I went through about 12 boxes and 3 stacks of golden and silver age books and ended up buying 12 comics. Prices were fair, but the best part is their comic grading is spot on! So many dealers today badly overgraze their books, but these guys know what they're doing. They sell slabbed books too. Overall, a fantastic experience!

Customer service was great from person at the front and back counters. A guy with white hair was…read moretalking very loudly from the upstairs portion. Kept shouting in the phone because he or the person the phone was having cell service issues. Loud enough everyone in the store could hear. He proceeded to yell at his employees asking for someone to get him another phone. The nice guy at the front ran to get him a comic because he misheard. The guy yelled at the guy saying he "asked for a damn phone". Ruined my experience and I decided not to support the business.

Wow! This store was…read morerecommended to me by a Vancouver friend. Growing up in New York I had many toys/toy brands from Europe and in raising my son I've been looking for a lot of the toys I remember from my childhood. I found my beloved Moulin Roty toys here to give to my son. The selection here is an awesome combine of whimsical aesthetic while simultaneously avoiding much of the plastic that has come to be a part of childhood. They also shipped easily back to the Bay Area.

Granville Island Toy Company is a fun toy store. One thing I've noticed and love about Vancouver,…read morethere is a toy store in every neighbourhood. Actually, I notice there tends to be individual services (florist, fruit/veg stand/ butcher/ baker) for most things in each area...very different from the US...and I think it's much nicer. Granville Island Toy Co. has been around for quite awhile. The emphasis is on quality play things, but they do have some of the latest trend items also (like Frozen dolls). The shop is nicely laid out. The displays are inviting. It is easy to find things. On my last visit, I noticed a bunch of siege engines and Da Vinci machine models on display. They were very well made and would be so fun to mess with. This store has a great selection of popular, high end toys: Playmobil, Calico Critters (I lovvvve Calico Critters), Legos, Schleich. More trendy stuff by Funko. An excellent selection of games of all types for all ages & lots of puzzles. Excellent place for stocking stuffers. They also have Corolle dolls - these are lovely for any child that wants a baby doll - they smell like vanilla, so well made & sweet looking. The staff here is friendly and knowledgeable. They aren't pushy. Granville Island Toy Co. offers gift wrap, gift cards and has a nice customer loyalty program. You get $5 for every $100 you spend and an invite to their annual 25% off sale. A fun stop for any toy lover visiting Main Street!

However, the shop owner reached me out immediately after she noted my post. I appreciate she brought another set to my home for exchanging mine in person. This one looks better. Even I had not good shopping experience initially, now I do appreciate for her professional, prompt and thoughtful services after she noted my disappointment. She is responsible owner and do care about customers.

Also you will find handmade unique and slightly creepy art throughout the building. Bonus points for the store with all of the "magic" tricks and gags - the fake poo was surprisingly realistic looking. At the back of the building, there is a place to sit, feed ducks, and captain your own pirate ship. Ahoy mateys!

This store is located in the crystal mall on the 2nd floor…read more I like coming here for the Gundam kits. They have a wide selection and at reasonable prices, cheaper then the Sakura Media in Metrotown mall. They also sell packages of the paint pens. as well as your other generic hobby paints and equipment. They also sell: Takara Beyblades (the japanese brand that makes beyblade) and accessories. As far as I know the beyblades vary in price depending on which one you want to get. I can't say for sure how much they average around since I have no interest in buying one. Trading cards (yugioh, pokemon, etc...), along with deck boxes, and sleeves. Plushies A few anime trinkets (near the entrance) like key chains and wallets. And some random accessories and things (umbrellas, and cellphone cases)

How a retailer responds when there is a problem is when you really find out what they're like…read more Unfortunately, Toy's Planet is a prime example of a retailer that isn't doing the "buy local" movement any favours. I have purchased 4 Beyblades from Toy's Planet over the last few months which cost roughly $120 in total. My most recent purchase was a Beyblade with a string launcher that jammed after the first 30 minutes of usage. This was my first Beyblade purchase that included a string launcher which was a stocking stuffer for my son at Christmas. When I went back to Toy's Planet the day after the string launcher jammed: - I received horrendous customer service and was basically told that the broken launcher was my fault because they don't know how it was used - It was made very clear that Toy's Planet does NOT stand behind the products they sell - There was absolutely no acknowledgement or appreciation of repeat customers whatsoever So if you are buying a product from Toy's Planet that has the potential to break or malfunction, you may want to consider making your purchase from another retailer (or Amazon) that you know will stand behind their products because if something does go wrong, Toy's Planet has clearly demonstrated that they will not do what most retailers do which is make things right for the customer.

I don't see One Piece Funkos often, so I was happy to have stopped by and will likely visit again. I don't agree with the comment below that says that owner was distant/cold, but rather, he was working to display more figurines/merchandise for customers and did greet those who entered.

Prices are also more competitive than the other Japanese stores. Btw, they have discounted items that are near expiring that is crazy excellent pricing and I've never had an issue with.
