261 South San Gabriel Boulevard, San Gabriel CA 91776
“IDK how I haven't left a review yet. The family that runs that place are top notch people. I've known them since the last location and they're still just as nice and friendly as when I first walked in. Their new location is so spacious too and they're cool with people coming in and playing at an empty table. I don't get to go as often as I'd like but when I do go it's always a good time. Plus the Fresh roast across the street is pretty good so they have that going for em too 😂”

“I've been here a few times now and each and everytime I have been met with super friendly staff. I am working on a Pokedex binder and they helped me out with really fair prices and took the time to talk to me about the cards. They have air conditioning so I feel like I am able to browse for extended periods of time. They also offer drinks and snacks (I saw some sodas and cup noodle) for very low prices for their customers as well. W Store.”

“I’ve known Manny, the owner of Playdays Collectibles for a few years, and my experience has always been very positive. I’m not going to lie and say that Manny always has everything I’m looking for, but I can honestly say that I’ve never walked out of Playdays Collectibles empty handed. To conclude, Manny is a great human being, he is very welcoming to everyone, and the environment is very pleasant, and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend Playdays Collectibles to all Diecast collectors and enthusiasts. You won’t regret your experience.”

“Giving this store five stars because the employee Jon was really nice and helped me out a ton. Didn’t initially have what I was hoping to find but Jon showed me related product and I think it’s sick!”

“If you’re confused where it’s at, it is on the back of the alley. So if you park on the street, walk towards the laundry and o’reily and exit from the back, walk like 50 feet on the alley and you’ll see the store with Wolverine and goku graffiti. Really cool store they have tons of options and they restock I want to say like every week or 2. Def will be checking it out every time they restock.”

“I went here last Thursday as part of an adventure looking for LCSs in the Whittier area after recently moving. I was very happy with my experience. The shop is clean and inviting, with a large selection of bargain cards, raw cards, and slabbed cards across both sports and TCG. Their inventory was solid, with a majority of modern cards and even some “junk wax,” which I can’t help but buy whenever I see it! The two working that day were Rich and (I know I’m going to spell this wrong, sorry!) Kaylin. They were both very friendly and easy to talk to. While checking out, I mentioned to Kaylin that I was buying the junk wax for my son’s birthday party so his friends could open packs. He went out of his way to give me a few shop-assembled packs of baseball cards and a pack of penny sleeves to help get them started. That was incredibly thoughtful and meant a lo, it’s awesome to see people who care about getting younger kids interested in the hobby. Overall, an excellent experience, and I will definitely be back!”

“I live in Georgia and have purchased from Evasive twice so far. On the 1st order I made a mistake and needed to talk with someone. I was able to speak with an employee quickly and the have First Class customer service. I bought the hard protectors for Thrilljoy Pix. I was impressed as the HIGH QUALITY of the protectors. I was also shocked given the price as it was low, especially for such high quality. Evasive is my go to shop! They ship quickly and pack with care.”

“My boyfriend is really happy with his new TRX‑4M. He already has the TRX‑4, but he’s been wanting the mini so he can take it anywhere. I got it for him as a surprise birthday gift, and this store made it so easy. They held it for me, and I really appreciate how professional and helpful they were. My boyfriend is very happy, and this made his birthday even better.”

“Hands down my favorite card shop I've been too and theres a laundry list of reasons. The first and most important reason for the 5 star rating is the atmosphere that the guys running the shop create and foster. They are so kind and genuine and sociable which is lost on a lot of tcg shops these days unfortunately. I can't recall all the names but top of mind are Forrest and Steven. They are so kind and friendly and just great at what they do. The shop is about an hour away from home for me but I'll make that drive every time as often as I can to play here. It's well worth it! Thank you to the whole gang at DXN!”

