I used to come here every few months just to get that smell for my car. But it's been a little while so decided to stop in and get one and I found a really cute pair of socks for baby girl. They have a lot of really cute stuff here, Selena was really nice, she was helpful with a smile. I looked around a lot to try to find things for presents, but this was one store I had to stop at so I can get my air freshener that smells incredible. My car smells like a peach now my favorite smell. Something about it just makes you smell like you're sitting in candy store in your car, which is awesome. Been coming here for years. This is a great store. I highly recommend it. Have a beautiful day, be kind to everybody :) Aloha

The ArToy is an absolute gem…read more The owner is the sweetest person - super helpful and so happy to be there. There are so many blind boxes, gashapon, and figurines! They also have a few small claw machines. Overall a great variety of items to choose from. Prices are very fair for both tokens and merchandise; they're definitely comparable to or slightly cheaper than bigger stores. They also have a trade section for blind buys and a fun game to try for more prizes if you turn in your empty capsules! Plenty of parking in their shared public lot. Very chill ambiance - not too overstimulating but definitely a fun vibe to shop around in. I adore how the owner has decked out the store. My family and I had the best time here. 1000/10 recommend!

We were especially thankful to attend the recent NeeDoh drop! Unfortunately, there was an uncomfortable situation outside in the parking lot involving an older woman approaching customers to purchase their newly purchased NeeDohs and taking pictures of people waiting in line without permission. This was not related to the shop itself, but I wanted to mention it so others attending future squishy drops can be aware. Overall, we highly recommend Wonder Emporium and always enjoy supporting this wonderful local shop!

What a fun place to check out! My Godkids are visiting from out of state, and my godson wanted a…read morecrazy-hard Rubik's Cube--and we found it! Thank you guys so much! I'm sorry that some of you had a bad experience, but ours was great, especially considering we arrived only 20 minutes before closing, when most business owners are ready to head home. Oh, and let me add that I'm Mexican and gay, so as far as being racist or discriminating goes... FAR FROM IT!! I did correct my Goddaughter for grabbing something from the display window--not okay! Plus, she's 12 and should know better, period. The owners were very kind in gently explaining why it wasn't okay, and I appreciated that because their house, their rules! Kids need to understand that when you walk into someone's place of business--or even their home--you should be respectful and ask for permission or assistance before touching things. Again, thank you both for all the great recommendations and for being so kind about my pup, who was on a leash and wearing a diaper to ensure there were zero accident possibilities. Our pup loved you guys! She's usually a little shy at first, but she walked right up to both of you. Dogs know. We'll definitely be back to check out some of the games you have when we have more time to browse. Like I said, we came right before closing, and even though it's a business, everyone wants to go home after work, and we respected that. No attitude, no pressure--just two kind business owners doing what they love.

This shop is large, well appropriated, and organized. The collection of back issues spans many eras…read moreof comics, and i was able to find many items to cross off of my want list here. I also purchased a Green Lantern power battery replica for a very fair price, below the current market value by a fair amount. Even my back issues were heavily discounted and I ended up paying somewhere around $0.50 a book! I left with a huge stack! The employees were all friendly, and knowledgeable, and in something I like seeing in shops like this, seemed to lean on each other to compensate for questions they didn't have answers to. I could spend hours here digging through the bins before ever even shopping the toys.

Usually I don't leave reviews but I wanted to for this place. So I've been going for a while and…read morejust a few months ago finally signed up for a pull list. I collect mostly Transformers figures/comics and it's kinda hard for me to find a shop that gives me a little bit of everything about my favorite franchise. But a while back they had a HUGE selection of IDW Transformers back issues. I went crazy and got a bunch of them whenever I stopped by to pick up the current Skybound run. All the staff is super nice and genuinely super kind! I've had no bad experiences here and they're all super knowledgeable about the things I'm interested in buying. They also provide really good suggestions for me which is great. Overall a great comic book store and nice figure options!

My friends and I have enjoyed coming to The Realm for years. Their main focus is on Pokemon, Magic…read morethe Gathering, Warhammer 40K, D&D, and Lorcana. They have a wide selection of other board games and accessories too. They also have a library of Magic the Gathering and Pokemon singles. Their price points are comparable to what you might find on ebay, so minus the shipping and the wait of buying online, this place is superior. I don't want to get anyone who works at the store in trouble for doing their job, but the more approachable guys are the taller ones or whoever is working at register 3. The shorter dudes come with shorter attitudes. Lastly, they do a TON of game nights, do a lot of promotions, and have a lot of space!

I mean if you haven't visited frank and son... are you really a true nerd? I don't think so. I've…read morebeen to Frank and son since they were located at the previous location when I was kid. That place felt massive. This location does feel a little smaller, but it's still massive. Plenty of vendors and variety, some shady vendors that will overcharge too much or just be plain rude, but overall it's a great experience as you will find very niche and interesting/weird stuff. You will also find vendors selling things for great prices. Make sure to bring cash and most vendors will give you a discount. The only downside is even with the ridiculously large parking area, it STILL fills up every single day. It's literally always busy, so prepare to walk a lot. Always fun to visit every once in a while.

This place is so popular that it is very hard to find parking. I used to come here as a kid with…read moremy brother and we would peruse the aisles looking for treasures. comic books, transformers, Nintendo games, etc. you never know what you can find in a box or a shelf for a dollar. One time, I was looking at buying some TCG cards, when a guy bought a whole booster box, opened them all, picked out the couple cards he wanted and asked the vender if they wanted to buy the rest back. Vender refused, so I offered $20 for everything. It was amazing. Now, it's gotten way too commercial for my liking. Everything cost way more than they should, and You can't find a deal anywhere. Last week, I came in looking for a couple MTG to fill out my cEDH deck. Seller says they price things competitive off TCGPlayer website, and then quoted me $6over the tcg price for a $20 card. He says they have to charge more since the booth costs them money. So... I could just buy online, save the upcharge, and you will have to pay for shipping? Thanks but no thanks.

We've been to two other Bricks and Minifigs, but I would have to say that this one is our favorite…read moreso far. For one, I felt the staff here was the nicest and most helpful, and unlike the other two, this one actually had 3 staff members helping people, while the other locations usually only have 1-2 staff members around, which makes it really difficult to ask questions since these places can get really busy. Also, like the other locations, we went to try and sell our used Legos. What I liked about this location is that you have make an appointment if you're selling a fair number of Legos, so you're not waiting around since it's not uncommon for others to come in and also trying to sell their used Legos. When we got there, we were greeted and were even taken a little earlier than our appointment. Also, we went to another Bricks and Minifigs and got substantially more than what was offered at the other location. This will definitely be our "go-to" Bricks and Minfigs from here on!

Selections is good on items but the service here truly is terrible. Very picky staff when it comes to items to sell. And service is mediocre. Tried to give them 2nd and 3rd chances but will deff NOT be coming back EVER! Better off selling items on your own through other apps. Picky and bad attitudes from almost all the staff. There sites says they take bulk but they're very picky on that as well. Don't waste your time here as they offer super low for big bags of bulk Legos. Offered 8$ for a few good sized bags of bulk Legos. Will deff be leaving 1 * wish there was an option for half a star. To your repose on here doesn't make up for your bad attitudes though which your ignored. Good luck to your business as well Nancy!
