Due to construction going on in front you must use the rear door to enter the building…read more I didn't think the store was gonna be very large, but I was super surprised when I walked in and seen how actually big it was! This is the first time I've been there and I had no idea how many different items that they actually carry besides comic books. Action figures, sports cards, Toys, Games, Collectables, there was so much to see! We had come in to purchase plastic card protector sheets. The ones that have 9 slots per page, and typically go into binders. It is so hard to find these anymore ! They weren't cheap ( 30$ for 100 pages ) But they were really good quality. The owner was super friendly and helpful. I would totally return to the store when I have more time to check it out further. You should too!

Worth going to if you're in the neighbourhood…read more Big Pete's has a fairly extensive collection of back issues. It isn't as big as Taz Comics, but I've managed to find a few missing issues here that I couldn't find elsewhere. Comics are pretty well organized, but ask for help if you can't locate something, or you need help bringing down one of the heavy comic boxes. Pricing is generally reasonable for back issues (i.e. within +/- 50 cents what other places are charging). But, I have noticed some inconsistencies; one time, a comic I wanted that was in the back issues section section was more expensive than the same comic in the current issues section. Obviously, I grabbed the cheaper one. Toys, action figures, statues, busts and other collectables are also available for sale. However, you might want to check online first to compare prices. They also have a bunch of Funkos, including some rare ones that are priced accordingly. I don't collect Funkos, so I have no idea if prices are market value or not. Big Pete's is obviously a family run business as I sometimes see what seems like several generations of the family helping out at the store. Staff are generally friendly and helpful when asked questions. Free parking is available nearby, but may be difficult to find on the weekends if the weather is nice. COVID restrictions may require that you wait outside to get in as they only allow for a few customers at a time. Luckily, I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes. Unfortunately, they are closed Sundays, meaning the only time I can go is on Saturdays, which is usually a busy day.

Nice owner and good collection with bearbricks, hot toys, and funkos. Order and purchased from here…read moremultiple times. Figures and funkos were all in good condition. Saw this place expand from one tiny corner to now half the shop. Very nice displays and a wide range of collectibles. Ordered my hot toys here a few times and it's fair pricing. Also got my funkos here and they actually have a lot which was something I wasn't expecting. Owner is also very generous without marking up the price for chase variants (rare ones). He just shelves them and list it as the same price as the common ones! A lot of places take or stashes rare ones and mark them sky high. Highly recommend if you collect figures, funkos and bearbricks!

I was greeted by the empire when I arrived. However they err pretty busy with a customer so I didn't really talk to them. Price wise, I am not the best judge since I don't know how these sort of models typically run for.

This is one of the biggest and most comprehensive hobby shops I have been to in a long, long time…read more These don't exist anymore in NYC, having gone extinct by lack of interest and internet commerce. Supplying many of these hobbies have been relegated to a few shelves in big-box craft shops like Michaels and Hobby Lobby in the US. Once I found Imperial Hobbies on Yelp during our vacation and it was near our hotel, I made my plans. I dropped my wife off for her spa day and this was going to be my spa day ;) The store is in a group of buildings almost at the end of the runway of Vancouver Airport (YVR). If you hang around, you'll see tons of airliners approaching for landings and roaring off on take offs. I just couldn't believe the selection of plastic models of planes, armor, cars and trucks along with complete selections of paint and finishing materials. It's these types of stores that I would spend hours in as a boy, but could only stare wide-eyed because I never had much money back then. But now as an adult with a job and disposable income, I probably would have gone broke if I didn't have to pack everything into my luggage to fly home. The favorable CAD$ to USD$ exchange rate also helped a lot in my shopping. I ended up with a couple of scale plastic model kits and a flying model rocket that are rare, out of production kits or very hard to find, even on-line.
