“New to Gunpla. I took the 1 line over 45 minutes just to check this place out. Tom was super nice and very informative. I ended up with the perfect action base for my HG Barbatos and also HAD to grab the Ver. Ka Nu Gundam MG while I was there. This is now my go to place for models going forward.
The prices were great. The dioramas and custom builds on display are simply amazing. Do not skip out on this place, even if you're just visiting Seattle.”
“This shop is so incredibly cute! The atmosphere of the shop feels so perfect, they have a fun collection of goods - all of which are absolutely adorable. My partner and I stopped here while visiting pike place, safe to say it was our favorite spot! I'd recommend checking this store out to anyone who likes cute things (donuts and cats especially), or to anyone looking to support local independent businesses!!”
“One of the most delightful shops I've ever been in. Great selection of games to buy or play (for free!), lovely staff, comfy layout, immaculate vibes. Will definitely be back here every time we visit Seattle.”

“Rare, Retro and Imported Video games! This is hands down the best place for used games! I always swing by to check out what's new especially when I'm in the area. They always have a good selection of games and any given day there can be a new selection of used games so I like to come by as often as possible.
I picked up a Pink Gorilla hoodie most recently to get that lifetime used game and accessories discount of 10% all the time and 20% on Fridays.? There's more than just video games here. They also carry every type of gaming console including handhelds, magazines, controllers, and all types of other gaming equipment and gear you might just need. They even carry a large assortment of your favorite gaming plushies from Mario characters to Pokemon. They even carry Pokemon and Magic the gathering cards! If this store doesn't have what I need they're happy to check the system to see if one of the other locations has what I need. Even going as far as to deliver the item to this location making it very convenient. The staff here is very friendly and knowledgeable going above and beyond!”
“I was in town for a comedy show and stopped into this shop by chance. But im glad I did. Great selection of current magic products. Priced at msrp which can be hard to come by. The vibe of the place felt warm and welcoming. The young man who helped me check out did a great job of pitching the stores custom Polaris sleeves and at only 7 bucks I had to give them a shot.
They have a lot of space for gaming and run local Pokémon and magic events. This is a game store worth stopping at.”
“My wife has been coming here for decades, and after my first two visits I found out why it has been around so long. Amazing customer service and incredibly helpful and friendly staff. I bought two squishy dumplings that leaked less than an hour after purchase and they allowed me to either get store credit or replacements on the spot. Places like this deserve more support!”

“Atmosphere is very relaxed. Cool to have a place with dedication to education mixed with fun. I started coming here the past few days for Magic cards and will continue to support!”
“Came in while visiting the city two days in a row - the first day we bought 12 packs and today we came in and traded some old games in for some store credit and got more!!! The staff were very friendly each time and were very happy with our pulls and experiences:) Highly recommended and would definitely come back if in the city again!!!”
“Outstanding experience with the staff and selection at this store. Staff were all kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommended location. Emily knows her stuff and was great with the kids. They left very happy.”
“The employees are very kind and helpful! We had a large group and bought a lot of sets, they double (triple?) checked that all of them were scanned correctly and went back to the person who bought it.”
“Still the best book store with a café in the North end. The café is great. There is a place to sit and read. I'm spending more money on periodicals now and B&N has a great section.”

“Really cool video game store. They have a decent amount of international games compared to other places I've been. They also have a few other stores in the area, which increases their selection if you don't see a certain game right away. Employees are helpful and friendly.”

