I Stop in every other month to see if they have any new G.I Joes (ARAH) it can be hit and miss for me at times, but out of the 12+ times I have been here only 2-3 times i left empty handed. Staff has always been cool.

Nice little hole in the wall. Very friendly staff and they have extensive knowledge of their inventory. You'll find some old gems from your childhood and even things that recently released. Be prepared to spend some time here since there's plenty of cool things to see!
