Go ahead and even ask for a few recommendations and you won't be disappointed, whether you like your super hero comics, or independent. Special shout out to John; he's great to talk to, incredibly funny, and has tons of great recommendations.

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.

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.

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.

Honestly one of worst experiences with a card store ever. Asked if I could pay a dollar for a card…read morethat is that is generally $.50 and not even on tcgplayer bc it's a bulk card that no one cares abt. They're selling it for $2 and the prick of a staff made us feel shitty for even asking. Like you can say no straightforwardly and nicely.

There is a lot of open space with tables, especially considering that it's in the westside. I can only really speak on the MTG side of things, but there is a solid selection of sealed and singles. Although, the selection of mtg seems to be getting smaller dues to the surge in new TCGs. One piece of critical feedback for the shop- the model of paywalling preorders for new sets is not cool. If you are looking for a nice spot to attend prerelease events for magic, this is the spot. It can get quite full, but the energy is fun.
