This is the best place for Pokemon in San Diego county, period. They host fantastic events and…read morefoster a great community, they have great inventory while keeping their prices fair (and discouraging scalpers!), and the staff is fantastic with kids (my son is nine, everyone is so welcoming and friendly). We've been coming here for a year and a half now, and it's a pleasure every time. If you're a parent and want to find cards for your kids, this should be your first pick. If you're a grandparent of a Pokémon player and want to find a great a birthday gift, this should be your first pick. If you're an adult player and want to find a strong community, this should be your first pick. And if you're a scalper looking to buy up inventory to make a quick buck, don't come here because they can see you coming from a mile away and you'll waste your time (also, just stop scalping, it's so lame).

Came here for a Pokemon event while visiting the area, after searching the Play Pokemon website…read more Service: I thought it was great. The locals tournament organizer/judge was efficient and very friendly especially to kids which I really appreciated. Staff for buying products were also friendly and helpful. For the other comment about the kid selling a card and feeling like the kid got lowballed -- I haven't seen any card shop offer 100% market price or even close for people selling cards to any LCS. 40-60% seems the norm, and IMO reasonable given the risk that the shop is taking, and the convenience for the seller. If you want full market price, go ahead and grade it with someone like PSA and then sell on TCGplayer directly yourself. Bashing the store for a typical practice just seems petty. Value: I thought it was fair. Most Pokemon sealed products were at market price and I think it's worth supporting a small business that's part of the local community, especially with all the time/effort/expense of running events. The hours on Yelp are not accurate. I would follow them on Instagram since they update that regularly with hours and event info. I think it's worth coming here, and I would definitely come back when I'm in the area again.

I'm a new Funko Pop! collector and stumbled onto this while yelping for more Funko Pop! places to…read morecheck out. What luck for me! I didn't run out of space to display my new hobby, I simply did not have anything. Display Geek is a great solution. My shipment arrived about 3 days after ordering, and it came in a flat white "Ebay" taped box. Upon opening the box, there was a flat of unassembled cardboard plus 2 other flats which were the shelves. I'm not the savviest person in building stuff but after about 15-20 minutes tinkering with the first of 3 displays, I got the kit built. The 2nd and 3rd one took a fraction of the time. Overall first impression? Not bad. Sure its cardboard, but its a display, not permanent furniture. 3 stacks of the displays comes to about 5-feet tall (I'm 4'9" btw) and fits perfects in a little nook in my bedroom. The FAQ on the website recommended using a certain screw to mount the display, but someone said they used the Command Hooks and it worked just fine. I realized even though I am a "newbie" I quickly ran out of shelf space displaying my Funko Pop toys inside the box. So I mixed it up and took some out, and turned the box sideways, while the ones that are more "rare" or I didn't want out of the box displayed perfectly facing outwards. I could squeeze 35 Funko Pop! boxes per shelf when I mixed the orientation. 3 pack cost about $75 and free shipping. I lucked out and they had a post comic-con discount code, saving me $11. Great solution if you want to display your Pop addiction.

There was a lot of room to walk around if you wanted to watch other players play. SERVICE: This is not my LGS but it was very spacious, very clean. All the workers were extremely nice! They were very knowledgeable about any plays people had questions about and kept walking around just in case. They had little snacks and drinks for sale, they were reasonably priced! OVERALL: Very cool shop, would visit again if I'm in the area or my friends ask me to go with them again!

This is one of the best game stores you can go to in San Diego, especially for fans of Magic: The Gathering, where patrons can come in to play Commander together on Mondays. The staff are some of the nicest people I know, and will always try to answer questions you have to the best of their knowledge - it's helpful that some are more proficient with some tabletop games than others as well. Prices are great and purchasing singles for my decks have never been made easier with their kiosk and well designed website. I always see the store bustling with a few souls - if not, way more than a few; which goes to show the dedicated community this store has been lucky to harbor. Go Draw Dawgs!!!
