An unexpected visit to Kerrisdale led me to this small, collectible store, with an abundance of…read morefigurines, ranging from various Japanese animation series, like One Piece, to Marvel. The prices were reasonable, too, especially when you compare them online, and I was able to pick up a little Funko on my way out. They do sell a lot of Funkos, and I'm usually not the type to collect, but I couldn't resist getting Sanji. I don't see One Piece Funkos often, so I was happy to have stopped by and will likely visit again. I don't agree with the comment below that says that owner was distant/cold, but rather, he was working to display more figurines/merchandise for customers and did greet those who entered.

This store is located in the crystal mall on the 2nd floor…read more I like coming here for the Gundam kits. They have a wide selection and at reasonable prices, cheaper then the Sakura Media in Metrotown mall. They also sell packages of the paint pens. as well as your other generic hobby paints and equipment. They also sell: Takara Beyblades (the japanese brand that makes beyblade) and accessories. As far as I know the beyblades vary in price depending on which one you want to get. I can't say for sure how much they average around since I have no interest in buying one. Trading cards (yugioh, pokemon, etc...), along with deck boxes, and sleeves. Plushies A few anime trinkets (near the entrance) like key chains and wallets. And some random accessories and things (umbrellas, and cellphone cases)

How a retailer responds when there is a problem is when you really find out what they're like…read more Unfortunately, Toy's Planet is a prime example of a retailer that isn't doing the "buy local" movement any favours. I have purchased 4 Beyblades from Toy's Planet over the last few months which cost roughly $120 in total. My most recent purchase was a Beyblade with a string launcher that jammed after the first 30 minutes of usage. This was my first Beyblade purchase that included a string launcher which was a stocking stuffer for my son at Christmas. When I went back to Toy's Planet the day after the string launcher jammed: - I received horrendous customer service and was basically told that the broken launcher was my fault because they don't know how it was used - It was made very clear that Toy's Planet does NOT stand behind the products they sell - There was absolutely no acknowledgement or appreciation of repeat customers whatsoever So if you are buying a product from Toy's Planet that has the potential to break or malfunction, you may want to consider making your purchase from another retailer (or Amazon) that you know will stand behind their products because if something does go wrong, Toy's Planet has clearly demonstrated that they will not do what most retailers do which is make things right for the customer.

Weirdly, one of the best places to get cheap board games when they're on sale, but their non-sale…read morepricing isn't competitive at all, so you have to wait for the sales. They had Ark Nova for $10 (!!!!) on Boxing Day last year, and they had it on sale in November of this year for $50, well below the price a lot of copies were selling for used. Of course, this place is mainly about selling calendars, but they also carry a few other things, including kids toys, little arts and crafts kits for kids, kids books, puzzles, etc. I just stop by here sometimes for the board games, so I can't judge if their pricing on other items is any good or not, but my friends tell me that their pricing on jigsaw puzzles is decent.

Where there are hordes of Chinos, there is bound to be at least one SUP Bookstore. What may seem a…read morebit confusing at first, SUP (#1) is no question/greeting, but rather the abbreviation for Sino United Publish (#2). In Chinese, its "San Lian Shu Dian" or "Sam Leen Shu Deem" but if you didn't already know that, its likely the book selection isn't for you. I note this because virtually all of their books are published in Chinese. Lots of materials that were never given an English Cliff Notes version (aka Chinese Literature) will be on full display here. Whether its a New York Times Best Seller translated into Chinese or a How To book on anything, it's going to be available here. What do you do when you're not exactly Chinese literate? First of all, you'd probably have to figure out why you're there. Are you learning Chinese? Buying a gift for someone who does? Best ask an associate for some recommendations for a good read. And yes, ask one who speaks a reasonably good amount of English. The service has been good here, the crowds rarely flock here (#3) and the prices seem fair though a non-bookworm (aka me) has a hard time parting ways for any hardcover book for $50 unless its limited edition or includes an entire volume set. Audio books, here I come. _________ (#1) Personally, I like "Sup Bookstore(?)" much better. (#2) Publish..ers. Sometimes we like keep things shorter. I mean short. (#3) Does anyone read anymore?

This place has a fairly good selection of books of the Asian origin if you know your language well…read more This is one of the few bookstores I've found outside of Asia that carries a lot of text-based book series versus manga or comic type books and they also carry a lot of informational books or reference type books in Asian languages that you wouldn't find, say at Kinokuniya. I am surprised by this because this is pretty rare for an Asian bookstore which would usually consist of a lot of Asia culture type items like toys and stuffed animals as well as little trinklets here and there. Now onto the re-learning of Chinese ...

I went through about 12 boxes and 3 stacks of golden and silver age books and ended up buying 12 comics. Prices were fair, but the best part is their comic grading is spot on!

Kept shouting in the phone because he or the person the phone was having cell service issues. Loud enough everyone in the store could hear. He proceeded to yell at his employees asking for someone to get him another phone. The nice guy at the front ran to get him a comic because he misheard. The guy yelled at the guy saying he "asked for a damn phone". Ruined my experience and I decided not to support the business.

I couldn't read the sign before to review on the store, but this store is fantastic! Rice crackers,…read moresauces, mixes, Japanese rice, cold beverages, chocolates are just a few items I've picked up. They also have a card/ toy section. What stands out is from this store is, all the snacks are not the normal ones you can get from TnT, Fujiya. It's not the largest store with the most variety but it has unique products. Prices are also more competitive than the other Japanese stores. Btw, they have discounted items that are near expiring that is crazy excellent pricing and I've never had an issue with. Free street parking on the front, next to a salon, and a sports racquet store.
