“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!”

Explosive selection and wonderful staff! Everyone was so nice and I even got to share some photos of models I've built.
Best of all, Gundam kits!

“Was married to a "crafter" for 5 decades. Michael's was a Mecca for her projects, be they faux flowers for projects that would fool florists embellishments of her (and my) Ren Faire outfits. Now my own craft supply quests are much more modest but Michael's is still THE place for picture frames or art supplies. Always on the lookout for bargains, things can get pricey, but often Michael's is just the only place certain things can be found. I love the parking at the West LA store and the convenience of the new self scan registers.”

“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.”

“plenty of neat Holiday offerings- picked up some nice sent booster for our tree too. Came in for specific tree ornament replacements in an unusual color, and they had them- better yet, everything was really organized by color so they whole selection was easy to find in that actual color. I was really impressed with the amount of pet tree ornaments and goodies that have! Really nice staff too.”

“FOR THE TRUCK DRIVERS. This store unloads in the front parking lot in front of the store entrance. Pull in head towards the entrance, turnout, and then back toward the doors. Now, they seem to think it is a good idea to park their cars where you need to turn out. I guess walking a few extra feet is too much to ask. They'd rather make it difficult for a full-size truck with a 53-foot trailer to maneuver. They unload by hand. You will be there awhile.”

“The moment you walk into this place, you will feel like a little kid walking in and buying a pack of baseball cards or other sports cards. They have a huge variety of all kinds of sports cards and trading cards. I was very impressed by the layout and the amount of selection they offer. The prices are very reasonable and offers deals whether you pay in cash or credit card. They accept venmo, zelle and others.

This is one of the best hobby card stores I have gone in and its rare to find these type of stores in various states. I highly recommend hitting this place up. By the way, they do offer trades night along with vendors night in their facility. This is a one of a kind type of store that offers that capability.”

The manager allowed her employee to help us but also stepped in when availability was not certain. She found the product to make our visit quick and easy. She also told us about future gaming events like DnD and card games”

“Fantastic service, incredibly quick online service, and ,honestly, great staff and community. Parking is very accessible and large selection of Magic products.

As a Magic player, I've had to buy both sealed and singles and Collector's Legion might be the best store in the area for both. Placed orders online and had them picked up same day without having to wait long at all. Prices are fair and reflect the online market place, and I have not been chargedmore than what was advertised.

Showed up for a sealed event for Magic and the community was incredibly helpful when I had questions. Events are well organized and the space for playing is huge! Had a great time after being a little bit anxious about playing with strangers.

The staff have been incredibly helpful every single time I've come in. They've recommended certain products over others based on what I am trying to accomplish, like triple sleeving. They were also quick to resolve a problem I had with an online order, checking their systems and refunding me an order when something was not in stock versus giving me store credit which was appreciated.

I cannot speak for other TCGS, but for Magic, they are my go to store at this juncture, thanks a lot!”

“Did the beginner class for Valentine’s Day and it was great!! We made heart shaped bowls and the instructor was yuli and she was awesome!! She helped anytime anyone was struggling and gave good instruction. We thought a sweet detail they added were the valentines decorations, the wine, and the chocolates. Can’t wait to see how our bowls turn out in 3 weeks!!”

“Very neat location. It's not much compared to the huge japan locations but its nice to have. Most of the merch is mainstream anime stuff. If you're into more niche things, it might be hard to find here but there are few. For Vtuber fans, this is heaven for you bc half the store is that, which is a bit of a shame to me.”

“So much stock! Lots of singles for Pokémon and yugioh at a great price. The store owner was incredibly nice and said it’s just difficult for them to organize the amount of stuff they have!! Lots of packs from several different fandoms, binders, merchandise, even sports cards are here. They have a buy 10 singles for a 1$ deal and that was useful for me. An awesome spot with a high chance of finding what you’re looking for. Don’t judge its appearance, they’ve just got a lot !!! Much to uncover.”

“Good experience selling back some old consoles about an hour before closing. Sydney took care of both buybacks with much efficiency. She knew the process well and moved quickly with no BS. It was late at night and there were random people milling around and she multitasked like a boss. Merch was kind of lacking at this location and the plaza was a bit small with tight-ish parking spots. But those are minor and the expediency matters most for a single employee operation.”

“I've been coming here with my dad for 10+ years since I was a little kid. We would always get brand new games before the release date & we'd also get them at a discounted price without any hassle or bargaining. Plus an even bigger discount if you get a bunch of stuff at once. Getting ALL the Halo's, Gears of War's, Call of Duty's...you name it..before release date was one of the highlights of my teen years as a gamer. You truly can't get that anywhere else. Just be aware that the price will increase if you pay with card. Unfortunately we have moved a further distance away & I am no longer the avid gamer I used to be so I don't come here as often, but when I do..I know I can still count on Game Hut to offer me the best deals. The only downside is the neighborhood and the swap meet that it's in always feels a little sketchy, but Ive never had anything happen to me nor have I seen anything crazy. By the looks of the swap meet from my last visit, there are now a lot of empty spots. I wouldn't want Game Hut to be next so Please support this business!”
