Let's be clear. This is the place where hard-core Dungeons & Dragons Warhammer and RPG players go…read more It almost looks completely disorganized, but it is not. The staff know exactly where everything is and you can find everything from handpainted minis to obscure RPG games. What it lacks and aesthetic it makes up twice fold with games, dice, etc. If you're new to the RPG community, it will look overwhelming and intimidating. But if you're a hard-core person, this is where you get your stuff.

I recently went to NYC and visited this store. I build models as a hobby so it was hard to pass…read morethis up. The store limits the headcount the comes in the store to prevent overcrowding. They have tons of displays so you can actually see the vision of the model you are interested to buy. I got 7 items during my visit. With an additional pay, I got some fancy gift bags to help protect it from dust since I was going to travel it back with me. When you hit a certain spend value, ypu get freebies which in this case was a gundam seed keychain and a tamashii nation mini name card stating 2nd anniversary. We got exclusive items since as collector and buyers know, not everything can be bought online. Some items are exclusive on stores only so this was a win for us.

Recently heard about this shop on TikTok and had so much fun checking it out. They have excellent…read moreselection of figurines, plushies, and blind bags galore. The staff were also really friendly and helpful. I asked if they had an YYH figurines and surprisingly they did. The store is well organized which makes it easy to browse and the price point is relatively affordable. Definitely check this place out and support this business if you love anime and collectibles!

After an early supper, was looking for a restroom (can be difficult to find clean public restrooms…read moreanywhere) when I noticed this shop was nearby Macy's. Decided to go check it out afterward. This shop recently opened and still have their grand opening. The lady at the register was nice enough to chitchat and explained some of her wares. It was cool that she offers many Japanese trading cards (original) but we were looking for the English edition cards (they had none). There was a section not for sale but for looks with signs stating to speak to the owners regarding sales of that side. Odd. There were many cute plushies, stickers, figurines, wall posters and other merchandises. Took my time looking at each part of the shop. The wall posters were all the way in the back. The shop is a long narrow space with lots of lighting. Very cool spots for my fellow anime lovers.

It's a Cardinal Sin to buy the Jenga game from anyone other than Jenga, but these guys apparently…read moredidn't get the memo, and more power to them. Cardinal Industries makes the jumbling tower game. Which is basically Jenga with a different name. I call it "Jenga unchained." I like the game a lot. I only recently realized that when you take a piece out, you're supposed to put it on the top of the pile. Damn no wonder it was taking us so long to play. It's cheaper than the brand name Jenga and it works just as well. It's fun. It's simplistic. It doesn't have complicated rules. You can make out in between doing it. So what is not to love. Don't let your baby put any of the wooden pieces in their mouths. If you don't have a baby, then don't let anyone else's baby put any of the wooden pieces in their mouths.

Not a review of the toy store but a review of Cardinal Industries, Inc. I purchased a puzzle…read moresecond-hand because I liked the puzzle image and it was 1,000 pieces. Upon opening it up and assembling it I was not impressed with the size and the shape of the pieces. Size...just look at one of the images I posted. The box indicates a much larger size than what is actually cut. Shape...the pieces are not cut clean nor do they fit together securely. Just based off this box I purchased I would not recommend or purchase another.

If you really need something or are in the area, the staff seem knowledgeable and helpful although the store selection leaves a lot to be desired.

The guy was busy selling another couple on a train set, but didn't seem to ask them any good questions till the end of his speech only to find out it was for a child, and not the gentleman. Also they have cats that roam free, and you can smell it and watch for poop.

When I told the owner he might want to update the hours he got defensive and said the google algorithm controls the hours not him. Like what algorithm does he think it's getting the hours from? They don't have them posted online. Google get the hours from users who report mistakes or add missing info. All I had to do was go to google, report issue, incorrect hours and then put the correct hours in. Ooooh fancy algorithm they have! Also the name on the star is just Warhammer. Not GamesWorkshop