“The girl who helped me was rad and really went out of her way to help me although she was clearly busy. I was being extremely indecisive and she was patient and accommodating. What more can you ask for????Oh I know.Reasonable prices and expectations.This is not a knock on the customer service but whoever is pricing these comics is out of touch with the community. I don't run a store so I can only imagine how hard it is to keep your inventory priced properly day-to-day. But they make apps for that I know because I have one to manage my 3,000 books or so.Also when I attempted to sell / try to trade in some books for either store credit or cash... I offered them Grails and the guy told me that he wasn't interested in buying them because they don't sell which I know might make me sound like I'm being overly confident or egotistical but trust me they were fire books and when I listed them they sold immediately. All I'm saying is we all know in the comic book community it's a give and take I feel like maybe the store might be going through a hard time but they could be doing so much better with the kind of customer service they have in store. I hope you take my comment as careful constructive criticism and not an attack on your shop I'm still giving you four stars for a reason.”

“Visited for the first time with a friend on 9/25 afternoon and was treated with exceptional kindness :) we were given time to roam and explore, then the staff reached out to us and helped us with what we were looking for. The collectibles are high quality, prices are reasonable, and shelves are well stocked. The store is clean, provides tables and seating for fans to play or gather at, and has lots of parking. I’m a Pokemon fan and was sent on my way with some cute stickers too. 10/10 already planning my next visit! Thank you to Psycho Turtle staff for really making my day!!”

208 S Citrus Ave, Covina CA 91723
“I cannot say enough good things about this fantastic business. I met the owner (Daniel Lenhart) for the first time on my second visit. He introduced himself right when I walked in and made me feel very comfortable. My grandfather had recently passed away and left me his card collection. I decided to bring them in to get graded. I told Daniel how much this collection meant to me and he told me not to worry about a thing and that he was going to take care of me. And that he did! I was able to get my cards graded in 4 weeks! I highly recommend this place for anyone who appreciates great business.”

“Located in a little nook somewhere between Los Angeles and San Bernardino, Card Arena is a true treasure — and well worth the trip, especially after a weekend visit to Frank and Sons (only about 10 minutes away in City of Industry). The setting is clean and modest — and easy to miss, even with a GPS, so be sure to poke around — but the environment and staff couldn’t be warmer, kinder, or more helpful. Allen and Steve took the time to review the dozens, possibly hundreds, of my top Pokemon cards. They ensured the cards were protected with the proper sleeves and inserted into a clean binder. They even took the time to identify which chase cards were in mint condition, which cards had slight dings or imperfections, and which weren’t worth the hassle of grading. (I should note I have a disability with my arm and hand; they literally handled — very carefully and professionally — my cards with the utmost n respect.) Though they specialize in Magic and One Piece, Card Arena had some rare Paldean Fates blister packs and beautiful singles at extremely reasonable prices. I cannot thank the staff, especially Allen and Steve, for their extraordinary patience, insights, assistance, and general kindness. Overall, one of the best (and most price-friendly) card stores you’ll ever find. Card Arena respects and cares about their customers with as much passion as they have for their products. THANK YOU!”

“A group of friends stopped in to check it out and was really impressed with how the hobby has become. We rented some slot cars there was 6 of us on a very large track and fast cars as you would assume chaos followed i haven't had this much fun in many decades at a slot car track i wish I lived closer”

“My first time here and it was amazing. All vendors were very welcoming and very knowledgeable. If they have time they teach what they know about grading cards or no, what to look for on your cards, etc. I just wanted to say I really loved it. APE PHASE GAMES WERE THE BEST!!!!!!!!”

“I took my childhood toy that I received as a gift 64 years ago for repairs. Owner Charlene was such a joy to meet and her knowledge of vintage dolls was phenomenal and the selection of Dolls for sale is vast.Charlene and her team did such a outstanding repair on my toy ( Stuffed Animal) and was able to match perfectly some of the fabric. I am so thankful my toy was able to be restored. I highly recommend Dee's dolls. Thank you Charlene and your team ?”

“This is the place to go for your coins. Watched him explain to the people before me, and of course the what and why of his pricing of my coins and it was more than fair. I hope I don't have to sell anything else, but if I do, this is the only place. Thank you.”
