Vincent went out of his way to get this information by encouraging me to shoot the Hive phone number a pic via text message, he then forwarded it to someone at the two neighboring stores (Retro & The Halloween shop, unsure of the official name). Thanks for the hustle! Seems the owner or hiring manager really knows how to pick a swell staff for all three locations on the block! I'll chime into the Hive if I need to get something oversized or something for the men in my life!

They also have complete Lego sets which I have purchased in the past, but we went there this time specifically for minifigs.

Everything here is really quality and there are so many different genres so there is something to love for everyone. It's located in a small shopping center so there is a free parking lot attached in front. The man behind the counter who I interacted with was very polite and I enjoyed speaking to him, he also mentioned that they buy toys back from people they sell too, so it really is a community and shop. I would say pricing is fair and I was able to find some really unique one off items as well as some blind boxes. This is more for the collector and someone who can appreciate things versus children, however, there would be things for kids, too, it's just for those who can appreciate the items. I would suggest and plan to be back again.

So I found this store while flicking through a JPy magazine. It looked interesting enough that I…read morewanted to make the trip from Cerritos to Torrance just to check it out. Yupp whole 25 miles of it. Here's the story of that trip. I woke up on a Saturday morning to leave for Torrance. Admittedly, halfway to Torrance I had my doubts. It is a really far place and even if I have lived in Torrance its really out of my way. But I figured I'm halfway there already and I needed to satisfy my curiosity! I get there and its located in a small plaza with other business establishments. I found it quite odd for a clothing store so chic to be in the middle of restaurants and other stores. But that's just me. I went inside the store and I was the only person inside. There was one girl who didn't even bother to say hi to me or offer to help which was very disappointing. How hard could it be to ask the only person in the store right? Service aside, it was a stunningly beautiful store. I really loved the rustic, vintage layout of the store. I even loved the small dressing room in the corner surrounded with the brick walls. So ingenious! It made me feel at ease browsing around the shop. They did carry some good high end brands not jut for womens but more mens too. I saw Current Elliott jeans, Tom Ford sunglasses, Jurlique Skin care, Tocca Perfume, Toms, just to name a few. Everything was well made including the accessories. Even their own line of La Chou Chou clothing was very well made and they're not that expensive to boot! The only downside is, there's really not a ton of selection. And what they have in the front in terms of sizes are what they only have left. It was really too bad because I was determined (desperate maybe?) to get something from this store. But all my sizes were gone. And I don't know if all the sizes were gone but I noticed they seem to carry jeans in the smaller sizes. In the end though, I left the store empty handed. I was very disappointed and frankly sad. I expected more but the store fell short. Would I come back to make the trip again? Probably not. But if I'm in the area I'll definitely drop by. I saw some cute accessories that I want to go check out again. And who knows they might have more clothes in stock. Plus, as I was leaving the plaza, I saw some Japanese restaurants with Okononami Yaki and a pastry shop right next to it. So yay for me. I guess that means my trip hasn't ended yet! :]

There were two gentlemen in there, one was stringing a racquet. They don't have a huge selection, but we looked around and the guy asked how he could help us. I said I just needed some grip and what kind and color they had. He showed me a couple and I said it was just for my son's racquet, so he showed one to me and said it was a little cheaper. I appreciate that honesty and that he didn't try to upsell me. I bought the grip and was on my way, and it was great customer service. I would definitely go back there, because I felt they had expertise in the questions I asked them (in addition to the grip), and they made the time to answer them and make me feel welcomed.

They really have a lot of stuff. One of the main things about this shop is that the prices are not very high. Whereas some independent thrift stores tend to put a high dollar amount on their items, this is not the case with this shop. Thus, you can discover some really interesting and unique finds and not have to pay an exorbitant price for them. As can be expected, the shop has a wide variety of items. They have jewelry, books, electronics, clothing, you name it. You never know what you'll find here, and it is always evolving. In terms of parking, there's a lot of street parking in the area, so getting a spot should never be an issue. Overall, if you're in the area, this is a great store to come in and take a look, you never know what you'll find.