“I absolutely love this place. If you need a gift, especially for kids, you’re likely to find it here. They have cool stuff that you don’t see anywhere else and creative gifts that you wouldn’t think up on your own. They have items of many price points. They also have a lot of locally made items, from smaller companies and artists. The card selection is expansive, and they also have tons of balloons. The party supply section is big - whatever your color theme, they’ll have the paper products for it. The pace is relaxed and the store is roomy. Parking is okay, just on the street, but it’s never been a problem for me. It’s also a great place to get Jellycats, though their supply has tapered off over the years.”
“We found out about this place a few years ago when driving by on our way home. My daughter noticed it and wanted to check it out, but it was closed so we came back another day. When we walked in I felt a sense of nostalgia and it brought me back to my childhood. My favorite store was Sanrio back in the 80s and 90s there’s not much of them left so whenever I see a store that has Sanrio characters I get so happy. The staff are so friendly, kind and helpful. This place is a treat for Sanrio lovers and anime collectors. Highly recommended for those wanting selective items you won’t find just anywhere else. And always great to support small local businesses! Check them out on Instagram @ sweetkittyanime”
“Perfect spot for last-minute gifts — you’re bound to find something for everyone! Especially handy during the holiday season. The store is full of fun little knick-knacks, and you could easily spend a lot of time browsing through everything. I love that everything upstairs is color-coordinated — makes shopping even more enjoyable. It can get a little overstimulating on weekends with the crowds, but that’s part of the lively charm of the place.”
“Snapdoodle has really good customer service! I went I'm not knowing what I wanted for some family friend's children. The employees were so helpful with gift suggestions. The decorations thoughout the store are very cool.”

“Sten-Bros Toys Video Games is the East Sides answer to everything that could be found in Seattle and more! By this fact it's definitely a must stop & shop when in the Seattle area (East-side) and even a great buyer of all collectibles at this stores location. Search for those hard to find StarWars collectibles and most everything related. The Gaming selection is wonderful in vintage finds. Go see them today or call and set up a time for a new connection!
Thanks,
Paul M.”
“We were visiting Bellevue from Portland over Memorial Day weekend and happened to come across Bricks and Wheels because my son loves LEGO. We found a used Jurassic World set that he was really excited about, so we bought it and brought it back home.
Once we got back to Portland and started building it, we noticed a few pieces were missing. It was not a huge deal, but I reached out to Aaron and he immediately made it right. He got the missing pieces together and shipped them down to us, and even included a couple of minifigs as a thoughtful gesture for the inconvenience.
As someone who works in customer service myself, I really appreciate when a business takes care of its customers like that. Aaron and Bricks and Wheels went above and beyond, and it definitely left a great impression on us.
Highly recommend this shop. We will definitely stop by again the next time we are in the Bellevue area!”

“This is one of the only places I have seen with yoyos and other specialized toys in a long time. Their prices are mostly about MSRP, but the difference is ridiculous fun, good employees, and things that are impossible to find elsewhere.
Highly recommend it, and if you're in the unresponsive yoyo market, I would.highly recommend the Dumcan Roadrunner or Windrunner depending on the stock.”
“Had an excellent customer service interaction with Lakeshore learning store in Bellevue. Had an issue with a previously purchased product and was helped promptly - they went above and beyond and I am grateful.”
“Cannot say enough how wonderful this store is! The amazing employees greet me so warmly each time and make the consignment process so easy. I love that they have high standards for the clothes they accept so I know whenever I shop I am purchasing great, like new items!”

This spot is a real Gem, they have affordable stocking stuffers under $10, INCREDIBLE board games, puzzles, toys, stuffed animals and every cool thing under the sun ??. I know where we will be shopping for awesome stocking stuffers ?”
“Wyatt is the absolute best! He helped me find a gift for two kids I teach and was so patient while explaining all the Douglas stuffed animals! He is so kind and funny and so knowledgeable about all the toys and what kids are into these days! He’s genuinely the sweetest, he wrapped up the gifts so beautifully and I’m so excited to present the stuffed animals we chose to the kids! Wyatt truly went above and beyond and I’m so glad I stopped into the store today and got to meet him! I’ll definitely be purchasing all future gifts here! Thank you so much Wyatt! ☺️”

“This is the cutest store for kids and babies! The staff are friendly and helpful if you are looking for something in particular. I love that they have used stuff because kids go through things quickly and it’s more sustainable! You can sell your stuff to them as well. It’s just fun to be in there. It’s a colorful, cozy delight just to visit.”
“Wonderful shop with plenty of gems if you know your stuff. Owner was a good guy, know his stuff! Definitely a place to find 90s era junk wax and vintage raw singles!”

“Such a cozy little spot! I come here regularly with my kids and it’s always so fun. They have a great variety of books, and also some fidgets and trinkets. The highlight is most likely the amazing staff, who are so nice and have great book recommendations!”
