Friendly staff, good atmosphere with decent prices for the most part. The one downside is that it's a smaller location and, because of this, the inventory can be lacking at times. This is especially true nowadays when it comes to Xbox 360 or Nintendo DS titles, where they often won't have more than a handful.

The booking process was super easy and on the day of the party, everything went smooth. The trailer is pretty cool and easy to spot for our guests. We were lucky that the park in front we live by had a big parking lot. The inside was so clean and the games were all working great. We will definitely keep American Gamingtrailer on the list for our future parties and events! By the way, the owner is also very professional and his game coach was easygoing with the kids. I didn't run into any issues at all. Note: feed your game coach and tip him well :)

Absolutely the best experience for our son's 10th birthday!…read moreThe truck came early to set up so at exactly 11am it was ready to welcome guests.

The truck was tidy and organized.

Planet Mix is located in Redwood City…read more Planet Mix is a part of The Record Man -- located in the back. Their focus is on video games, but they have many discounted items -- vinyl, CDs, DVDs, comics. While The Record Man has pricier items, the Planet Mix offers more affordable records. One could spend hours just perusing all of the items they offer. It's a good way to spend a couple of hours. Treasure hunting at its finest.

This place is better for records and not video games. I was looking for some NES games but they…read moreonly had 2. The rest of their selection is Wii, Wii U, X box, PS2, PS3, and PS4 games. They didn't really have a large stock and most of the games were fringe or sports games. There was nothing rare that I saw. Someone does work there unlike the other reviews have said. The good thing is most of the games were cheap $5-$30.

We will definitely use LV Rental again for future events and highly recommend them to anyone looking for party rentals.

First all the positive stuff, amazing displays of the CRT's available, quite a bit if you're in need of a CRT this is the place hands down. Go check em out! The cards are very well displayed and look to be one of the biggest draws of the store. Now for the downside at least for me as a game collector I cannot walk up and touch a case and read a spine from the area they allow you to look from. I'm 56 yo full disclosure, I cannot read the damn title spines even with glasses, you know what else I have at 56 other than my eyesight? Actual money to spend at your store. So, fix this, I just walk out after 5 min of eyestrain and will check eBay instead.

EXTREMELY UNWELCOMING…read more -I went here for a pre release event a few months ago, One Piece OP-09. It went Ok, worker behind the counter was somewhat helpful as I have never been to a pre release event before. But him and no one else would have any kind of friendly/communication. I get it most people in this scene tend to be socially awkward. But that isn't what this review is about. Today I went to the next pre release event. A full house compared to last time. The "locals" crew was there looked me up and down, wasn't greeted and just looked at as if I should not be there. Very bad and unwelcoming energy. The guy behind the counter, (same as last time) verified me through the Bandai + app before i went to the room where the event and games would take place. One more "local" showed up and then he comes to the back, asks to look at my application again, and made an excuse saying I have the wrong one and that I am not part of the event anymore. Instead of causing a scene I just left. Absolutely terrible. Bandai makes the app and these events a specific way. Just because your group who comes to locals night regularly wants in and shows up late, you make up a reason to eject someone who was properly registered for an event. F- Will not be going back to this place again.

Came in to get some games and some trading cards. Guy working said hi and pretty much ignored us…read morethe rest of the time, he was to busy chatting with another customer and looking through Pokémon cards to help anyone else.

Stores like these are becoming a dime a dozen because more often than not it is becoming less and less profitable to maintain a hobby shop with so many online competitors. The people who run stores like these are usually very passionate about the community and safety they can provide to individuals who sometimes struggle to find community on their own. Yes the service feels awkward and sometimes stand-off-ish but if you're in the store to begin with you've likely encountered personalities like this before that exist within the TCG circle. I always get what I want at an affordable price and I know I am welcomed even if the service doesn't explicitly read as welcoming when you first walk in.

There were at least three big "game "tables with at least four chairs around each one... And I bought a cup of coffee, left the generous tip and proceeded to sit down at one of the tables in this almost totally empty establishment. The manager or whoever he is proceeded to come over and RUDELY tell me I'm sorry these tables are for people who want to rent them to play games. Really? In this empty place? I just bought a cup of coffee and tip to generously and you're kicking me out because I didn't bring in a group of people to play board games on one of your many empty tables.
