Shop located in Oakland that specializes in collectibles and primarily Manga and Anime IPs and…read morecharacters. The place looks like it's located within a residential home so it threw me off at first. But there's a sign at the front. The folks here are very friendly and they're very knowledgeable. In terms of value, it's hard to say only because there are a lot of items that are highly collectible in addition to your run of the mill, newer IP's. In my opinion, I feel like the prices are pretty fair, especially since they may have some hard to find pieces that collectors are looking for. I came here with my nephew before we had dinner in the area. He's a big fan of anime and manga and especially things related to Godzilla. He ended up buying a figure. Just a really cool store in a very unexpected non-descript place.

It's fun, but could use some more energy, like maybe some music or signs, or maybe it's supposed to be more of an anime figurine room of a house. Honestly, I think I like it how it is.

Very easy to see they've won an Eisner- a highly prestigious Comic Book industry award. They understand marketing, promotions, the store is well organized, well stocked, well lit, roomy and friendly. The staff are happy to see you. They seem happy to be working there and they are extremely helpful. With a fellow like Eitan as their boss, it's not hard to understand why. If you haven't been in there yet to get an idea of enthusiasm that this shop generates and promotes: follow their Instagram page.

I've been a secondhand mama since before my daughter was born; my version of nesting was collecting gently used everything for her arrival. I've been selling my her clothes at Valentine's for the past couple years and find the process (text for a time, schedule a drop off, hear back by text about store credit/when you can come back and pick up) easy. The owner has a great eye. I never leave Valentine's empty handed. It's tiny and packed to the gills with amazingness, both new and used.

The staff have always been pleasant to speak with and knowledgable. If you're looking for a new comic and on a budget, there are rows of $1 comic boxes to look through. I've found some out of Marvel. And local creator ones too. If you're looking for a surprise gift for your four year old nephew, there are several sections of the store offering a variety of children's books. And if you're nostalgic for the nineties sometimes, you could find some music inspired graphics catching your eye. For any level of comic or graphic novel enthusiast, Dr Comics & Mr Games is a definite go to.

I don't know about their classes or anything, I'm just reviewing a leviwand I bought online from…read morethem. The wand I purchased was okay but not great, feels like it may not have a long lifespan. The balance on it is good. In short, you get what you pay for, and the product is priced about right. My older wand has a bit more heft but was three times the price of the Flowtoys one. I'd probably call this a starter wand for those who want to try leviwand out before making a larger purchase, although do be aware that cheaper equipment makes it a little more difficult to learn a new apparatus. In my experience as a wander, Flotoys' are a bit too light, but that's personal preference. The downside of ordering online from Flowtoys was that it took too long for them to process and then mail the wand. I got the automated response right away, but then it was several days before the next message came with the shipping tracking number, and then another several days before the item was delivered by Flowtoys to the post office. A little guidance on their website regarding the longer processing times would have been nice, because I didn't get the wand in time for the event I wanted it for. Naturally I assumed it would be sent within a day or two of ordering. Just be aware that it will be a good week before your order even gets into the delivery stream, and then the actual delivery transit time, of course, on top of that. It was just shy of two weeks before I got the wand, and almost a week of that was their delay in getting the order going and shipped.

Although it's not advertised on the outside, they carry a large selection of cards, including Pokémon. I visited mid-day during the most recent Pokémon card release, and they had everything in stock. I was able to purchase a Booster Box and got some amazing hits. What I love most is that their prices are very reasonable, unlike other stores in the area that tend to overcharge. She doesn't upcharge like TikTok and other vendors, making it a great place to shop. Plus, I always have a great time chatting with her when I visit.
