Not a huge fan of their $9.95 shipping charge but since…read moreI am in the Bay Area, I receive my orders within a couple of days as they usually ship the day after I order. Good help on the phone when I have questions. I once placed orders with Newtype and USA Gundam store on the same day and I received my order from Newtype before USA had even shipped.

Newtype has a great selection of kits and building supplies! One thing to note about this business…read moreis that even thought they have their warehouse address listed here, they are not a walk-in business. The way it works is, you visit their website first and place an order there. You can choose whether to have your order delivered or pick it up yourself from their warehouse. I buy from them often. If you place an order for pickup early enough in the day, they may have it ready on the same day. Otherwise it'll be ready by the next day except for they don't do pick ups on weekends. So if you order Friday afternoon then you'll most likely have to wait until the following Monday. I live fairly close to their new location so I can avoid the delivery fee and just go pick it up myself. They also almost always have items on sale, I would definitely recommend checking them out!

I've been to the store in San Mateo many times and I finally made it to the big store! Note that…read morethe location is a bit odd - it's in an industrial park and signage is very minimal and easy to miss. Google Maps led us to the back of the store so you may need to go around. The store is pretty large and has a lot of keychains, plushies, figurines, Gundam Gunpla, and blind boxes (my kryptonite). I got a Nendoroid blind box (!) of Fate Stay Night. These figures are way more expensive than normal blind boxes but Nendoroids are always very high quality so it's fine! I saw a lot of figures that were really cool and I would consider getting them if I had a good display mechanism at my house haha. They even had MY BOY Heero Yuy from Gundam Wing which is quite rare to see merchandise of!

This is a hidden gem tucked away in a business and industrial park. The staff is incredibly…read morefriendly and knowledgeable, and the store carries almost everything you could need for scale modeling, from model kits to a wide variety of tools and accessories. The only exception is paint, which may need to be specially ordered. If you're looking for high-quality figure models or collectible statues, you'll find some very reasonable prices here. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who loves model building, collectible figures, or creating and painting their own character statues. 這是一家被隱藏在一個公司和工業園區的寶藏模型店，裡面的人服務非常好，不管是模型還是製作模型的相關工具，這家店應有盡有，唯獨在漆料上面，店家需要額外預定。不過要是說到精緻的人體公仔和手辦，這裡的價格非常實惠，強力推薦給喜歡模型公仔和喜歡自己創作人形手辦的愛好者。

I randomly saw the low profile page from TikTok and some of its videos? So I decided to come by…read moresince I'm a casual fan of ZZZ. The location itself was a little tricky to spot since there are no guides or labels outside? They just have a single stand saying the times? Which means they are betting on fans to just come on by and no local interactions like most firms Addressing the inside, it's just a small simple place. Room for events on the bottom if people are into those, and a well organized store on the top? They have official merchandise of various games featuring ZZZ. The prices here are direct and fair so there isn't any price gouging like what is usually seen at Anime Conventions? Plus they have a mini point system based on purchases, I'm eager to see what else can be done with it? At the moment, I am certain this is the only or one of the very few locations to buy this kind of merchandise ( Excluding Conventions ). It must also be mentioned this isn't an Anime goods area, it caters to cultured gamers of specific titles? Just a fun small place to get your official goods of specific "titles."

