Ive been coming to this business ever since it first opened on 1960. After searching for another place similar to Insomnia, I can honestly say that it is one of a kind. Whether it be a vinyl collectible, or an art print, or even a wall scroll, this place is what youre looking for. Spanning wall to wall with a vast selection of blindboxes, art, and plushies, you can get whatever your heart desires. Also, recently, owner of the establishment Chris has started selling local artists work, and its great to see people like Ackzilla, Nicky Davis and Esy right next to Attack on Titan, Soul Eater, and Sword Art Online merchandise. This is one place I will come back to over and over again. My ONLY complaint is that they sell out of stuff WAY too quickly!

Good describes the place as offering video games and toys... but this isnt really the place you go to to buy video games. This store has a limited selection of board games, but really its the place to go to if you want toys and collectibles - thats what they have in spades, and youll find an excellent variety of collectibles here. I wouldnt expect them to carry the specific games (tabletop, board or video) that Id be looking for, but I hope they consider carrying more kid-room-friendly items. Maybe some fun wall vinyls or plushes. Maybe even baby/kid sizes of shirts.

I collect Vinyl toys as a hobby. I went during the Japanese Festival and had a pretty good experience. The store is well stocked and honestly a fun place. My two complaints are that prices for figures are very high and that the staff ignores you. I order most of figures from Amiami for about half the price (including shipping). I dont mind paying a premium for in store purchase since you wont have to worry about shipping. But if I am going to pay premium prices I would want better customer service.

I learned about this place trying to find a store that sells Monster Hunter blind boxes. Its a neat little place, but customer service was lacking a bit. Looked like the guy was doing something on the computer the whole time. I even felt like I was being rude by interrupting him when I went up to the counter to make my purchase. He was very nice and helpful when my boyfriend asked questions about the blank vinyl figures however. Just didnt feel like the most welcoming atmosphere I guess.

A store like no other, Insomnia Video Game culture provides a welcoming environment where anyone who loves collectibles, gaming, and a sense of friendly community can spend a great time. Chris, the owner, is a personable and helpful guy who happily holds tournaments, contests, and other activities which the costumers can enjoy on top of shopping for incredible custom art, one-of-a kind items, and imports galore. Visit this store. Support independent business.

Pretty much since Planet Anime died off a decade ago, there has been a huge void in the anime toy market in Houston. Not only does this place carry a good collection of anime figures, shirts, wall scrolls, plushies, and other goods, they also host video game tournaments and get togethers! This is the ultimate place to come a visit if you or someone you know remotely likes anime and video games.

Nice place, sells cool stuff, a resource for getting in touch with houstons local art scene, even selling prints of some of the lesser known artists. Has a room for small gallery shows and of course lots of nerdy knick knacks, albums, and Japanese novelties.

I love this place. I have bought quite a few art pieces and plushies with more surely to come. The move to the Heights made it much easier to access and though it is now a further drive for me - It is one i happily make when possible!

My go to place for figurines and collectables in Houston. There are alot of selection inside and they host video game nights each week. The store owner is super nice and will assist you with any needs. A super fun place to hangout.

Great place. Unique inventory for any gaming/anime fan. Chris (the owner) hosts weekly competitions and events. They also support local Houston art. If youre at all curious about it- check it out asap! You wont regret it.

Cool store with high to low end vinyl toys, local artist shows and merch. Come here for pins, posters, and video game/anime related toys.

It has lots of neat, game related items. But there were no actual video games to be found here. The Ramune and snacks were good.
