I truly enjoyed my shopping experience here last week for some of my granddaughters Christmas…read moregifts. I bought everything from paint supplies, science projects, musical instruments, games, beauty kits, bubbles etc. And they loved every single gift! The staff was so nice and very helpful and super courteous. I was able to find some things on sale but some stuff was a little pricey and that was okay because sometimes you have to pay for quality. I will be back!

Lakeshore is a wonderland of fun! I took my son here looking for a specific toolbox toy and I ended…read moreup leaving with so much more. Firstly, the staff was so friendly and attentive. They pointed me in the right direction when I was looking for age appropriate toys for my son. The store itself is very organized and it's easy to get around. There were so many options of toys and activities of all ages. Half of the store was also supplies and instruments for teachers. It was so fun to explore! I got my son a piano toy, a harmonica and a drill/screw toy. He loves them all! Forewarning, prices here are a little higher than what you would find near Amazon but they do have specials and sales. Plus you're supporting local! It was seriously so fun to take my son here and shop. I can't wait to return when he gets a little older to explore more of what they offer for older kiddos!

I've always passed by this store inside the Northridge mall and thought they just had collectibles,…read morebut I learned recently that they have a pretty good comic book selection. They have weekly releases on one side of the wall and back issues in boxes that are labeled and very organized. Like most places, they offer pre-orders for releases the following week with a 10% discount but I feel like their process is more convenient and personable as you can just message them through IG to put holds. Plus, they offer free bags & boards! The staff is also super helpful making the whole pre-order/hold process a breeze. My favorite part is going through their online backstock. I love how they keep their site updated so it saves me a lot of time having to sift through boxes. They carry the staples but I appreciate how they also have less popular titles. Even if you're not a fan of comic books, I'd still recommend dropping in to check out their other stuff.

I remember going to this place when it just opened up and they were mainly selling Lego figures and…read morethen other types of collectible figures and then also stickers. Of which I bought several. The staff was always friendly and attentive. Over the years, they've expanded their inventory and now have comics and Funko pops, which definitely appeal to the masses more. It is a fun shop to peruse and you'll always find something fun worth buying. Definitely a nice unique spot in the Northridge mall and I hope more people check it out and keep this mall from becoming the promenade mall or the other defunct malls over the years. Support small business!

LOVE TJL stores!…read more Always fun to pop in and see what's rotated about and the occasional sales they have, like the BOGO for many of the Bandai toys and collectibles in front. I wanted to get a few things for various toy drives I've been donating to around LA this month and made out with a great haul. The girls in the store were both super helpful and kind... Greeted me and offered to assist on the floor. I did a few laps throughout as they had so much! Including items displayed on top of other items... Almost like walking into some super collectors living room and seeing their ultimate store of accessories, charms, collectibles, cutlery, drinkware, plushies, toys, and more. I feel like the store itself used to be closer to the main mall side near Claire's and the entrance closest to Tampa Avenue / Nordoff Street a few years ago, but has shifted toward the back (might be mixing it up with another Westfield or maybe it's just been a while since I was here). Being such a popular chain store, they'd do well anywhere in the mall. However, it felt like a mission to locate it. And there wasn't much around it with a vacant former department store being next to it on the 1st level. If not for the sale, I'd have spent way more. Definitely on the pricer side compared to other places, but I appreciate the physical experience here as you can't come across everything they carry online or their own website. Feels a little more neighborhood-esque with the printed and handwritten signs. Definitely welcome and an easy shopping experience overall.

I've been here 2x within a month to buy single Pokemon cards. My first time experience, the two…read moredudes working were helpful let me check out cards told me to get closer to the glass wall with their high price cards for a better look if I needed to, let me compare cards for the better of the 2 cards. 2nd visit today was amazing I was looking to fill in my 151 master set with some reverse holos and Ex's( I had already been to another shop with no luck and not a great experience) once 151 got really popular I stopped buying packs and started collecting singles. The tall guy working today made my day by letting me go through a binder of 151 unfinished master set to help complete mine it literally had everything I needed ! I also picked up some full art cards. I highly recommend checking this place out. Sealed Pokemon product is a bit high(but all the card shops are honestly ) but all the single cards are priced fair from tcg price guide. They have awesome vintage toys, rare finds and modern collectibles as well. It's fun to walk around and see what they have.

I found parking just fine where this store is because it's in a big plaza with a lot of parking spots. When I walked inside the store, a worker greeted me right away. I went straight to look at their balloon selection. They had some nice one but not that many. After looking at the balloons, I went to look at their candy selection. The price for the candies here are unbeatable. They have a lot of selection so you'll likely find something you like. If you go toward the back of the store then you'll find more stuff. I was surprise to see that they sell car dash cam here even though I would never recommend someone to buy that from here. They also had keyboard and mouse too which everyone should know to never buy those things from here. The store is set up perfectly and have a lot of stuff inside. The customer service here is great and you'll likely find different workers inside the store while shopping.

Store kept otherwise clean although some areas needed some tidying up. I love these type of stores because they carry a little bit of everything so it is very tempting. You can find party event accessories, kids' toys, books, crossword puzzles, pet supplies, clothing and some foot gear such as sandals, their versions of "crocs" etc. You can easily get lost in the store while browsing around. There are also beauty products, skin care, makeup, accessories and more. Self-check outs are popular amongst all five below stores, but there is always someone on the floor guiding you. Overall, a nice experience for visiting last minute.

I have tried different phone car tripods, but I do end up dissatisfied from the quality of them. I guess it makes sense for the price you pay them at. It's also pretty ideal for candy trips, cheap tshirts for adults and nieces or nephews. I can imagine Five Below coming through for emergency buys for travel essentials!!! They have a good spread of shampoos, deodorants, soap, wipes, brushes etc. There's even a ton of snacks and drinks to buy and for party planning you can come here too with balloons, gift wraps, boxes, etc. - easy self checkout area, with staff able to assist but they close like 3 registers and leave only 2 open even if there's a long line!!! - lots of parking but can be in a busy lot due to nearby businesses

Upon entering I noticed many toys and trinkets so I thought it's more like a store to buy things for the kids, however then I found an aisle dedicated to working out and all the stuff there was really nice. I mean I'm a girl and pink stuff is cute, and they had pink weights and things like that. Honestly, if I need a new yoga mat, or weights, or even a weighted vest, they have some nice options there. They also have a small area for hair accessories, and a couple aisles full of very nice looking art supplies, and then a giant area full of candy. I found some cute care bears stickers for me and a pack of balls for my dogs. Overall looks like a cute place to stop by for something affordable for a kid's birthday.

They also have a lot of signing events, which is pretty cool! Really appreciate that they have a very welcoming atmosphere.

Collector's Paradise is the complete opposite. Layout is nice and spacious giving room to browse. The sections by author took me a while to get used to. Good selection and I love that authors randomly drop in and sign copies (and the store sells them at face value).
