I only go here for one thing... and thats to check out Gundam model kits. They do have a reasonable inventory, despite the small size of the store. I was able to find Gundam 00 GN-008 and GN-009 1/144 scale HG models with the help of a sales associate which I bought immediately. Pros: Theyre priced reasonably. Theyre only 1 or 2 dollars more expensive than online stores based on US. Online stores have shipping cost of $6 and up, depending on weight and size. So, even with sales tax, buying from this store is actually more affordable than online. The added benefit is that I got what I really want. The problem of online store is that if you dont read exactly whats on the webpage, you might end up buying something you dont want. Gundam models have different grades depending on level of articulation, and its best if you can see the box first hand than a bunch of pictures from the internet. Cons: GN-005 Virtue HG 1/144 scale was out of stock and this was my first choice. But then again, I dont mind going back here to check it out. Id call first, of course, for availability.

They have a large selection of figures, Gundam and car model kits, plushies, keychains and more. My only real issue with the place is that the store itself is pretty small and a bit cramped. Their figures are just kind of in one big pile behind the counter so you cant really take a close look at them without asking for help and you don’t really know whats potentially buried under or hidden behind the products that are visible. They probably cant do much about it due to space constraints but its still a bit of a bummer. If youre not looking for figures though, its not a bad store at all.

Gundam stuff is a lot more expensive than I thought reading the reviews. Mg freedom is 55, destiny is 75. Even simple high grades are on average 25-30 and i saw one as high as 45 (unicorn full armor). The top coat is relatively normal at 9 bucks a can. They have a wide selection of other anime stuff, but I didnt check their price on other stuff, but the gundam prices are a bit too steep for me. Nice little shop though. I would come back just to look at what they have if Im passing through.

This place is really awesome with reasonable prices. The store is tiny but loaded with models and they have tons of paints. I got my first model in a long time from here and it constructed perfectly, they sell tons of Tamiya tank models, models from animes and other japanese related content. I go here very often to buy my paints cus its best place ive found. The shop owners are very friendly and super helpful. One of my favorite places to go. Plus they restock every week which is awesome.

We stopped by this tiny shop while visiting San Francisco and were thoroughly amazed at the amount of awesome stuff they have packed into the place! Excellent selection and decent prices. They even had some older Bandai kits that I had not seen in years. Definitely worth a visit!

Great for shopping for official pokemon merch, but only limited to UFO catcher toys for pokemon. Has some TOMY toys too.
