“Funko Hollywood is a blast! It's so fun to see all of the giant funko pops!! If you're a marvel lover, star wars lover, Harry Potter lover or Disney lover it's a must see! And completely free to walk around!”
“Great experience! Tony was super friendly and has such a great variety of collectibles and toys of the kiddos. Went in for needohs and left with so much more. Thank you!”
“As the author of The Grant Colson Thriller Series and SERA Archives Thriller Series, I always enjoy visiting standout bookstores while traveling, and Barnes & Noble in Manhattan Beach is a super nice location.
The store has a broad, open layout with lower shelving that lets you see across the space, giving it a welcoming and easy-to-navigate feel.
There’s a huge children’s area along with a very nice café space. One detail that stands out is the wraparound mural featuring well-known authors, which adds character and makes the interior feel more engaging.
The overall setup is clean and thoughtfully designed, making it a comfortable place to browse and spend time.
I also spent a few minutes in the romance section while writing The Maui Desire Romance Series, and it’s a well-organized area that fits nicely alongside the thriller shelves.
The staff has been friendly and helpful, and the surrounding shopping center is very well kept with plenty of parking, which makes visiting easy.
Overall, it’s a strong Barnes & Noble in Manhattan Beach with a great layout, inviting atmosphere, and a solid selection.”
“Excellent customer service happy with my purchase of my first 64 Impala RC model gentleman at the store really helped me on setting up my car. And as well showing me accessories, they will make my car look great. Glad to find a store close by home to start this new hobby of mine.”
“Amazing local store with everything you could think of to get started/keep going with your hobby. Prices on par if not better than the big retailers for kits, lower for some items like sprays. They allow you to place items on hold which I did right after my first visit! Will recommend to anyone getting into building kits”
“This is a really cool gift shop with tons of interesting and unique books on art, queer culture, and the history of Los Angeles. They also sell tons of blind boxes (including Sonny angels), socks, candy, gift cards, and different stationery options.”
“We love claw machines! This place is located right across from the Sega pop up shop (June 2025) so it's nice to stop by after grabbing lunch. Definitely hard to get a prize but easy access and clean space! Always a fun time ^^”
“Lots of options at the museum store. They have expensive detailed models made for collectors, to cheap toy cars for less than 10$ each. They also have some apparel, decals, books, etc. All related to automobiles. There were some things that were priced up more than what they were worth, if you look up some things they’re selling online you’ll find them to be cheaper there. But you know, if you buy here you’re supporting the museum, so… Unfortunately I didn’t find anything that caught my eye but still an interesting collection. Overall, 4/5.”

“My kids get so excited when we visit. Perfect place to find diverse books characters my daughter can see herself in, stories from all over the world. It feels inclusive.”
“Walked into Huzzah on an impulse while walking by and was really impressed by the wide selection they carried. The staff was so kind, I grabbed a Jellycat plush and will definitely be back 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!”

“The guys here are great! Very helpful and not rude when you ask lots of questions like most hobby shops. Thank you for helping me out and having too much stuff I need when I stop in! LOL”
“The owner David is super friendly and down to earth. Loves talking wrestling and very caring. Even when I met him for the first time it was as if I knew him forever. 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.”
“I've been coming here for almost a year now and I can proudly say that this shop is the definitive place for beginners to start their comic book journey. This store was my introduction to comic books and the owners there could not be any more kinder. Entering a new space can be scary but they make it so user friendly. For any newcomers I would suggest avoiding Wednesdays as that is their busiest day of the week with new comic book releases. So only go if your looking for the newest releases. Any other day is perfect for a relaxing browse or yearning questions to ask. One of my favorite local business in the city.”

“kind of had a grudge against this place for a while (don't ask, i had my reasons ??) but recently ordered 3 posture pal hippers from their website-- 2 for me, 1 as a gift. the 2 i opened were the exact ones i wanted and the last one was the secret! my faith in monkey pants has been restored and i will shop with them again ?↕️??”
“Do not sleep on this store. It's an absolute must when in LT. So many cool pieces! I don't know much about collectibles but this place makes me want to start about 12 collections of my own. Super friendly service is just an added bonus.”
“This shop is definitely packed full of items, but in practice this means that they likely have what you want in stock! I found that they had several options for all the items I was looking for. I came away with everything I was looking for and more. Notably, they carry packs of disposable diapers at cheap prices, plus cloth diapers! I’ll definitely come back to purchase toys for my child or for gifts, as they carry a WIDE selection.”

“Traveling Tikes Baby Shop is the best baby shop there is and the only place my wife and I will go to buy strollers and other baby essentials. We recently acquired a Thule double stroller jogger and some other baby toys. Brian was super knowledgeable and I’m so grateful I went to him. Thank you for helping with all of our baby item needs!”
“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!”
“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.”
“I'm on the East Coast and this store was the only place I could find a specific set of blocks I wanted for my baby. So glad I took the chance on ordering from them!
Before I even placed my order, they were responsive and helpful over email. My order shipped out quickly, and when it arrived I noticed a few blocks were missing from the set. I reached out, and without any hassle they sent out replacements right away.
They clearly take pride in what they do and genuinely care about their customers. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again, no matter the distance. Highly recommend supporting this shop!”
“Michael helped me as a first time shopper
Great customer service!! Experience made me feel good about coming in and not purchasing on line. Definitely worth it to head in to the store.”
“I went to top canvas on a Wednesday not expecting to find any Sonny angels because they’re so hard to find nowadays. When I walked in I was immediately greeted by an associate named Angel and he was super helpful! The moment he knew I was looking for Sonny angels, he showed me everything they had! I ended up taking two Sonny angels and a collectors Sonny Angel which was cool! He was super dope and just made the whole Sonny Angel experience better! Customer service was 10/10 and I’ll be back for more Sonny angels lol :))”
“Love going to this comic book store me and my brother used to go here every week, really nice employees but sometimes when searching for back issues on the rack, some comic would full easily but over all my favorite comic book store.”
