The pricing here however is usually 10 dollars more but it makes it worth it due to the huge selection of cars here and your supporting a local business .

The service here is amazing since I didn't feel dumb or guilty about asking a question here compared to hobby lobby.

They tend to about 80% of the time have in inventory what I'm looking for. This is very good in comparison to their competition.

I have spent hundreds of dollars on product here, on sealled MTG product, deck accessories and DnD books when they first opened. I have gone to multiple pre-releases since then and I do enjoy going to commander here. But with their rising cost for pre-releases and the insane low balling they have given me when asking for trade ins I have been going to other stores more now especially since their move into Northridge. This is a great place to play, especially when your bringing your own deck but any limited format is a higher price than average. We shouldn't let these stores normalize these prices. I can only speak on MTG pricing and trades I have no idea if this is the same for Pokemon and Lorcana etc. I do build Gunpla and their Gunpla pricing is pretty fair but I feel like the Gunpla is really just an afterthought at this store and the sets they have on display are not anything to write home about. I don't remember seeing them selling a bunch of tools to help builders step up their building either. I would much rather buy from a Hobby Shop that's actually dedicated to the craft.

But we've been following their social media accounts for some time now, so we finally made the 2 hour drive out here last month. The drive back seemed even longer after the awful customer service we had. I was honestly in disbelief. We just left empty handed. The fact that I'm still thinking about this experience a month later and had to come on yelp to write a 1-star review makes me realize we should've never jumped in our car to visit this shop. I genuinely hope no one else has to experience that.

I've always passed by this store inside the Northridge mall and thought they just had collectibles,…read morebut I learned recently that they have a pretty good comic book selection. They have weekly releases on one side of the wall and back issues in boxes that are labeled and very organized. Like most places, they offer pre-orders for releases the following week with a 10% discount but I feel like their process is more convenient and personable as you can just message them through IG to put holds. Plus, they offer free bags & boards! The staff is also super helpful making the whole pre-order/hold process a breeze. My favorite part is going through their online backstock. I love how they keep their site updated so it saves me a lot of time having to sift through boxes. They carry the staples but I appreciate how they also have less popular titles. Even if you're not a fan of comic books, I'd still recommend dropping in to check out their other stuff.

I remember going to this place when it just opened up and they were mainly selling Lego figures and…read morethen other types of collectible figures and then also stickers. Of which I bought several. The staff was always friendly and attentive. Over the years, they've expanded their inventory and now have comics and Funko pops, which definitely appeal to the masses more. It is a fun shop to peruse and you'll always find something fun worth buying. Definitely a nice unique spot in the Northridge mall and I hope more people check it out and keep this mall from becoming the promenade mall or the other defunct malls over the years. Support small business!

Went in for Pokemon singles. They have a system where you search cards on a tablet that has pricing…read moreand condition. They were adamant that you use the system to even take a look at cards. There were a couple employees available and I asked to see a couple cards but they insisted I type it into the system, select all the cards I'm interested in, then select check out, and THEN an employee would gather the cards for me to view. The first couple of cards I tried to type in were not found in the system but were in the display case. The employee suggested I type the card number (e.g. 2/108) and that did not work either. Finally I found a card I liked in the system but when I looked up that particular card, it appeared to have 2 versions, both near mint but different prices. When asked about the difference in prices, the person behind the counter took 10 minutes to research the cards and change the prices to even higher than originally listed - stating there was only 1 version of the card and they were mislabeled in the system. At this point, he finally showed me the cards and they were objectively not near mint. I wanted to get a closer look to see how played they were but they would not let me see the card outside the sleeve even when I requested that they take it out themselves if they were scared I would damage the card. He then again took the time to inspect the cards himself and correct the listed condition of the cards in their system while he had me wait. I asked if they would honor the original listed price from when I walked in but they said no. With that, and my not being able to make my own, closer inspection on the condition, I ended up not buying anything since I had no baseline to go off to see if it was worth buying for myself. Even without making a purchase, it was an awkward, uncomfortable shopping experience. The sealed product was comparatively much higher than the current market prices. There is a decent selection of singles but their tablet system was misleading and inconsistent. The selections were not good enough to entice me to come back. Be careful in your own price checking when coming to this place.

Love it here!

We'll usually go in and window shop and she has a blast looking at all the cool stuff. Today was like another of those experiences but with an extra very refreshing cherry on top.

We love coming here for the amazing products and nostalgic items as well as the amazing selection and atmosphere. Everything is very fairly priced and valued really well. I always enjoy coming here for my daughter and for my own interest. I hope this store stays here at the Sherman Oaks Fashion Square mall for years to come and it's highly recommended for all. Thanks Sarah and Mind Games!

We absolutely love this store…read more Anytime we're at the mall we always make sure that we stop in. We're a big board game and puzzle family and this is the best store for both of those things in the San Fernando Valley that I'm aware of. It is located inside the mall so be aware of that. They have a good selection of games, they have a really excellent selection of puzzles. I'm sure this is driven by what sells for them but they have way too many Funko pop figures for me. That's not my thing, and it takes up a lot of space in the store. But I'm sure they sell a lot of them. They also have some great toys, although not a great selection of them. Everyone here who works here is friendly and helpful. We've never had any issues there. I will say their recommendations are not always great. The main thing that does bring this store down a little bit is just how expensive some of the things can be. It's pretty often that you can find the same item for less money on Amazon. I know that makes me sound heartless, and I love supporting shops like this, but sometimes the price difference is very considerable. But overall it's a great store, definitely check it out.
