The store has heating probably AC too. The owners are friendly and welcoming and willing to let you take a closer look at items, etc. My brother and I had fun window shopping here. Possibly looking for items to add to our collection. It was nice to see old toys or TV shows we grew up watching like Ultraman, GI Joe, Starbucks Wars, Starbucks Trek, Hotwheels, Battlestar Galactica, X-Men, Transformers, Macross/Robotech, etc. Come support your local business.

Have George Perez draw your wedding. I assure you, your wedding will look amazing) Keith Griffin Ambush Bug, Question #1, Indiana Jones punching N@zis, ROM. They even gave me a free sticker (I collect Bay Area stickers from the underground / geek culture so Thank You) I will absolutely be back the next time I hear about another $1 sale. Good times.

Other than that, the store has a good selection of merchandise. Such a shame the experience is ruined by rude people.

Short review since we only come here for the gashapon machines…read more I really like coming here. Get some anime gashapon, but it's hard to get some of the ones you like since they're out of stock. I really wish they would stock up more on the popular items. Things are getting a little pricey. $15 for five tokens, and most gashapon are two or three tokens. A lot of the gashapon are anime, sanrio, animals, even food. The last time we were there, they even had little Nikes! The only downside is that it gets pretty warm in there. Especially when the place is packed, it gets really hot. Hopefully they'll think about adding air conditioning or at least fans soon.

HIP HOP COSTUME - GOLDEN SHOES…read more I enrolled in hip hop performance workshop about a month ago. I would train for 6 weekends. The performances would take place during the last two weekends in June. According to the choreographer the color of our costumes had to be gold, silver, or black. I had an idea what my costume would be. The main article of clothing I had to deal with were the shoes. Should I go with gold or silver? I decided to go with gold. About 3 weeks ago on a Friday I went to the Nike Factory Store at the Great Mall because I remember a pair of golden shoes. There shoes were still there. I believe the retail price was over $100 but they were on sale for about $49. However there was a problem with the size. My feet are Size 8 but I wear 8 1/2; the pair of Nike golden high-tops were Size 9. So I decided not to get these pair. After leaving the store I noticed the vendor Toys N Motion selling a pair of golden shoes. However the size of the shoes look like for toddlers or little kids. I never asked if it sold adult size shoes. A week later I went back to the Nike Factory Store at the Great Mall. Even though the size was slightly big I decided to buy the golden pair of Nike high-tops. However the remaining pairs were sold. I was getting nervous because I wasn't sure were to get a pair of golden shoes. I'm uncomfortable of buying specialty shoes on the web because I'm not sure of the sizes on internet are authentic US sizes. The next day I went to the Nike Clearance Store in San Leandro with the hope of finding the golden pair of high-tops. No luck as that store didn't carry it. Then I drove to the Nike Factory Store at the Livermore Outlets to see if that store had those shoes in stock. As with the San Leandro location the store didn't have it in stock. Since I was at the Livermore Outlets I went to different shoe brand stores such as Under Armour, Puma, adidas, and Converse. The closest thing I could find was a golden pair of Converse. However Converse are uncomfortable to dance in and those pair cost more than the pair I found at the Nike Factory Store in Milpitas. After Livermore I drove back to Milpitas to head to the Nike Factory Store at the Great Mall. I was hoping those pair were misplaced on the wrong shelf. I went to all the different sizes and I couldn't find a pair. After leaving the store I noticed the vendor Toys N Motion. I asked the sales rep if he sold adult size pairs of the golden shoes. He said he does. I asked if he had Size 8 1/2. He checked to see and this vendor had that size in stock. So I tried a pair. They fit well. If I decided to buy these pair I would have to break them in. Time was short in finding the costume. Those pairs were priced at $50 however he would sell them to me for $40. After going to different stores I decided to purchase the pair of golden shoes. I could have saved one week time if I asked this vendor if there were adult size shoes available. So the moral of the story is always ask what you are looking for.

Came in today to find out that they were selling etbs for 100, pin box for 25, pikachu box for 55, and tins for 50. I told them I did a pre order (which was told I was paying 50 a box) and they told me that they cant do the preorders bc they are still waiting for more shipment. So to not bitch I waited in line to buy a etb box for 100 bc it's still lower than market. Right when I get to the front of the line, the worker shuts off the register after getting a call from the boss. He then tells me boss will be here in an hour to fix the register. I wait another hour and the owner walks in with 5 more cases. Checks off my name on the list and says I can only buy one etb for 150*** like I was getting a deal or some shit. I shit you not, he changed all the prices right in front of me telling me the other prices were messed up and wasn't suppose to sell for 100. He then changes all the other prices. Etbs- 150 Pin box- 35 Tin - 60 Pikachu box - 55 He goes on saying he only gets 10% of the profit and that the are low on shipment. Which is bull shit bc he gets it straight from the vendor. I then get kicked out and was told to not come back bc I lit that place up. Toys N Motion located in Milpitas Great Mall if you want to take it raw. Bad business and greedy owner.

I was actually hesitant to write this because I thought I was being a little harsh, but I'm…read moreactually glad to write it now that I've seen the most recent reviews. Service here is shockingly lame and rude. I wasn't expecting that before I came in because I had a polar opposite experience on the phone with them. I actually called two days ahead to ask if they had something in stock that I needed sooner rather than later and couldn't find anywhere else nearby (not even at the other locations). They had one left and the guy on the phone was super nice when I asked if it would be alright if they held it for two days. He didn't even hesitate and set it aside for me. When I went in to pick it up, I was met with stone cold silence from the guy behind the counter. There was another guy in front of the counter who I assumed was a customer at first, but when they stopped talking and he went back to working, I realized he was an employee too. Neither said a single word to me or my brother when we walked in, the only customers in the store. They saw us, kept talking to each other, and ignored us. Even when I was standing right in front of the guy behind the counter, looking at stuff at the front of the cash wrap, he didn't say a word, making it painfully obvious he was pretending I wasn't there. It was blatant enough to make me feel awkward and very clearly unwanted in the store. Even his phone demeanor was disgruntled. Within a handful of seconds and the customer's first question, annoyance was creeping into his voice and he was doing everything to end the call as soon as possible. I worked retail for five years at a GameStop. I'm of the mind that employees should be making the first greeting when someone walks in. Customers can take their business anywhere but they've decided to take it to you -- do the bare minimum as a worker and person and say, "Hi, welcome in." When it finally came time to pay, dude behind the counter had the enthusiasm of a corpse and personality of a wet sock. Totally transactional. Even my brother, who tried to make very minimal small talk, was unsuccessful with getting any reaction out of the guy. Great place to go if you love tabletop games, board games, and getting treated poorly. Not so great if you're a card collector, especially Pokémon. They hardly had anything in stock on this particular day. Not interested in coming back another day to see if stock gets replenished. No reason at all to come back here.

The adult books include fiction, biography, cookbooks, sci-fi and fantasy, and more. I found several books that looked interesting and settled on a new one by Lily King called Heart the Lover. I don't know anything about it, but enjoyed her last book. I also bought myself a cute canvas shopping bag with cats and a book club theme. I keep thinking about a couple of the books I left behind. I'm pretty sure I'll be back soon to pick them up.
