    Nice and clean in here with lots of table space. I like to come here with my friends to stare at cards and browse the board games. The staff here is really nice, and they're just as enthusiastic as my friends and I about the series they carry here! It's the only place I know that carries and cares about Cookie Run cards!

    I visited Kingslayer on 09/15/2025 while hunting for One Piece cards. They didn't have blisters or booster boxes that day, but I was impressed with their variety of starter decks. Beyond One Piece, they also carry a wide range of games: Magic: The Gathering, Lorcana, Pokémon (Japanese), Warhammer, Union Arena, plus a small selection of board games you can actually sit down and play in-store. Their website also offers even more if you're browsing from home. When I walked in, the place was absolutely packed -- they were hosting a card night for Yu-Gi-Oh! and Lorcana. At first, I was intimidated (I'm a bit shy), but the energy was fun, and everyone there was friendly. They also sell snacks, which makes it a great hangout spot if you're planning to stay for matches. Heads up: the shop is moving locations soon. I didn't get the exact new address, but it's just down the street. From the poster, it looks like the new space will have more room for players and extra bathrooms, which will definitely be an upgrade. What stood out most to me was the staff. Despite how busy the store was, they were welcoming and patient. I had two main interactions: first with a gentleman who explained the step-by-step process for selling cards (currently only English OPTCG). The system is straightforward: you list what you're selling on their website, they reach out, you bring the cards in, and within 24-48 hours they'll make you an offer. Then I spoke with Nat, who went above and beyond. I mentioned that I was a collector who was new to playing, and they took the time to explain every One Piece starter deck available, answering all my follow-up questions without rushing me. I left with the Buggy and Ace & Edward Newgate decks thanks to their guidance. Nat also told me about their 1:1 teaching sessions for beginners -- they're very accommodating to your schedule, making it super easy to get started. I already signed up for my first session! For OPTCG, they have 3 well versed players! Nat was telling me how one of them even went to regionals! How cool is that!? Overall, Kingslayer is a gem for both collectors and players. Whether you're a seasoned card gamer or brand new like me, you'll feel supported here. I'll definitely be back -- and not just because I'm excited for my first OPTCG lesson.

    Service!

    I called yesterday asking if they're open for the holidays and they were today, but even though Yelp said they open at 11 AM, they actually opened at 10! Right as I entered the door, I was greeted by a kind HI WELCOME! There's a first little room with budget board games that you can purchase or play which I definitely would've loved to be able to spend some time. There are playing the last of us or Dune, but I was on a mission to get some pokemon cards for a friends birthday. There's a huge selection from Pokémon to Magic gathering to other animes that you watch. All the all the staff was absolutely friendly and helpful. I was able to pick up some singles and be on my merry way. Overall I had a wonderful experience here. If I ever need to come back for some cards or any games this is the place to go to! Thank you so much Kingslayer Games!

He was trying to be cool but he acted as if the dust on my old Playstation was an act of chemical warfare. He just constantly belittled my friend and I and when it came to pay, he asked if it's credit or debit. When I said debit, he acted surprised like I couldn't afford it. Some time later, my friend and I put an order in for two games, saying it was in stock there. Instead, our order got cancelled last minute. This ain't my first rodeo. Another nearby Gamestop gives you 3 days (it had not been 3 days) and gives you a call if their stock is incorrect (no call). This Gamestop is either lazy or incompetent. Either way, it helped me realize that Gamestop doesn't need my business. My gaming money can go literally anywhere else.

Out of the 2 locations I've been to, this has a better parking lot as well. Since the store is a lot bigger, that means a lot more selection of figures, books, manga, videos and more. In general, I do enjoy this store as it has great value. I found quite a few things that were quite cheaper here than if you go to a large retail store. If you have anything that you may want to get rid of (but works very well or in good shape) you can see if they're willing to it and give you an estimate. The staff are helpful to help you (the best of their ability) to find what you are looking for or need.

Lots of books, old school games, dvds, action figures or collectibles, videos and more. You could spend a lot of time in here if you are only perusing. Everything was tidy and well-organized. I think some of the of books were out of place from topics but for the most part, it was kept clean. Lot of the products and books were in pretty good condition. Some products were a little pricey for secondhand use..but nonetheless pretty cool spot. Service was alright--didn't really talk to the staff all that much and they seemed pretty busy organizing the books and shelving. The cashier that helped me didn't really give me any vibe other than he was just there to do his job which isn't a bad thing but I've definitely experienced more hospitable customer service at other book stores.

From the outside, you might wonder if you're in the right place. Open the door, though, and--alakazam!--you're immediately surrounded by comics, manga and anime books, collectible trading cards, records, gaming accessories, and enough geeky goodness to make your wallet nervous. The prices are reasonable and Marco offers discounts if you ask. The shop isn't particularly wide, but it goes back... and back... and back. It's packed to the gills with merchandise, yet they've still managed to fit in plenty of tables for people to sit down and actually play games. Longtime owner Marco is gregarious, knowledgeable, and clearly enjoys what he does. Bonus points: he plays Magic: The Gathering himself, so if you want to talk MTG, you're not just getting a sales pitch--you're talking to a fellow player. The rest of the staff is friendly and helpful too. If you're hunting for something specific or have a question, just ask. They've also thought about the necessities of an extended gaming session: chips, candy, and chilled drinks are available to keep hunger at bay while you battle your way to victory--or, in my case, potentially make a series of questionable strategic decisions. There's even a restroom in the store, which becomes increasingly important the longer those gaming sessions go. Between the comics, cards, books, records, accessories, gaming space, helpful staff, and welcoming atmosphere, Alakazam feels like much more than a place to buy stuff. It feels like a neighborhood gaming hangout. This has officially become my new favorite gaming store. Alakazam indeed!

    I had bought some items off of Alakazam's eBay store and had a great experience (I love that they…read moreoffer in store pickup to avoid shipping fees & that my wife could go pick up for me) so when it was Free Comic Book Day and I found myself in the area, I thought I would check them out. I'm so glad I did. This location is very unassuming. You might pass it without even realizing it as it's in a very nondescript office space area near the airport. But once you walk in, you can easily be overwhelmed with the sheet volume of inventory they have. It was great to see! I will say they tend to favor older issues and most of them are only semi organized in long boxes so you might have to do some flipping through to find things, but I guarantee you will be rewarded. I was able to come across several back issues that I had been looking for and some I didn't know I had been looking for. And when I asked them if they had any other variants from the series I had bought from them off eBay, they happily pulled out a long box from the back full of them that they flipped through and let me hand pick what I needed. That was some fantastic customer service. Even on a busy day like FCBD. Speaking of customer service, the two workers who were there were so incredibly friendly and helpful. From talking to my 3 young sons who were with me to chatting about what I was looking for and how I could find it. I was really impressed. I have a feeling that if it wasn't so busy, they would've walked over and searched with me just because they care that much. Honestly, if I didn't live in Los Angeles, this would become my local shop hands down. But, I can guarantee when I'm in Orange County and am looking for anything, I will absolutely be coming by to check out what they have. And, I will definitely be stopping at their eBay shop first if I'm looking for anything online. Do yourself a favor. Check out Alakazam. If you're a comic book fan, it will be worth your time. And if you're just thinking about getting in to comics, this would be a great place to start your journey.
