“A good comic book and collectables store on city walk. It is mostly geared to marvel and DC products but they do have a good range of other genres aswell, including horror and loads of funko pops and some good shirts. A decent sized store, was fairly quiet despite city walk being busy and service was all good.”

“I found this hobby shop thru an eBay listing and I reached out to inquire about inventory they didn't have listed online. They directed me to their website where they special ordered it for me with stellar, personal communication the whole way. I live all the way in NC and the shipping took only 2 days. I will absolutely be using this store for my hobby needs in the future!”

“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.”

“One of the best automotive museums in the world. The collections change often so worth going back a few times per year. Parking is expensive ($21) in the garage.”

“Ok. So this place has a lot of cars. The prices are higher than like a swap meet but it's a business. He has overhead.

Claims there isn't that much markup in stuff but a guy asked for what was about a 15% discount and was told there was no wiggle room and ended up paying the asking price. Small. Intimate. And he has his own collection on the pegs.

If that's true he probably should be buying them for cheaper. It's a reseller's market. And he's not about turning inventory. It's a really nice collection to browse. But 20 bucks for a mainline is lost on me. 8 to 10 dollars for peg warmers.”

Ever since I found out about this store, I have been so sad that I have not been able to travel and check it out. But I feel so much better knowing its so easy to buy stickers online!”

I went there to turn my traxxas rustler into an FPV RC car by using an FPV drone camera and mounting it onto the car and Armand was very helpful and nice. The customer service is outstanding i highly recommend this place.”

“Mega City One is amazing!! It may not look like much from the outside, but if you love comic books like me, it has mostly EVERYTHING you are looking for to meet your regular comic book fixes!! I've been going to this store for years and they rarely let me down. The owner and JON who's runs the store are incredible and have a wealth full of knowledge. Beyond that, they will go to the extra mile to make sure that your comic book needs are fullfied and you and your needs are fully taken care of. Also, Mega City One far exceeds their closest competition, that "Rotten Apple" place down the street! Forever, for me, Comic Books have always stood for "Truth, Justice and the American Way!" When I visit Mega City One, I feel like I'm stepping into the Daily Planet where hidden greatness can be found. They are so much better than President's Lex Luther's villains lair down the street. Can't recommend Mega City One's excellent customer service enough! They will take care of you and you will NOT ever be disappointed!!”

“I love how organized everything is here! I really loved how when I had a certain question about a specific show and character, the young man working was able to point right to it. Everyone here is really knowledgeable and kind. I will definitely continue to come here to get gifts for myself, friends, and family. Thank you so much!”

“We were in LA for a few days on a family vacation. One of the things my kids like to do is find magic stores in the area so they can pick up a few tricks. We did a google search and The Magic Apple came up as a possible location. Never knowing what will come up as a search result, we didn’t know what we’d be walking in to. The Magic Apple was the best outcome for what we were looking for. The owner was so upbeat and had high energy. My son walked in the door, was greeted, was asked what he was looking for, got shown a few tricks, bought a few new ones, and walked out happy.”

“This place has EVERYTHING! As soon as you step in, there are jewels, crystals, beads, and tools as far as the eye can see. It’s like a treasure wonderland in there. Of course, such a wide selection can leave you feeling a bit lost which is where the customer service comes in.

I was fortunate to be helped by a very lovely lady who helped me find everything I needed. She has knowledge and expertise, and was able to give me insight into what sizes I needed for crimp beads and jump rings. She even showed me beautiful necklaces that she had made herself, which showcased her skill. I asked her about how wire protectors work, and she took the time to draw me a diagram to show me how they work! It was an act of kindness that I appreciate so much, and just speaks to the level of customer care that they provide. I will definitely be back”

“If I die and get to go to heaven, I am going to ask the bus driver to stop at Blick so I can load up on supplies. I will unload my haul at the gates and wait for all the cool kids (aka the creatives) to come meet me. I will let them use all of my markers, paper and paint in exchange for their advisement on how to best decorate a proper heaven.

Until then, I rely on the incredibly helpful staff at Blick as tour guides to my life's aspirations.”
