Thankfully, they were able to bring it back to life and its been fine ever since. They also cleaned and updated our PS5 and fixed the controller which had serious "stick drift". These guys are great and very reasonably priced for the work they do and the headaches they end up saving me. Plus they guarantee their work so any issues any they'll take care of it. Highly, highly recommend!

Originally came to Book Off because I saw it had merchandise from Tokyo Sea. Apparently so did…read moreeveryone else. By the time I came, all the good merch were sold out. But no fear, they have so many other items to choose from. They offer books, collectable figurines, old game consoles and games, vinyls, and many other items. Some are Japanese related but not all of them are. I would say it's a pretty good sized store and everything is organized and labeled. It's fun rummaging through the boxes to see what goodies one might find, remember that this is a used book store so most items are pre-loved. I didn't get any Tokyo Sea items but I did get a pre-loved well kept Japanese Pressed vinyl of Air Supply's greatest hits! Priced at only $19, I thought it was a great find. Clean, well organized, lots of things to go through. Definitely a place worth checking out if you like hunting for treasure.

This is our first visit to Book Off. We are normally not just hanging around in Monterey Park, but…read morewe had a lot of time this visit and I love a bookstore. This is mostly used books. They also have CDs and other items. They have a great selection of books. Their prices are a tad high, but not insane. It is my understanding that they don't pay much for books you bring into sell, but I have found that to be true where ever I go. I just don't bother anymore and give my books away. The service is great. They know where the books are, there are so many, and they will actually help you and not just point in some direction. Parking is easy and free. The place is packed with books, but you can get through with no problem. I found a couple of books that I did not have and have not had the chance to read. All in all I was very happy.

Collector's Paradise is more or less a classic comic book shop featuring new and backissues,…read moregraphic novels, posters, pins, and many other things. The emphasis, though, is primarily new and recent comics. Passing through on a rainy afternoon I was pleased to find its location is near a few important stops in Pasadena, and there's some parking available in the private lot. I was mostly there to check out the selection and see if they specialized in anything unique. Not to say they don't, but it's still a well-stocked store. I was the only customer and enjoyed the classic jazz playing in the background. Pro Tip: Most established comic shops have subscription plans paid annually, or one-time up front. A customer goes through Comic Book Geek to pick their titles and sometimes preferred cover art, and the shop pulls their requests and holds them until the customer picks up the stash.

Now, they were all no Stewart comic book store but out of all of the ones in the area, this was the best by far. Chill vibes, plenty of comics, easy access, and easy to purchase at the end. Only critiques I would give it would be to have a little more for the other collectors. And what I mean by that, have a couple more action figures, Funko, pops, etc. that will probably bring in some more people for sure. The other thing would bethe music playing in the speakers. Didn't care too much for the rock, but still all in all, nice place to go. There's plenty of parking and easy to find.

I've had a disappointing experience here at Videomen and have been holding off on writing my review…read moreuntil now. I took my childhood Nintendo DS Lite to Videomen to get the top screen fixed as it was broken. I've been waiting for years to get the screen fixed and was excited to finally see it happen. When I came to pickup my DS, I noticed there was a popped pixel on the new screen. I told the guy who was working there who I think is the owner that there is a popped pixel and if he could install a new screen. He said he couldn't do that and all replacement screens have popped pixels. I ended up paying and still have a defective screen. I would never come back here or recommend this place to anyone.

Stumbled into FYE at the mall with my boyfriend and instantly knew this place was our kind of vibe…read more As huge fans of collectibles, we were seriously impressed by their unique and well-rounded selection. Everything from toys and clothing to movies and tons of fun merch. I was living for all the nostalgic finds! They had goodies from Scooby-Doo, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Powerpuff Girls, Invader Zim, SpongeBob, Pokémon, and so many other cartoons I grew up loving (and still do). It honestly felt like stepping into a curated throwback dream. They also had tons of cool Sanrio and Anime stuff. Fair warning though... this place is dangerous for your wallet in the best way possible because I kept finding things I wanted. Luckily, they had a lot of in-store promotions and prices that felt super reasonable. The store itself is spacious and nicely organized, so it didn't feel overwhelming despite how much they carry. The staff was also super friendly and helpful, which always makes a difference. As a horror movie lover, I was especially excited when my boyfriend surprised me with the "King of Horror Expanded Edition 8-Film" DVD set--such an amazing find! I've been wanting to build up my physical media collection, and this felt like the perfect start. Safe to say, I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the mood to treat myself.

Super cute shop dog!…read more Love that they also support the community as well. If you purchase something the day off, you get a discount, same day at a local boba place within walking distance. There's a couch to lounge on, tables for game nights or casuals, and you can also draw some art of your own OC card too. Not only do they have trading cards here (Magic the Gathering, Poke'mon, Lorcana, One Piece TCG, and Grand Archive). No YGO though, but probably for the best (IFYKY). On top of single cards, booster packs, and booster boxes, you can get card accessories like sleeves, storage books and boxes, playmats, etc. They also have some plushies and anime figures as well, ranging from prize figures to some nicer ones. Staff was super friendly and welcoming and my friend got some of the Avatar the Last Air Bender MTG cards and was able to do some good pulls. Prices were fair and we had a good time. I don't think I'm going to dip back into the TCG world, but if you're part of the community, this is a great stop.
