BEWARE THE MAGIC CHANGING PRICES.

When I moved out to WA I was so happy to find a store like this. At the mall no less. I visited many times and it was great, their stock has grown a lot. HOWEVER, my last visit was my final visit. I had already noticed plenty of figures either overpriced or scalper priced, as in higher than youd see online, but I still managed to spend hundreds of dollars here happily on figures. A lot of prices are just enough to say might as well. What happened my last day was just gross. I asked the employee at the time to get a figure down for me to look at, he does so, then mentions the price along the way. It was a great price actually, about 175. I was elated, and with the figure in my hands checked around the store some more. That was my mistake. I guess the employee took it upon himself to look up the price of my future figure online. Thats when he came over to me, took it out of my hands, and said that the price was wrong. It was actualy 360 dollars. WHAT? In my mind too little too late man, but he took it anyways. Even went ahead and changed the price of similar figures too. The employee contacted the owner for me and the owner decided tough luck too, even if i already had it in my hands. No way to meet inbetween either. I will never be going back. But to anyone in the future if you are buying a figure, go straight to the counter and pay or else they might change the price on you the...

Prices are definitely jacked up here-most are between 50-100% higher than you can find online (definitely do a quick Google search before you decide to buy anything) but they have a decent selection- just be wary, some of their posters look like there may be some (possibly unintentional) art theft. I bought a tapestry of nanami and itadori from jujutsu kaisen that had a person's arm randomly coming in from the side who was CLEARLY not in the picture. A quick Google search popped up the real artist- I don't know where they buy the tapestries from, so they probably didn't realize, but it was clearly cropped from someone else's fanart. It looks like some of their keychains may have the same problem.

That being said, they are constantly updating their selection and have a huge demon slayer and my Hero Academia selection (I also randomly found Danganronpa merch the other day). You probably won't find anything from smaller or older fandoms here (aside from Goku and Naruto anyways). I can never seem to find any blue exorcist merch, but they also have a good selection of non-anime related cutesy stuff.

Staff are very friendly...

I really like this place for the BTS and kpop things that they have but some of the things there aren’t official like the BT21 pillows and things like that, but other than that it’s a good place cuz I’m pretty sure there’s no official BTS necklace and pop socket so I’d get them here but if you want the official stuff I would get them on amazon and find the official BTS and BT21 things there. And also some of the photos cards I got there were really good but some of the things were overpriced like the pop socket I got and some other things like one of the notebooks and a necklace I got there but I still liked it tho and some of the others things that I’ve bought there were squishes and slime. The squishes are pretty good but the slime I got there for 6.99 was good but I didn’t play with it for a while and it’s hard to explain but it’s kinda hard and wet and slimy and it breaks but I think that...
