“This place is wonderful! The staff is friendly, and there's a wide selection of games. I managed to find an old game that's barely sold in these retro game stores. So happy that it's here to stay! There are even toys and collectibles here!”
“All staff are very friendly and helpful, they have a great variety of card games and other products available that you don't see everywhere else. The tcg community there is very fun to be around and are always helpful with any questions one might have. The atmosphere is very chill and inviting and is a great place to hang out and meet new people. I personally play one piece at their locals and have met a lot of great people who have become friends. Would recommend this local shop to any who are around the Bay Area.”
“This toy store is fantastic! Every shelf is filled with games or puzzles or books or stickers or some toy! It feels so nice to walk into a real local toy store and not a toy department within a large corporation! Excellent customer service with complimentary gift wrap!”
“I stumbled across this doll shop’s website when looking for a specific Cinderella doll I’d been after for my collection for years, not only did they have her, her price was great! Half the price of the only other listing I’d found of her on eBay. Ordering online through email was convenient and they were so helpful and efficient. They shipped her out super fast, and she arrived in perfect condition. I haven’t been to their physical store, but I plan on visiting some day! Thank you guys so much!”
“Great selection and friendly staff! Most of the blind boxes and “trinkets” are kept at the back register which makes sense and I’ve never had to wait more than a few moments for an employee to be available to grab something for me”
“A lively and big store. For a local small business, this place is very big with lots of merchandise for different audiences. Boys, girls, babies, toddlers, young kids and even adults. From single player to groups and families. I was quite impressed with the variety of the products they had to offer, and the price was very decent, too. No wonder it was so lively. The staff were very nice, helpful and humorous. Will come back next time if I’m in the area.”
“Such a lovely children’s bookstore! They have a very wide range of selection for books and toys for little ones. Worry not, they also have a small section for young adults as well.Personally, I love their collection of puzzles. There are many rare puzzles that I couldn’t find it online or Amazon. These are amazing!Oh, the staff is very friendly. They also have a gift wrapping station.”
“Stumbled upon this local bookstore when we were in the area. It was a small but cute bookstore with lots of books and toys for kids. Found many interesting items here.”

“On vacation from Utah and found Heroes comics in the San Jose area. It was a great experience. They have a ton of well organized new and old comics that are priced too good to pass up. I got a stack I have to somehow figure out how to get home!”
“Darling, I sashayed into Illusive Comics and Games expecting the usual dusty comic cave, but WHAT A DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE! This place is serving LOOKS and BOOKS, mama! The stock? *Chef’s kiss* absolutely divine. Comics, games, accessories they’ve got it ALL, and I mean ALL. From superhero fantasies to tabletop realness, this store is giving me LIFE!
And can we talk about their COVID consideration? Optional masks, required masks in certain areas now THAT’S what I call caring for your community! As someone who knows the importance of taking care of each other, this gesture had me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside my sequined heart.
The staff? *Snaps fingers* PERFECTION! They were there when I needed them answering my questions about which dice would match my outfit (priorities, darling!) but they also knew when to let a queen browse in peace. That’s customer service excellence, and I am HERE for it!
Whether you’re a comics connoisseur or a gaming goddess, Illusive Comics and Games is serving you a full fantasy buffet. Five wigs out of five! ?✨”
“Sierra Toy Soldiers provides excellent availability of 54mm military miniatures, combined with excellent service and support; affording collectors a broad array of manufacturers and items for purchase. It's a family owned and operated business that employs helpful and knowledgeable staff that are hobby enthusiasts. For all the aforementioned reasons I would highly recommend this business without reservation. -Bill Cleary”

“Such a great store with the most friendly and passionate employees I've encountered at any Lego establishment. The pick-a-brick wall here was crucial for the crafting of several of my Lego art pieces.”
“The Pop Plug Toy Store is a treasure trove of fun and creativity. Their diverse collection of toys, from classic to cutting-edge, ensures there's something for every age and interest. The friendly staff is knowledgeable and eager to assist, making it a delightful shopping experience. Whether you're searching for educational toys or simply looking to indulge in nostalgia, Pop Plug Toy Store is a fantastic destination. It's a paradise for toy enthusiasts of all kinds!”
“The vibe is best comic book shop in Sunnyvale! Marshall warmly greeted me! Wanted to catch up w/ Keanu's BRZRKR. Didn't see any on the shelf. Without hesitation, Marshall came to the rescue! He found the bound Vol 2 trade paperback! Now, that's service! The selection of titles is comprehensive! Back issues even to the 90s were readily available. Ryan, the proprietor, is a great guy! Any comic book or graphic novel author/artist/creator would be honored to have a book signing there! Love the clean, modern, up-to-date feel of Comics Conspiracy! Will be back to buy more titles! Woohoo!”

“Very clean and well organized. Staff was actively cleaning and restocking shelves. Most of the products were for younger children. Most of the clothing was for girls.”
“Went for a fun grown up date to build a bear cause I wanted Bluey. Staff were kind and attentive. Noah helped my husband and I and got us straight to a stuffing station and explained all the add ons and made us feel welcome. Even though we were two “big kids” haha. Definitely recommend this location even for as busy and chaotic as the mall was. Staff were fun and energetic.”
“This is a great addition to the stores at Valley Fair Mall. I have a 9 year old and I myself a 9 year old trapped in a 40yo body. Stores like this really help break things up among all the boring clothes, jewelry and shoes. It helps fill the void of stores like KB Toy stores from the 80s/90s.I would say most of their toys lean more towards Japanese Anime such as Naruto, Dragonball, Transformers etc.Pricing is fair. You can probably get it online for $, but you'd have to wait and can not guarantee authenticity. Because of online competition, they have all sales as final.The service and people working here were very friendly and you can tell were happy to work in the store and help customers.”
“For people who want to collect Sonny Angels, this store does not have any. When I asked the worker, he said he didn't even know what they were. The store had an ok selection of things though, and was pretty clean which was great. Overall an enjoyable place to shop around / look around in, albeit no Sonny Angels. (a previous reviewer said they had a huge collection)”
