I almost never post 1 star reviews but I felt compelled to share one of the worst service experiences I ever had as a consumer and certainly the worst service at Hillsdale Mall. On 1/24 around 4-5p, we went to GS in Hillsdale mall to buy a transformers toy for my 4 year old. I noticed this promotion tag buy one toy and second toy is 50% off on the shelf above the transformers toys. It would turn out later that I initially missed the fine print noting this applied to pro members but when I asked the associate behind the counter, he told me this promotion applied to all toys in the store without a membership which is why I bought 2 instead of one transformer toy (Optimus Prime Studio Version + Legacy evolution Galvatron Armada) for both my kids. When I went to check out, a second associate (name: Ron) not only told me that there was no promotion for the second toy but that buying a pro membership would cost me more money not less due to the two toys not having promotion applied. I politely refused the membership and reminded him I would only be interested if there was a promotion but he insisted on telling me about benefits of pro membership I would not use without listening or giving me a chance to talk. When I finally insisted that I did not want the membership if it would not result in a promotion and asked why I was told the promotion applied to the toys we chose, his tone overtly aggressive and told me "hey buddy you're talking to the wrong guy here, I really don't care". Then when my credit card did not work with the scanner he asked me if I had another card, I said no and asked to use the scanner in the next register and he refused to even try it saying "all our scanners will not work with your card". I then used cash and he actually gave me the wrong change and REFUSED to give me a receipt citing "we are all out of receipt paper". When I asked what if I have to return the toy he said "all sales are final once you open the box". Finally one of Ron's associates took me to the next register and printed out several receipts (on receipt paper) for me and I left w my kids bewildered. To my fellow shoppers highly recommend avoiding this location and buying online or going to another store until Gamestop fixes the service and communication or retrain their associates at this location starting with Ron.

This Gamestop has the best layout of any that I've been to. I usually find that in other Gamestops displays are kind of haphazardly plopped around the store which makes for a confusing experience. This one was large and separated by offerings. The first part was segmented by major console and exhibited a lot of games. They smartly had a colorful shelving with lots of stuffed toys that you could see from outside of thestore which were sure to draw people inside out of sheer visual excitement. I beelined for the store when I saw that giant plush Kirby and I'm still thinking about it. The checkout is in the middle of the store which means the employees can kind of see everyone in the store. This is relevant because I was kind of shocked when an employee behind the counter asked if I needed help! I never get service at a Gamestop. The back walls are more of your "accessories" to gaming, so there's a wall with controllers and other devices and all the swag. The swag was really well displayed with t-shirt samples on the walls so you didn't have to rifle through them all.

Good luck returning anything policy...

They had a lot of popular series such as: Hunter x Hunter, Sakamoto Days, Dan Dan Dan, Haikyu, Blue Lock etc. I got two Sakamoto Days blind boxes and they were $11-$13 each which I expected. They have a lot of tsum tsums and small figures in the blind boxes. Also +1000 stars for having Ace Attorney displayed on their return policy! I suspect I will be dropping a lot of money over the months at this store. I really like cute blind boxes and they had a lot of them that I would have been happy with getting any of the choices on the box!

I'm here to give a shout out to Akiba HQ for bringing an interesting store to downtown San Mateo…read morethat isnt another boba tea shop or noodle restaurant. They've been open since the summer, but I don't I notice them getting much foot traffic, probably due to lack of visibility, parking, or publicity. Tucked along 3rd Ave & Railroad Ave, fans of Japanese anime, gundam, manga, die cast, models, and figurines will find their heavenly spot. This store is jam packed with lots of toys & collectibles & cute display figures, ranging from robots, to monsters to buxom Japanese girls reminiscent of the Akihabara prefecture in downtown Tokyo. They have pre-made figurines, build & paint yourself models, plushies, cards, charms, candies, and keychains. They also sell the necessary quality paints, brushes, and tools to build & perfect your own models. The layout of the store is nice, with one side holding most of the kits available, alongside with nice displays of accessories, toys, model building supplies, a counter, and candy & souvenirs. The other side of the store is like a Japanese anime/manga museum & display! It is one continuous LONG showcase that is well lit, clean, and organized, if some of the most amazing figurines thst you can build (and/or buy). Lots of eye candy here thst I cannot even describe in words, so I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. This store is fun, whether you are into collecting, building, or, just like me, browsing, learning, and gawking. Some reminded me of my childhood watching action cartoons & reading comic books. Others just wowed me with their attention to detail, design, and colors. It is indeed like a candy store here, but the candy is Japanese figurines. I plan to go back soon to buy some kits to see if I can recall & relive my childhood and build up some nice models. Downtown San Mateo is having some sort of retail resurgence for stores other than food or drink, and Akiba HQ, alongside with Nakoko, Clawsome, and Fanloli are leading the charge. With the departure of Talbots and B Street Books, it's nice to have another type of retail store here to browse, shop, and relive memories (or make new ones) in between dinner, movies, and bar hopping. Akiba HQ also has locations in Hayward & Davis, but we are lucky to get one here in San Mateo! Now, you don't have to go to Japantown or Tokyo to get your figurine fix, it's literally right here all in one, tiny, jam-packed store!

Everything is priced very fairly and competitive with mainstream retailers, online platforms, and even other retro game shops. They do it all here: retro and new video games, consoles, trading cards, plushies, accessories, and more. I feel truly lucky to have found this spot. It's officially my new go-to for anything gaming-related, whether I need something ASAP, want to get a game disc resurfaced, or just want to pop in and see what's new. Their backroom looks like it's bursting with even more treasures and I'm excited to see how they grow over time. I wish San Francisco had more places like this because the city is really lacking when it comes to true video game stores. We don't even have a Gamestop anymore in the heart of the city. The closest video game store is in Stonestown, which can be very inconvenient to get to. They also have some awesome free-to-play arcade setups and welcome people to just hang out inside, which gives the place a really laid-back, community vibe. If you're looking for a specific game or system and they don't have it, they'll even take your number and give you a call once they track it down. Such a thoughtful touch. I especially love their preowned deals like the buy two, get one free promo for games priced $11.99 or less. I can't wait to come back for my next haul.

Seemed to work fine to me, but my kid found a problem with the contrast and/or screen when he tried to play Christmas morning. We took it back to the location on Campbell Ave where I bought it.

He said it would be ready in a few weeks, after the new year, and took my contact into. Never heard back. Called the store after the first month came and went. No answer. Months go by and my kid keeps asking about it. I keep calling the location but then I read on their instagram that the shop is permanently closed. But they they're still doing business online. So I reach out to their instagram and email the address on their Shopify, where in fact they are now selling a metallic blue DS, just like the one I bought in December! Still no reply.

All products were above market price a little for the 8 pack tin market being 270 while them charging 300, meanwhile they were very flexible and always wanted to check prices I felt something was a little over which is suprising as they are not an official shop. As I went home I opened the pack of steam siege and I felt it was reasealed ( IT WAS NOT!! REALEASED) and I pulled one of the higher tier hits.
