I really wanted to take a little bit of time to drop some love for Alex, Andy, and Deshawn over at…read morethe Hyper Sonic shop. I'm a little disappointed with myself that I was not aware of this shop in all this time I've resided in Tacoma. They have a neat interesting variety of toys and video games. This review is going to focus on my interaction with Alex and Alex from a seller's standpoint. I have a fair amount of collectibles and there were a couple action figures I was looking to (reluctantly) unload (a 1983 Inspector Gadget doll and a NECA Ada Wong to be exact). I had looked online and consulted various other stores in the area and the few offers I had received were far from fair. I'm happy to report that Alex and Andy knew the market and what my items were going for online. We even looked them up together. We had some obligatory endearing haggling and in the end they offered me a fair price for my beloved items. They were the only store that I had spoken with in the local area that were not only fair in their evaluation but even in the same league as the market value. They even appreciated the items as much as I did so I knew they would end up in a good home. Again, I only wished I knew about them sooner. I will definitely keep them in mind for the future when I inevitably decide to sell some cherished childhood treasures. Cheers, guys.

I was back down in my old stomping grounds of Lakewood due to work and wanted to see if there were…read moreany local retro game stores nearby - lucky for me this shop popped up on my maps and was less than 10 mins away. I didn't know what to expect but was super surprised by how much cool stuff the store had! I was looking for a gameboy game but ended up finding about 10 things I wanted to buy on my next visit. They had tons of old toys that I used to have or have been wanting to get from pretty niche series like Monsieur Bome, Masamune Shirow figures, and even my old favorite army vehicles from Mega Force. The owner was playing Pokemon on the big screen when I walked in but was super helpful and friendly. I am definitely a fan of this place and will stop by any chance I can get when I'm down in the area.

Let me start this review by saying I ABSOLUTELY love this place, I go here all the time. I use it…read moreover gamestop. They have a pretty nice staff team, which is always nice. They have a great selection of new/used retro and modern consoles. And even bin of "As-is" consoles and gadgets which is why I keep coming back so much! But I felt incredibly inclined to make this review for 1 particular reason because it's something that needs to be acknowledged and I hope someone in the company sees this so they're aware and can help correct this issue. The quality control absolutely sucks here, I've purchased 2 items now this week where they were defective/didn't work. Now I understand buying pre owned you are more at risk for defects or damage. HOWEVER, I shouldn't be paying $40+ for a used PS4 controller with dirt and Cheeto marks on the outer shell. Takes 2 seconds to wipe that off for a paying customer. Secondly, I get home after purchasing this controller. Plug it in and it's drifting like crazy, just scrolls and scrolls and scrolls. It's like the staff team just accepted it from the previous owner and threw it on a shelf for the next lucky person to deal with it. A few days prior I bought a PS1 game from this store, excitedly got home to turn on my console and fire the game up to find out the game was damaged beyond repair. It would boot to the loading screen and that's it. Now, I know I should've checked this prior to leaving so I'll take that loss. BUT, they should be aware of what they are selling to the paying patrons of the store. I should not have to double check/do their work for them. I should be rest assured I'm getting quality used items/games from this store. If you own this company or you work for this company, please do us all a favor and pay more attention to the quality control of your items. If this happens to me again I'll be forced to stop supporting your business. These are incredibly easy things to fix. I shouldn't be going out of my way to consistently bring back defective items. It takes a few minutes to assure these items are working when put out on a shelve for a premium cost such as the $49 used PS4 controller. If this gets acknowledged I will adjust the current rating. This has been replied to and addressed: changed review from 3 stars to 5.

Besides used items, they stocked new third party accessories, soundtrack albums, and gaming related items like toys. Prices are comparable to others locally and online. I found certain used accessories to be less expensive than online comps and picked up an Xbox controller headset adapter yesterday at a good price. I enjoy that both stores have mini gaming museums. My only negative is the large amount of games without original packaging on the shelves. A couple of sections were a sea of white with hand written names. It feels like a lot of filler and not a pleasant browsing experience.
