However, the Labubus are way overpriced. The Baby Three Miniature Bunny blind boxes are priced the same on the website at $19.99. Great customer service at this Tokyo Japanese Lifestyle store. As soon as we came in we were greeted and asked if they can help us with any items we are looking for. We were looking for a specific Baby Three blind box and Pop Mart's Haci Pupu Gummy Bear. Found the mini Baby Three Bunny blind box. Good to know there's a Tokyo Japanese Lifestyle store in The Shops Mall and plenty of parking spaces available for use to park your vehicles.

Man it was warm. Like the second store at The Shops. Maybe the AC was struggling because it was…read moreso hot outside? They have a lot of anime/manga merch. There are mini prize machines as well.

I left with 20 books and a comic box with a big smile on my face knowing I was treated with upmost gratitude and finding the missing issues I needed at a great price! This is a place deserving of the drive for sure! I highly recommended Comic Asylum

But those are pretty expensive. Between $80 and $100 for one Labubu, based on series. They are the real deal though. No Lafufus here lol. Aside from that theres just a lot of stuff. The employee at the counter was nice and chill. Answered any question I had. It was kind of dark in the back. It was well lit for the rest of the store though.

There are so few bookstores left in the world. This one is a bit nostalgic for the 90s, and I'm…read morereally glad it still exists. It's a very strange thing, however, that half of the back part of the store is all toys. But, are there any toy stores anymore? So I guess it makes sense to combine it. Every time I've come, the employees are extremely helpful and answer lots of my questions. When things are not in, they are quick to offer that they can order it. Unfortunately, I am so usually last minute that I don't have time to do online ordering. But, I appreciate that they know and let me know that that's an option. They've got quite a selection of fun, trinkets, and beautiful gifts near the front and in the back. The sale aisles are always a fun thing to look at and usually I find one or two things I didn't know I was looking for. The one thing missing this last trip was I was looking for a magazine about soccer. And they have a huge magazine selection of Tons and tons of sports and hobbies and all kinds of other things. But I could not find one soccer magazine. There was one on wooden boats and baseball and football. But no soccer. Do they not make soccer magazines? This was obviously for a gift for someone else. Anyhow, this is super rambling and yet, you're still reading. So if you're feeling nostalgic and want to grab a real book with paper and the smell of fresh creases, head over here. There's a little café inside as well.

It's also well lit since natural light is coming in through the huge doors and windows from the entrance accessibility on the street. All the different book sections are highlighted and well represented from Anime, Manga, Sci Fi, Young Readers, Novels, Magazines to name a few. Their children's sections is also very welcoming. They have the stage and little chairs for the little ones. This Barnes & Noble location carries everything from books, art, toys, DVDs, magazines and some collectible items. You can definitely find most of the books you're looking for at this location. This is a great place for avid readers like us. We found some cool and interesting books at this location that's hard to find.

Store is conveniently located. Staff is average. Pricing is average. Selection is on the meh side of things.

There was only one time when there was weird hyper "music", I couldn't stay in the store that long as it was giving me a headache & making my heart race in not good ways. Eeek...but it's usually cool... Lots of cute stuff from Japan. Facial products, makeup, body & home scents, travel items, housewares, snacks, portable chargers, bags, slippers, massage tools, seasonal decorations, notebooks & washi tapes, etc... I like going in there to browse & usually buy something... My faves have been the Hot Shrimp Chips, Pocky (even though I'm now liking Pepero brand at the Kpop store better), Hi Chew candies, Portable Chargers are so cute, Tissue Packs (I get the larger soft packs for home/auto), holiday decorations, travel slippers, packing cubes, makeup brushes, facial/back/neck massagers, etc... They change it up often so it's not always the same things... The staff has always been nice!

We mentioned it was for an 8 year old and they assured us she would be able to operate it. They took it out of the box and put fresh batteries in and showed us that it worked (they have a disclaimer posted that you need to make sure what you are buying is "good" before leaving with it. Ours was "good". After she opened her helicopter, dad tested it for a very short flight then we put it back in the box, for later. The next time she took it out of the box, she powered it on but did not fly it. We were about to eat so asked her to put it away until she ate. When she tried to turn it back on, there was no power so we figured it needed a charge. We charged it following the instructions exactly, but it never worked again. We took it back to Funny Toys and spoke to 2 different men. By the 1st, we were told if it had been an exterior part they would have replaced the part but claimed we messed up the interior battery (which cannot be changed) so there was nothing they could do. The 2nd man said he could sell us a more expensive one that is "easier to fly" (which wasn't our problem). He said it was regularly $60, currently on sale for $35, but he would "help us out" by giving it to us at $30 and no tax. I told him we did not have more money to spend on something that has no guarantees and if he could not replace ours I would have no choice but to ensure that others are able to read my review so they know not to shop there. So here I am.

But then I saw the price tag which I thought was a bit steep. But for lack of more choice I settled on three barrettes and two pairs of simple silver plated earrings. All to the tune of $32.29. One of the barrettes broke the second time I used it. Another had the shoddy pearls fall off. The simple "silver" hoops turned to brass then green within a week and the other pair broke on my third time of wearing them. Talk about crappy overpriced cheap garbage. This business should be ashamed of themselves. Steer clear of this place and remind your teenagers as well. Spending money here is like soaking it in gas and setting a light to it. Cheap crappy defunct garbage peddled to unsuspecting consumers. Claire's Boutique.... You SUCK!!!
