Great selection of figures, singles and card products. Owner is friendly, passionate about TCG and attentive Unfortunately many TCG products are overpriced. 1 english prismatic evolutions pack on TCGplayer is $~15 today 6/27/26. They're selling for $25 a pack. Bulk singles no matter the market price are $1, and full arts start at $5. Almost paid $5 for a $2 card, and ended up paying $5 for about $0.90 worth of cards. I would definitely recommend doing due diligence before buying anything here. read more

Cool store to browse and has a lot of unique items you do not normally see elsewhere. The layout is clean, products are well displayed, and it is easy to spend time looking around. That said, the prices felt pretty steep for many of the items being sold. While there were some interesting finds, it was hard to justify the cost on a lot of them. Worth stopping in if you are already in the area and enjoy browsing specialty shops, but I found myself admiring more than buying. Overall, a fun visit, just a bit overpriced for what it offers. read more

"Should I open it or keep it sealed?" Pokemon is such a hot commodity with prices rising with high demand and short supply. This shop has it all. The owner and his father have a large supply of collectibles such as hard to find figurines from funko pops, marvel, Jurassic and anime. There's a whole wall of pokemon packs to purchase and also binders where you can also buy single cards. There are other popular collectible card collections as well. They will buy Pokemon cards and also open to cut deals if you make bulk purchases. This is a fun place to look around and yes...you end up spending a lot unexpectedly on Knick knacks you didn't know you needed to have. Best bring cash or have a Zelle account before making the trip to the store. read more

My partner and I have been shopping here for at least the last couple years. We appreciate its convenient location, its variety of sealed product, and Victor's candidness when it comes to price and availability. They have great customer service - everyone is very friendly - and his dog is very cute! I recommend calling ahead if you're looking for something specific and have a $ max in mind, but in our experience everything was typically priced below or at TCGPlayer median (including preorders). Da Shop is definitely worth checking out, particularly if you're looking for something sealed (and legit) asap and live in the city. read more

Pretty full shop! We stumbled upon it and we ended up buying some star wars cards. They had deals on Pokémon cards, too! read more

Dashop - Hobby Shops Near Me - New York, New York

Came here on a whim to check out some anime figurines but this place primarily runs as a trading card shop. The staff here are extremely friendly and greeted us as we were looking at some of the model kits they have in the back. The prices are very affordable and it seems like they are always running sales. Overall a fun store to browse. read more

90$ for a destined rivals booster bundle That should say it all. Overpriced and barely helped me for 1 second and then walked away. OVERPRICED by 40$ or more per item read more

I've been looking for a store in Chinatown that stocked Pokemon cards, Funkos, Model cars, Anime figurines, blind boxes and Gundams. After looking around and reading reviews, I'm so lucky I gave this store a chance. I found exactly what I was looking for and more at a price I wanted to pay. I don't know how they fit such a diverse and sheer amount of collectibles in here; I found myself looking at things I didn't even know I wanted. The owner is incredibly friendly and genuinely passionate, always ready to chat, offer advice, or just share in your excitement. Would I have saved a few dollars if I spent hours shopping around and going online? Probably. But let's be real, that's the reality of brick-and-mortar retail in NYC. You're paying for the convenience, the personal service, camaraderie and the security of knowing exactly what you're getting. Plus, you're supporting a local, mom-and-pop business in New York City. If we don't support places like this, the only places left would be big box stores and online retailers. read more

I've been coming to Dashop Corp for a while now, and it's honestly one of the best toy stores in the area. They have an amazing selection--from authentic Pokémon booster packs to high-quality Gundam model kits and so much more. The store is well-organized, the products are legit, and the prices are fair. The owner is one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable people I've met in the hobby scene. Always willing to help and make great recommendations. I've personally seen customers pay by card, so not sure where the false info is coming from. If you're into collectibles, cards, or models, this is a great spot to check out. Support local businesses that actually care about their customers! read more

They got crazy inventory for all sorts of collectibles, I came in here looking for MTG and Yugioh trading cards. The owners were super friendly, knowledagble and personable. Theyre very transparent with the sales and prices. Highly recommend this place for anyone who is bored and looking to kill some time but also for serious hobbyists and collectors! read more

Huge shoutout to this card shop - thanks for helping my son today! We visited Dashop on Chinese New Year - my son was excited to spend his hongbao money at this hobby shop and the store owner, Victor, was patient and super kind. The customer service is terrific and we will definitely be back here again. Really excellent selection cards, toys, and models. It's worth noting that this shop takes cash and Zelle only. read more

Owner was super nice and the selection of magic cards is some of the best in the city. Definitely going back.

