I really wanted to buy so many things here but made a little purchase for myself. I bought one of the Naruto plush keychains blind box and got my favorite. The value for it was worth it.

The toy store is small in scale, located in a shared plaza with limited parking spaces. They carry…read morea variety of items, such as figures and posters from popular animations, and some random selections of blind boxes.

I've been to this plaza MANY times, but I've never walked into this store until recently. And I…read moregotta say this place is messy and disorganized. Like VERY messy LOL. I tried to go an hour after they were supposed to be open, but the door was locked. I was about to drive away until I decided to give them a call. A lady picked up and said she'd be there in 5 minutes. I read the other reviews and they were right: this lady was so nice. I didn't feel pressured or anything. She was straight up a very lovely person. BUT THE PLACE WAS SO MESSY LOL. To be fair, I walked in about 2 minutes after they unlocked the doors and the lights were still off, so maybe they haven't had time to set up anything yet. But the place looked like the inside of a shed but with collectibles and cards LOL either way, despite that, I like this place and WILL come back! I came here looking for pokemon cards. No slabs. Booster packs, yes. Singles, yes. ETBs, yes.

By far, my favorite card shop. Great for Pokemon! All the other shops have switched to other TCGs…read morebut this shop always has some. They have all the other cards as well of course. Prices have remained as reasonable as possible. (All the shops have gone up, but some have gotten very unreasonable). I've always had great service here too. This shop isn't for everyone - I get that. But in a world of scalping, condescending comments, and blatant disinterest; it's refreshing to have a place like this that allows me to continue my hobby without feeling violated by pricing or employees.

8 ball is a staple in Torrance and a testament to the importance of small businesses. They have…read morebeen around for over 20 years and I remember coming here pre-Covid for Yugioh tournaments to huge gatherings of people sharing their passion for a game. How many small businesses can say they were responsible for bringing lifelong friends together and provide people an escape to their daily lives through a positive channel? I read through some reviews and there are some people claiming that packs are being resealed, but I those are just people who are frustrated with their luck. It's disappointing to see that they are projecting their own pack addiction on the integrity of the family that are so humble and friendly. To be in business for 20 years you have to be pretty honest in your practices to survive.

It's a local treasure but I'm not sure how to plug into whatever happens at the store. I don't know…read moreif they have tournaments or any other reason why people gather there. It is a fun place, but it needs a kick start and some marketing I think. If they hosted events or even food trucks I think they would have a more vibrant business. I would love to come here when an event is happening.

Service: I have had good service here and in the past they have assisted me with special orders that was "friendly local gaming store" exclusives. Staff has always been friendly. They also have a lot of game tables in the store that groups can rent out to play their games on. When I came in there was a group playing Dungeons and Dragons, which seamed like they were having a lot of fun. Selection: Decent selection of games here but the card (Pokémon, Magic the Gathering, etc.) is the meat and bones of the Game Hub retail. The selection is good from what I understand but I am not a collectible card game enthusiast. Worth checking out if you are though. Value: The games here are standard retail price and they have a decent selection of miniatures for sale.

Comic Cult is one of those rare local shops that many kids--and now adults--can honestly say they…read moregrew up with. It's a place where you can get lost in the worlds of Batman, the Avengers, the Justice League, and countless other characters. It's also a welcoming spot for the gaming community, where people gather to play trading card games like Magic: The Gathering and Disney Lorcana. This store has been part of the community for years and is now under new management. With so few comic book stores left in Southern California, it's great to see a local shop like this still thriving. The shelves are packed with comic books, graphic novels, figurines, trading cards, collectibles, and even used DVDs, making it fun to browse no matter what you're into. The owners and staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Whether you're a longtime collector, a casual fan, or someone just getting into comics or trading card games, they make you feel welcome. It's the kind of neighborhood comic shop that's becoming harder to find, and it's well worth supporting.

They obviously have a huge selection of sports cards and memorabilia, but their Pokémon selection is surprisingly solid, too. Brought my son with me this last time since he just got hooked on Pokémon. Even though the shop was busy, the staff was attentive and didn't rush us at all. Daniel, the manager, is always incredibly helpful whenever I come in, and the team even let my son pick out a Pokemon card. Their prices are very fair, especially for Pokémon stuff. They were also handing out raffle tickets with purchases for their event giveaways, so we're definitely saving ours up and heading back for their big anniversary event on October 4th. If you collect sports or have kids getting into Pokémon, definitely check them out!