I'll say it again and again. I always love it when business owners are enthusiasts and lovers of…read morewhat they do, especially if it's something somewhat more "niched" such as an anime/hobby shop. To see the owners here being BIG BIG fans of the titles that they carry is truly heartwarming and shows the dedication that they have for what they do and for what they do for their patrons. Not only is this an anime shop, but the downstairs area is used for community and fandom themed events! LOVE this. It's always amazing when there is a space dedicated for fans to convene together and share the things that they love. When I visited last winter, the space was dedicated to Tears of Themis and each "section" was decorated, curated, and themed very carefully to each male love interest which shows not only dedicated effort, but the fact that the people who set it up are familiar with the series. Cannot get better than that. AND I HAVE TO SAY, even though the shop is only the second floor, it is HANDS DOWN the LARGEST selection and variety of HoYoverse and YoStar series goods that I have seen in SoCal. Hell, might even be a bigger selection than if you combined SoraGumi, Sakura Anime Toys, Anime Station, Animate, etc. There were SO MANY Arknights good it was insane. Some of them were event limited items too. They had these huge acrylics of the characters and artbooks and so many more than I have seen elsewhere. It was also blind boxes galore for character tags, keychains (some blind box series were for only ONE character- it was W here which is a huge W), and much more like stickers and plushies. Stickers I haven't seen elsewhere and plushies in limited stock at other shops. If you are into any of the HoYoverse series such as Genshin, Honkai, Zenless Zone Zero etc. There is rows and rows of merchandise for that including and not limited to stickers, keychains, acrylics, plushies, accessories, bags, and so much more. They also had the biggest collection of Tears of Themis items too. I usually only see ToT stuff at most be acrylic stands, some stationary, keychains, and maybe a plushie or a perfume thing, but they had WAY more here, including birthday boxes for each of the boys, blankets, calendars, albums, cheki storage and so much more. Additionally, hands down, the MOST Azur Lane merchandise I have seen for sale physically in person too. And a note to add, the owners were such big fans they made the trek to SoCal to go to the maid cafe collab event? If that's not a showing of their dedication and love for what they do, I'm not sure what is. But back to the review, they had stuff I haven't seen before such as blankets, calendars, and drinkware. Other series that they have available are Wuthering Waves, Infinity Nikki, and for all you GIRLIES OUT THERE, LOVE AND DEEP SPACE! They even recently had a LaDS (cat boy??) themed event there too, complete with cardboard cut outs for photos. They also do preorders for goods too, which is very nice. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of these series but it is DEFINITELY worth a stop if you are in the Bay Area.

if you're into playing with legos or collecting legos, this is a must-go-to in the bay area. i went…read morehere with my sister in the afternoon and wow i've never had three hours pass by so quickly in my life. they have so many bricks there. i was able to literally start a custom-built airplane with all the types of pieces that they had in the store, in both their sorted as well as their bulk. they also have tons of pre-made sets already and they have sets that are sorted and they have sets in bags that maybe are incomplete as well at a lower price. i feel like the prices are generally very reasonable. i also got a cool little lightsaber piece for $1. that was cool. they make everything very reasonable in terms of price and very compelling to buy. i would consider it a landmark for any lego enthusiast and i will definitely be back. the staff are also very very helpful. if you need a specific piece, they're generally familiar enough with all the pieces they have to where they'll know whether or not they have a piece. there is also a team of them so there is always plenty of help and they are also very nice too. i was the last one in the store and they let me stay for a few more minutes after closing just to wrap up my lego project and pay

I called the store one day to ask if they took in opened boxed Legos for cash. The person on the…read moreother end said yes, to which I asked if there was anything else needed and they told me the instruction manual, if I had it, which I did. I asked one more question, which I believe was the most important one, is there anything I should do before I come in and they said no. Ultimately I took apart the Lego set, thinking it would be easier for them, plus no one I know would want a Lego set that's already put together. Where's the fun in that? Overnight I took apart the set and bagged everything according to the manuals. I think I did a pretty good job at doing all of that for them. The following day I went in and informed the person at the counter that I had called about trading in a Lego set for cash. I proceeded to show them the bags and manuals for the set. The guy behind the counter gave me a blank stare and looked at the bags and threw out a number. It wasn't a fair price, their reasoning behind it was the set was not put together, and how were they to know if it was the correct set and if all the parts were there. Furthermore, they stated that if I brought it in put together, the cash back would've been a little higher. Still not a fair price. He gave me the bags back and said I could go home put it back together and come back later. I just gave up. I sold it as is. In all honesty, I shouldn't have, but I lost my job prior to this interaction and I needed the money. Honestly, if you have Legos that you're trying to sell, just hold out and sell them on your own. Go to different toy stores, look up local toy groups, or trade events. It's not worth going here.

Not many people came here when I visited but probably because it's during a Monday rush hour I guess. There's not much that they seem to sell here but to be fair, they just opened last year. They might expand in a few years if their business is going well. If you're shopping for video games, then this isn't really a right shop since most of the products are cards and other card related products. I don't play card games, but this is really good if people are into this hobby. They also have tabletop gaming where there are several tables and seats probably where visitors can play cards? Not really familiar with how it works but I've been going to other stores like this and there would be groups of people playing cards together in those tables. Yet, not many people when I visited since it's Monday today.
