“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!”
“Alot of cool hot wheel car , you can find everything here!

-Theirs some cool collectible rare cars available aswell
Employees, or manager here was super nice! Top notch customer service, Definitely recommend”
“My LGS is better than yours.
Discovering Magic was well…Magic. I swooned head over heels for a game of cardboard and commanders. I have only been able to walk the great halls of this game with the aid of the incredible staff at The Game Cellar.
I’m a deck-building maniac so when I need Dragon Sleeves, they’ve got me. When I need singles to round out my play strategy and themes, they’ve got me. When I’m looking to crack that last pack and hit it big, they’ve got me.
You never fear the fall when there’s someone to catch you. Believe it, if they’ve got me they’ve got you too.”
“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!”
“It was amazing, I loved that they had almost anything you could need. It's almost like a mini warehouse. I will DEFINITELY come back here whenever I need supplies.”
“Dark Side Games is a decent spot for local game enthusiasts! They have a surprising selection of D&D and Warhammer items and supplies - as well as MTG packs and specialty single cards along with other game supplies.
They have two separate areas with gaming tables - a smaller section in the front near the entrance and a larger section in the back with a bit more decor and ambiance. They hold weekly structured MTG meetups and for other games as well (for a small fee) and their event schedule is easily accessed on their website.
We came in with my son in search of MTG cards and had fun browsing their selection. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Prices were on par with other gaming stories in the area. Store and play areas were clean with some interesting custom decor items.
They’re located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking. Would be a great place to host your own card gaming sessions or join an established local specialty card gaming community!”
“Out of towner who visited for an event. The store has two very different halves. First, the game space was more spacious than normal but had the normal game store "things stacked everywhere" vibe that you either love or hate. The second half was the store portion, which had an above average selection without having too much. Ever walk into a game store with so many games you just don't know if any of them are any good? Not that here. The selection is that appropriate balance of curated and broad. Appreciate the stores willingness to host events and keep the hobbies alive, and for that alone I'd never give less than 5 stars.”
“First time ever coming here. I had a wonderful time checking everything out and even getting some stuff I had been looking for. Definitely recommend checking it out.”

I love coming to DXN Provisions! ? The staff is always welcoming, helpful, and super knowledgeable. They’ve got plenty of space for tournaments, so events never feel cramped, and the prizing is honestly amazing ??. There’s also plenty of parking, which makes every visit easy and stress-free. They almost always have exactly what I’m looking for too. Highly recommend this spot to any TCG players! ?✨”
“ROBOT4LESS has a small but well-curated selection of Gunpla kits, with some very competitive prices. The staff are friendly and the overall experience was pleasant. That said, a few items felt overpriced compared to other shops.”
“Tons of parking!!! I went in today just to browse and ended up making a large purchase. Lol. Unfortunately, I didnt get the cashiers name nor is it on my receipt but her customer service was impeccable. Its not something that can be taught and it flowed naturally. I work in customer service and would like her to be part of our team. :) Went in 3/15 around 10:40”
“The girl who helped me was rad and really went out of her way to help me although she was clearly busy. I was being extremely indecisive and she was patient and accommodating. What more can you ask for????Oh I know.Reasonable prices and expectations.This is not a knock on the customer service but whoever is pricing these comics is out of touch with the community. I don't run a store so I can only imagine how hard it is to keep your inventory priced properly day-to-day. But they make apps for that I know because I have one to manage my 3,000 books or so.Also when I attempted to sell / try to trade in some books for either store credit or cash... I offered them Grails and the guy told me that he wasn't interested in buying them because they don't sell which I know might make me sound like I'm being overly confident or egotistical but trust me they were fire books and when I listed them they sold immediately. All I'm saying is we all know in the comic book community it's a give and take I feel like maybe the store might be going through a hard time but they could be doing so much better with the kind of customer service they have in store. I hope you take my comment as careful constructive criticism and not an attack on your shop I'm still giving you four stars for a reason.”

