“In the area for work and stopped by after searching up some tcg and warhammer shops. As soon as I walked in even with the place packed I was greated by the owner and staff who offered to help with whatever I needed. I was blown away with the amount of products they carried and ended up leaving with some MTG products. Next time I’m back in the area I’ll be stopping in again.”

“Wowww! What an amazing place! I stopped in on my vacation and had the pleasure to meet Mark! So nice and helpful and knowledgeable! Felt like seeing an old friend again. He helped me to buy a Scalextric BMW 330I and I even got to run a car on one of their beautiful scenic 1/32 scale tracks! Lots of fun! I highly recommend this store because they are HUGE and have every conceivable car and accessory you can think of!”

My family and I love going to this store. Also check out the roof of fame. Wrestler art and autographs of talent who visited or had a signing at the store.”
“Xanadu. I've stopped shopping online because of this place.

Their positive attitude and genuine passion for all things LEGO create a welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back as a regular customer.The entire team is friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to the needs of their customers. They have an extensive selection of parts in bulk and have even begun sorting some parts by category.Whether I have a question about a particular set or need assistance in finding a specific piece, they're always there to lend a helping hand with a smile.This place is more than just a store—it's a community of like-minded LEGO enthusiasts of all ages, brought together by a shared interest in creativity and building. If you're a LEGO fan looking for exceptional service and a welcoming environment, look no further than BAM Lomita.”
“Bought a little Kita figure for a friend here. Price was lower than another place nearby for the same thing. Seemed to be a well organized store overall, which was nice.”
“Love the selection variety. It feels like there's always something new to look at. One thing I thought was really cool is that if you see something in the claw machines you like, you can actually buy the prize outright, which is nice if you don't want to gamble a bunch of tries. They also have a section in the back featuring small artist merch, which I love seeing in shops like this. It's always great to support independent artists alongside all the collectible stuff. Overall the vibe is super cute and welcoming, and it's definitely a fun stop if you're wandering around Little Tokyo.”

“First off, Oscar is incredible! I went this past Sunday and this was my first experience at a Warhammer store. Man, was it fantastic! I’m VERY new to Warhammer, but I have been into the lore and watching games for a little over a year. I paint minis from hobby boardgames and have been wanting to get into 40k for a while. Not only to paint, but to learn to play the game
Long story short, i bought my first combat patrol (Dark Angles), and I cannot be happier. I was nervous to go in, but was welcomed and made to feel very comfortable. I cannot wait to get further into 40k! Cannot wait to return to this store.
If you are thinking about getting i to Warhammer, go here!”
“I LOVE this place!! I've never been able to get any Arknights merch even at anime expo. So seeing it here was so awesome. A lot of genshin stuff too if you're into that. I'm an avid cat girl fan and a LOT of the stuff they have here are cat girls so this place was literally heaven.”

“This is a crystal shop located in El Segundo. Since I make accessories, a store that carries a wide variety of small stones is incredibly valuable to me, and this place is perfect. They have everything from tiny stones to impressive larger pieces, including many unique and hard-to-find varieties. It’s so enjoyable to browse that I often lose track of time.
The staff are very knowledgeable, and whenever I ask questions about the stones, they always respond kindly and thoroughly. The shop has great airflow from the front all the way to the back, giving the stones a lively, vibrant feeling.
The stone displays are frequently rearranged, so each visit brings new discoveries—stones I didn’t notice before suddenly catch my eye. It’s always a fun and inspiring experience, and I find myself wanting to stop by every time. I truly love this shop.”
“The problem with this location is that they have so much to choose from and the staff is kind and helpful. Be prepared to spend! ?Seriously though, we love this place! Highly recommend. Be sure to sign up for their club to get great deals.”
“I am so thankful for Echo Art Studio. Both the owner and the staff have such great vibes. Especially, the instructor Carlos has been doing this for 30 years and he is super patient and really cares about this students.”
“First time in there and finding my Supplies as an Interior Design student.
I'll recommend this place for future Architects and Designer students from Santa Barbara County and Los Angeles County!!!

“Small shop with a big vibe. Stopped in from minnesota and found some wax to open and a small stack of singles. They have sports and Pokémon with raw ans slabbed singles.”
“Great energy and friendly staff. Games are at retail price or higher and this location has fewer board games, but it’s a nice store and they have a decent section.”
“Last time I came here, their selection of fabric and yarns were pretty sparse. I had said that I hope there would be more the next time I came, and WOW did they deliver! There is a lot more fabrics and sewing notions, as well as more yarns. I gonestly can't wait to see what comes next!”

“This is my all time favorite soccer store! The store itself carries an ambiance of professionalism and uniqueness. They have so much variety, everything from original jerseys to jackets and shoes! This is my go to place when am looking for soccer gear. Their prices are far better than any other nearby soccer stores. They have the best customer service and I can see that they have a strong dedication for their customers. You can really tell that they have a strong passion for sports and really know about the soccer community. They also carry a cool selection of hobby accessories such as plastic and die-cast collectible models. Definitely will be going back, again and again, very soon!”
“Really nice store, lots of different genres of games TTRPG, TCG, board games, and minis and lots of paints some citadel and also Vallejo brand colors and primers and brushes also. Went on a Sunday and noticed lots of people playing some mtg and yu gi oh also couple guys doing some Warhammer so it's definitely a popular place to chill.”
“Owner is so kind and this store has EVERYTHING. Looks small on the outside - is NOT! There’s a downstairs with all the screws and plumbing parts you would need. So many specific pieces. Make sure you know what you need exactly before going. Pics are just from the screw section.”
“Cool store and friendly staff. Went to commander tourney to play. Only problem was how bias the tournament was. If you're new, the pods are just going after you. Really no point for the tournament if they're all friends and just going for the new person first.”
“Came here for a one time bowl making class and loved it. Emi our instructor was very clear and helpful on how to do things. Everyone in this space also seemed very friendly. Will be coming back for more classes in the future!”

“Needed help answering some questions about a baseball player from the early 2000s named Derrek Lee so I called this place. I was super impressed with him knowing about a baseball player from the 90s early 2000s. This baseball players dad played in Japan and he grew up and went to grade school in Japan. I was confused on the regulation and “World Baseball Classic” eligibility and he knew EVERYTHING. I really needed it explained to me, I like to understand the rules and regulations even if I’m not a baseball player or collector. Thanks for helping me understand my retro video game and clarifying that he is in fact able to play for the world baseball classic Team Japan.”
“Needed a frame for a gift. If you need custom framing it could take weeks but if you are not picky about the frame itself you can use whatever they sell on the shelves. They were able to do matte and frame in 30 minutes. Nicholas was super friendly and helpful”
