    So I stopped by Dark Side Games while I was in the area! This store looked clean inside and had a ton of inventory! Jon and Fern were the dudes who helped me and they are both super nice and helpful! Definitely recommend the shop for your hobby needs, worth a visit if you are into any of the games they carry.

    Good assortment of minis to choose from, books a little pricey. You can get same books from Amazon for $10 less.

    Adam slowly went through my collection (unlimited-alliances) and gave very fair prices for things they needed.

    I was in the neighborhood walking around and walked into this store. I did not purchase anything,…read morebut all the staff members we've encountered were very well versed in the hobby. They were extremely friendly and provided me with some insight into this hobby. There were a lot of figurines available, and supplies to paint them. They hold sessions that do not crossover to local shops nearby (Odyssey games, geeky teas, Pegasus, etc.). This is one of 3 Warhammer cafes and the displays they have on the floor come from the European countries. They only sale and allow Warhammer related items in the store. They have some tables where people can play for free and use their space for any social gatherings for Warhammer. They host events here and there for people to learn or gain knowledge in this world. They also have a little Cafe inside where you can get some desserts and drinks. The figurines are costly and this is a very expensive hobby. Even though I didnt purchase anything, they were all very friendly and didnt force us to purchase anything. I believe their intent is to educate people in the art of RPGs and the amazing skills it takes to paint and create figurines. No judgments are given to those who walk into the store.

    If you partake in Warhammer, this is the place to be! Whether you build/paint, play, or read, this…read morecafe has everything!!! I was a beginner when I stumbled in and the staff was super friendly and helpful. They have tips on gameplay, painting techniques, or if you just wanna chat about lore and the new books that are coming out, it's so cool that they're into the hobby and not just there to press buttons on the register. The store is massive and has epic displays throughout, definitely walk around and all the way to the back where the tables are. You can sit there and build/paint or bring your army and use their terrain to play a game; and if you have questions while playing or want to learn to play there's ALWAYS someone knowledgeable to help. Their book section is probably the nicest in the area, they get perks for being the official LA cafe so you can find special Black Library editions which is super exciting for people like me and my mans who have a small library at home. All in all, I love this place, and if you have any interest at all in the world of Warhammer definitely check it out. For the mere price of your entire attention span and available hobby hours you can find not just a game but a community.

    I'm visiting my Son and DIL for two weeks and wanted some Cuban baked goods to snack on. Went to…read moreMarenge which is around a block away from "Baseball Hall of Fame Cards" which I had heard about and decided to drop in and visit. BHOFC is not your typical card shop, the shop is "nicely" set up with display cases in the middle and sides of the shop. It really felt like I was in someone's personal showroom or in a bar with barstools and drink coasters to sit around and talk sports. Lots of family love involved in setting up this shop. So I walked in, get greeted, and eavesdrop on a conversation between another visitor and the owner while checking out the shop. The other visitor had a bunch of old loose cards at home and asked if he should grade. Owner went into a long, accurate and detailed explanation of the various card grading companies without any annoyance. Good job in explaining card grading and the main grading companies. Side note: this shop can submit to PSA on your behalf for an additional fee per card. The owner talked about the aesthetics of the card grading headers if you're into displaying, the resale pros and cons of the grading companies, and the online set registry library of PSA. He knew his stuff. I checked out the card cases, lots of graded and ungraded cards, packs for sales, framed prints on the wall, signed jerseys, Dodger stuff, etc... a very cool shop and an owner that has a passion for sports collectibles. He asked if I was looking for something in particular and I told him I was a collector of graded Stephen Curry cards. He said he didn't have many of Steph's graded cards. Too bad. Overall, the dude is a good ambassador for the industry. Free drink coaster too.

Tons of baseball, football, even Star Wars cards! But I was here for WWE Cards. I was surprised to see the boxes were at retail or below retail! I cashed in on my cards and walked away with a mega box and a value box. I pulled an autographed Ludwig Kaiser card and I couldn't be happier. On top of the great value on cards, I was also given a lip balm, and coaster! My beers aren't leaving rings and my lips aren't going to be chapped anymore. Thank you hall of fame! Will be back next week for the hobby box!

It definitely is not as cramped and claustrophobic as the MPK Sanrio and has a good variety of character goods and items. They have the big popular ones that we all love and are familiar with: HK, Kuromi, Cinnamaroll, Pompompurin, My Melody, etc. But they also have the classics like Badtz Maru, Tuxedo Sam, Pekkle, Pochaco, etc. and other characters like Cogimyun, Kirimi-chan, Pickles the Frog, Gudetama, etc. They also had the jirai-kei/Gothic lolita looking MeloKuro goods here and I know those have been super popular lately. It seems that the back of the shop was once the cashier but that 1/4 of the shop was being set up/inventory of items going on there so unsure what it's gonna look like after. They do have a lot of the newer items that I've seen from the Sanrio newsletter such as the Matcha series and the HK 50th anniversary goods. Solid Sanrio store.

Brought my daughter here for birthday and almost had a heart attack when I saw the prices on all of the items. I was so happy I was able to convince her to settle for a keychain which was still $15. I'm all about supporting businesses but would def recommend going online for hello kitty products. Customer service wasn't bad. They didn't greet us but were amazing to my daughter when they found it was her birthday. Best part of the visit!