“It is one of the best card shops overall. They have a great selection of any card game (Yugioh, Digimon, Pokémon, One Piece, MTG). The shop is always clean, people are friendly ,and they have great prices on all of their products. The staff is friendly and quick to help you out if you need anything.”
“I visited this store to buy a superglue for repairing my necklace. This is a big store and sells lots of items. A staff in the store kindly pointed me where things are located. Without her help, I would have to spend lots of time to find a product. I appreciate their service a lot.”
“Located in a little nook somewhere between Los Angeles and San Bernardino, Card Arena is a true treasure — and well worth the trip, especially after a weekend visit to Frank and Sons (only about 10 minutes away in City of Industry).
The setting is clean and modest — and easy to miss, even with a GPS, so be sure to poke around — but the environment and staff couldn’t be warmer, kinder, or more helpful.
Allen and Steve took the time to review the dozens, possibly hundreds, of my top Pokemon cards. They ensured the cards were protected with the proper sleeves and inserted into a clean binder. They even took the time to identify which chase cards were in mint condition, which cards had slight dings or imperfections, and which weren’t worth the hassle of grading. (I should note I have a disability with my arm and hand; they literally handled — very carefully and professionally — my cards with the utmost n respect.)
Though they specialize in Magic and One Piece, Card Arena had some rare Paldean Fates blister packs and beautiful singles at extremely reasonable prices.
I cannot thank the staff, especially Allen and Steve, for their extraordinary patience, insights, assistance, and general kindness.
Overall, one of the best (and most price-friendly) card stores you’ll ever find. Card Arena respects and cares about their customers with as much passion as they have for their products.
THANK YOU!”
“Customer service by Sonia and Remy was ABOVE PAR!! They both were eager to help and these days, THAT'S RARE commodity! After today's experience I would recommend shopping at this store!”
“Spent about 5 hours at Super-G on my first visit yesterday 1/15/2026. I was in town for work from out of state and brought my 1:28 scale Mini-Z to check this place out. Track fee was $20 for the day for usage of both tracks. There is a very good inventory of Mini-Z aftermarket parts at the counter- I ended up buying some parts for myself and a chassis to take home for my boys. There was plenty of room to work on my car and my neighbors in the pits were very friendly and offered some great tips to someone who is relatively new to competitive RC racing. Even though their cars were much faster than mine, they accommodated my stock class car. The track is the largest foam track I have driven on so far, and it was fun to work my lap times down using the lap timing transponder system I purchased here. I enjoyed watching the 1:10 drifters on the drift course too. It was a very neat atmosphere, and the drivers here have some absolutely beautiful cars. I was able to dip out for a bite to eat and return right back to where I left off due to the wristband re-entry policy. The only point of confusion was the google navigation pin for this location is the unused back entrance. A sign up front identifying the business would probably be helpful for future first timers. All considered 10/10 experience, I will definitely come back to this spot.”
“Cool shop , has tons of Disney , Pokémon , and memorabilia would recommend, as for sports cards their selection is small , lots of old cards , don’t carry anything from current year”
“I have been consistently impressed by how professional and informative the people at Pasadena coin are. They may not buy everything that you bring them but they will never rip you off.”
“First time coming here got my stuff signed by Kirk Gibson last year and the service was awesome. Lots of stuff to buy for all Dodgers fans.. Thanks Luis & Carlos”
“This was my first time getting the Mystery box for $10 at the Duarte location . I’m absolutely thrilled with the goodies that were inside !!!!!!! I definately will be looking for them again in the future !!!”
“Came here tonight for the first time. Staff was great, made me feel welcomed and were super patient with all the questions I had. Picked up some pokemon and lorcana cards. I'll definitely come back.”
“Great welcoming game shop, lots of variety mtg, yugioh, Pokemon, one piece, 40 k minis. Always someone friends playing having a good time. Welcomes newbies and vets would def recommend to my discord”
“I had been trying to find a good frame shop in the area and they all either overcharged or were never open when they were supposed to be so I ended up at Michael's. The older gentlemen who assisted me was super friendly and knowledgeable. Nice to have great service!”
“Went for pokemon but didn’t have a specific thing in mind and the staff was super kinda and helped me pick out some stuff! Super easy to pick manual cards out too!”
“I really enjoy coming to this store with my boyfriend. There’s lots of bulk for Pokemon and Yu Gi Oh and other card games and they host events. I also found a Melffy deck box I wanted which is hard to find. They accept Venmo and Zelle as well!”
“From what I can see walking in this shop was definitely affected by the pandemic. It's incredibly frustrating to see a great set up for this card shop and rarely anyone to stop by. I was greeted by the owner and he was very polite and friendly. Being a vanguard player also means that there are not too many card shops that do or even sell Vanguard. So to meet a card shop owner who actually plays and sells the game that they are selling just blew me away. It sucks that really no one knows about this place. It's a great set up, they have a great selection of card supplies and vanguard sets and the owner is extremely kind and fun. I want more people who play Vanguard to know about such a great place.”
