What customers say

Amazing selection, especially for Star wars, gi joe, ninja turtles, and motu. Some really good condition old Battlestar Galactica stuff in there. There's a little bit of everything, but some really shine. If you appreciate vintage action figures, this is like a museum where you can buy stuff.

Great store run by great people. I never miss a visit here when I'm in San Diego. They always have different things going on. They have tables where you can just go in and play games. You can meet up with friends and hang out and play games.

I recently stopped by to sell my PC since I haven’t had the time to use it anymore, and the experience was excellent. The clerk was both helpful and fair while inspecting and valuing my items, and even went the extra mile by letting me charge my phone while I waited.
