The Christmas Tree 2020...
Arnel S.

My kids and I were in Los Angeles for the weekend, so they decided to go around town to look for more additions to their Funko Pop collection. First on their list was this Hot Topic location inside the Westfield Valencia Town Center. There was a long line when we arrived since the store was only allowing 8 people inside due to this Covid-19 pandemic. At least, the store worried about it's customers' safety and well-being. Everyone was asked to put on a mask when entering the store, even the employees had them on. And after every customer checked out their purchases, the staff checkout staff disinfected the area before taking in the next customer. My kids found a few Funko Pop items they needed. I don't understand the craze for these, but since I am an avid model kit collector as well, I cannot complain about my kids' hobbies. There are other items inside the store worth a look at, like shirts and other collectible items. But today, it was Funko Pops... Highly recommend you visit this store for your clothing and collectible needs!

I have something to confess. If you don't know already, I'm sort of a POP addict, as in Funko Pops. Those cute, adorable pop vinyl figures suck you in once you've purchased just one, and that's all it takes: ONE. That one is thee gateway to your POP addiction. You think, "oh, it's just SO cute, I am only going to get this one..." then folks, that's where your wallet and willpower succumbs, because truth is, you just can't have one!! And that's where Hot Topic comes into play, they're a major supplier. Over the last few years, the 'great wall of POPs' has grown slowly but surely so whenever you pop into a HT, you won't be able to miss the stacks on stacks of Pops. I've become a frequent customer of this HT as it's local to where I live. Staff member Rick is awesome and will reserve some pops for me if I can't make it in right away, making the life of a collector SO much less stressful! Service overall is pretty good, always greeting customers as they stroll in and asking if there is help locating any specific item. There are times however when the customer to staff ratio puts a strain on customer service, but that's to be expected with any venue that is packed with customers. This HT location is located inside Westfield Valencia mall, second floor just a few doors over from Macy's. It's one of the bigger-medium sized locations but still, there are lots of items to look at making you tread the floor with caution. Fun items ranging from whatever is usually trending, Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Pusheen (that darn cute cat, I've been suckered into buying those plush dolls!), rock band t-shirts, Funko Pop shirts, POPs, Hikari, lunchpails, slippers, robes, cosplay clothing, shoelaces, key chains.. and list goes on and on. To top it off, they frequently have promotions going on throughout the year, which validates those seemingly unnecessary purchases. **Keep note of your 'Hot Cash' also, I hate when they expire! Also, you can bypass shipping fees if you order items online and ship to the store. Thanks Rick and team to making this store great!

This store is my second home! Being an emo/scene/hipster/fangirl is hard... You need all the merchandise from your fandom(s) so this store is the place to go!!! The people there are in every fandom and always say how awesome a band is or how cool the thing your buying is. One guy complimented me on my whole outfit and he wasn't even checking out my stuff. This store is great! That's all you need to know!!!! Have fun being in Emo heaven!!!!

I love this store for so many reasons. 1. Amazing pop wall 2. Lots of cute Harley Quinn stuff 3. Purses and wallets that I can't find anywhere else 4. Make up that is fun and creative 5. Polite and helpful staff This store opened a really long time ago and in this "conservative" town it was a bit taboo. I was told not to shop here. I was told it's for "other" people. Yes, let's be totally honest I have bought shirts and a lot of make up and a lot of accessories from this store. There are beautiful dresses but they are meant for someone who is 100% confident in themselves and knows exactly what they are offering the world. I think that's why I like this store so much. This store isn't cookie cutter. This store doesn't sell what I can buy at 5 other stores in every color. This store sells things that allow you to be you. You can express yourself and be whoever you want to be. I know that's a lot for a store to express but think about it for just a minute. Every store is selling you an image. Every store is trying to tell you who to be and what to wear so that others can judge you. Hot Topic just is. They don't care if you judge them. They don't care if you don't like them. They are the perfect "friend" store. If you want to find unique things and collectibles then this is the perfect store for you! Happy shopping. They usually have deals on the pops. That's how they keep getting me back. But lately they have had buy one get one 40% off which is how I scored by awesome new purse and wallet. check in often they always have new promotions going on. They also get a lot of exclusives.

Cool shirts

She was super friendly, very professional and went out of her way to listen patiently as my daughter explained the specific style she likes! Chianne quickly rounded up approximately 5 dresses and brought them over to us! They were great! Quality customer service like that on top of the awesome variety of dresses, shoes and accessories is what keeps the customers returning and loyal. Appreciate Chianne's hard work and commitment to providing Windsor Customer base with quality customer and with a beautiful smile! Please take time to recognize great employees! Thank you Chianne!

It might have just been the style of the dress, but as I was looking at the ones in the store some XS looked true to size and others just looked huge. I did shop around a little to see if I could find something in replace of what I ordered but the two dresses I did like didn't come in my size so I opted to just get my money back. If you order something online you can return it in store for free and it's super easy, just have the QR code ready via your email, they'll scan it and your return will be on its way. Also if you're looking for a special occasion dress this would be the spot for you, it's affordable and they have different varieties of dresses in all different styles. They also have shoes and accessories, as well as some basic everyday clothing.

Thought to myself, I'll be back. Second time came with my daughter, she picked out a cute night set. I grabbed some eye lashes. This is a pretty tradition Korean clothing spot. Like fashion Q, forever 21, Boomy, LUV, etc... Recommend for simple cute fun outfits. Date night, kids first day of school. They have variety of options, anyone who complains cheap clothing. This is the same shit as any other place. If you're looking for high end quality goto Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom or a luxury brand. Third time I had came in today. Just for some lashes. I was greeted right away, looked around. The employee today helped me out so much. Had asked her on her opinion, on multiple things. Felt like she was being honest, which is a plus for me. I was more bothering her, they have no problem giving you your space here so you can roam freely. Walked out with " eye lashes of course, few shirts and some jeans. Customer service was great so I'm okay drive out this way for just " eye lashes" again. Next time I'll get her name, if you see this thank you again for all of your help! You're amazing and Surprise is lucky to have someone like you.
