Sakura Anime Toys — Local services in Los Angeles

Nice little shop off 2nd street. Had a small but good selection of models. I was in there to find Zoids and found well priced/officially licenced Kotobukiya master and HH grade model kits. Super impressive and hard to find!! Ended up grabbing the RZ-007 Shield Liger Marking plus. This usually retails on Amazon for $80-110 depending on the seller. Grabbed this for $59.99! definitely will be going back for more. Also saw some Kotobukiya Gundam and other models. So official even the instructions only come in Japanese! their selection of figures and plushies is also super impressive. they also stock some funko pops if you are into that. Staff was chillin but very nice and helpful. Highly recommend this store.

Update: Went back and grabbed the Darkhorn and Gun Sniper W2. Both models turned out great and the build quality was fantastic.

Going back next paycheck to grab their final Zoid model RevRaptor. If they get any other Zoids I will be sure...

YMMV but while the prices are decent, the customer service was left to be desired. I was asking the girl a few questions, and she really seemed uninterested in helping or answering me. The store wasn't busy, it was empty when we entered and I was confused as to why as the pricing was really decent considering where it was. I only realized it may be because of this girl, as all she did was stand behind the counter and dead stare at everyone (a couple people came in after us). I felt like I was bothering her when I approached and this was while holding almost 100 dollars worth of merchandise. She only seemed to move quickly when she wanted to ring me up. It was off-putting and I will probably think twice about buying and order...

This store is smaller than its sister store next to Frank&Sons, but its all good. The figures are well priced not overpriced, mainly newer figures here. If you're looking for more older and obscure figures go to the Book Off next door or the Jungle. And of course best thing about this store is despite its smaller size, they is still a large number of figures from floor to ceiling and some tables in middle. Great variety, good prices, nice staff, clean store. I do prefer its sister store, but it's not like this store is a downgrade. I will definitely say this store is a must visit if you are an anime figure collector in...
