“Cute store packed full of so many sanrio items! They had figurines, clothing, backpacks, mirrors, plushies, sock, blind boxes, keychains and so much more! I was surprised to see a lot of rarer sanrio characters that are less popular sold at this store, like chococat, hangyodon, and my sweet piano! The staff were also very friendly and helpful. I was also really happy to see that they had blind boxes that had already been opened, as I personally like to know what I am getting.”
“There are toy stores, and then there are you stores. This is the latter.
Small and pleasant from the outside, the adventures within are T-Rex tall. The staff was engaging without rushing. The entire experience felt like being transported to another time when toy stores were actually for children to have fun without sales pressure. And if there was a dinosaur oriented toy they didn't have... I bet they could get it immediately!”

“I’ve known Manny, the owner of Playdays Collectibles for a few years, and my experience has always been very positive. I’m not going to lie and say that Manny always has everything I’m looking for, but I can honestly say that I’ve never walked out of Playdays Collectibles empty handed.
To conclude, Manny is a great human being, he is very welcoming to everyone, and the environment is very pleasant, and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend Playdays Collectibles to all Diecast collectors and enthusiasts. You won’t regret your experience.”
“If you’re confused where it’s at, it is on the back of the alley. So if you park on the street, walk towards the laundry and o’reily and exit from the back, walk like 50 feet on the alley and you’ll see the store with Wolverine and goku graffiti. Really cool store they have tons of options and they restock I want to say like every week or 2. Def will be checking it out every time they restock.”
“I live in Georgia and have purchased from Evasive twice so far. On the 1st order I made a mistake and needed to talk with someone. I was able to speak with an employee quickly and the have First Class customer service. I bought the hard protectors for Thrilljoy Pix. I was impressed as the HIGH QUALITY of the protectors. I was also shocked given the price as it was low, especially for such high quality. Evasive is my go to shop! They ship quickly and pack with care.”
“I want to appreciate everyone Retro Hex since the day I started collecting my childhood games they have made every transaction pleasant as possible. I want to give a shout out to Gabriel today who was extremely patient with me as I am a picky shopper. Take advantage of their 24 hr hold to make your search easier!”
“I love this store! I have only bought online and have yet to go in store. They have amazing goodies! Great stocking stuffers, toys for kids, Jellycat, etc. Everything is at a reasonable price”
“I saw this spot online where everyone won so many prizes so I had to try. There were so many claw machines to try out and I was able to win a couple! All the plushies here are very cute and the staff here were very friendly. They were happy to exchange any prize we got and each game was one token each that cost $1.”
“Annie was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout our visit. She took the time to show us every model we wanted to explore and never made us feel rushed, even when we had a lot of questions.
My wife and I are expecting twins, and Annie helped us figure out which products would best fit our family’s needs. Her knowledge and guidance made what could have been an overwhelming process feel easy and enjoyable.
We left feeling confident in our purchase, and we’ll definitely be coming back whenever we need help with car seats, strollers, or any other baby essentials. Thank you, Annie, for making this such a great experience!”
“Owners really nice, great environment to play and learn if your new. Hold different events weekly. Near me so that's also a plus.
Met some smart, funny, and interesting people on my first real game of mtg standard there”

“every time I come into this store, it is very clean and well stocked.. Albert at the cash register is always very friendly and helpful! Very nice young man and his good work never goes unnoticed.. Even during the Christmas rush.”
“My first time here and it was amazing. All vendors were very welcoming and very knowledgeable. If they have time they teach what they know about grading cards or no, what to look for on your cards, etc. I just wanted to say I really loved it. APE PHASE GAMES WERE THE BEST!!!!!!!!”
“One of my favorite go-to's for years, high variety of all kinds of older and newer gunpla and a really convenient used gunpla section for all kinds of custom build projects!”
“came here for a box of pokemon cards and ended up staying way longer then i planned just looking around. the guy at the counter was super nice and helped me find exactly what i was looking for, even showed me some stuff i didnt know they had. prices seemed fair for a small local shop, nothing crazy overpriced. wish they had a bit more seating near the back though, my legs got tired after a while.”

“This store is magical! I brought my daughter here a few years ago and she never forgot it despite not being back since. She specifically asked to return to this store to get her a celebratory gift. Even though we had not been back for a while, the store was still has magical, if not more! There are things for all ages! We especially liked the calico critters and Miffy merch. The owner, Millie, was extremely kind and patient — despite us being mesmerized for so long that it was closing time. I also saw that they offer gift wrapping services and that is lovely in itself (not just throw it in a bag with tissue paper, it’s the real deal)! Wonderful store, we look forward to returning soon! The Burlington Arcade (the area the store is located in) is also very picturesque and special.”
“We came to the store to try and replace batteries in my granddaughters build a bear because it had stopped playing the song. We knew it was old but it has great sentimental value to our family. The staff were the best customer service we have had in so long. They were willing to try and fix her with no complaints. They also treated us with kindness and just plain old nice people. This meant so much and btw they were able to repair her and we are beyond grateful. Good job build a bear.”
“Friendly staff reasonable price. Store Carry lots of stock. Ruby is the friendly staff member who should get a special shout out! Amazing store. Amazing collections. Amazing staff.”
“A lovely little bookstore with a few gift and card accoutrements at the front and a large selection of books to peruse.
The clerk (owner?) that I dealt with when I went in was highly personable and assisted me in getting a book they didn't have in stock. It took only a few days for them to get it in! Amazon may have done it faster, but the pricing and small shop experience definitely outweighs that. Plus I was able to find a really cute collection of cards that I bought for my siblings and niece and nephews birthdays coming up.
Plus there's a Dobby behind the counter and a little hide and seek game for kids who visit the store (see the counter for the details, I forgot them). Nothing beats that local shop experience.”
“I am thrilled to find this gem of a toy store in Pasadena. It is the best I've seen in terms of the quality and variety of toys. Whether you are looking for books, toys for pretending, well-made dolls and stuffed toys, or LA Dodger pacifiers, they've got it. The proprietor was helpful and friendly. And they do validate parking now.”
“One of my favorite stores. Really cute furniture, rugs and chairs. They have just about everything you need for your home. Dishes, pots and pans. Work clothes, school clothes, work out clothes. Everything!”

“Very great card shop! Started playing magic about a little over a month and everyone there has been nothing but kind and helping me learn the game fast and teaching me how to build a deck and to make my deck to be better! Bought plenty of cards here and prices are very good! I have sold/trade cards to them and they gave me very good prices for them! Staff is also very knowledgeable on just about everything and they are very kind!”
“Full of bargain home essentials and household day to day supplies with some interesting Chinese decorations, gift items and traditional Chinese worshiping supplies. They even have a huge collection of classic and out of print Chinese books.”
“Came to get my kiddo a reward. They had a low selection on loose booster packs BUT they had tins that aren't available elsewhere. My son was extremely happy with his purchase. The employee who helped us overheard my son finished his lesson so he gave him a free booster pack. We were both amazed and super grateful.
Lastly, I'm not a Magic player but wanted to ask about the collab with Stardew Valley. Both employees helped me out and gave me recommendations.
10/10 experience
We will definitely be coming back :)”
