Love this place! It's been our go-to stop after happy hour at the Downey Promenade. We added this…read moreplace to our rounds after noticing the claw games, which we thought would be fun to play. It's great entertainment for our baby. As he has aged into a toddler, he now wants to participate which is awesome! The people who work here are incredible. They still remember when we started this routine and have shared in the various emotions we have gone through while playing the games--the ups when we win and the bummer moments when we think we won but the claw drops it short of the slot. It's such a wonderful environment, and the people who work here are friendly and kind. We definitely have a great time every time we visit. As for selection, they have made some changes to the store to include more merchandise and less claw games. The merchandise is great, and there are still enough claw games to play. Heads up: the claw games take the special tokens that you purchase at the back of the store. Overall, this place is amazing! Our little one loves it especially now that he can participate. Great memories have been made here for us. The first time my little one won is a memory I will always remember--just the pure joy is priceless!

BE WARNED DO NOT BUY POKEMON ETBS FROM HERE…read more Yesterday I came across this store with two of my friends and saw they were selling an ascending heroes etb. I decided to purchase it and when I got home and opened it the packed were visibly tampered with. A few packs had a thin silver line showing at the top and some had minor air pockets compared to major store bought packs. Not only that but each pack opened THE EXACT SAME WAY - easily pealed perfectly from the top and down the back middle seal. I paid $180 PLUS TAX so to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. I can't speak for their single packs but after this experience with the etb I'm never purchasing from here again. I stupidly said no to a receipt so I doubt I can ask for a refund now but be warned if u do buy Pokemon cards here BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Located east of of Little Tokyo and north of the Toy District, Mega Toys is the best of both worlds. And between Thanksgiving and Christmas -- I went Dec. 24 -- it's open seven days a week: Working overtime! Basically, this seems to be the warehouse outlet of a toy importer. There are many kinds of toys here, but they tend to range between those with wheels -- any kind, for boys -- and those in pink boxes -- any kind, for girls. Prices range between 75 cents and $40 for the most part, and I picked up some nice items. There are bad-form Go-Bot and Transformers knockoffs with badly translated tray cards and poor design. There are Bratz and other rip-offs, almost indistinguishable from the usual fare. And there are other objects ranging from balls to multi-vehicle toy sets. Many of the toys I'm sure you can find elsewhere in the Toy District, but for a one-stop shop and bargain prices, you can't beat the Mega. Take the walk, or at least stop off in Little Tokyo for the manga and anime shop we skipped and the upstairs Japanese-language bookstore. The toystore itself is worth a trip, I'd imagine even moreso when it's fully stocked. It certainly wasn't the day before Christmas. Toys galore. And glorious.

came here on friday, 5/9 & my bf & i were just browsing. we had purchased smiskis from a boba shop…read moreover a year ago & we saw them here, so we bought two. we opened them across the store & the smiskis did not look like the ones we have. these ones are shiny & a darker color. the ones we got from a boba shop are matte & a much lighter green. we decided to look up fake smiskis & realized that we just bought fake smiskis. i will be contacting your store for a refund because this is extremely disappointing! i'm sure the whole shop has FAKE ITEMS, do not shop here!

I feel bad that I didn't get the employee's name, but he was super nice, helpful, and made the experience even better! The selection was great and the prices were really fair. I honestly expected Nintendo DS games to be around $40 and up, so I was really happy to see that they had plenty of games at much more reasonable prices. I'm so happy I found this place and was able to add some new games to my Nintendo DS collection. Between the Bellflower and Downey locations, Retro Hex is definitely my new go-to place for games.

Cool collectibles are on sale at their store a few doors down, and here - including backpacks;). I also spied a Monopoly Gamer MarioKart box! Venue is available for reasonable rental rates for parties and tourneys. Just see Troy! A variety of beverages (Keurig for hot and a fridge for cold) are available as well as a ton of sweet and savory snacks (the Grub Chest -freezer- is a frozen tundra though) and there is a convenient microwave. Long blue tables hold everyone's backpacks and water bottles, and it was nice to see people chatting and getting to know each other when not in game. And yes, they have a restroom! (Shout out to the very clean restroom with a bidet, no less!). Visit here, game here, and tourney with Pico Plus So Cal Project M Gamers here!

***Buyer Beware*** Do not buy from this business. I…read morepurchased an Evolving Skies ETB from their booth at Frank and Sons. When I got home and opened it, it was obviously fraudulent. There were no packs, only a stack of worthless bulk from random sets. The dividers and sleeves were from 2 other completely different sets. I have reached out to the business and received no response. This leads me to believe they either sold this fraudulent box intentionally or aren't knowledgable enough to recognize a resealed box. Whichever it is avoid this business if you don't want to get scammed.

There's CD's, plushies, posters, photo cards, light sticks, and much more. I'm not that big into K-pop, but if you are, I think this is a good place to stop, in Little Tokyo of all places. You can definitely peruse through their aisles for some time. I liked the amount of Kakao Friends goods that they had here if any. I can't say much for the cost, a bit pricey for me, but I'm used to dirt cheap Japanese Mercari Visual Kei and J-rock prices. Staff welcomed us in when we were there and had smiles on their faces, despite the heat of the summer. It gets SUPER hot in here and they have some fans, but if they even have AC, it's very, very weak.
