There are few Anime/Japanese Stationary stores on the island and JQ is one of them. It's one of my…read morego-to spots when I'm in town to buy collectibles or gifts for friends who love anime. Located inside a small plaza near Ala Moana (Piikoi st.) They share a private parking area with Cho Dangs Honolulu and Nijiya Market. They have a wide variety of items that changes constantly and something new available at the shop. Once you set your eyes on something rare, I recommend buying it instead of waiting because I guarantee you it will not be there the next time you visit. I also advise that the store can get really expensive because these are mostly imported goods from Japan. So spend wisely! Sales and discounts are also provided, but on rare occasions. The employees are also very helpful and nice. They will support your purchase just not your wallet (lol).

My daughter wanted to sell her Pokémon cards. I was going to take her to a different, well known…read morelocation but my son suggested this place instead. 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!

I got a call from my granddaughter yesterday afternoon. She shared she had gotten a Labubu and a…read moreSonny angel from this shop. Her first Labubu was "eaten" by their Golden doodle last weekend. 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

So many cute items that you can purchase for yourself, friends, family, and love ones. It's a bright spot with lots of fans also purchasing the Kira x Miffy goods. Good luck practicing self-control. There's so much fun stuff to look through and buy. Even if you're not a fan, you'll still be able to find something cute to purchase.

Go! Toys & Games is a chain of stores specializing in...toys and games! It's also part of the…read morecalendar store family, so they have a big selection of those too. 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.

This…read moreunique shop located in Pearlridge Center Wai Makai side and is not your typical shop as it seems to be more for the collectors as in the back there's a wall filled with Funko Pop and Pokémon cards in display case among finding some unique characters like One Piece and Skzoo to name a few though the load of Sanrio and Pokémon are found here as well. 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. Thank you!

First off, I have actually been shopping here since they first opened in Mililani Mauka. This…read morespecific issue only started when they moved to Pearlridge Mall. I was hesitant on posting this review, but unfortunately this certain situation keeps on happening and I am not going to stand for it anymore. Me and my partner frequently go to this shop whenever we are wondering the mall, and almost every time we have gone and shopped, we are almost ALWAYS being watched... it is very disturbing and disappointing seeing that it seems like they are profiling us. Things to note about us: my partner ALWAYS wears small fanny packs, and me, a purse that is closed at all times. We wear casual clothes, and yet, they continue to stare at us, and follow us around the store. Of course, we had NO INTENTIONS of stealing, and yet them watching us makes us feel like criminals. There should not be an excuse of the employees being "too shy" because this is inappropriate behavior, and again, makes me feel very uncomfortable, leading me to my next point. I will no longer shop here again. The amount of times we have caught employees literally WATCHING US is unacceptable, especially since I have previously worked retail myself, and am always frustrated with theft as well, but just choosing random people to watch without any actual ques or a real reason is just disgusting. There are things that you are trained to watch for when you work in retail, and it seems like there is a lack of that. It makes me sad because I loved your products and what you had to offer, but I am sorry, if I can't shop here without being watched like a hawk, then I can just take my business elsewhere. Please train your employees better and train them correctly on watching for theft in the right way. I hope no one else has to experience this. :(

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!

The cashier is always friendly and sometimes they do have a cute dog inside. Unfortunately the setup can be difficult to walk through because they have tubs of merchandise on the floor and tables. Just be careful not to knock anything over!
