Scored some amazing finds: George Perez Crisis, the last Superman story by Alan Moore, Art Adams Longshot, George Perez giant sized wedding issue (Want your wedding to look amazing? Have George Perez draw your wedding. I assure you, your wedding will look amazing) Keith Griffin Ambush Bug, Question #1, Indiana Jones punching N@zis, ROM. They even gave me a free sticker (I collect Bay Area stickers from the underground / geek culture so Thank You) I will absolutely be back the next time I hear about another $1 sale. Good times.

The adult books include fiction, biography, cookbooks, sci-fi and fantasy, and more. I found several books that looked interesting and settled on a new one by Lily King called Heart the Lover. I don't know anything about it, but enjoyed her last book. I also bought myself a cute canvas shopping bag with cats and a book club theme. I keep thinking about a couple of the books I left behind.

I've went here multiple times and each time one or more of the employees have been rude towards me and have made snarky remarks. If your life sucks figure it out instead of taking it out on customers. I've said this before and I'll say it again, don't work customer service if you cannot be nice towards others! Other than that, the store has a good selection of merchandise. Such a shame the experience is ruined by rude people.

Short review since we only come here for the gashapon machines…read more I really like coming here. Get some anime gashapon, but it's hard to get some of the ones you like since they're out of stock. I really wish they would stock up more on the popular items. Things are getting a little pricey. $15 for five tokens, and most gashapon are two or three tokens. A lot of the gashapon are anime, sanrio, animals, even food. The last time we were there, they even had little Nikes! The only downside is that it gets pretty warm in there. Especially when the place is packed, it gets really hot. Hopefully they'll think about adding air conditioning or at least fans soon.

That location does not allow us to push their carts outside their door. I was so happy to get a cashier who took time to give me extra savings.

I found a small cute Halloween pumpkin with a black kitten on the top of it, to place on my fireplace mantle. It's small enough to fit in the palm of my hand. It's was $2.25, which wasn't too bad of a deal.
