Filled with all things Japanese it's not limited to the plushies and stationaries we all grown to love and miss as many Japanese stops have slowly disappeared JQ has a great variety to please all levels of anime lovers. Located on the second level right above the Kuhio Avenue Food Hall the first thing I saw as soon as I walked in was some discounted holiday items which is a great time to stock up and find unique decor that area so cute and fun. They do have a huge stock of plushies so fluffy and cute all covered in plastic so that you have no worries of cleanliness along with mystery boxes, huge choices of pens and model kits which are items that can be pricey but are hard to find items even in Japan. A great place with staff that are always willing to help you find items that they may help you to find or just a question, here at JQ Store its a fun trip without the long travel plans. Thank you!

His friend has recommended, saying they offer more closer to value than the other location I was going to go to. He himself had sold cards here and was offered way more than other places. I'm so glad I came here. The guy was really nice. They were somewhat busy but he gave the option of grading cards for her and Venmo so we dont have to drive back! We got a great deal. She was super happy. Lots of parking as it's in a little shopping center. Where Chuck ECheese was. Definitely recommend coming here to sell (and buy) cards. Support local!

After we hung up she called back and invited me to go there today after her brother's baseball game. Sure I replied without hesitation. She had a friend sleepover so 4 of us entered and we purchased 6 Labubus. The exciting macaron is hidden in a box in a sealed bag, unseen so it's like the surprise and suspense keeps building up. Her friend wanted mine called Sesame, you could tell by the expression on her face...so I let her switch and exchanged it for her green monster. I had secretly wanted the light blue or light teal one I saw on the pop mart app. Even sweetie's mom wanted mine and said she'd switch it for her white one. I told them to Jan Ken Po. Hubs came along so when they said aloha charms next I gave the excuse I had to feed hubs since it was lunch time. I told hubs to put my Labubu in the trunk cuz I didn't want it to get dirty at a restaurant. After lunch as soon as we reached our car I asked hubs for my Labubu. As he passes it to me he says, you're just like a little girl... I'm going to take that as a compliment

Many of their locations are pop-ups around the holidays, but this one is going to be a permanent fixture at International Marketplace. It's located on the second story near the Banyan Tree; with big open windows it's hard to miss all the colors inside. Parking is validated for purchases of $10 or more, but it's much easier to get here walking around Waikiki. Their stores sometimes are overpriced, or charge more than similar stores. Despite the visitor heavy area, their prices seemed on par with what I would expect. At the time of this writing, they're having a 40% almost all of the store, which makes prices on some items even cheaper. Check sales on your next visit. They have all kinds of toys: action figures, ships, dolls, higher end collectibles for adults, board games, card games, puzzles, calendars, and cheap odds and ends near the checkout at the back. The clerk was super friendly to talk about the store and still attentive to handle customers. I look forward to dropping in on my walks.

ToyLynx has a nice hole-in-the/wall sort of location in the Dole building and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. This wasn't my husband's first time going - but was mine as we were looking for some of the latest released cards to send to our nephew in Italy. The price isn't marked up insanely like some other places I've visited and didn't break the bank as the price of cards I feel has sky rocketed from when I was small kid. I'd come back for their future releases as they're communicative and reasonable. I like that you can check on IG and even online for stock.

This spacious shop is very clean and organized which makes it very easy to browse and see what they have to offer, and seems like they also buy, sell and trade items as well which is pretty cool though not sure how it's done but for the true collector this is a great deal and a valuable convenient place to do so, it's not quite my vibe but is a cute shop which many seem to enjoy.

Since we had free parking in the shade by Macy's, we really explored all of the shops that carried cute merchandise. Mini Q is on the ground level and has SO MUCH variety! It was overwhelming! I didn't know most of the anime figures. There were some helpful employees roaming the floor. I asked about one unboxed "Big Into Energy" Labubu that was in a cellophane package, enclosed in a glass display case. Her name is Love. The price was a bit high, so she's authentic... and - if I got her - I wouldn't be guessing about which one I would be getting... I'll think about it... LOL!

There were a few miniature eye glasses and I saw a hat. Beneath that shelf were a limited amount of Labubus. They had a lot of inventory of items to purchase of perhaps collectibles. I thanked him and left the shop.

Similar sizes to what was there in the past, if you are looking for something related this is a nice place to come.

They usually have this expo at the Ala Moana Hotel twice a year, the other one was held in May this year. Pretty standard set up and fun things to buy.

As of this writing, the show is in its third year and has gotten bigger and better each time. Keep an eye on their website or Yelp events page for the dates and times. The show is held in Ala Moana Hotel's ballrooms on the second floor. Each year it has taken larger floor space and added dealers. Around 40 dealers/table participate bringing all manner of toys and collectables for kids of all ages. Admission is $3 per person, kids are free. Cosplayers also receive free entry! Tickets are sold at the door, cash only. It's laid out like an trade show with dealer booths and tables along the walls and center of the main room. Who participates changes from year to year, but it's typically the same local people; both from stores and hobbyists. The hotel provides water stations around the show, which is appreciated. The selection is not limited to: LEGO, action figures, video games, anime, DVDs, plush toys, Japanese imports, Funko Pop! figures, high-end statues, and comics. Basically, if it was or is popular, you'll find it! Most dealers handle exclusively in cash, but more are taking credit these days. To be safe, bring small bills for good deals. I'm a big fan of the "junk" bins on the floor; there are tons of deals to be had as sometimes people are just looking to get rid of merchandise. Thank you to the organizers for making this a fun must-attend event!
