We bought several boxes, including the One Piece blind box, Nook, Finding Unicorn x Agan American Vintage and a panda that was on display as it was the last one.

There is no public restroom, so they told me to go next door to the laundry mat. Parking is street parking, but what ive done is park inside the liquor store parking lot, go inside the store and buy some snacks/drinks/food, and then go into the hobby shop. They offer gift cards in case you dont know what to get for your hobby friend.

I'm a private Pokémon card collector that has never ventured into the world of buy/sell/trade, so I decided I'd call a few shops in the area to see what they'd recommend, and this is exactly how this conversation went. Guy answers phone, i asked him if he had a minute to answer a couple questions i had. "i mean i have a few people I'm helping right now but yeah sure" I proceed to explain that i was looking for guidance or advice on how to offload my extensive Pokémon card collection as I'm moving out of the area, and i was wondering if they had a buyer or something of the sort that would sit down with me and run through it to see what they're willing to buy, etc. He responds, "oookay. Are you planning on paying someone for that?" Confused, i asked what he meant? "Basically what I'm getting at is no, we don't do that. I have a guy here that's really knowledgeable about that kinda stuff but i wouldn't wanna waste his time" I thanked him for his "candid" (read: completely rude) response and that i would look elsewhere. Needless to say I'll never step foot here again.

Found out a month later it's a famous fake. Would not return any of my multiple emails about it. Took the money and run. Couldn't figure out why a Koufax auto was so low in price and now I know why. Got Ebay and the credit card company involved and got my money back so the scumbag did lose out in the end. Plus listed him in Autograph magazine as a thief as well in numerous sports cards websites all over. If you do a search of Melrose Sports cards and Koufax fake autos, you'll see this guy is marked as a thief everywhere. Guys like this destroy the hobby. Again, Melrose Sports cards purposely sold me a fake Sandy Koufax autograph and would not return any emails when I found out. Do not give this shyster your business.

I dropped in to buy a present for my little friend Odin S.'s seventh birthday and immediately got what I needed. I am a 38-year-old mom with one salient common interest with many young children: I've played Pokémon GO since 2016, when most of the kids I know were not yet alive. I am a daily player, and even own a Pokémon GO Plus +, an autocatcher in the shape of a Poké Ball. My own children have shown great interest in this device, which I keep telling them is definitely not a toy. The adults in my life are unimpressed by my Pokémon prowess, but I've gotten pretty good mileage showing my CP4234 Mewtwo and various shinies to Odin. He has, in turn, told me all about the card game and general Pokémon lore. I got him a bunch of Pokémon cards for his sixth birthday, and the gift was enough of a hit that I decided to buy him more. I found Turn Zero on Yelp and called ahead to make sure they had Pokémon cards in stock. They did, and the guy on the phone gave me a full rundown of what they had available. While they weren't selling individual packs, they did have sets that sounded like they'd make great presents. The shop is in that huge Koreatown strip mall with the My Gym and El Pollo Loco, where I've found that parking is usually easy. I didn't explore much, but it looked like it was about the size of a corner store, and it was well stocked with game-related inventory. Lots of games, of course, plus accessories, books, figurines, etc. The guy I talked to on the phone was there behind the counter. He was nice and helpful and hooked me up with a handsome box of Pokémon cards. Odin was really happy with his gift. Given my own tendencies (I enjoyed plenty of manga in my youth, and while I never played Magic the Gathering, I got really into Hearthstone for a while), I think it's somewhat likely that my sons will be little gamers. I have a feeling I'll be back to Turn Zero Games.

They have a really big selection for Magic, but not much outside of that, which is what I was hoping for. I guess I was just in the wrong type of store. Everyone that was in the store, including the employee, didn't say anything, but gave us weird looks for being there. I'm not really sure why. There shouldn't be anything wrong with outsiders just checking the store out.

We didn't know the family or child well, only that he was turning four and has an older brother. I purposely wanted to shop local and support an independent business, and a quick search on Yelp led me here. We arrived about an hour before closing on Saturday, which was great because parking meters end at 4pm and we found parking out front easily. We were greeted by an employee behind the desk as we walked in. She asked if there was anything she could help us find, and I let her know we were first time customers looking for a birthday gift with the details mentioned above. She let us know the layout of the store, her suggestions, but let us look freely. Over time more customers arrived with small children, and received the same courteous service. The store is clean and curated. I appreciated seeing well made toys and items inspiring imaginative play, rather than cheap plastic with distracting lights or sounds. I eventually chose a doctor play set as well as some items for my own children, such as animal figures and stamp markers. They offer free gift wrapping, which is a nice touch. The one alarming fact that stood out is that there were many empty storefronts on their block, so it's more important than ever to support our local economy. Their prices reflect investment in well made items, so I would not come here expecting big box store deals. In a world full of Target and Amazon, I would rather spend my money supporting a local, independent business. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back with our kids this holiday season.
