Seller's beware. If you don't know your products really well you will get absolutely hosed here…read more They claim to use E-bay sold listings as their pricing point, but after selling them several items they raised the prices exponentially. Should have walked away, so no one but myself to blame, but don't fall for the friendly neighborhood store facade, it's cut-throat. No transparency on their offering whatsoever. They gave me basically a 32% offer on a lot of products easily worth 1000. Should have walked away, but I didn't, don't make my same mistake, sell it on E-bay, and buy what you are looking for on E-Bay, prices are better both ways.

I have an open claim against them. Monkey Depot is committing fraud and theft of my my funds, after receiving my unopened return.

Instead of properly resolving the issue, they kept referring to their no-refund policy, even though they never delivered the product to me and did not clearly state that it was a preorder before I made the purchase.

Let's also pretend that the staff wasn't extremely friendly, extensively knowledgable on their product and obviously very into the collecting side themselves (I.E. They get excited when I say I want to open my blind box toys in the store to see what I got, and get excited when I get cool stuff, and that's cool to me). Shall we also pretend that it isn't really easy to find, oh, and pretend the store didn't have a really cool, industrial/urban art studio feel to it.... Ok, we all caught up in fantasy land? Well, that all aside, um... Let's see, the parking isn't that great. Seriously one of my favorite spots in Tucson, even if just to pop in for a second and say hi and see if they have any new swag. Keep up the great work lulubell's!!

There are "The Seven Wonders of the World" and then there are "The Seven Wonders of Tucson" and…read moreLulubell Toy Bodega my friends, is one of those seven wonders. Lulubell Toy Bodega is a bewitching, quaint shop seated on a tiny main road running parallel to downtown. It's closer to a more industrial area so unless you know it's there or you're observant while driving, you can easily pass it without knowing it exists. Here's some help: http://vimeo.com/11603704 They're known for their premium (and difficult to find) toys....And when I say premium, I mean prices ranging from practically nothing to the $200 and upward area. I'm not a collectible toy connoisseur but I don't think it's entirely unreasonable pricing considering the people who collect these toys are probably willing to drop that kind of cash. Personally, I'm a fan of their Blind Box toys, the Munny dolls and of course, the plush Domo dolls. Oh, but that's not all.... Lulubell Toy Bodega is a mecca for local artists. They frequently host shows where artists can display their art on their beautiful white walls. This not only enables artists to show their work to a public audience in a more professional manner but it also brings the community together. In other words, it gets those downtown kids out of the bars and into something more meaningful. The owners are so immersed in their customers that I don't actually know who they are; they blend in with everyone else at the shop! (I'll meet you someday Amy & Luke!) Lulubell Toy Bodega is, without a doubt, one of the best businesses in all of Tucson. It would be extreme to say a visit here is worthy of being on a bucket list, but then again, I'm an extreme type of girl. ;) Happy toy shopping!

Very rude and unprofessional…read more I had a very unpleasant experience with Ken. I was trying to sell some old toys, and he was extremely rude and kept interrupting me instead of letting me finish my sentences. He said that they weren't vintage, which made no sense considering some of these toys are 30 years old. Regardless of whether he was interested in buying them or not, he could have communicated that respectfully. Instead, he was dismissive, interrupted me repeatedly, and did not conduct business in a professional manner. Very disappointing experience.

I will always find the issue or trade that I'm looking for specifically at Ash Ave. Everyone that works there is super friendly and helpful. I came in one time seeking the Absolute Batman Annual weeks after it was already sold only to find out there was one issue left that they were selling for a higher price point. I believe the owner was the one who offered it to me as soon as I vocalized how badly I wanted it and he kindly gave me a discount! When I was an avid collector, I used to come weekly here because they have some of the best selection of comics in the Valley. And they're pretty personable too.

If you want truly unique imported Asian goods, Teso Life *needs* to be on your list…read more I find that most local Asian markets have a pretty similar lineup of products nowadays, but I've been able to find sooo many items here that I've never seen elsewhere. My latest obsession has been the wild variety of Pretz and Pocky flavors. We're talking mugwort and soy milk, prosciutto and truffle, and lemon Pretz, as well as five red multi-grain Pocky (red bean, dates, goji berry, longan, red rice) that makes double matcha sound basic. Other standout products include tons of Korean skincare and Biore UV (the actual Japanese formula!). Highly recommend taking a walk around when you're in the mood to try something new, then stopping at one of the millions of dessert shops in the plaza for a sweet treat.

We like to visit once a week or every other week to stock up on snacks and drinks.

They charge $0.10 for their bags but that's going up to $0.25 soon so we've been keeping some of them in the car. This is a place that's fun for the whole family and there's plenty of food and shopping down the strip mall as well. Daiso is also worth looking for more home decor and lifestyle things.
