Shop located in Oakland that specializes in collectibles and primarily Manga and Anime IPs and…read morecharacters. The place looks like it's located within a residential home so it threw me off at first. But there's a sign at the front. The folks here are very friendly and they're very knowledgeable. In terms of value, it's hard to say only because there are a lot of items that are highly collectible in addition to your run of the mill, newer IP's. In my opinion, I feel like the prices are pretty fair, especially since they may have some hard to find pieces that collectors are looking for. I came here with my nephew before we had dinner in the area. He's a big fan of anime and manga and especially things related to Godzilla. He ended up buying a figure. Just a really cool store in a very unexpected non-descript place.

It's fun, but could use some more energy, like maybe some music or signs, or maybe it's supposed to be more of an anime figurine room of a house. Honestly, I think I like it how it is.

This game shop is massive and seemingly has everything (in fact, if they don't, they can probably…read moreorder it for you). Lots to explore. Board games, co-op games, strategy games, trivia games, coloring books, origami & craft kits, stuffed animals, toys, and puzzles galore, including unique brainteasers. I came for the jigsaw puzzles of course, and they had such an awesome variety available on display. It didn't take long to find a winner for me and my bf. A new 1000-piece puzzle, Greg "Craola" Simkins: Let The Outside In, the perfect quirky art piece for our next puzzling adventure. Service was fast and friendly at the purchase counter, and parking was free and easy in the Telegraph Channing Garage nearby.

About a year ago, I walked into this store out of curiosity while they were hosting an event. It…read morewas packed with tables full of people playing different tabletop games I didn't recognize. Immediately, a staff member greeted me and introduced me to a group of people, encouraging me to exchange information with them. I was a bit too shy to join in that night, but I really appreciated the effort. You gotta love a place that goes that far to make a "noob" feel included. During a more recent visit without all the tables of people, it's still a cozy store with a warm and inviting environment. Upon walking in, I could tell the staff genuinely enjoyed being there. As I was browsing, a staff member told me about their puzzle trade. For a few bucks, you can trade the old puzzles you own with a selection of their used puzzles. I'll definitely be making the most of this deal. This is an Oakland gem that I can't recommend enough. If you're looking for a kind and welcoming community, this is a great one. I'll definitely be returning.

I liked seeing part of a shelf that highlighted local California games. Seems like a great community spot as the Friday night had some sort of Magic the Gathering tournament and they were open pretty late. There are around 5-6 folding tables of seating across the store. We spent some time browsing but no staff members approached us. It was a little stuffy inside but better away from the used games in the back.

The store is cramped and ceilings are low, so be mindful of any big purses or backpacks - you wouldn't want to knock over any of the delicate figurines. The place sells mostly Gundams. Not as many Real Grade (RG) gundams available, but still a great place to check out. Prices are marked on a majority of the products which I appreciate, though I still did find some items that didn't have a price tag stuck on it. Overall a cool place to check out if you're just browsing and seeing if anything catches your eye, but not if you're hoping to find something super specific (you might be able to call ahead of time to check inventory but I haven't tried this)

This place has serious issues with pricing transparency and customer treatment…read more I agreed to a verbal price for a bracelet repair and cleaning. When I received the receipt, the total was $5 higher than what was discussed. When I asked about the increase, the owner responded aggressively and said it was "tax," even though tax was never mentioned beforehand and prices were not posted. I stated that the pricing felt unfair and decided to leave. As I was exiting, an employee followed me out, physically shoved me out the door, and continued yelling profanities and insulting me in public. The situation escalated unnecessarily and was humiliating. Disagreements over pricing happen, but no customer should ever be threatened, followed, or touched. The lack of transparency and professionalism here is unacceptable. I strongly recommend going elsewhere.
