Admittedly, I frequent here more than any other store. Sometimes for games, paint, or painting classes. Gone are the days of boring board games - I've discovered SO much variety. Don't have anyone to play with? That's fine - there's plenty of solo games. Who knew?! It looks deceptively small on the outside but huge on the inside & don't forget the basement! Everyone's extremely friendly & helpful here. I appreciate their selection & pricing - even better to support local! If you're looking to get into games, no matter what kind, stop by. You'd be hard pressed not to find something you'd enjoy.

Definitely a wider selection of inventory including cosmetics, stuffies, small toys, accessories. And of course everything is super cute!

I did not realize there was a Miniso up here! I swung by after a visit to Bambu and was not…read moredisappointed. This place is huge! I don't think I could bring my two year old here because he would definitely try walking out with half the store. There is so much to choose from -- stuffies, skincare, games, toys, and even candies! I grabbed a stuffy for my son and some Asian candies for my husband who loves trying new snacks. They were really good! The only thing of note is there was no music playing and we were the only ones shopping, so the store was eerily quiet. I almost felt like *I* had to be quiet too. Otherwise, good experience!

TLDR; amazing place and layout very affordable amazing service and has a verity of things…read more I absolutely love it here I've been here twice and I'm glad to say it's amazing I was worried due to the other reviews that said people here are transphobic and a bit weird towards women and I'm glad to say it's not like that it's nothing like that anymore Atleast They have comics, manga, graphic novels and coloring books along side of necklaces, figures and gems(although I'm not sure the authenticity of them) and other things (be careful if you bring children in though cause there are some porn comics) Everything is really well priced and today they had a 50% off stand outside with comics graphic novels and manga the avg price of the paperback comics are like 5$ and below while the softcovers can range from 30-50$(from what I saw) not sure how much the manga is while the graphic novels are around 17$ they have a 1$ section of comics and their figures are around 230-maybe 400$ it's very affordable The service was amazing when I went yesterday for some rogue comics although they ran out due to popularity they helped me find some comics where she's heavily featured in and while checking out they ask if you want a cover for the comic and they're very welcoming and friendly I love the layout they maybe a small store but it's very neat and not cluttered there's a lot of verity 100/10 would recommend

I wish there was a zero star option. Honestly, one of the worst card shops I've been to. There's…read morezero negotiating, and it feels like every card is massively overpriced. Cards I've seen elsewhere for around $8 were marked at $50, and even basic/base cards were priced around $10. The wax was also way overpriced. When I tried negotiating on a Michael Jordan card, the response was basically, We don't care, we have to pay the bills, and they made it clear they weren't interested in discussing the price. The experience itself wasn't great either. The worker was breathing so loudly that it was honestly distracting. Overall, the prices are ridiculous, there's no room to negotiate, and the customer service left a lot to be desired. I definitely wouldn't recommend this shop if you're looking for fair prices or a good card buying experience.

Unfortunately the store is extremely cramped making it difficult to navigate, my husband nor I were acknowledged while in the store, and though they have a personal policy of asking customers to use masks (per sign outside) it was not being enforced. We didn't end up spending too much time in this business because of those three things. I didn't feel that those things necessarily counted them out as having decent inventory, so I did make an effort to get a good look around while inside the shop. They do have a solid stock of collectable toys so if you don't necessarily care about space or having employees attention, this spot may be worth checking out.

Most negative reviews of the place seem to be posted by those who don't understand the fact that many of these figures are antiques, and would most probably sell for more on places like Ebay. Great value for the selection! I'd also like to mention the fact that they have practically any old childhood toy you could desire, from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Transformers 2007.
