The value and price of the product is fair and the lowest you will find in SoCal. The service is also amazing as every worker will walk up to you while browsing and ask if you have questions. Also workers do a great job with hospitality and make you feel welcomed by making small talk as long ad the store isn't super busy. Buddies Collectibles is the best TCG store in SoCal and I would recommend coming here if you want to buy cards or play in tournaments as they also do host tournaments everyday!

Unfortunately I had a bad convo with one of the Managers (Josh) and probably won't be back for a while. He proceeded to tell me that the employees spend $40,000 to $50,000 in their shop and other customers spent $100,000 so my money isn't important to them. This isn't the first incident I've had but it will be the last for a while. I understand that not every employee will be completely knowledgeable on every product in the store. My review and position on this matter is 100% precipitated by my interaction with the manager

Speaking of seasons, they have plenty of items for the various seasons and holidays. On a side note, it is a bummer that retailer Jo-Ann went out of biz by May of 2025. Glad to have HL at two South Bay locations currently. Another Elite yelper may have mentioned how the store layout is arranged by department category and is not numbered. Customer service is hit or miss. Most of the time, I have been on my own depending on which department. On the sales floor no one has approached me to offer assistance. The employees at the framing section have been helpful and efficient. Cashiers have been nice for the most part but their supervisors or leads did not give that same courteous vibe. Hours are 9am to 8pm and closed on Sundays. The Yelp 3 star average overall is accurate.

This is one of the few places that still carries materials such as fabrics for making dresses or…read moreany other items that you want to sew together. They have a wide variety of hobbies and decorations for your home. Prices are great. Keep in mind, this store is a Christian company so the store is closed on Sundays. During Christmas, this place is packed with customers and will often run out of decoration supplies for your Christmas decorating needs, so go early in the season. Lines will be especially long during that time of year, even on the weekdays. You must have patience while standing in line. The wait can be a bit long.

As I walked back to my car, another car pulled up, a guy got out, went to look at the door, looked at me with the what-the-heck shrugged shoulder looked and shook his head walking away. When someone drives up from 45 minutes away to check out your store to make it there before closing time on a weekend, then that's not cool.

First time in a card shop in a long time and while this was not a disappointment it was not really…read moresomething that really excited me either, I was eating lunch next door and they were open, so I stopped in. I was acknowledged by the one staff member who was already helping another customer so that was appreciated. Too a look around and the space is a little large for their offerings, hopefully they can grow and survive, the had a mix of graded sports and gaming cards, and ungraded cards, their selection was OK, it was in a display case near one wall with some supplies on another wall and some boxes on the other wall. Overall, they seem to be under utilizing the space available to them, as far as their inventory of single "better" cards go it's about what I would expect to see on one dealer table at a card show. The cards were somewhat organized by sport or game, but others were mixed together. Prices were not terrible, but I did not see any super bargains that I needed to grab and pick up. I've seen better small shops, and I have seen worse, so BoxBreaks falls right in the middle. I would give them a call if I was looking for something, but I wouldn't make a special trip without calling first.

We…read morepatiently waited while the only available employee finished helping another customer, which was completely understandable. When it was our turn, my son asked about the LEGO sets he had brought in and whether there was any trade-in value for them. However, before the employee could respond, another customer walked in and the two began chatting in Spanish. The conversation continued for a good two minutes, with no acknowledgment of my son or the fact that we had been waiting. For a child who was genuinely excited about this visit, being overlooked like that was really disheartening -- and honestly, it was frustrating for me as well. We left without getting any help. We truly wanted to support this local business, and I hope this feedback is taken constructively. As it stands, though, it's unlikely we'll return.
