“Great selection of new issues, and graphic novels. The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready with great recommendations. The shop is organized, welcoming, and a perfect spot to discover something new. Definitely my go-to comic shop in San Diego!”
“A fantastic store packed with figures, posters, and a wide range of merchandise inspired by anime, Japanese games, and idols, including popular characters from Nikke, Hatsune Miku, and many others. Prices are surprisingly affordable compared to online retailers, with some figures starting at just $9.99. The shop focuses exclusively on Japanese collectibles, so you won’t find American brands like DC, Marvel, or Funko Pops. It’s a dedicated haven for fans of authentic Japanese figures.”
“I've lived in Southern CA for about 5 years and stumbled upon Replay Toys in San Diego when I came to visit the first time about 4-5 years ago and now it is a must every time I drive down to San Diego to visit. The staff is always so welcoming (even with dogs!) and helpful and the nostalgia cannot be beat. I always find something unique or a Pokemon collectible that I cannot find anywhere else and walk out super happy.”
“Lots of fun shopping at Tokyo Central & Main on Convoy Street! So many fun things for sale: appliances, cooking supplies, toys, gundam, Pokémon, hello kitty, tomogotchi, cosmetics and more. Can spend forever looking through everything. Friendly and helpful staff. Recommend!”
“Great place with mostly friendly people, I go to tournaments there for Magic: The Gathering often, and they are fun. They also have pretty good trade-in prices for cards compared to other card shops.”
“Just went for the first time today and loved the vibe there from the layout and decor, to the friendly staff. I was able to find the perfect gift for my wife. This place is amazing and I will definitely be back again.”

“Took my nephew here while he was visiting for the weekend and we both had a really good time looking around. The store had a nice mix of classic toys and newer stuff, so there was plenty to choose from. One employee even helped us find a toy he'd been talking about for weeks. Prices seemed fair and the place was clean and organized, which made shopping easy. We ended up leaving with more than we planned, but honestly it was worth it. My nephew hasn't put down his new toy since we got home. Would definitely come back again.”
“Great store with a wide varity of HG, RG, MG, and even some PG Gundams. Several stands for 1/100 and 1/144 scale. Some basic tools to include entry grade zippers, professional Godhands nippers, masking tapes, sanding sponges, and other tools. Some paint options as well. They also offer a points reward system. The street the building is located on is very busy on the weekends and closed off. Parking might be a bit difficult. Overall location, variety, atmosphere, and staff friendliness makes this great location for most your Gundam needs in the San Diego area!”

“I recently took my nephew to this toy store and honestly had a really nice experience. The selection was bigger than I expected, with toys for different age groups and interests. The staff were friendly and gave us a few good suggestions without being pushy. Everything was organized well, so it was easy to look around and find what we needed. My nephew got excited the moment we walked in and ended up finding a toy he hasn't put down since. Prices seemed fair too. Definetly a place I'd come back to when shopping for gifts or special occasions.”

They have all the paper bags of every color to pick from but I need the balloons to say happy birthday And the single number balloons too They had those here very reasonable too. I was glad to shop for my cousin since she was working. So now we can have a small party We well celebrate my aunt!! So excited Very nice place but take your time to all there merchandise worth checking out here. No candy or piñata's that's okay It's not a kids party!!”
“Customer service is outstanding! I pursued an item from social media. After making direct outreach through Instagram, they came through and shipped the item to me outside of California. First time customer. The item, service and delivery time exceeded my expectations.”
“I'm so happy I went in to Gepetto's for a gift today. I called ahead and the employee was very helpful, when I arrived to the store I made my purchase and even had it gift wrapped. I live nearby but was concerned about parking, luckily there was a 30 minute spot available in the parking lot closest to the store. This Gepetto's will be my new stop for toys & gifts.”
“Cute splash pad for the little ones. You might want to consider bringing a swimsuit for your little one if they enjoy playing in the water. They also had full body ‘dryers’ you can pay to use.”
“Great place to find all your gift needs, gift wrap, party supplies and just about anything else festive. If they don’t have it I bet they know where to find it. Family owned and operated.”
“My family visited Geppetto's from out of town and we were so pleasantly surprised to see a locally owned toy shop up and running! There were so many different kinds of toys, creative sets, and scientific discovery kits. Staff were friendly and let us browse at our own pace. Everyone in the family left the shop with something special, including baby and grown ups!”

