    Brand new open area
    Mendel Y.

    I had heard about this place a few months ago and when my son stopped playing Pokemon, just kinda filed it in the back of my head. Just as sudden as he stopped with Pokemon, he started with Yu-Gi-Oh. Being a former Magic player myself, I had always heard the horror stories about the overly aggressive YGO community. As he bought a starter deck and started to learn how to play the game, I decided to finally stop in to Sugoi on our way home one day. Was met with an incredibly friendly staff in a quant little store filled with tables and inventory to satisfy any tcg nerds needs. Was surprised when the staff took their time to sit with my kid and went over the basic mechanics of the game and how to play his deck. Meanwhile, the community within also seemed to embrace a new YGO player and did not seem to throw any attitude or "holier than thou" mindset as I had always heard about. Prices are fair and they seem to have a huge singles inventory in the back of the store to pull from. Overall, this store and it's community is like a breath of fresh air for a TCG store. I could not recommend it higher and really appreciate how Sugoi takes care of it's customers and fosters a welcoming environment. Highly recommend, will be back for sure.

    One of my favorite poke cards, well taken care of

    If you like collecting or are planning to start and are from the OC, then you have to come to Sugoi stuff. There's a lot to choice from different anime stuff for a great price. Staff makes you feel welcome, helpful, and brotherhood vibes overall. Always positive energy, plus the host both card and video game tournaments.

    Evee collection!

After that i had some trade ins a PS2 Fat and a Nintendo Wii and a handful of games, he then proceeded to offer me $50 for it all that was less than or about 50% market for what i had brought in. Just because i wanted to off load this stuff i was like sure whatever, he then tests the systems and they all work. He then comes back to me and makes me a different offer for them "I can give you $40" it got lower??? Anyways it's better to go take your business with a place that's more honest. It just sucks cus they have a good selection of games. Wish they weren't so shady about their trade ins and prices.

The ambiance can get a bit loud since there are table games happening behind the counter, but it's not really distracting. It actually adds a bit of energy to the place. The staff member who helped me had really good vibes, which made the visit even better. Definitely worth checking out if you're into cards. I'd recommend going in the afternoon when it's less busy so you can get the best experience and they value the card based on TCG player price!

    The shop is pretty solid for Gundam and Pokémon and One Piece locally. That said, service and value…read moredo need to be addressed. On the service side: Pretty poor honestly. Body language, eye contact, and tone are lacking. I understand the hobby demographic is not high class, but from the 4 visits I've had, the employees behind the counter show less care and attention. Probably a generational issue, but in business, that doesn't matter. Proper training should be issued. Though I am also sure they would use AI to formulate a "proper" response to any concerns or complaints about what they lack. Value wise: I requested to match or get close to market value from TCG player on product, and they rejected it statong that they dont follow market since they have to make money too "you know what I mean?" This has been a trend on LGS it seems, however one LGS in Artesia/Cerritos met my request despite card/cash payment. I'm pretty sure the script would later be flipped when the market goes up after supply drops with the response of "sorry marketing value is this so we follow that." If you can ignore all that, go for it. Otherwise just look for another store or go to Card shows.

It's one of the newer (and more organized) locations of the Japanese used bookstore, and carries a large variety: from left to right when you walk in figurines, video games, films, books, cassettes, and vinyls. Make sure to come back frequently as the inventory regularly changes! I've picked up fiction, jazz records, and even some wishlist flicks for my dad. While I do think Bookoff in general recently raised their prices (e.g. Blu-rays averaged $5 but are now $7 apiece) thanks to market conditions, you can still find some great deals like $3 clearance movies, $2 books, and $1 vinyls. Associates always greet you when you enter :) I haven't traded in my books or movies since I always tend to walk out with more than I came in with - but they'd be happy to answer any questions there, too. Parking is easy; Bookoff is in the corner of a strip mall with plenty of diagonal spaces.
