    Rubber fish from HPR. $20/week
    Dima O.

    No reviews yet? Are you kidding me? Wow, guess I have to be the first to declare: This place is a creative person's dream! Just about any prop you can imagine (guns, fake lobsters, body parts, armor, Egyptian statues, foreign currency, paintings, fake packs of cocaine, coffins, etc. etc) is at your disposal at this rent-by-the week place! And yes, they're open to the public. Anyone with a credit card can rent! You will be amazed at the sheer size of this place: it goes on and on over two floors, with room after room to be discovered, and just when you think you're done... head outside to see more! The staff is good, friendly people. The most major down-side is that the prices are not listed up front. You've gotta pick out what you want and ring it up at the counter, praying it's not too expensive. The prices really depend on what you get, but here's a sample of the stuff I've rented: (price for 1 week rental) Metal samurai sword - $55 Rubber fish - $20 A 1/2 inch thich stack of Cuban dollars - $7 Rubber pistol - $13 Metal trick "Bang!" gun - $25 Rubber head sledgehammer - $6.50 Prop AT4 rocket launcher - $53 (I've uploaded some pics I took with these props in action if you'd want to see.) Also, I should note that apparently these are my post-discount prices as listed on the invoice (my discount ranged from 15%-30% though honestly I don't know what I did to deserve it but whatever). The parking is limited to just a handful of spots but one is usually available. If not, you can park on the residential side street.

    hole-e-bejeebus and these are rubber!

    What a lovely place. I came to the HPR looking for props, but not props to show, but props to make sounds and let me tell you that the selection here is FAN-TASMICAL if your a foley person! Very organized and reasonably priced for what they offer, shelves about 20' high and 50' long fill a warehouse in Los Angeles. They have limited parking around, but you can park across the street at the HPR Design parking lot. I only know because the guys behind the counter were nice enough to tell me, and they had refreshments. And don't be afraid to go in and grab something and take it to the counter for check out, they provide TOS of props for TV shows and Films ALL the time, so I'm sure the self help option is a relief for them. Like Dima O. says "Just about any prop you can imagine".

    I dealt with Charlie and had a horrible experience. He was rude to me when I came in, rude to me on the phone, and never responded to my emails that he told me to send to him instead of calling. He messed up my pick up date for my props and blamed it on me not telling him the correct date even though it was printed clearly on the form, which I showed him later and got no apology. Luckily, I had taken pictures of the props I wanted to rent so he was able to find them again (he had lost them when I came in to pick up). He did not care at all about my order and acted like I was inconveniencing him whenever I interacted with him. I don't know how the other employees are there (the woman who answers the reception phone is always nice when I call), but definitely avoid working with Charlie if you can help it.

    Thanks for your help Nathan and tall Latino guy

    Possibly the coolest place I've ever been in LA. They should give tours!

    Nathan, in particular, was a HUGE help but everyone else there was super laid back and friendly, too.

    This was a great thrift store for specific Western, lo-Cal vibes. With a sprinkle of military garb…read more I thought the holdings were pretty sparse. They did have great, authentic silver and turquoise. Service was unenthusiastic.

    Raggedy Threads is my favorite vintage store in L.A. - no contest. Don't let this tiny little store…read more- located in a tiny little corner of Little Tokyo - fool you: It's like a treasure trove of rare finds. I've been on a huge vintage kick lately, so this store has been my go-to source for old tees. My reasons for going vintage are primarily environmental since the carbon footprint and resources needed to make new clothes are substantial - and incredibly wasteful when there's so much awesome used clothing out there. Another reason: Your friends can't copy your style. Most recently, I picked up a few tees from the 1970s and 80s. Being in L.A. they get a lot of local and California vintage shirts with logos, designs, and jokes that only true Californians would get. I couldn't resist buying a Castroville "Giant Artichoke" tee they had over the summer. Personally, I tend to gravitate towards regional finds like these because they bring back such great memories of my youth and of family road trips up and down my home state. They also carry old college (Go Bears!), high school, and everyone's favorite - summer camp tees. Plus, you cannot beat the vintage fit from the 70s/80s. Caveat: Today's "S" is equivalent to an "M" or bigger because people were presumably thinner back then. So do your part for the environment and look effortlessly stylish doing it by shopping used and vintage! And there's no better place in L.A. for this than Raggedy Threads.