Great shop and merchandise. Amazing people and they the real deal. I had a little misunderstanding but they still treated me respectfully and cleared everything up quickly with great customer service would definitely come back! read more

AMAZING store!!! The shop owners were so nice. They have almost everything anime, TCGS and also some car models. I would definitely recommend it and it has very good prices. read more

I stop in from time to time whenever I'm in Chinatown for asian food or family events. My daughter (8) always gets a few pokémon packs and the owner is nice enough to explain all of the types of packs with her since there are so many to choose from. My son (5) loves cars and there are all sorts of toy cars to choose from (hot wheels, japanese model kits, etc.). Needless to say, each time we are in Chinatown, my kids ask to go to "the toyshop" and they have a great time exploring during each visit. The store is not super large, but they somehow have everything you could need if you are shopping for young kids (and older kids too if they are collectors). Service is friendly, prices are fair, and it's definitely worth a visit to check out the curation of cool toys they stock. read more

They have an unorganized collection of singles, and a poor selection of graded slabs from 3rd parties that are not the commonly recognized PSA, CGC, or Beckett. The prices the owner listed are higher than the market, and there is some negotiation but he will pressure sales tactics for you to buy. Even then, you will be far above market comp because the owner cherry picks the top comps. Sealed products are overpriced as well, will always be easier to buy yourself online. This shop is probably ok for beginning collectors or parents who just want something on hand, but there are better value stores and nicer places to shop. I was also pressured to buy with cash. What a rough experience read more

Clean TCG, Gundam model, and anime figure shop. They have the latest YuGiOh, Pokemon, Magic, One Piece, Digimon, Dragon Ball Super, as well as some other card games. The shop owner Victor is knowledgeable and friendly. He's been in the business for 15 years. All the prices are very fair, either market price or you can score a great deal! The more products you're looking to buy, the more he's eager to hook you up. If you're buying one or two products, please don't haggle. His prices are already fair and margins in this business are low. He needs to run a profitable business. Help keep great card shops like this stay in business! His elderly dad occasionally helps out at the shop too. I've visited probably 7 or so card shops in NYC and this is easily the best one to buy product. Other shops in NYC have way fewer products and prices usually aren't as good. Some other shops like in West Village charge 20%+ above market! No tables, so no tournaments here. There are two other TCG shops in Chinatown probably within 10-15 minutes of walking distance from here and they have plenty of tables and seating. Those shops are worth checking out too, but their inventories are way more limited. Plus, Victor is willing to ship if you have no more space in your suitcase! read more

Way too overpriced, good selection of Japanese and Chinese packs but very overpriced. Service is very friendly though.

You must come here! Huge selection of toys and trading cards. There is really something for all ages. I got Pokemon cards and my two year old son got hot wheels and there's everything in between. Victor the owner is so nice and knowledgable he answered all my questions about the newest gen of Pokemon and he gave my son a free toy for his birthday and that really is something most stores would not do these daysValue that more than any price in a shelf. Highly recommend and is in a cool part of town if you never have been worth a visit for the collector for sure. read more

Dashop - Cards I purchased - Hobby Shops Near Me - New York, New York

Super cool owner and great prices. We went for MTG and they had a great selection of booster packs and commsnders. I was able to get 2 commander decks at MSRP which is unheard of in most stores read more

Double the market price.... so expensive. Cards were also damaged, mostly in the corners. Way better spots in NYC than this one. Been collecting over 20 years, by far the worst shop. One and done for me read more

I can't help but stop by this store every time I visit Chinatown. Dim sum, bubble tea and DaShop are a must. The owner really knows how to treat his customers. Friendly and family owned this is the only place I go to when I need my fix of TCG cards. read more

Went for Pokémon cards. Dude is super friendly and patient and explains whatever needs to get explained or answers any questions you might have. Cool store, great selection of all type of stuff. This is why shopping at a local small business is a joy! read more

Victor is a super cool dude! Great deals and great service, and even blessed my little siblings with free stuff! Highly recommend this place, super friendly and wants to work with the customer with his Baskin Robbin's Special (Come in and find out what that is). Would definitely come back every time I visit NY. read more

Shopped here for over 10+ years!!! If you are looking for pokemon, yugioh, one piece and other trading card games this is one of the places to check out in the Chinatown area! The prices are fair compared to the market and pays his suppliers above msrp to keep his shelves full even during the pokemon craze. The owner is nice guy and is pretty much there every single day. Local staple and will be a customer forever. read more

Da shop has a huge selection of toys and tcg. Owner is friendly and helpful. Would definitely shop there again.

