Amazing store full of nostalgia and a nerds dream for sure. Coming from a total toy nerd, this place has my total respect and admiration. Big lou is a very cool and knowledgeable owner and a real gentleman who takes pride in his business and should be praised for helping us in the hobby have a place to geek out to. 5 stars across the board!

I've only been in here a couple times, and while I'm really interested in the huge slot-car setup they have, I've regrettably never gotten into the sport so I don't have a lot to say about it other than it looks really cool!! While I was shopping, one of the racers came unseated from the track, and asked me from across the room to replace his car in the slot, which I did and he replied "Great, now you're on the team!" which was a fun interaction! I have done some shopping here in the tightly packed, haphazard stacks and it is exactly the kind of shopping I like for toys and collectibles. It isn't very sterile, meaning you may have to go up and down every aisle to find what you're looking for (I found hot wheels in multiple different places) but to me that's a plus, as you get to explore this great collection fully and find the gems that are hidden amongst the rest. I ended up coming home with a few die-cast cars that have been tough to find other places. The gentleman who charged me (who I would assume is Big Lou himself), was very friendly, and we had a nice chat about the stock and the die cast market. This isn't really a toy store I'd bring kids to and let them loose in, but for an adult collector it is a must visit spot in the neighborhood.

I've been here a couple times and it's just so unreliable. I don't really mind the staff hanging out with themselves, it makes it hard to buy things and since the cabinets are locked it's hard to browse but whatever. It's just that the hours are a complete lie, it's a gamble whenever you come and more often than not, it's closed. I might be done trying, even though I want to love this place.

Whenever I want to come get a toy or a magazine comic strip as far as the magazine like of superheroes or cars or any kind of toy. This is a place to go to I've been knowing about this place probably for the last. Maybe 10 years and I appreciate this place a lot actually. I'm gonna try to go in sometime this week. I look forward to it. I think the rest of you should check it out if you ever wanna. We live your childhood or little child or someone you know or you're a kid. No what it was like to have a real toy and admire it as far as for who made it and what it did for you as well with. That in mind have a great day see you at the shop

I’ve had no issues shopping at Big Lou’s. The staff may not really be talkative, but I wouldn’t classify them as rude. Anyway, the display cases could use a bit better organization, but they have a great assortment of action figures, dolls, toy cars, model kits, and more. You come here for the old school style stuff, not for Funko pops. Using the slot car track is a blast too.

Done letting this place waste our time and gas money. This is our 3rd or 4th attempt to visit the shop during the hours posted online, and EVERY SINGLE time they are closed without warning.

Big Lou's is a gem of a collectibles shop. I think it gets overlooked because it's near a busy street interchange. Sepulveda and Sawtelle are the cross streets. Directly across the street from Jack and the Box.This shop hasComicsFunko popToysDiecast carsSlot cars and a track to race them onModel carsPaintsPostersMemorabiliaTrinketsKnick knacks... really a little bit of everythingGo when you have some time to spend. It takes a while to go through all the stuff.

This can be a cool place when you are able to get in. I’ve shopped here before with no problem, but I’ve also come back many times to check some things out and they don’t seem to stand by their posted operating hours. It would be helpful if you were able to call ahead but the number goes straight to voicemail. This is the only store like this that I know of in the area and it’s a big let down when I come here and it’s closed.

I've been by 3 or 4 times over the last year and they're NEVER open! Such a waste of time. This time someone was actually inside the store, they walked by the front door, waved and walked to the back of the store. That was 30 minutes ago. They're supposed to open at noon, it's 12:22 and we're all still standing in front. This is my last effort to stop by.

This place is a waste of time and gas . Go to Frank and sons in the city of industry Rowland heights area and you will get your travels worth on gas and collectables. With lots of different vendors to choose from.

Been toy hunting at this location for years! This place houses several glass cases for viewing various figures, toys and dolls. Family friendly with an indoors slot racing track and plenty of collectable items for your toy hunting venture. Check it out you won't be disappointed!
