Service was among first time here and they helped me out so much with increasing my PS3 collection came with my buddy he got some sick trading cards and I got some games defiantly will come back again one the cleanest organized shops I ever been too and the atmosphere is chill will come back again fershure ask for Aaron he will bless you up!

Broke disc

Just bought 4 games today and this one is broke and won't read. My fault for not checking what is frustrating is I gave the guy the empty cases and the guy helping said "ok let me grab this and check and make sure they are all good before you buy them" guess not

Fixed Dreamcast with replacement clock battery mod.

Been to this shop few times. The staff is friendly, personable, and professional. They have a good variety of common and rare games. Overall the last few visits I've gotten some banger common games like Lord of the Rings Return of the King at a reasonable price. I've also gotten some repairs done for my Dreamcast when no other repair or retro shops in the area would take the job. It was done very quickly, same day when reviews of other shops would be weeks. Overall this shop feels like it's run by legit honest people, in a time where many more retro shops are looking to over charge post pandemic/video game grading bubble. They also have Instagram where they update with their latest stock and various skits.

Do you offer game disk resurfacing to fix scratches on wii games?

Yes, depending on the severity of the scratches it might need a cleaning or resurfacing which we can do here. It is $3 a disc.

Would you purchase a Wii console?

Currently we are overstocked on Wii systems and are passing on the systems until we sell some of the stock we have. If you have any games and controllers you can definitely bring them in to receive some value. Feel free to check back in a couple… 

Do you sell new releases before street date?

No we don't. Sorry.

Do you have anything for Skylanders?

Sorry but we do not unfortunately

This store does not do repairs or hardware mods.

Do you do refunds just wondering?

We do exchanges, but no refunds.

Do you repair switch games and if so how much does it cost?

We do not. You're best bet is to call or log onto Nintendo's Website and get a quote or see if it is under warranty.

Do you repair consoles?

We do not. Sorry

Do you purchase Super Nintendo games?

Yes we do. In fact, we are paying 20% more for Super Nintendo and N64 games right now. Lawrence

Do you have Nintendo switch right now?

No, I sure don't. Sorry!

Do you guys sell Classic Edition NES systems or the original NES?

I don't have either. I still carry the NES, but I am out of stock and the NES Calssic Mini has been gone for quite a while.

Do you sell power cords for consoles? I need a power supply cord for a Sony PlayStation 2 Slim.

Yes we do. The power supply and cord is $19.99. If you have the slim that uses just a cord, it's $6.99

Do you provide Xbox one controller repair, specifically joystick repair?

We do not do repairs Nate. Sorry

Do you guys fix xbox one?

No we sure don't. You can try Microsoft for certified repair locations at 1-800-4my-xboxd Lawrence

When I need the help they have always taken good care of my system when I've asked them to do some hardware work on it. While I'm there, Joe and his team are also super friendly and fun to talk to about, you know, the day today and video games and introducing my friends and I to cool forgotten games to check out or tips on what to look for as far as hardware and systems. I was just there again today to buy Metal Gear Solid on PlayStation 1 and I think we're real lucky as a society to have places like this because there's not many places left. They do this sort of thing and have the talent and kindness behind it. Thanks Joe and your team :)

I believe them to be reasonably priced especially after the research I did to see if I could perform the repairs myself. Exceptionally communicative, realistic and professional throughout entire process. So happy with the result! Also please be mindful and flexible with timeframe, plan accordingly because they are busy!!

Came here a few weeks ago and got a few games with some friends. The Xbox 360 games I bought were…read morefine but my friend had decided to buy a Wii and ended up getting scammed. The Wii they sold him was supposed to be complete in the box but was missing peripherals and the game it was supposed to come with. After contacting the seller they said they would make it right but when the day came to meet up they pushed it back to another day. On the second day they were supposed to meet up they had completely cleaned out their shop and weren't at the booth they are usually at. After seeing the shop empty my friend contacts Alex who is the owners son (This is a Father-Son business) and says he is suddenly "not part of the business anymore." Alex gets upset and threatens to shoot him after he calls his Dad a scammer and said he wanted his money back after being told several times they would "make it right." After the phone call is over George continues to text him and harass him even though my friend hasn't responded to him.

Like, a hundred or maybe even 150 over retail, I get it times are expensive, but more than double is outrageous. Not to mention the plethora of bootleg games.

All of the GBA games on the top shelf are bootlegs. Notice the "Zelda DX Collection"? Nintendo never even released such a title for the GBA.

*Updating my review to something more neutral but still reflects my experience. I found out that…read morethis store's short staffed and that's probably why there's a lack of clear communication. I hope they're able to get the help that they need to help support their community, but I still stand by the frustration experienced when attempting to reach out multiple times.* I've spent a good amount of time calling this store trying to get ahold of a worker for clarification on a tournament they are holding. The phone doesn't even fully ring before you get sent to voicemail so I want to assume they're declining the call, but hopefully I'm wrong. Called since their opening and between the hours and still no luck talking to someone. They don't respond to their socials either. This feels very unwelcoming to new folks trying to stop by and support their shop. Unfortunately I cant comment on anything else from this shop as this was enough to deter me and my friends from wanting to visit, but it's great to hear from their community about their situation which clearly means their locals are happy playing there.

I've been here multiple times to grab some single cards, and overall it's been a great experience…read more Customer service is really nice every time I go (usually on chill days), they're quick, helpful, and on top of everything. The ambiance can get a bit loud since there are table games happening behind the counter, but it's not really distracting. It actually adds a bit of energy to the place. The staff member who helped me had really good vibes, which made the visit even better. Definitely worth checking out if you're into cards. I'd recommend going in the afternoon when it's less busy so you can get the best experience and they value the card based on TCG player price!

The shop is pretty solid for Gundam and Pokémon and One Piece locally. That said, service and value…read moredo need to be addressed. On the service side: Pretty poor honestly. Body language, eye contact, and tone are lacking. I understand the hobby demographic is not high class, but from the 4 visits I've had, the employees behind the counter show less care and attention. Probably a generational issue, but in business, that doesn't matter. Proper training should be issued. Though I am also sure they would use AI to formulate a "proper" response to any concerns or complaints about what they lack. Value wise: I requested to match or get close to market value from TCG player on product, and they rejected it statong that they dont follow market since they have to make money too "you know what I mean?" This has been a trend on LGS it seems, however one LGS in Artesia/Cerritos met my request despite card/cash payment. I'm pretty sure the script would later be flipped when the market goes up after supply drops with the response of "sorry marketing value is this so we follow that." If you can ignore all that, go for it. Otherwise just look for another store or go to Card shows.

But I'd have to admit I've never seen such poor service in my life. When it comes to being around other hobbyists. I waiting in line to be helped while the girl behind the register finished helping her current customer. She seemed very polite & helpful. But that became very obvious that it was because she was flirtatious with the clients. When I proceeded to then ask a question if they had TCG Cards (Pokemon or One Piece). She did answer that they had sold out, but then proceeded to just act like I didn't exist. Not sure, why I would need to have to be flirty just to buy an item they have behind the register. I genuinely just wanted to look at the One Piece Deck set that was behind the worker with the Comb Over. Who also proceeded to act like I didn't exist. Not my fault they're physically attractive to be my type to flirt my way into a sale. Definitely wack employees today. Anyways, definitely check out the BULGOGI KBBQ! The server barely spoke English & their service was WAY MORE EXCEPTIONAL! Great Food!
