While I was in the hospital recovering from surgery, I would call this shop to order Pokémon cards…read more Dustin always took the time to help me out, no matter what I needed. I even had family members--who had never stepped foot inside a comic book or card shop--go in to pick up my orders, and Dustin made them feel completely welcome every single time. After my surgery, each time I stopped by, he'd celebrate my recovery, show genuine kindness, and always encourage me. I went from walking in with a cane, barely able to stand, to coming in regularly just to hang out, talk cards, and enjoy the atmosphere. This place isn't just a store--it's a community. Dustin and the team make you feel like family. I can't recommend them enough!

The pricing here however is usually 10 dollars more but it makes it worth it due to the huge selection of cars here and your supporting a local business . But sometimes they have sales on cars which are 10 dollars less then hobby lobby. i felt like a little kid at a candy store here. The paint selection is also great finding exactly what I needed. The service here is amazing since I didn't feel dumb or guilty about asking a question here compared to hobby lobby.

We'll usually go in and window shop and she has a blast looking at all the cool stuff. Today was like another of those experiences but with an extra very refreshing cherry on top. Sarah who worked here, was absolutely fantastic. From entering the store and welcoming us with a warm greeting and asking us if we need assistance to the gold standard checkout experience. We love coming here for the amazing products and nostalgic items as well as the amazing selection and atmosphere. Everything is very fairly priced and valued really well. I always enjoy coming here for my daughter and for my own interest. I hope this store stays here at the Sherman Oaks Fashion Square mall for years to come and it's highly recommended for all. Thanks Sarah and Mind Games!

We absolutely love this store…read more Anytime we're at the mall we always make sure that we stop in. We're a big board game and puzzle family and this is the best store for both of those things in the San Fernando Valley that I'm aware of. It is located inside the mall so be aware of that. They have a good selection of games, they have a really excellent selection of puzzles. I'm sure this is driven by what sells for them but they have way too many Funko pop figures for me. That's not my thing, and it takes up a lot of space in the store. But I'm sure they sell a lot of them. They also have some great toys, although not a great selection of them. Everyone here who works here is friendly and helpful. We've never had any issues there. I will say their recommendations are not always great. The main thing that does bring this store down a little bit is just how expensive some of the things can be. It's pretty often that you can find the same item for less money on Amazon. I know that makes me sound heartless, and I love supporting shops like this, but sometimes the price difference is very considerable. But overall it's a great store, definitely check it out.

Went in for Pokemon singles. They have a system where you search cards on a tablet that has pricing…read moreand condition. They were adamant that you use the system to even take a look at cards. There were a couple employees available and I asked to see a couple cards but they insisted I type it into the system, select all the cards I'm interested in, then select check out, and THEN an employee would gather the cards for me to view. The first couple of cards I tried to type in were not found in the system but were in the display case. The employee suggested I type the card number (e.g. 2/108) and that did not work either. Finally I found a card I liked in the system but when I looked up that particular card, it appeared to have 2 versions, both near mint but different prices. When asked about the difference in prices, the person behind the counter took 10 minutes to research the cards and change the prices to even higher than originally listed - stating there was only 1 version of the card and they were mislabeled in the system. At this point, he finally showed me the cards and they were objectively not near mint. I wanted to get a closer look to see how played they were but they would not let me see the card outside the sleeve even when I requested that they take it out themselves if they were scared I would damage the card. He then again took the time to inspect the cards himself and correct the listed condition of the cards in their system while he had me wait. I asked if they would honor the original listed price from when I walked in but they said no. With that, and my not being able to make my own, closer inspection on the condition, I ended up not buying anything since I had no baseline to go off to see if it was worth buying for myself. Even without making a purchase, it was an awkward, uncomfortable shopping experience. The sealed product was comparatively much higher than the current market prices. There is a decent selection of singles but their tablet system was misleading and inconsistent. The selections were not good enough to entice me to come back. Be careful in your own price checking when coming to this place.

Love it here! Everyone is super nice, their selection is awesome (no, seriously--they have a tablet…read morethat has all of their inventory so you don't have to waste your time sorting through piles of bulk), and the prices for things aren't stupid expensive like they are at some shops.

I was going to walk inside at first but saw the sign of no drinks or food and I was holding my wife drink for her so I went to her at another store to take back her drink. I came back inside and asked if having togo food in a bag is fine and the lady working said it was. I went straight to the back of the store and looked at their Dragonball Z figures. The lady working said if I needed any help, just ask her. I didn't end up buying anything but I walked around the store to see what they have. They had some Mario stuff and other characters as well. They also have this little coin dispenser game where it will dispense a little toy if you put in some coins.

The shop itself: pretty cool!…read more The service: pretty awful! We live pretty far. But we've been following their social media accounts for some time now, so we finally made the 2 hour drive out here last month. The drive back seemed even longer after the awful customer service we had. I was honestly in disbelief. We just left empty handed. The fact that I'm still thinking about this experience a month later and had to come on yelp to write a 1-star review makes me realize we should've never jumped in our car to visit this shop. I genuinely hope no one else has to experience that.

I just checked out this new, upcoming TCG shop tucked away in Sun Valley, and it is an absolute…read morehidden gem that we need to protect at all costs. My dad and I are always on the hunt for solid local spots to fuel our Pokémon obsession, and this place completely blew us away. First off, the selection is genuinely incredible. Whether you are chasing that nostalgic high with vintage Pokémon singles or looking to complete your master sets with modern hits, their display cases are absolutely stacked. They also have a massive, well-organized wall of sealed packs and booster boxes covering all the current sets, plus some harder-to-find stuff. But here's the absolute best part: the prices are actually fair. It is so rare to find a shop in the LA area that doesn't try to price-gouge the second a new set drops. You can tell they genuinely care about the hobby and want to build a real community here rather than just making a quick buck. If you live in the SFV or are just passing through, please do yourself a favor and go support this new card shop! It's exactly the kind of friendly, well-stocked local business the hobby needs.
