    Fixed Dreamcast with replacement clock battery mod.
    Ryan D.

    Been to this shop few times. The staff is friendly, personable, and professional. They have a good variety of common and rare games. Overall the last few visits I've gotten some banger common games like Lord of the Rings Return of the King at a reasonable price. I've also gotten some repairs done for my Dreamcast when no other repair or retro shops in the area would take the job. It was done very quickly, same day when reviews of other shops would be weeks. Overall this shop feels like it's run by legit honest people, in a time where many more retro shops are looking to over charge post pandemic/video game grading bubble. They also have Instagram where they update with their latest stock and various skits.

    Do you offer game disk resurfacing to fix scratches on wii games?

    Yes, depending on the severity of the scratches it might need a cleaning or resurfacing which we can do here. It is $3 a disc.

    Would you purchase a Wii console?

    Currently we are overstocked on Wii systems and are passing on the systems until we sell some of the stock we have. If you have any games and controllers you can definitely bring them in to receive some value. Feel free to check back in a couple… Read more

    Do you sell new releases before street date?

    No we don't. Sorry.

    This store does not do repairs or hardware mods.

    Do you do refunds just wondering?

    We do exchanges, but no refunds.

    Do you repair switch games and if so how much does it cost?

    We do not. You're best bet is to call or log onto Nintendo's Website and get a quote or see if it is under warranty.

    Do you repair consoles?

    We do not. Sorry

    Do you purchase Super Nintendo games?

    Yes we do. In fact, we are paying 20% more for Super Nintendo and N64 games right now. Lawrence

    Do you have Nintendo switch right now?

    No, I sure don't. Sorry!

    Do you guys sell Classic Edition NES systems or the original NES?

    I don't have either. I still carry the NES, but I am out of stock and the NES Calssic Mini has been gone for quite a while.

    Do you sell power cords for consoles? I need a power supply cord for a Sony PlayStation 2 Slim.

    Yes we do. The power supply and cord is $19.99. If you have the slim that uses just a cord, it's $6.99

    Do you provide Xbox one controller repair, specifically joystick repair?

    We do not do repairs Nate. Sorry

    Do you guys fix xbox one?

    No we sure don't. You can try Microsoft for certified repair locations at 1-800-4my-xboxd Lawrence

The Wii they sold him was supposed to be complete in the box but was missing peripherals and the game it was supposed to come with. After contacting the seller they said they would make it right but when the day came to meet up they pushed it back to another day. On the second day they were supposed to meet up they had completely cleaned out their shop and weren't at the booth they are usually at. After seeing the shop empty my friend contacts Alex who is the owners son (This is a Father-Son business) and says he is suddenly "not part of the business anymore." Alex gets upset and threatens to shoot him after he calls his Dad a scammer and said he wanted his money back after being told several times they would "make it right."

I hope they're able to get the help that they need to help support their community, but I still stand by the frustration experienced when attempting to reach out multiple times.* I've spent a good amount of time calling this store trying to get ahold of a worker for clarification on a tournament they are holding. The phone doesn't even fully ring before you get sent to voicemail so I want to assume they're declining the call, but hopefully I'm wrong. Called since their opening and between the hours and still no luck talking to someone. They don't respond to their socials either. This feels very unwelcoming to new folks trying to stop by and support their shop. Unfortunately I cant comment on anything else from this shop as this was enough to deter me and my friends from wanting to visit, but it's great to hear from their community about their situation which clearly means their locals are happy playing there.

They host a lot of cool events and tournaments and the owner is really nice. I saw him give kids some "help" getting their grail cards multiple times.

If you're looking for TCG, always come early and speak to the staff about what they have coming in because you guys know the struggles are real right now!

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.

We do not have many independent bookstores around anymore so to find this literally sparked joy! Glad husband and I had a chance to wander through this wonderland of books. There are a lot to dig, for sure. We spent a good hour there, most of it conversing with the owner, Thomas. He is really nice and knows his books for sure! It was super cool getting to know him in such a short period of time. Anyway, I guarantee that you will walk out with a book in hand! I found a couple books...this should keep me busy for a little bit, lol. Husband, of course found a few too, for his library. Every time I mention "let's go the bookstore", husband would always frown because we have so many books! I would respond, "would you rather me shop for another handbag?" LOL. Yea...I didn't think so. Reading is fundamental. Keep on reading and exploring and discovering new stories and adventures in a book near you. Come and support this local bookstore and keep it alive. We need them as much as they need us. Happy reading!
