    It's a pretty fun place to visit. My fiancé and I watched the Netflix show that showcased this location so we decided to stop and check it out. It's really spendy but also serves a niche hard to find in any retail environment. If I was more into fashion I would have loved this place even more. It does does have some pretty amazing pop culture items but is totally for a certain niche crowd that is into hard to find vintage fashion. I don't make a purchase but can see why it appeals to a certain demographic.

    Ever since I saw the show Slobby's World I've wanted to drop in. I owned almost everything in the store at some point. It's a wave of nostalgia. The guy working was super cool. He noticed my 311 shirt and showed me the 311 gear they had in stock. Everything was right up my alley. Super cool place. Can't recommend it enough.

    My son and I went down to Tucson to check out the store and it was great. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Robby was at a sneaker event down the street so we got to meet him and get a picture!

    We are big fans of Slobby's World, as I am super into 80s/90s pop culture and thrifting so finding this show was incredible. My boyfriend and I binged it and joked about going to Tucson to meet everyone. We were so fortunate to be able to pop-in on our vacation and meet them! Everyone was super down to earth, the shops fucking dope, and we got some cool ass merch. Definitely worth the trip from Phoenix to Tucson!

    Love this place

    Place is fun, but I don't appreciate being helped by pretentious twats that weren't even born when this stuff existed in the 80's.

    Pretty new to Arizona. Came from Southern California which hosts Frank and Sons ( for those who do…read morenot know what that is, it is a huge warehouse of anime, collection, card vendors). Used to go there quite often to get anime figures and cards and was quite nervous moving to Tucson, until I walked into Otaku Nation. My first visit was last week, but within one week, I have visited 5 times and brought over 5 other individuals that have the same passion I have. The first day I walked in, I was greeted by the owner. It is not every store that the owner puts what he is doing down, stands up, to greet you, and ask you what you're looking for. Jeremy ( sorry if I spelled it wrong), proceeded to develop a personal relationship with me and that is the community we need to encourage. Everyday that I have gone to this store, I have walked away with something. I'm hoping we can make this small shop into something bigger, a community that drives and supports each other. I was able to get my first Digimon TCG box here for a steal compared to what other places are marking them up for. The reason for the low pricse was probably reinforced by the idea of building a group of people that will entertain playing Digimon in this store rather than making a profit. For some of these wonderful core values that this owner has, I will come by week after week to promote this store. Thank you Otaku Nation.

    There is something special and nostalgic about shopping in a record store. For me, it takes me back…read moreto the late 70s early 80s and purchasing albums, 45s and 12" LP singles. I also enjoyed listening to music being played while shopping at Zia's. This record store has been my go to for a very long time. It has a massive selection and the all employees are helpful and friendly. Honestly I think the prices are similar to other places but just know that they do not give you a refund for something you bring back. They will give you store credit or you can exchange it for something at same value. I do appreciate them taking music as a trade or credit. I had a CD from 2017 that I bought and never opened. I received some credit for it, better than it sitting in my cabinet unopened and unplayed. I also really think it is cool listening to a new album on release day. They have listening parties now! Great marketing idea! If you enjoy purchasing vinyl or any music media, visit Zia's!

    We were driving past this place and I just knew I had to go in! It was just as crazy and eclectic…read moreas I had envisioned and then some. It was soo much fun walking around and seeing all the thrift and vintage items they had. I would come here all the time if I lived close to really spend time looking around at all they have to offer because this place is huge. They even have a downstairs with more items! I didn't even notice the downstairs, but my guy did. I'm soo glad I checked it out because I found a beautiful vintage metal art piece that was perfect in my guest room! I have been looking for a main art piece to hang up for months and couldn't believe my luck!

It's more spread out and cleaner, and the vibes are fantastic. The prices are about average for an antique store. They have great selection but I wish there was more stuff and less furniture just as a personal preference. The people are super sweet and are exactly the kind of people I would want to be friends with. There is a ton of parking in front and in the back. The doors are automatic and there's an elevator and accessible bathroom so the whole building is very accessible. The really designed their new location around being inclusive to everybody and I love seeing that in Arizona. I go here every time I visit Tucson and always look forward to my next trip. Definitely give them some love and check the store out!
