Manga Lane — Local services in Bethlehem

my boyfriend and i went to check out this store after our classes because i've been wanting to go for a while. i live near philly, and shockingly, there aren't really any stores dedicated to anime, only comic stores. from the moment we walked in, we were greeted kindly by who i assume is the owner. i didn't catch her name, but she was super sweet! there's so much to look at, and i had such an enjoyable time. there's a wall of pins, books filled with stickers, and so much more. i really appreciate the variety of merchandise there was because it was SO much fun to go through!!! the prices are also fantastic and very reasonable, and as a college student, that means a lot! i've been to conventions where just prize figures have been $60 and over, so it's super nice that they don't overcharge here. a vast majority of the figures are authentic, such as the pop up parades and other prize figures. i got my futaba pop up parade here and i love her. overall, i highly recommend shopping here! they also have a website if you're not local to the area, so go check it out and support their small business!! response to owner: thank you so much, i cant wait hahah :)

(edited my original review to add on more, i meant to originally but was on a time crunch and just wanted to give the store...

Manga lane is a pretty great place for Anime and Manga fans. This place has a massive collection of action figures, toys, pins, collectables, stickers and so many more. Their price is also pretty reasonable. They sell almost all their stuff at a comparable price to what you see on Amazon, sometimes they sell it for even cheaper. They also have a few Gundam models, that I'm a big fan of. They also have some Marvel and DC collectibles and Pop Figures. They also have a lot of Pokemon collectibles. Overall it's a great place. I went there and purchased a few laptop stickers. The owner is a very kind gentleman. The location of Manga lane could be a little hard to come across as it is located a floor below the first floor, but if you're ever around Hotel Bethlehem, you should definitely check...
