Huge stock of gaming supplies. Games Workshop, Magic the Gathering Pokémon, DND, numerous board games, Star Wars minis. Large inventory. Phil the owner is super friendly. Play area is also very spacious. Looking forward to returning to use my store credit to get some Lord of the Rings products when the mtg set launches. They also have a smaller but also great location in Santa Clarita called Paper Hero's Comics. More comic books and collectibles but also a good amount of gaming stuff, just in a smaller scale. I've never been to their other Paper Hero's Games in Santa Monica, I believe it's as big or bigger but can't say much else about it.

I tell him I'm going to lodge a complaint against him with the owner and he says "I'm the fuckin' owner!", which was a lie, as a suspected, because he initially identified himself as the manager. l He escorts me to the door and threatens to "call the fuckin' cops." He was the rudest employee I've ever encountered anywhere.

This is a really middle of the road shop for a couple reasons. To begin with positives, the…read moreselection of back issues is great. They have some stuff that other shops in the valley don't even know about. The selection of new books is great, too. They are well organized, probably the best organization i've seen in a long time at a comic shop. The negatives: prices are way too high for what are basically reader copies, and the presence of the cats in the shop negates the concept of these being "pet free books". Many of the back issues are clearly a bed for the cats, complete with destroyed bags and boards, where the very cute cats have shredded them. Despite this shop having a good stock, the asking prices on every back issue are 2-3$ higher than what I believe is fair. In addition to that, the employees are not terribly welcoming. The gentleman running the counter was downright dismissive, I didn't even get a hello when I walked in the door and made eye contact. I didn't get a single word as I browsed the stacks for at least twenty minutes. The lady working here had a conversation with my wife about the cats, and even talked to my wife about her clothes, but neither employee engaged with me whatsoever. It felt like they thought i was there to cause trouble, even when making a purchase. In addition, this shop is guilty of one of my biggest pet peeves on the planet: not selling displayed merchandise. On the front counter, two small statues were displayed, but when I asked if they were for sale, I was told they still needed to be researched. Man, do it right now, i'm holding the money in my hand for them. In a store with no other customers, and nothing pressing happening, why would you not take two minutes to check the item price on ebay, or even better yet, decide for yourself what seems like a fair price instead of turning away a paying customer? If the item isn't for sale, take it off the sales floor. Stock is excellent, organization is excellent, prices are not good, and customer service is decidedly bad. It feels like the male employee is either suspicious of everything, or gatekeeping the hobby for some reason. I did not feel welcome here.

I went into this shop to buy a comic for my nephew and was met with some of the worst customer…read moreservice I've ever experienced. I asked about a particular comic and its variant covers. Instead of showing me what was available, the owner became hostile and condescending, insisting I needed to be more specific even though I explained I didn't know what variants existed. When I said I just wanted to see what was available for my nephew, he pushed back again, saying he had too many and didn't put them out. At that point I told him I'd just take the single comic I had in hand. On my way out, I let him know I had been ready to spend a couple hundred dollars but instead left with only a $5 purchase. His attitude literally drove me out of the store. I would not recommend doing business here. There are plenty of other comic shops in Los Angeles, not to mention online options, where you don't have to deal with this kind of attitude.

While their Winnetika location is my local shop, I always try to stop by the NoHo Collector's…read moreParadise whenever I'm in the area. The staff is beyond friendly and, even though this location is small, it has a fantastic array of comics and other collectables. Even with my pull list at their other location, I always find something I have to pick up on my quick visit. They also have fantastic signings here throughout the year so there's a good chance that you can meet either one of your favorite writers or be introduced to your next obsession. My only complaint isn't even their fault & it's the parking. Like most of this area of NoHo, it's all limited street parking with meters or you're going to have to cross your fingers that you can find something in the residential streets in the area. But honestly, it's worth it. If you live in the area and are looking for your new favorite neighborhood shop, this is it.

This is one of the most elitist comic book shops in the city. The staff are dismissive at best, and…read morethat is if they acknowledge you at all. The stock is about what you would find in any other comic shop, with the added benefit of being more expensive. I came in today, a Monday, to shop back issues, but the back issue bins were blocked, and covered in the new comics due out on Wednsday, with big signs thwt say "do not touch". I would guess this is why every other comic book shop on the planet has limited or no hours on TUESDAY to prepare Wednesday books. Either way, 25% of the store, you know the stuff collectors want, is unavailable to even shop. There are better and more hospitable shops in Burbank.

The selection for both is not stellar but they are all in excellent condition. The good condition of books might be due to their strict "no reading" policy. I understand that they don't want people pulling a Barnes & Noble by reading books for free. However, I wish I could just look at the first page before buying, so I 100% have to go by online reviews. What keeps this at 4 stars for me is the warm reception I get every time I enter the store and the friendliness at checkout.

Whether you are a serious collector or simply enjoy browsing nostalgic treasures, there is plenty to discover. There is also ample parking, and the inviting atmosphere makes it a place we would happily return to. Highly recommended for collectors and anyone looking for a fun, friendly shopping experience!

The game coaches were excellent and their professionalism, service and cleanliness were top notch. Guests absolutely loved the snow cone machine (8 flavors) and were served by the game truck team. They provided about 8 chairs for exterior gaming. On a hot day, I suggest putting up canopies for the "extras" you may order from them, plus guests (parents) who might want to hang near the truck. GameTruck: The truck/trailer needs at least 3 car lengths of space in front of a residence. Game selection was excellent across all platforms and satisfied 6yo - 14yo players. Cool mood-setting RGB lighting in the interior. Clean and excellent condition physical space and hardware. Mixed feedback from guests about the A/C but my b-day boy said he was perfectly cool. Service Acquisition: Business was conducted 100% over the phone. Told owner that my discovery and background knowledge was via Yelp. As such, service area limitation premiums $$ and travel fees were not referenced nor communicated in the procurement conversation. The business educated me about them after invoice was provided. Please ask for the distances as they differed - at the time - from the website I was told about on payment day (event day).
