I've been an anime fan for over 20 years and having grown up in this area, I've seen quite a few…read moreanime stores come and go. In this modern era where you can pretty much buy any anime merch you want online, Anime Station still manages to provide a unique, curated shopping experience with the following: 1) Constantly updating with new products and new anime goods. Everytime I visit, there's something different and it's fun to just browse. 2) Capsule machines. There's a good number of them and while they are just a bit pricey, the variety and unusual prizes are worth it. 3) Official goods. As far as I can tell, most of the items are officially licensed and displayed in an orderly, neat way. 4) Ichiban kuji. If you don't know, Ichiban kuji is a prize lottery where you buy tickets towards different tiers of prizes. There are ways to purchase the prizes online but it's much more convenient the way they have you purchase tickets here. The Ichiban kuji available here are a good mix of older anime and new ones. It's also really nice that they have the prizes on display so you have a better idea of the actual product. It's often hard to tell sometimes what a prize is really like from photos or sample illustrations online. Today when I stopped by, Kate and the young man working (sorry forgot his name) helped me out to purchase tickets for the Frieren Ichiban kuji and I was able to get the special last prize!! Thank you so much!

Really small place, but a bunch of selections. It is located in the back by the gate. It is a small…read morestore so just look carefully. When I entered there was a few people working and they were all helpful. They guided me and helped me found the funko pop I was looking for. The price was just right and is way cheaper compare to Amazon. In addition, they have a small second floor and that is where you can find the commons funko pop. I suggest you bring cash because when I payed with cash they did not tax's me. You just pay the flat price of what did you get.

I was glad that I found this place since I just started becoming a avid Pop! collector of recent…read morehehe I was confused the first time that I was trying to locate the store a month or so ago since the GPS lead me to this white building and I couldn't see the store front when I first drove into the parking lot. But when I doubled back, I saw that I was in the corner of the entrance of the lot. I decided to park on the street to play it safe and then walked over to the store. I was excited to see soo many pops in one place, especially the ones that were rarer and more expensive. Their pop prices start at $10.00 for their common ones and goes up from there based on rarity, if it was exclusive to a convention or so and more. There were also mystery packs and pop protectors for sale as well. The pops were sorted by either movie, show or collection. The expensive ones were mostly placed in a glass case and the walls were just filled with shelves of these different pops. It felt like a museum to me as I looked at the different pops with little price tags placed on them if they were above the $10.00 price point. There were a few that cost below $10.00 or what they actually would be worth due to damages, wear or other things that would affect the price.Upstairs they had most of the common pops for $10.00. Both times I visited, I ended up getting some pops for my boyfriend and I hehe And I liked the fact that they throw in a pop protector when you check in. I think the downside of this company is when you try buying Mystery Boxes online. They were selling some over the weekend and released them online at noon, but I had no luck the first two days and then gave up on the third day. I guess I would try next time, but those bots and technical difficulties on my end are killer...

Bella was working the front counter when we came and she was very nice in explaining how the trade in works. This is a fun place for kids, teens and adults.

For us personally it's worth the value especially because you trade plushies.

I asked the guy in front and he said "since we changed, I don't think I can do anything." The way it was handled was poor service.

Or you don't know? He says we usually don't get anymore of something if it sells out.. so I ask him you don't have a limit on bags you sell? He said no The guy buying the bag had 2 each of multiple bags totally a reseller.. The cashier guy not sure if he's the owner or manager he was rude and so clueless. He didn't even bother to check just kinda was standing there and the guy buying the bags was just staring at his phone knowing he's a jerk trying to make a buck! Puente hills mall is pretty much a dead mall this guy should really think about being better to his potential customers! I recommend going to other collector stores stay away from this one

Normally, I only do reviews for food. However, I have to make an exception for the wonderful…read moreexperience my son and I had here. We were just going through the mall, and we noticed this place. I love sports memorabilia and my young son loves the typical action figures/POP's toys/collectible stuff. This place had a ton of both. I really enjoyed looking through all the autograph items - Kobe, Michael Jordan, Dodgers players, etc. I was told they are going to have actual players/celebrities do signings at the store. It's a really large space, it's clean, and they have tons of stuff to look at - not just limited to sports or toys. It has things for people of all ages - boys and girls. But what made this place different, was the friendly, helpful people that worked there. I really appreciated that level of customer service. It's always easy to order things online, but I enjoy seeing the toy before I buy it and talking with someone who is knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Highly recommended!

I have fond memories of back when my grandpa was able to drive and he'd take me here to buy me stationery and cuter school supplies before the start of school and would tell me to study hard or when I scourged up what little pocket change I had going through K-12 to purchase cute lead pencils and the like. Even as an adult, I would still go in here to see what cute wares they had. When Sanrio closed, this was the final bastion of kawaii goods, especially stationery. Pencil cases, pens, various different pencils, notebooks, greetings cards, plushies, erasers, planners, and much more. Blue Bear, Babu, Lovely White, and much more. This was the true nostalgia core y2k aesthetic. I loved the notebooks that were in that "greenish" tone to make it easier to study on the eyes and the random ones with random English phrases and a photo of scenery or daily life. It was even recently that Katy Perry did some photos here. These shops are a relic of the past and a world that no longer exists for us. Things were a bit pricy but it's nothing compared to the scalping and price gouging for cute core goods. There's still a couple of these left in SoCal, but now I'm sad that this one is gone.