Please do yourself a favor, stay as far away as possible from this store and it's shady owner. I have bought multiple Pokémon booster packs the quality of the cards is abysmal. On top of that he does not take cards as a form of payment. Word to the wise, this owner is as greedy as they come. read more

I travel a lot for work, and every time I'm in NYC, I make sure to stop here. If you're into trading cards or collectibles, this place is a must. The owner Victor is fair, honest, and always willing to negotiate on prices. All around just a genuine guy. Great products, great people--can't ask for more. read more

I only really came here to check if they had Magic: The Gathering cards and was surprised; not only did they have a great selection with some hard-to-come-by decks, but they had an individual card binder. Throughout my entire time there, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. As for pricing, the owner kept giving unique deals on certain combinations of products if bought in bulk, even though their store prices were already cheaper than other notable businesses (Amazon). I highly recommend this spot! read more

Guy knew his stuff and was very helpful! Store was very nice and well put together. The options were amazing whether your looking for cards like sports or anime cards and they also had many figures like funko pops and even more! read more

I supported my local shop but I don't feel great about it. As with other hobbies (snowboarding in my case), I'm encouraged to support my local stores over online shopping since they give a chance to see and handle goods in person before purchasing, so I do my best to throw them some business. The younger man running the shop is polite, knowledgeable, and friendly. As soon as I walked in he let me know they were offering 10% of model kits. This is their default pricing. That still left them another 15-20% overpriced than lower priced options available. The owner knew I was comparing prices and he told me he can't compete with the "big guys", pointing to overhead and import fees, etc. I understand that but if I was worried about every last dollar, I can get the same items shipped to my door for less. Even Midtown Comics beat them on pricing the new Gundam SD sangoku soketsuden, which are also available at Barnes & Noble (also cheaper). What you pay for here is instant gratification (no shipping times), peace of mind (you can inspect the kits), and the small chance of finding something out of stock elsewhere. I was going to give them 4 stars for friendliness but I realized their pricing is to take advantage of casual buyers as Gunpla enthusiasts will know their pricing is off, and will haggle or at least understand they are paying a markup. A builder buying their first kit here on a whim that subsequently starts looking at other kits elsewhere will be in for a rude surprise. read more

This is one of the most legit and long lasting NYC shop with LOTS to offer those of us who collect such things as cards, figures and other collectibles alike! Have been visiting this place for over a decade and won't ever stop! read more

Victor was super helpful and went above and beyond with customer service! I called ahead, and was given info about their merchandise, hours, told about other stuff I might be interested in. They really try to make you happy! Come for toys, gifts, cards from the favorite shows and games of your youth read more

Dashop - Hobby Shops Near Me - New York, New York

Awesome shop. Tons of yugiho, Pokémon and such. Anime and figurines from floor to ceiling.

I went here to purchase pokemon cards for my nephew. I received great customer service! I didn't know anything about pokemon, but the salesperson explained it well. He was very friendly and informative. And I'm happy with my purchase. read more

I came here on my birthday to buy Yu-Gi-Oh! cards with a budget of $100. I ended up with a pretty decent amount of cards. if I could give this place more stars, I would. I recommend coming here for anything relating to trading cards and plastic model kits. I will definitely be coming back. read more

This is a one of a kind family run toy store where you always leave in a better mood than when you arrived. A store like this is much bigger than the sum of the parts (model kits, Transformers, trading cards, etc). First off, Victor's hustle and kindness in a brick mortar store owner just doesn't exist anywhere else. Second, you or your kids can browse the store and there's no pressure to buy anything which is important for parents for obvious reasons. Last year, I was running late on getting some shopping done and I messaged him Christmas Eve(?) to check he'd be there and possibly be open a little late. He responded right away and came through. During the pandemic when New York City was shut down, he came through with a Transformer my kids badly wanted. If you value that kind of customer service, then go to DaShop. read more

I'm checking out a bunch of different TCG shops all over NYC I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing this hidden gem truly is. Let me start off with the selection, it's great, especially if you're a collector like I am, the card prices and tins are pretty fair and The owner even cut me a good deal. They have quite the backlog of packs as well so I was able to build different decks I'm working on with cards that aren't readily available in current collections. Victor is great, he's friendly, personable and very knowledgeable. You can tell aside from being a owner he's also a true fan of the products and helps give you the details on the newest releases and anything you may be looking for. I didn't get a chance to see but they also have quite the selection of singles which is fun to look through you May find something you'd like. Safe to say this will be my home base going forward :) read more

Very helpful staff! I went in looking for Pokemon cards, and the guy was very patient while I took a call to see which packs to buy. He gave me some good deals, and was very helpful overall. Found this place through Yelp, and it did not disappoint at all. The rest of the store is really cool too - a lot of collectable items. Will be back for more things for sure! read more

This place is really nice. It's very spacious and the staff are very nice. They specialize in TCGs and have a decent stock of figures. Their prices aren't high as much as they know exactly what they have. If you're a card collector of any kind, you'll walk out of here with a pack of something for sure. read more
