Crazy Monster is located in the 7th floor of the Beverly Center. It sells blind boxes and…read morecollectible toys, bag charms, large toy art pieces from well-known toy companies like PopMart, Top Toy, Sanrio and Finding Unicorn. You may be wondering about Labubus. No, they do not sell them but I have seen other lines like the Crying Baby line. The sales associate was nice and assisted us with the figures. We bought several boxes, including the One Piece blind box, Nook, Finding Unicorn x Agan American Vintage and a panda that was on display as it was the last one. If you are tired of chasing and competing for cute plush pendants and don't want to spend reseller prices, come through to Crazy Monster and get to know other blind box companies.

RWT is a fairly huge TCG collectable shop! Walking into the entrance from Sawtelle side makes you…read morefeel as if you're going to a store in Japan. This shop is located on the 2nd floor of The Block plaza. Coming from Sawtelle, you into a hallway and up a set of stairs. You are immediately greeted with everything TCG related. There are sealed products along the wall, show cases with graded cards and fan made merch?, folders with loose singles. Then along side of the area near the window you'll see table set up for gaming. There is a lot to check out, I can't say the prices are retail but more likely at competitive market rates. The craziest part is, that is not all. Walking towards the opposite side of the shop are sports cards. The area is not equally as large as the TCG side but there was for sure a lot to look at. My niece was looking for Pokemon Full Arts and she was able to find a double handful just by browsing the binders. Parking: private structure, street VERDICT: Rinse and repeat

A really fun shop to stop by if you're in the area. I almost missed this hidden gem. I was right…read morenext door at a soft serve shop and saw a singular door that the bottom of some staircases. On top of the doorway had the letters "RWT" and saw a few people entering. I looked up the Yelp page and to my surprise it was a TCG shop. Highly recommend stopping by to look around. Of course we had to take a yonder. They have a ton of PSA graded and bulk cards for cheap. Love that they have bulk cards laying around for you to look through, some are in binders some are in small boxes. Also have a ton of seating for their community events, including trade nights and tournaments. Kept clean, tons of trashcans at the end of each table. We visited on a Saturday that was pretty warm, high 80s with high foot traffic and it stayed well ventilated and cool with AC.

This is still a cool hobby shop for many people. Whether you are looking for items to build that…read more4th grade mission project or if youre building a car, they have everything. The prices are still decent due to the recent tariffs and whatnot. Service is always nice. There is always someone around to help get you what you need. There is no public restroom, so they told me to go next door to the laundry mat. Parking is street parking, but what ive done is park inside the liquor store parking lot, go inside the store and buy some snacks/drinks/food, and then go into the hobby shop. They offer gift cards in case you dont know what to get for your hobby friend. Trust me, idk what my husband has in his back log so it was easier for me to get him a gift card than to get him something he already has.

Great mom and pop hobby store. Lots of models, paints and tools/accessories to choose from.read more

I'n not entirely sure what this guys problem was that day, but boy did I have a poor experience on…read morethe phone with one of the guys that work here. I'm a private Pokémon card collector that has never ventured into the world of buy/sell/trade, so I decided I'd call a few shops in the area to see what they'd recommend, and this is exactly how this conversation went. Guy answers phone, i asked him if he had a minute to answer a couple questions i had. "i mean i have a few people I'm helping right now but yeah sure" I proceed to explain that i was looking for guidance or advice on how to offload my extensive Pokémon card collection as I'm moving out of the area, and i was wondering if they had a buyer or something of the sort that would sit down with me and run through it to see what they're willing to buy, etc. He responds, "oookay. Are you planning on paying someone for that?" Confused, i asked what he meant? "Basically what I'm getting at is no, we don't do that. I have a guy here that's really knowledgeable about that kinda stuff but i wouldn't wanna waste his time" I thanked him for his "candid" (read: completely rude) response and that i would look elsewhere. Needless to say I'll never step foot here again.

Unfortunately, they don't have a good selection of YGO cards, just 10-cent common cards. They have a selection of cheap Pokémon cards from 10 cents to $1. Not a bad store to go to if you need something like cards or board games but felt a little weird inside. Edit: Changed to one-star due to business response and poor customer service. Man acts like I've never stepped foot in a card shop before.

Found out a month later it's a famous fake. Would not return any of my multiple emails about it. Took the money and run. Couldn't figure out why a Koufax auto was so low in price and now I know why. Got Ebay and the credit card company involved and got my money back so the scumbag did lose out in the end. Plus listed him in Autograph magazine as a thief as well in numerous sports cards websites all over. If you do a search of Melrose Sports cards and Koufax fake autos, you'll see this guy is marked as a thief everywhere. Guys like this destroy the hobby. Again, Melrose Sports cards purposely sold me a fake Sandy Koufax autograph and would not return any emails when I found out. Do not give this shyster your business.

They have a really big selection for Magic, but not much outside of that, which is what I was hoping for. I guess I was just in the wrong type of store. Everyone that was in the store, including the employee, didn't say anything, but gave us weird looks for being there. I'm not really sure why. There shouldn't be anything wrong with outsiders just checking the store out.
