    Lalabubu
    Stephen O.

    Cute collectibles turned coupon con. Stay away if you value honesty! My 6 1/2 year-old daughter, who absolutely loves Pokémon, Sanrio, and cute figurines like Lalabubu, was so excited to visit Robo Hunters. They have claw machines and vending-style crank machines filled with adorable collectibles. I gave her $5 for tokens, thinking she'd get a fun prize from one of the crank vending machines where you always get something. She picked a Lalabubu-themed machine near the clerk that cost 3 tokens and showed all the possible figurines in the window. Imagine our shock when the prize that came out was not a toy at all -- it was a plastic egg containing only a piece of paper with a 5% off coupon. Nowhere on the machine did it clearly say a coupon could be a prize, just the cute figurines behind the glass. We felt outright tricked. I explained to the clerk that this wasn't what we expected, but she dismissively said, "That's the prize, it's a blind bag," and walked away without any empathy. My daughter was heartbroken, and frankly, I was angry. We tried the claw machines next, but they barely let you reach the edges, making it nearly impossible to win anything. This felt like a bait-and-switch, a grift disguised as fun. If you want to take your kids somewhere honest and joyful, look elsewhere. Robo Hunters left us feeling ripped off and sad. We won't be coming back, and neither should you.

    Machine took my money

    Their token machine took my $20 but only dispensed 16 tokens instead of 20. When I went to the cashier for help, she refused to even walk over to the machine to see the error. Instead, she gave us attitude and handed us 15 tokens. When we counted them and pointed out that we were still missing one to make the full 20, she accused me of taking one. She also asked if I had already used tokens to get the toy in my hand. That toy actually came from a $6/6 coin vending machine from a previous $20 purchase, so the accusation made no sense. I couldn't have taken 1 token to get the toy. Rather than blaming customers, the staff should check the machines and apologize when something goes wrong. This situation could have been resolved in seconds if the cashier had simply come to the machine to verify the issue. ALSO THE $6 TOY I GOT FROM THE LITTLE VENDING MACHINE CAME DEFORMED. So over this place. For the owner's awareness: this happened between 6-7 PM on 3/8/26. The cashier was a young girl with black straight hair past the shoulders. She then moved to the back of the store where you exchange tickets for toys and another girl subbed her out.

    Service was terrible. When it came to the card section I had asked for pricing ahead of time to confirm how much it was. Everything for collectible cards was inflated 5times the amounts. I was interested in purchasing some Pokémon cards because it was original price . Who wouldn't want to buy something like this at original price? MANAGER TELLS THE WORKER to basically get the product back after I had already purchased... That is a very terrible business practice where as I have came in a few times to have already support the business. But after this encounter, it goes to show unprofessionalism/ type of business practices they show. The sign itself shows ^ Definately will not be returning back.

    Came here with friends after we stopped by 3Catea for boba! We actually wouldn't have even known about this place, or have even stopped by, if we didn't see the promo in-store that if we bought a drink we would stop by Robo-Hunters for two free tokens. We were getting boba anyway, and were curious so we thought why not. I figure it would be some sort of gaming thing? But my friend group was surprised that it was a crane game store. They also have special figure vending machines, and in general have anime/gaming figures as well as various cute merchandise for sale around the store. If you purchased a 3Catea drink, you just have to show them your receipt or beverage. Honestly, I think two free tokens is quite generous as the conversion rate is $1 per token. They also have various ways on the opposite side of the register table to get additional tokens via following their social media accounts and leaving a review. My friends and I actually had a really great time here! I shy away from crane game machines because it felt like the machines got increasingly rigged over the years. Trauma from Round1 where I spent $10 and got nothing in like 2 minutes deterred me from trying again. But my friend spent quite a bit here and won a few prizes! I actually amazingly managed to win a cute luau sandwich pig plush. The variety of prizes is actually really cool, and are of great quality. The plush I got was soft and super cute, could image paying like $15+ for it at a store. Will definitely stop by again if I'm ever in the area!

