The owner is very helpful with all of the hotwheels and knows a lot about the hobby. And the amount that he has is incredible with the 30 years of collecting and he has custom tires to help as well if you want to swap them it's free you just pay for the tires. This is an amazing store for first time and long time buyers with the sheer knowledge that he has in his collection and the hobby. read more

This place is amazing! If you are in search of any hot wheels, die-cast cars, or just want to see an interesting shop with the most amount of hot wheels/matchbox cars you've ever seen in your life, this is the place to go to. The owner was really nice and helped us find a few specific cars we were looking for. I love it when you can hear people who really love their hobbies and there was another customer in there who was super excited about a specific car that the owner had found for him - I got excited just listening to them! We left having just bought 2 cars since my kid was too overwhelmed by the choices but I can see an older kid wanting everything - beware if you are a parent that wasn't going to spend a ton. That being said, the specialty/collectors items are probably pricier but the ones we bought were under $4. Not too shabby for when you want something specific. read more

This shop is insanely cool!!!!! There must be tens of thousands of vehicles here!!! You can find new cars as well as older ones! Trust me when I say you will want and need to spend hours here to find hidden gems! I spent 2 hours here and had not even looked through ¼ of the store. I bought some classic cars and some CarTuned vehicles. I plan on coming back soon. Wish I lived closer! The owner is really nice and will help you find it if you're looking for something in particular. He also prices fairly and I appreciate that. Fair warning, there is no restroom here, so go before you come, because you will not want to leave this place!!! I could not believe how many vehicles I was looking at! This place is truly a dream if you are seeking to collect Hotwheels, Matchbox, and more. read more

Brought my car obsessed 5 year old here to pick out a few cars for his birthday and he was absolutely thrilled. The store is packed to the brim with seemingly every car you can think of. My son was in awe. "Mommy why are there soooo many cars?" He likes larger scale cars, and while they definitely have more hot wheel selection there were plenty of bigger cars to choose from as well. There were a few other customers in the store during our visit who were clearly more knowledgeable than we were, but the person helping us (possibly the owner?) was still incredibly helpful and attentive and didn't make us feel less important just because we weren't big collectors. Pricing is very reasonable. I like supporting small businesses and while I don't mind paying a little more to shop local, honestly the prices here were just as good, if not better than when I order things online. He even threw in a few freebies for us at the end. We don't live in the area, but we'll definitely be back at this store when we do visit. My kiddo already has his wishlist for the next birthday! read more

This is a great store, truly one of a kind. The selection is so vast and covers decades of Hot Wheels models. My grandsons both have visited this store since they were babies. Manny is so knowledgeable of all things Hit Wheels. read more

Amazing store, small by the size but GINORMOUS by the inventory: probably tens of thousands of die cast cars. The owner and his employee are very nice and welcoming. You can probably find any model you want. From the latest Hotwheel or M2 to old Matchbox from the 70's. I didnt have much time but found 3 gems. I'll definitely come back. When you buy several, boss give you a good price. This store is well worth the trip if you are in LA or Orange county. read more

We were visiting King Richard's Antique next door and stumbled across this place by accident. I never knew a place like this existed and we were very pleasantly surprised. My 4 year old son loves Hot Wheels so when we went inside and he saw all their cars, he was in heaven. We aren't collectors, although this store seems like it was packed with people who are collectors since most of their cars catered to those who have a lot more knowledge about this stuff, but when I asked for their cheaper Hot Wheels for our son, he showed us several ones that were only $1. We were really happy with this since we know we can get them at Target or Walmart for around $1.50, so getting some for cheaper than they sell at the big box stores was nice. Anyway, the person who helped us (I think he was the owner), was really nice helped us find some that we could afford. If we're ever in the area, we'll definitely come back. And if you're into die cast cars, this is your spot to check out. read more

They have a vast selection of collectibles. Sent one of my students and he loved it.

This place had so many options of hotwheels to choose from. I had a stack of hotwheels, but then I found out they were about $4 or more a piece, so I had to put some away. There was just one person working, he was nice. read more

This place is very freaking awesome! My dad introduced me to this place a couple years ago and I loved it! I have gotten most of my car collection from this place! They also have A LOT of inventory ranging from mainlines to RLC! I really do recommend this place if you want to find something very specific. the owner is fair with his prices. which I appreciate very much! Overall, very amazing place! read more

The nicest people. Very friendly. Excellent customer service. They literally have any type of miniature car you may want. You have to have some time to look to really appreciate the selection they offer. It's nearly impossible to find cars at the big stores. But you will not have any trouble at Playdays. They have old and new items. read more

This place is amazing! If your looking for anything Hotwheels, Matchbox or just cars in general, this place will blow you away! It's got a little bit of everything for everyone! I've met some pretty interesting people there who have all kinds of stories, recommendations and knowledge of what each car has as a back story. I want to give a big "You the Man" to Manny. Even though he had other things to do, he spent the time to look for my favorite car and I was floored when he found it and in my favorite color too! He is such a awesome person and I will never forget him. He made my day! The prices are very low and exact like you would buy it off the shelf. I had a blast meeting new people, getting to know the store owner and will definitely come back again! Thank you Manny again for making this trip worth while and I hope to see you soon!

