The shirts and gifts section was entertaining but overall, I would have liked to see a good selection of old school records available for sale, regardless if they were used or brand new. They did sell record players just in case you didn't have one from the 1980's.

If their website had availability of items in their individual locations, like Lee Valley does, that would help. I have way better luck calling the Guilford location. Usually on the first attempt. They put items aside for me, too. I will never shop at the Metropolis location again. Whoever manages the location should do something about it. People wonder why amazon and on-line businesses are so popular. Well, these small local businesses have to get their act together. Honestly, how hard is it to answer the phone? BTW, record stores like Red Cat Records in Vancouver along with all the other independents do a great job. What I was looking for was not in stock at the indie shops. Sunrise website shows item in stock on-line, but suggest calling local stores to see................. well, yeah, if they ever answer their phones. And, the Coquitlam Centre store never answers their phone, either. Kudos to the managerial staff at Guilford. So, 5 stars for them.

Tucked away in a little mall type of situation, if you think you are lost, you probably aren't!…read moreJust find a place to park and walk in...and eventually you will find it. A gem of a place, with a super knowledgeable and friendly proprietor. He certainly knows his vintage punk, and had a few punk offerings of that ilk in the store. Heck, he knows Joey Shithead, as well as members of the Dishrags! Not really a store for new records as it is a used record shop, but everything is in great shape. While not a large place, they have plenty of selection in there. Definitely worth a regular stop if you are nearby, as they seem to actively search out new stock.

Go park in the FREE parking lot. If you walk up to the front doors and still think you have made a mistake as the doors are locked and you need to buzz in.... just walk down the few stairs and go in the lower door on the left. You're still nailing it. Good for you! Located in the basement mall, it's the coolest little place. Great vinyl selection, reasonable prices, and solid quality. The gentleman running the shop is the friendliest vinyl lover you will ever meet. He even hosts live music here!

Oddly I became most recently a hard media anime collector, now the problem with that is where do I…read morefind this kind of stuff to buy as online options have become limited. While doing searches for "anime video bluray stores near me" this one came up. I will admit, I have never know or heard about this place, and yet this place has been around, I have driven past this place many times without even knowing it ever existed. And since knowing about this place this year I can say it is a place I truly enjoy being lost in. They do have a website, and the website alone brings you back to the days of early webpages, there is a certain charm to it. Then you come to the store, and there is a lot of stuff, not just anime, but if you are looking for hard media, blu-ray, 4K, hard to find movies, and even manga, the selection looks like they are totally overstocked as there is even items in boxes on the floor. The people who work here are awesome too, as usually I do an order directly to their website and leave a note to process my card on file and will come pick it up. So if you are looking for an experience of going into a 'video' store, this one may overwhelm you in a good way, and sometimes you might not know what you are looking for, and that is fine, the people here know what they carry, and also can guide you to the area that is of your interest, just like me, you will find me at the center, in the anime isle browsing through titles, and them practically having a hand already on my credit card.

Plus they have DVD, Blu-ray and even laserdisc. Counter gent was an old school movie geek like myself and was super fun to chat movies and the like with. I even headed off to the new sales Videomatica store afterwards and since I bought very little, went back to purchase more including a lessor-seen but reasonably priced Atom Egoyan collection of early films. (They covet the greats!) This store has it all in both rentals and sales - both of which are reasonable. LOVE THIS STORE!!!!!

On-street parking is always available for a quarter, with grocery and liquor store on same block plus quick eats across the street. Browsing with friends is priceless. There is no icebreaker like proposing and then having to defend the potential awesomeness of "Krull" from 1983. Staff are fittingly knowledgeable and casually geek about the films. Price is high. Late charge (over 7 days for regular titles) is just 50¢/day.

I am surprised that this place is actually that nice inside. I know you are probably questioning…read more what do I mean? Well, I have heard about this place and that they sell records and CDs and etc. I have never went inside. I decided to go in and see for myself. Outside looks like one of those old ghetto shops on Commercial Drive that looks like they have been here forever. Yeah maybe they have been here forever. I mean at least 20 years. Or even more. Inside was very well organized and bright. They have some pretty cool records for sale. Unfortunately, I am not one of those music advocate/ artist. I mean I do understand the music quality is better on records. To me I would not care much if I listened music on a CD or radio or ipad or ipod vs the highend record player. They have pretty good stuff here.
