Though our kids are much older now, we love to stop in for blind boxes, collectibles, and to scratch the incessant NeeDoh itch. Parking is almost always a challenge, given the area. Weekend visits require serious patience. The store can get shoulder-to-shoulder packed with large strollers in narrow aisles and tiny tots having very big feelings whose parents are doing what they can to regulate, some more than others, so there are def moments of chaos. As a momma who had 2 under 2 at one point, I've been there and hella get it. For my own sanity, we aim for off-peak visits to peruse in peace. As you can imagine, service is more attentive when the staff:customer ratio is more manageable. But the last couple visits, it's been fairly quiet in the store yet no greeting upon my entering, nor a welcoming vibe upon checking out at the register. So much so that I didn't bother to have them do the customary complimentary gift wrap for all the presents I picked out for my youngest. It was such a bummer to leave feeling icky for what is normally one of my happy places, especially as a long standing customer.

I initially wanted to come here and talk about how I got overcharged by $300 at their booth at…read moreBubufest. But then I went down a whole rabbit hole of why you shouldn't do business with these guys. They are very shady business men. The owner, Nelson, is a reseller who uses bots to get items (Pokemon TCG, Pop Mart, etc) and resell for a profit. He opens the boxes and claims all the best value figures and cards, then sells the common ones to unsuspecting shop customers. Then when he has too many common figures and cards, he offloads them in the form of "conventions". It's the best scam: charge people an entrance fee and still overcharge people for common boxes that are worth much less online. This is why his cons are every 3 months. This is the best way to offload common figures while still making money off of ticket sales and up charges. You will not find any secrets or valuable cards at Fugitive Toys. The boxes and packs have all been resealed with the rare stuff already taken. If you want to resell your funkos, they will offer $1 or two, then turn around and resell for 6x the profit. Nelson is notorious for kicking out people from his conventions. Multiple people have come forward with talking about racial profiling and Nelson using poor excuses to kick people out of his conventions. See one story below. People have also complained that vending there is not worth doing there. Sales are slow and the vending prices to secure a spot are $300 to $700. That's a lot higher than more established conventions. Hype Con and Fugitive Toys are both also very disorganized when it comes to their schedule as well. At cons, their doors never open on time. At fugitive toys, they will close on random days without warning or note. Don't support any Hype Con hosted events, and definitely don't do business with Fugitive Toys. They're scam artists, and they need to be investigated.

Everything cool, right? Well, it turns out, no. I came in today since I was in the area to double check if I was on the list and was not. They completely forgot to add me in and the list was so long, it was highly unlikely I would get the decks I pre-ordered. They told me it would be best to go to another shop to order and was not at all apologetic about the mishap. In fact, there were no apologies made. I really wanted to support a local card shop but the lack of accountability and the poor customer service makes it very difficult to do so. I won't be back.

My friends and I were celebrating a birthday and decided to sit outside this shop after eating…read moreelsewhere since there were tables. There was a kids table and a dinosaur toy outside of the shop. We had grabbed it for a few minutes and sat in the kids table not thinking anything of it since we would put it back. Then a few moments later while we are trying to enjoy our cake, two women are walking towards us and one lady says to us , "Do you know how stupid y'all look on our cameras?" At first we didn't know if she was talking to us, but as she got closer she repeated that phrasing and accused us of creating a mess. ( a mess we did not make and was already there). We explained calmly that the trash was already there, and suggested she check her cameras, but instead of addressing that, she again said we looked stupid and looked like "fools" and kept on cussing. At this point it was only the girls around this area, once our guy friend heard the altercation they approach us and calmly said to her that we get where she's coming from but she could have approach us more respectfully, she suddenly said she was "just joking" and that we were taking it to serious and she then started to get aggressive getting closer to us. To us, it didn't feel like a joke, it felt disrespectful when a grown lady is talking aggressively to teenagers calling them "stupid". She later said the toy was free to take, which made the situation even more confusing because why start all this when the toy is "free". All this was caught on video btw. Seeing that this is not the first time something like this happens outside the shop is disappointing.