Went with my 19 year old son for Father's Day. He has rekindled his love for Hot Wheels/Die Cast cars he had when he was a kid and now is a collector. Great place! AMAZING Hot Wheels/Die Cast collectible store! Manny is incredibly friendly and really cares about his customers. Great, we'll-stocked store with a great variety of collectibles! It's a great find, and a great place to find the collectibles you are looking for! read more

Manny is a great collector/seller/trader and even though some people might say things like the cars are everywhere: (like a bum that wrote crap in the comments talking about how everything was everywhere..) THINGS MAKE SENSE. Just ask around and they'll direct you to what kind of collectibles you are looking for. They have anywhere from first editions to new releases so most likely you'll find something that you like or will want to collect. They have from hot wheels to Johnny lightnings, matchboxes, M2's, and etc... If you want a better deal I'd suggest bringing cash and bring $20 or more because every time I go I personally spend around $20+. Of course on amazing collectibles and pieces I myself am seeing for the first time or have to get cause it's a bada** classic! Well anyhow, if you still don't wanna take my word for it. Go check it out on your own! I bet you will come out amazed! Thanks for all the years of service and for the great things you do for our community Manny! read more

What more can you ask for PLAYDAYCOLLECTIBLES has it all!!!!!!!!! Friendly staff 1/64-1/24 size cars, tires and rims to customize, classic to new modern cars, Manny is awesome very friendly I'm coming back for sure!!!! read more

I collect Hotwheels for my kid. The is a great place to come too of your kid has everything. I think his name is Manny. Nice friendly guy. His collection is unbelievable. It's not just cars. Loads more. Not just for collectors. I have seen many parents buying their kids things in there too. If he had prices on every car. I'd probably buy hundreds for my kid who already has around 8000 opened. And a huge unopened collection. Would maybe take him 20 years to price them as he has so many. Parking is really easy too. There's a parking lot. And you can park on the street. I brought a friend twice. You gotta see this place. read more

This might be one of the best diecast car shops in the area or in Southern California!!! He has a lot of new stuff and old releases as well, Anything from 1:64 scale to 1:18 scale and more! The location is a bit hidden, but definitely worth shopping here. The pricing is really reasonable compared to the current market. Thanks for helping me build my collection!! I will keep coming back for more. read more

Can't say enough about this place. I took my 6 yr old son and 8 and 7 yr old nephews. When they walked in, they literally said "is this a dream?" They were blown away by the selections. They could've spent hours in there. With a fixed budget in mind, they were able to pick several cars that were very reasonably priced. Going to a big box store maybe cheaper but you don't get the selection or experience at all. Manny helped us through the whole experience and elevated it so much with his friendly demeanor, and knowledgeable explanations of each car the kids picked which made them feel like they had the most special cars in the world. Completely recommend and can't wait to return. Thank you! read more

This place it's full of model cars. If you have a car that is the least bit interesting it is probably going to be there. It's a very tight squeeze though because those cars are everywhere. read more

Good place for hot wheels. Base hot wheels $2 for one. It is better to go to target and find em and saved a lot of time. read more

Was looking for a store that sells Hot Wheels and found this through Yelp. The owner Manny was very nice and gave us a lot of info on Hot Wheels conventions, collecting etc. My son was in heaven, only spent about an hour but could easily spend a weekend looking through all of the cars. We try to find good Hot Wheels off the pegs in stores, but in San Diego everyone picks the good ones Looking forward in coming back to visit again! read more

I'd post a photo but it's not necessary. This place is great. I'm not very knowledgeable about how or why these things are priced, but playdays is a must go to place as the knowledge of hot wheels by the owner and others is impressive. I take my son here occasionally, which sure beats dealing with all the insane mark-ups over at Frank & Sons! read more

Really cool store for hot wheels fans. The owner is really nice and welcoming. looking forward to going back soon.

This place is amazing! Bunch of hot wheels to look through. I ended up buying $40 worth of Hot Wheels and the owner was nice enough to give my son a 5 pack for free. Really nice of him, great place! I'll be back real soon!!! read more