    Nice little place to spend money. They have anime collectables and other goodies for fans. The hook from the outside is the claw machines. As typical machines go, your chances of actually winning something is low. Either way, if the kids enjoy it, give it a look. Maybe, you'll win something?

    The 2 prizes my daughter won, except it cost $3.00 each. Such a waste of money. Just go to Miniso!

    The value of the games was horrible and way too expensive. Each machine cost $3 each and the claw machine was rigged. The claw machine picked up the item and last minute perked and dropped it. It did that to me twice. And the machine where you out money and twist and an egg comes out was a rip off. It was $3 each and each egg had a ridiculous prize "coupon". One was extra 20% of collectibles figure and the other was $5 off orders over $50. That was not a prize! I would stay clear from this place, they just rip you off.

    What a cute and fun place to spend money. They have a lot of claw machines for claw machine lovers. Amazing selection of blind boxes including Pop Mart, Top Toy, anime, etc. I like that they also have many Gachapon machines but the tokens are more pricey than in Japan. The place was clean and spacious with amazing prizes.

    It's an awesome, colorful, neon largish store/place. They have tons of anime, model cars, action figures, photo booths, Hello Kitty, Pokemon, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, Gundam, etc. They also sell electronic, scooter suitcases, but there is a very small collection and I don't know if they have more in the back(?). It's very lively, places to sit down and eat, tea, Ramune, etc. I think it's hours suck, but that it is pretty cool.

    A must-visit for claw machine lovers! This place has so many mini claw machines as well as regular-sized ones, and they're decently priced. It's one token per play for the mini ones and two tokens per play for the bigger ones. Each token is $1, and you can ask the front desk to give you change if you need it. The prize selection was great. They had some Sanrio themed plushie keychains as well as some Kirby ones. There were also medium-sized Sanrio plushies in the bigger claw machines. The machines had a pretty good grip and we were able to win some plushies after only a few tries. It was pretty busy inside when I went, and they seemed to be adding more machines since they just opened recently. They even had some anime figures up for sale towards the side of the store. Even though there were a lot of people, there's plenty of parking available since it's located in a fairly big plaza. They also have an online site to purchase some of the plushies or figures, which is super convenient. Overall, I really enjoyed coming here and I hope they add more machines soon!

    Front of store. Horrible Value. Money grab.
    Richard H.

    Horrible value it's two dollars per claw machine and they grip less than any other arcade you could go to. None of the employees even tried to approach us while we walked through the store.

    If you don't want to spend your money on the claw machines, i recommend the capsule toy machines instead.

We came half an hour before closing, and decided to take a little walk around the shop. The exterior is brightly lit with captivating lights and the machines itself are blinking at you, asking you to spend your money! The prices were consistent and decently priced. Since we were window shopping, we didn't ask for any support but a couple next to us did. The person at the register was very friendly and had wonderful energy! If you're finding a specific toy, this place is sure to have it. I didn't end up purchasing anything tonight since I came from the POP MART in Costa Mesa, but I know where to go when I need to!

I rearranged my schedule and made time to come back based on what your staff told me. When I arrived today, I was told they still weren't out yet. When I asked if there was anything they could do since I was specifically instructed to come back at that time, the employee at the front basically acted indifferent and just said there was nothing they could do. I've been in retail for years, and entering inventory into a system is not some massive impossible task. This honestly came across as laziness and a complete lack of concern for customer satisfaction. Don't tell customers to come back at a specific time if you're not actually prepared to follow through. Traffic and gas prices in Southern California are terrible. People are spending real time and money to come support your business, so at least be considerate of that when making promises to customers. I understand inventory processing takes time, but communication and effort matter. A simple apology or attempt to help would have gone a long way. The store is large and packed with product, but there also weren't many customers there, which makes the lack of urgency even more frustrating. The owner should seriously consider improving management and customer service standards because experiences like this are exactly why customers stop coming back.
