Bookoff Pearlridge... what can I say? Cheap books, cheap movies, cheap games, and cheap whatever…read moreelse they sell lol. Sadly we don't have many bookstores on the island, there is of course Barnes and Noble, Bookoff, bookends, and few other stores. After Borders closed, we don't have many places to go to buy brand new books except for Walmart or Target. However, there are many good finds here and a chance to give some used books/media/toys a new home. The staff here are very nice, though of course they don't have a system catalog here. But that's part of the fun, the treasure hunting fun. You never know what you may find. Bookoff also has a buyback counter, where you can sell your used movies, books, etc. but just be aware they are like the old saying where they only offer pennies on the dollar. So you won't make a lot of money selling here. But if you just want to get rid of stuff and make some money, this may be a good option for you.

Shoots, This Place is the So Da Bomb! Came in yesterday with two shopping carts stuffed with books…read moreand honestly didn't know what to expect -- but wow, this place totally exceeded my expectations! The owner greeted me right away with that warm, aloha spirit energy. No attitude, no long drawn-out process. She got straight to scanning my old dusty books while I waited, and when she was done, she texted me -- yes, texted me -- to let me know. Walked up, got my receipt, got my quote. Super professional, super smooth. Here's the best part: while I was waiting, I browsed around and found three gifts for my grandchildren that I knew they'd love. So in one trip I freed up a ton of space at home from books that had been taking up way too much room and knocked out some gift shopping. Win-win-win! The whole setup is easy too -- rolled the carts right from my car into the store, no stress. My friend was chillin' in the massage chair outside the whole time, so nobody's time was wasted. I was originally just gonna dump everything at Goodwill. So glad I didn't. I'm already planning to come back with my old DVDs and CDs just sitting my shed in the backyard. If you've got stuff collecting dust at home, bring it here first. You might walk out with cash in your pocket and a smile on your face. Highly recommend. 5/5, no question!

The lady at the cashier was very nice and even gave my boys a could have free cards! The only down side would be the parking situation.

However, there is some street parking available!

We were on our way back to the elevator to return to our car and leave Kahala Mall. Just then the animal hand puppets in the window caught our sweetie's attention. I know from the past and from my own experience it's worth it to let a grandchild or yourself enter even on a whim to seek simple joy---just to browse or find something delightful: okay just go inside and look. She found something for herself and her little brother. Each was Less than $10. After paying she spotted a tray of mood rings by the register. For $2.99 it was like the happiness we got way back when for inserting 5 cents or a quarter and getting a round bubble gum or a few square ones out of those put the coin in and turn the crank machines. The male employee even squeezed the adjustable butterfly mood ring to fit her tiny ring finger. Such a nice guy. After that she said we didn't need to go to buy her new shoes for school, just go back to my house. It's so very cool to see the wonder that lights up a child's eyes and hear them say Thankyou and mean it.

Occasionally, the store will be slow and we will talk story with Marcus, who is always very helpful when we're looking for "something"! Their selections of toys, especially ones that encourage a child's interest in STEM, is pretty decent. They also have a good amount of the toys that are trending at any given point in the year (Pokemon (figurines and cards) as well as Bakugan). I also appreciate their selection of nostalgic toys such as lava lamps and plasma balls! Their prices are higher than what you would see on Amazon or Walmart or Target; however, I can imagine they need to factor in shipping costs and their rent at Kahala Mall. I recommend checking Thinker Things out! Even if your kid doesn't find anything, you may find a piece that reminds you of your childhood!

They are more sports focused but they do also have a good selection of Pokémon TCG as well. Their prices are fair and the staff are kind and personable. We came for the first time about half hour before opening on Friday for the new Pokémon Pitch Black release. While waiting in line a staff member came out and gave a free pack to everyone waiting in line as a thank-you! That was an absolute 1st for me and such a nice surprise. I will continue to frequent this establishment and if you haven't already checked them out you totally should!

Coming in just before noon Pro Bowl Sunday with a friend, I pondered about how long it's been since…read moreI've visited a store in this line. My friend knew what he sought while I browsed and reminisced as I saw different sports cards. The store layout is similar to stores in the Bay Area with various cards in glass cases and less valuable cards in bins organized by sport and age. I saw a cabinet on the right with some memorabilia from the Pro Bowl from years gone by ()https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=408&select=i24JOx064HzUlh0BmyKj-g. There were comic books and magazines towards the back of the store. I bought a card and my generous friend gifted me a card (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=264&select=YnBbD_lNxCidzMVHaEjaoQ). I am bit out of touch with card collecting as it's been several decades since I kept up. The market has changed where they are now a commodity. Those in-the-know will attest to that. Caught up with the momentum of history possibly being made the following week, I bought a Patrick Mahomes card. Thank you to Dave and Jeff who manned the store and answered questions as they came up. They told me that the owner, Calvin, has been in the business for quite a while and I might have likely shopped at his store in the '90's when the hobby was still of interest to me.

On a visit from a previous year, a friend mentioned wanting to come to a sports card store. I…read moreagreed but, caught up with the activities the rest of our travel group wanted to do, I forgot to fulfill his wish. My travel companion on this trip told me his wish to do this so I made a point to dedicate time for this. In the early '90's, when my friends and I were annually coming here for the Pro Bowl, we'd wander the strip malls along Kam Highway. After stopping at another nearby store, we found this shop coincidentally right by where I was going to suggest having lunch. As my friend browsed, I studied the glass cases and it reminded me of my request for my Bay Area friend to find me a particular WNBA superstar's card. Not knowing the market price, I bought a card due to its high grade. Here is my purchase and another friend gifted card (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=264&select=2HUYa_if69E1-pOb9VNCVw).

After we hung up she called back and invited me to go there today after her brother's baseball game. Sure I replied without hesitation. She had a friend sleepover so 4 of us entered and we purchased 6 Labubus. The exciting macaron is hidden in a box in a sealed bag, unseen so it's like the surprise and suspense keeps building up. Her friend wanted mine called Sesame, you could tell by the expression on her face...so I let her switch and exchanged it for her green monster. I had secretly wanted the light blue or light teal one I saw on the pop mart app. Even sweetie's mom wanted mine and said she'd switch it for her white one. I told them to Jan Ken Po. Hubs came along so when they said aloha charms next I gave the excuse I had to feed hubs since it was lunch time. I told hubs to put my Labubu in the trunk cuz I didn't want it to get dirty at a restaurant. After lunch as soon as we reached our car I asked hubs for my Labubu. As he passes it to me he says, you're just like a little girl... I'm going to take that as a compliment
