I stopped by Toys of the Universe in Torrance today and unfortunately had a really uncomfortable…read moreexperience. When I first walked in, a staff member greeted me and I started browsing on my own. While I was looking around, someone in the shop (I'm not sure if they were a customer or a friend of the staff) loudly made a comment along the lines of "look at this nerd pretending to look at stuff," clearly so others in the store could hear. I was just minding my own business and browsing like anyone else would. It was embarrassing and honestly made the experience pretty unpleasant. I was already having a rough day, and that interaction made it worse. Because of that, I most likely won't be returning. It's a shame, because the store seemed like it had some cool items, but no one should feel mocked just for looking around in a shop.

My daughter and I stumbled across this on the 1st floor of the South Bay Galleria. We were curious…read morewhat the ride/motor scooter things were in front of the store. They looked really neat with fun designs. One was a large robot almost like a transformer that the kids can rent to ride in. They are only able to use them in front of the store, with an adult. $10 for 15 minutes. My daughter really enjoyed herself. The store isn't super large. Yet there are lots of fun toys and gadgets. The toy bouquets really caught my eye. Great gifts with various price options starting around $28 and goes up there. They do sell mini motorcycles and have a virtual reality bike ride in the shop to play.

I recently visited Gashapon Bandai Official Shop in Torrance and had a really fun experience. The…read moreshop is packed with rows of capsule toy machines featuring popular anime, manga, gaming, and Japanese character merchandise. Very reminiscent of my recent trip to Japan. The atmosphere was exciting and nostalgic, especially for collectors and anime fans. The store was clean, organized, and easy to browse. Some of the most popular items that I found here included Dragon Ball, Pokémon, and Sanrio just to name a few. There were also miniature food keychains and cute animal figures. You have to be careful here as once you start a collection it can be pricey to complete your collection as you don't know what you will get with very token and capsule toy spin. Every machine had something unique and it was hard to leave with just one capsule. I ended up getting a Sanrio one and a Pokémon capsule toy. I am just disappointed in the pricing of these capsule toys. I understand that when I was in Japan I only paid at most $4 for a capsule toy but here, the range varies and can go up to $12. Yikes! Overall, service was good. Staff members were friendly and helpful when I had questions about the machines or needed assistance with tokens and exchanges.

My youngest was so excited to visit this specialty store -- we arrived full of anticipation. We…read morepatiently waited while the only available employee finished helping another customer, which was completely understandable. When it was our turn, my son asked about the LEGO sets he had brought in and whether there was any trade-in value for them. However, before the employee could respond, another customer walked in and the two began chatting in Spanish. The conversation continued for a good two minutes, with no acknowledgment of my son or the fact that we had been waiting. For a child who was genuinely excited about this visit, being overlooked like that was really disheartening -- and honestly, it was frustrating for me as well. We left without getting any help. We truly wanted to support this local business, and I hope this feedback is taken constructively. As it stands, though, it's unlikely we'll return.
