“SURPRISE! This hobby shop is like walking back in time!! I walked in and immediately spotted memorabilia from old TV shows (MUNSTERS, for example). There were aisles full of model cars, model planes, tanks, and much more! Collect Transformers or Marilyn Monroe items? This is your place! Easy parking makes it even more appealing!”
“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.”
“Family friendly card game shop in Signal Hill/Long Beach. They have MTG, Pokémon, Lorcana, and all sorts of accessories. They have local tournaments going on through the week as well, making this place a great community for those into the card game hobby.”
“Xanadu. I've stopped shopping online because of this place.
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!
Highly recommend”
“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”

“I’ve been going to this shop for a really long time and they run the shop very well. Ever since they have moved in to the new spot, sticker prices are fair, loaded shelves, always buying, and it’s overall a great shop. Thanks guys”
“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.”
“If you're into arts, crafts, or DIY projects, this Hobby Lobby location is a gem. The store's spacious, clean, and really well organized. But what really makes it stand out is the staff. Friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to help whether you're asking about vinyl types or even just for the restroom. The location's convenient too, with plenty of parking and other stores nearby if you're running errands. Big thumbs up for both pros and beginners. Highly recommend.”
“Wow Ted is the best! My partner and I had about a dozen pieces to frame and he patiently helped us. He had a great attitude and attention to detail. He’s an asset to this store. Thank you Ted!”
“I was visiting from out of town and hitting all the anime shops and bookstores at the mall. A decent selection of merchandise across different series and genre, in addition to anime/manga, they also have vtubers, danmei, manwah, and gatcha games, even some obscure fandoms. I mainly went in to purchase a recently released danmei and ended up with a publisher's special edition, which was a pleasant surprise. Decent BL section as well. I was also looking for JJK merchandise but it was very limited since its a bit past their peak. Very friendly and attentive staff and worth the stop.”
“This review is for the Framing Department. I've been visiting this location for years, and the manager and staff are excellent. I trust them with my art; their customer service is always friendly and knowledgeable, and their pricing is reasonable. Especially if you can go when they have a sale, I'll be back again soon. Thank you.”
“I came here with my wife and I loved that the guy just let us shop and look at everything. When we were ready we asked him questions and he was super knowledgeable and helpful. He didn’t try to sell us anything and took his time answering every question thoughtful. We didn’t feel rushed or forced to make conversation just because we were the only ones there. We will be back to get more things in the future.”
“Not even gonna lie this was the best service ever ever had at a card shop, the guy who helped me was so kind and he helped me find like 15 cards of a specific Pokemon card I’m mastersetting and helped explain differences between other sets too. I’ll be going back the second I’m in town again”
“Very empty arcade. Operates on a card system where you add money on a card to play games and I really like their pool table. Spaced out good and seating too. Only 5 bucks to rent the table for 45 mins on weekdays, unsure if it's different on weekends.”
“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.”
“Incredibly cool shop with the neatest trinkets and pop culture antiques, not to mention the great selection of vinyl records. It seems like anywhere you look, there is something worth looking at. Lastly, the owner is absolutely wonderful, kind, helpful, and informative. Can’t say enough good things about this place. This is a must visit!”
