I've been to the store in San Mateo many times and I finally made it to the big store! Note that…read morethe location is a bit odd - it's in an industrial park and signage is very minimal and easy to miss. Google Maps led us to the back of the store so you may need to go around. The store is pretty large and has a lot of keychains, plushies, figurines, Gundam Gunpla, and blind boxes (my kryptonite). I got a Nendoroid blind box (!) of Fate Stay Night. These figures are way more expensive than normal blind boxes but Nendoroids are always very high quality so it's fine! I saw a lot of figures that were really cool and I would consider getting them if I had a good display mechanism at my house haha. They even had MY BOY Heero Yuy from Gundam Wing which is quite rare to see merchandise of!

This is a hidden gem tucked away in a business and industrial park. The staff is incredibly…read morefriendly and knowledgeable, and the store carries almost everything you could need for scale modeling, from model kits to a wide variety of tools and accessories. The only exception is paint, which may need to be specially ordered. If you're looking for high-quality figure models or collectible statues, you'll find some very reasonable prices here. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who loves model building, collectible figures, or creating and painting their own character statues. 這是一家被隱藏在一個公司和工業園區的寶藏模型店，裡面的人服務非常好，不管是模型還是製作模型的相關工具，這家店應有盡有，唯獨在漆料上面，店家需要額外預定。不過要是說到精緻的人體公仔和手辦，這裡的價格非常實惠，強力推薦給喜歡模型公仔和喜歡自己創作人形手辦的愛好者。

There are couple other regulars just chatting and doing their own painting as well in the shop.

I randomly saw the low profile page from TikTok and some of its videos? So I decided to come by…read moresince I'm a casual fan of ZZZ. The location itself was a little tricky to spot since there are no guides or labels outside? They just have a single stand saying the times? Which means they are betting on fans to just come on by and no local interactions like most firms Addressing the inside, it's just a small simple place. Room for events on the bottom if people are into those, and a well organized store on the top? They have official merchandise of various games featuring ZZZ. The prices here are direct and fair so there isn't any price gouging like what is usually seen at Anime Conventions? Plus they have a mini point system based on purchases, I'm eager to see what else can be done with it? At the moment, I am certain this is the only or one of the very few locations to buy this kind of merchandise ( Excluding Conventions ). It must also be mentioned this isn't an Anime goods area, it caters to cultured gamers of specific titles? Just a fun small place to get your official goods of specific "titles."

I'll say it again and again. I always love it when business owners are enthusiasts and lovers of…read morewhat they do, especially if it's something somewhat more "niched" such as an anime/hobby shop. To see the owners here being BIG BIG fans of the titles that they carry is truly heartwarming and shows the dedication that they have for what they do and for what they do for their patrons. Not only is this an anime shop, but the downstairs area is used for community and fandom themed events! LOVE this. It's always amazing when there is a space dedicated for fans to convene together and share the things that they love. When I visited last winter, the space was dedicated to Tears of Themis and each "section" was decorated, curated, and themed very carefully to each male love interest which shows not only dedicated effort, but the fact that the people who set it up are familiar with the series. Cannot get better than that. AND I HAVE TO SAY, even though the shop is only the second floor, it is HANDS DOWN the LARGEST selection and variety of HoYoverse and YoStar series goods that I have seen in SoCal. Hell, might even be a bigger selection than if you combined SoraGumi, Sakura Anime Toys, Anime Station, Animate, etc. There were SO MANY Arknights good it was insane. Some of them were event limited items too. They had these huge acrylics of the characters and artbooks and so many more than I have seen elsewhere. It was also blind boxes galore for character tags, keychains (some blind box series were for only ONE character- it was W here which is a huge W), and much more like stickers and plushies. Stickers I haven't seen elsewhere and plushies in limited stock at other shops. If you are into any of the HoYoverse series such as Genshin, Honkai, Zenless Zone Zero etc. There is rows and rows of merchandise for that including and not limited to stickers, keychains, acrylics, plushies, accessories, bags, and so much more. They also had the biggest collection of Tears of Themis items too. I usually only see ToT stuff at most be acrylic stands, some stationary, keychains, and maybe a plushie or a perfume thing, but they had WAY more here, including birthday boxes for each of the boys, blankets, calendars, albums, cheki storage and so much more. Additionally, hands down, the MOST Azur Lane merchandise I have seen for sale physically in person too. And a note to add, the owners were such big fans they made the trek to SoCal to go to the maid cafe collab event? If that's not a showing of their dedication and love for what they do, I'm not sure what is. But back to the review, they had stuff I haven't seen before such as blankets, calendars, and drinkware. Other series that they have available are Wuthering Waves, Infinity Nikki, and for all you GIRLIES OUT THERE, LOVE AND DEEP SPACE! They even recently had a LaDS (cat boy??) themed event there too, complete with cardboard cut outs for photos. They also do preorders for goods too, which is very nice. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of these series but it is DEFINITELY worth a stop if you are in the Bay Area.

5 star independent and locally owned Lego store. My wife came years ago with my kids to make me a…read more"#1 dad" display and I wanted to do the same for her especially when I remembered she was gone at the store for more than an hour. The best part for us was the "build it yourself section" where they have a loose pile of bulk lego as well as a wall with more organized sorting. You can build anything here and every part you use is 25 cents at the register. My kids favorite part was looking for all the figure parts to make a recreation of our family. All those minifigure parts are up front near the "Lego Movie" Wildstyle statue. Near the register is also all the minifigures, I loved looking through these and seeing all the cool old lego figures I grew up with. The middle of the store has a huge city display you can tell was put together passionately. They also have used and brand new sets for sale. I let my kids each pick something around $15 for helping build a present for their mother and it was hard for them to choose with so many options! The store was totally packed the entire time we were there but staff and owners were super kind and helpful in finding random bits for us and other customers. Super kind people, thank you for being amazing!
