Pokémon cards and the lot of prismatic eveelution cards! both Japanese and English versions, I’m coming here again in the near future
