“This seems to be the only alternative store in South Gate, it’s nice that the community should support the local businesses. I discovered this local store in social media and I come here on occasion. To find tees or other merchandise from my favorite bands and artists.”
“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.”
“I have been here a few times now and they have the best staff of any card store I've been to. Every employee has passion for collecting and they all genuinely care about every customer that walks through the door. They also have a great selection with a variety of options for every collector.”
“Came in on a whim since we were in the area, and was so surprised at how much variety and items they had available. Considering this is probably the only store left in the plaza, it still had so much to offer from Gunpla, to Yu-gi-oh model kits, and even some DIY Book Nook kits. The pricing was fair if not cheap compared to online prices. It was so hard to not leave with more, but will definitely come by more when I'm in the area.”

“Really helpful and reasonable supplies happy to help entertainers and performers! Stopped in to get black ⚫️ mixing for performing from the darkness for a show and come out with unicorn mask and other things”
“Best shop for your wrestling collection the owner is a sweet dude always treats you with the respect you need I guarantee you will love it here when you come and buy and meet wrestlers ????”
“You’ve seen the TikToks. You’ve seen the Instagram posts. You’ve read the reviews—it’s all true. Toyz in the Box is the best place in Cali to find just about any figure you’re looking for. From Marvel Legends and Mezco to S.H. Figuarts and all kinds of imports, they’ve got it covered.
They really take care of their customers, restock frequently, and I get my figures way faster than from other spots like BigBadToyStore.
Huge shoutout to Toyz in the Box for always looking out for me!”
“Really want to gatekeep this shop because of all the sick funkos and figurines! But the staff at this shop are super cool and down to earth. They take the time to help you find what you’re looking for and trust me …. You’ll always find what you’re looking for!”
“Hobby Lobby is a great place to find arts and crafts, home decore, and holiday items. I love shopping here because you never know what little gem you might find.”
“Amazing store! Jordan was super helpful in getting me the cards I needed right away, saving me from a 2-week wait for online orders. If you’re looking for anything, stop by—they’ll hook you up!”
“Awesome place to go to find your Funko Pop. My nephew and I went to see the store. It was amazing lots of Funko Pop. We got about 7 Funko Pop. We found 7 Funko Pop that we were looking for. For our collection. The owner was an amazing salesperson. Very friendly and always had a smile on his face.
For sure I will go back and buy more. Or I will go on his website to buy more.
5-star customer service
Thank you

“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 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.”
“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.”
“Absolutely fantastic place to play cards. Huge selection of old and new comics! What is really special about Atomic is they are more than a comic book store, they run amazing card and game tournaments. They have a wonderful spacious game room that is full of friendly players. Such a cool place. I found Atomic Comics because they run a bunch of different Trading Card Game tournaments every week including store showdowns! The players are fun with a healthy mix of casual and competitive (but I’d argue more casual because everyone usually jokes, laughs, and is nice/helpful to new players). The weekly prizes are always good and the environment is super chill and fun!
I could drive 5 minutes down the street to play cards, but I drive two freeways 30+ minutes to come here for the players, staff, and awesome game room. 10/10 store! Love it! I finally found the cool game and comic book store I’ve always wanted.
You owe it to yourself to check this place out.”
“I had come in a few minutes before closing and the owner was so kind to let me check around the store, answer any questions I had, and to not rush me at all! Very very kind. Will be back again!”
“I went with my kids to buy some pokemon cards and the person who helped us was very friendly to them.Like the environment, specially when you taken little ones to introduce to the hobby .Not all card shops are like this.Etb pices where great as well as single pack.Will definitely go back!”

“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!”

“My wife loves coming to Michaels getting supplies for project for her school and personal things she like to make. She can find everything in Micheals for projects and personal things. The prices are incredible affordable for any price. The staff are very helpful and also knowledgeable.”
“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!”
