What a little GEM!! A very queer friendly hyge game store. They had multiple game rooms for play,…read moretables for play, and entire sections for different types of games. They had board games, solo games, rpg games, card games, any game you could think of it was there. Plus lots of gaming accessories like dice, boards, playing mats, literally everything!!! I bought a card game but am going to be back to grab more solo rpg after some research. Friendly staff as well, just what you want in a game store.

We weren't in…read morethere long, but for the short time that we were there, the owners made a big positive impression on us. They spoke directly to my children. They talked to my son about his purchase. They also gave the kids these vintage electric trains that they were so excited about. Prices were fair too. They were about the same or a little less than ordering online. But we got the perk of actually interacting with people and supporting a small business. If you need anything train related go here! We don't want to see places like this go away.

I don't see myself going to any other shops that BHH. The downside is: I CAN'T STOP BUYING KITS AND TOOLS! :) On a more serious note, I would recommend BHH to any collector, beginner or seasoned!

Although Burbank's House of Hobbies is obviously is better than most hobby shops (and for many, it…read moreis the best), it was limited for my interests (monster kit modeling, unusual kit modeling). I was interested in the shop, but found that many of the modeling kits had been sold out and never restock. Perhaps the manufacturer simply stopped producing the kits. Maybe not. Either way, I wouldn't know. All I know is that these kits are eternally out-of-stock. After a while, I simply gave up looking, and because of such, gave up interest in the shop.

Great selection of new and vintage comics. Shop is a good size for a comic store and they have your…read morenew comics on hand , whether if it's Marvel , DC, or independent comics. Of course the best time to go to make sure they have it in stock are Wednesdays. VIntage comics can be found in bins, the wall, or the front case near the register. CGC slabs are also on hand. Prices are usually on par with the market. Just ask Paul and the rest of the crew for anything you need, they're pretty knowledgeable and willing to help. Comic supplies are also available for those in need. Parking is limited to street parking and the surrounding residential area, but it's never too far a walk. Highly recommended comic shop in the Burbank area.

Although I consider myself an artist and a creative; the skillset of drawing and illustrative art…read moreeludes me. Even though I am not the one to call on when wanting to have your likeness sketched; I do appreciate the art of drawing and am drawn (pun intended) to individuals who are illustrators/artists/etc. These people, although NOT comic book nerds (I draw the line at that -another pun!) can delineate quality comic books, graphic novels and art books. My boyfriend, who is an esteemed Hollywood 3D animation artist with a long list of credits to his name (so proud of him!); is an artist inside and out and we recently followed our curiosity into House of Secrets: comic book/graphic novel/collectibles shop in Burbank. House of Secrets is a 35+ year old local business originally holding down the fort in La Canada-Flintridge before its current real estate at the corner of Olive and Lamer not far from the Warner Bros Studio lot. From the exterior, House of Secrets looks like a regular ole' storefront but it lives up to its moniker because its doors truly open to an immersive art-filled comic book store that is unlike many I have seen (not that I have been to THAT many). House of Secrets has the vibes akin to the coolest record store you can imagine with a main room filled with bins and shelves of comic books, graphic novels and other art books from rare and back copies to modern-day releases all beautifully organized and tidy making any OCD-afflicted individual (me) overjoyed. House of Secrets is a world of color and print and even supplements the actual merchandise stock with posters on the ceiling and laminated into the floor tiles. Every inch of House of Secrets is a work of art. But if that isn't enough, House of Secrets features side rooms giving it an art gallery vibe with even more comics/books plus art from local artists for sale. Frankly, House of Secrets is 'cool' even for someone like me who isn't a comic book nerd and not a part of the world of graphic novels due to it being an art paradise. House of Secrets is an experience that is interesting to check out simply for the ambiance. The customer service at House of Secrets is also top-tier as my boyfriend who knows a little more about the merch sold at the shop than I do; asked for a particular piece and the gentleman working (I am assuming one of the owners) immediately had answers and knew what he was talking about which was also reflected when overhearing him answer other customer's questions. Plus, he wasn't annoyed that we were hanging in the store near closing time! I've noticed that I often feel very uncomfortable in specialty niche stores especially if out of my hobby element but somehow felt fine at House of Secrets. They are welcoming and friendly to all who enter their threshold. I can't comment on the pricing at House of Secrets and whether they overcharge or excel in this aspect as well because I do not know enough about the products to even remotely know proper pricing. Word on the streets is that House of Secrets also holds events and author signings! House of Secrets is an incredible local Burbank business that is exceptional for comic book lovers but also 'fun' for those who may be lesser so; but appreciate art and print. Definitely check out House of Secrets when in the Burbank area!

I pass by this Sports cards store frequently and finally stopped in to check it out. It was…read moredefinitely not what I expected. You can buy sports cards, but it caters to Pokémon collectors. First of all the parking lot was full. After a few pass throughs, I was just about to leave, when a space opened up. Upon entering, I liked how the rows were laid out. I was only interested in the baseball cards, so I headed straight to that area to browse. The store was pretty packed. There was a few others in the area I was, but most were sitting around waiting for their name to be called. I guess this is all for Pokeman trading/purchasing, or maybe for other things as well. It was really hard to tell. Otherwise, there was no other employees to ask questions to. Several tables had people sorting through boxes of Pokémon cards. It was a bit overwhelming as I expected it to be more of a sports related card store, but I guess the crazy for Pokémon is bigger than the collectible sports memorabilia.

Please allow me to tell you just how good this business is…read more.. The Burbank shop has a wide selection of all kinds of singles (sports, Pokemon, One Piece, etc.) that are accurately priced. There's a large variety of sealed product, too. The staff (Nathan, Daniel, E.J., Marvin, etc.) are super-friendly, knowledgeable, and relaxed. Plus if I want to sell/trade cards, it can be done very quickly - no entering your name into a computer then waiting 20 minutes for somebody to look at your stuff. The percentages paid are generous and fair. Finally, they have extended hours so it's convenient to swing by after work or at night to score the items you want. The Glendale location is mainly manned by Sam and he is great to deal with on all levels. The selection is pretty good meaning the showcases are well-stocked. While there is no buyer in Glendale to sell your cards to, the Burbank location is close-by anyway. I have recently had a plethora of satisfying transactions at both L A Sports Cards shops and they have definitely earned my loyalty. Highly recommended!

I dropped in here for the first time this afternoon on my way home, and was transported back to a time when I bought lots of Star Wars, Star Trek, etc., toys and goodies for my son. I got a item that I know my daughter-in-law is going to enjoy for her upcoming birthday. This place is run by a husband-and-wife team, and their white Scottie dog Mickey. Whatever fantasy fun you're into, they've got it. Also, for Disney fans, they've got pins, figurines, and everything else. The owners are handing out non-expiring coupons for 10% off purchases of $50 or more. They have a 4-month layaway plan, too. So, for the kid in your life--or in you--pay a visit to this place.