“We highly recommend Little Locks! They are so good with my 6 year old son and 4 year daughter! We have a good experience every time due to the patient and kind staff. Also lots of cool cars to sit in when kids get haircut and shoes to watch. Great choice of toys to choose from after haircut. They offer street and back lot parking lot.”
“First and foremost, this is a mother and father or family operation husband and wife. They have been business for many years. They offer a Wholesale toys that you normally see at Spring Valley swap meet or the swap meet most of it is your same toys you’re gonna get from your Chinese knock offs
The store provides great service. Those of you knocking them down because they didn’t answer the phone. Maybe they’re busy. I’m not really a reason to put on one star except for competitors. This is a place that’s been a local gym They’re great people. She’s a nice older lady in her late 80s with her husband. It’s family owned and operated with her and her They’re just trying to work and survive like everybody else I think that hands-down you should support them come by some toys for Christmas. It’s perfect for small gifts for the little ones small gifts for the little kids great squirt, guns and little toys that they can utilize.
You’re gonna go to Walmart and spend the same amount of money you would on this little bike or little toys or a little squirt guns I definitely suggest you go out and support them. You won’t be left disappointed come out and support local Mom and pop”
“I visited this boutique while looking for something a little different than the usual mall stores, and I was pleasantly surprised. The selection felt carefully chosen, with some really cute pieces that you don't see everywhere. The staff was friendly and gave me space to browse without being pushy, which I appreciated. Prices seemed fair for the quality. I ended up finding a top I really liked and have already worn it a few times. The store has a nice atmosphere overall. Definately worth checking out if you're in the area and enjoy unique fashion finds.”
“Nate and Claire were so professional and caring when I had to drive from the Bonita shop because the man was so awful and lazy. These two immediately fixed my voice boxes that were damaged upon receipt via online order. Thank you both!”
“I found a retro hoodie that I loved! It was the last one and it was my size. Took it, and a couple other items, to the register to pay. When he tried to find the tag it wasn’t there. He tried to find another size on the rack and in the back. Turns out this was the last one in the entire park. He went to get a manager and while waiting searched the system to see if he could find it. After a lengthy wait the manager came out and after explaining the situation apologized for making me wait so long and rang it up under a hoodie that was the same brand, but at half the price. I was a little upset about the long wait, but they were both very apologetic and they made it right by giving me a huge discount.”
“While visiting San Diego, California with my son, we had the pleasure of coordinating a visit to the EZ Toy Store, where he enjoyed an amazing shopping experience. I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Kam and his wonderful staff member (mi compatriota) for welcoming us and giving us the opportunity to explore your shop. The collection of model airplanes was outstanding, and my son left with seven fantastic additions for his model airport at home.
Thank you again, Mr. Kam, for your warm hospitality.
Leonardo & Hector”
“I was in town with family and ended up checking out this souvenir shop before heading back home. The place had a nice mix of items instead of the same generic stuff you see everywhere. I found a couple magnets and a small gift for my niece that she actually got excited about. Prices seemed pretty fair and I didnt feel pushed into buying anything. The staff was friendly and gave us some suggestions when we asked about local themed items. Store felt clean and easy to walk around too. Def one of the better souvenir places I've been in lately.”
“The only Disney store in San Diego.
Not only do they sell regular Disney merchandise, but they sell clearance Disney park merchandise as well. The staff is knowledgeable and the value of the products are great.
I always love coming here to see what goodies they have.”

“We love all of the bait stores. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. They know all about collectibles, anime, be@rbrick, and so much more. We went in looking for comic con style hoodies and walked out with SDCC one piece hoodies and t-shirts. A great stop to say the least.”
“My family and I are visiting from Florida and we made a stop here while exploring Coronado. My kids loved their toys and I had a few questions myself the worker that was there was so nice to answer my questions. I don’t know if I am writing her name correctly but Nuie was kind enough to help me find the right gift to bring back home for a family member. This little shop brought back so much memories!!! We’ll be back next summer!”
