For anyone looking for a true card shop experience. I highly recommend you stop by here first before looking anywhere else. Customer service was great and their card selection was high. No reason to get scalped anywhere else their prices are fair

Very cool place first time going will be going back. They have lots of kits, cards sleeves, Saturdays stuff and it looks like they have tables for some events which are not accessible because of covid. Face mask enforced. They also sell paint for kits. They are open Sunday to Saturday 12pm to 8pm. I will be returning.

Great store and friendly staff but a little too good at magic.

I stopped by to pick up a box of magic cards, and I was pleasantly greeted and assisted. The selection here really blew my mind, and what was to be a single stop on my way home from work, will likely now be my new regular gaming location. The folks working here seemed great, and I look forward to being a continuing customer.

This place was pretty cool until I bought 10 Pokémon booster packs. I wanted to return half of them or maybe exchange for something else but they asked what my reason for returning them and when I said I wanted to get some other cards instead they decided that wasnt a good reason and refused my return. I dont understand why I need a good reason to return a sealed item that I just bought an hour before. Dont buy here unless you dont care about return policies.edit/reply:I understand I may have felt a bit more upset than I should have but when I asked casually about returning the items the employee instead of just nicely saying that all sales are final and dont do refunds/exchanges which would have been fine. He instead asked why Im returning in an upset manner.. when all he had to say is we dont do returns nicely. Instead he aggressively said, we will not be taking any of those. And I was like damn?? I was just asking..

Love this place, found it recently. It caters to many varieties of gamers. They have yugioh, pokemon, digimon, magic, and warhammer to name a few games. prices are very fair as well with an amazing witty staff to follow.

Really nice folks, if magic is your thing then this place is great, for the Yu-Gi-Oh folks the selection is a bit sparse but their online store really comes in clutch for what they do have in stock

My friend and I enjoy the selection and the cleanliness of the store. This is one of the top 4 card shops that we adventure too given that it is in our community and love supporting local businesses. However, the customer service is lacking. Everytime we walk into the store, we just do not have that feeling of welcomeness from the employees. Sometimes we are never greeted, other times we get that feeling of them hoping that we dont bother them. Its extremely rare to even get a smile off of them. Seems like a job that they are miserable in doing. If it wasnt close to our vicinity we wouldnt even bother coming. We always give them the benefit of the doubt and hope next time will not be the same. There was only ONE time where we felt valued as a customer, I believe it was a gentleman with dark brown longish hair. He was awesome! If the owner is reading this, as a somewhat regular customer, it would feel nice for your employees to make us feel welcomed rather than having it seem like we are bothering them. Having them be more customer driven friendly especially in a retail store.

When I used to live in California this was my spot. Made so many friends there and became friends with most of staff and ownership. They are a very fair and honest LGS. Even living in Hawaii they still get me fair prices and cheapest possible shipping. This place has always has great customer service, competitive prices and always helped me to find whatever product I was looking for even if they didn’t have it in stock. Definitely recommend stopping in for any of your TCG needs.

I used to play MTG here when I was living in Long Beach. This is the best LGS Ive ever been to. The staff is great and the people here are very friendly. This place always pops off for events and I wish I could still play here.

Came for the release of shining legends and his scalper buddie came and cut the line and bought half of them out. Owner let his dealer come in knowing these people were waiting for 3 hours and bought them all out before people were allowed in. Lost my business forever. Scalper trash and resealed packs

The first I checked out Collector Legion instead of my usual game store, I went in looking for minis and paint. Paint rack had almost everything except black, and there were only a couple of options for brushes. They had prepainted, primered and raw minis made of metal, plastic or resin. Would like to see more options for metal minis, maybe even some mini trading. I went back the next week and they added a 2nd rack of paints different from the first one, with a lot more painting options, brushes and booklets. Can see this store growing into a game community staple in the area.

One of their employees, Jonas, was rude to me.I dont think they talk to their employees, since when I went back, Jonas still was rude to me. This is not a friendly store.

Review №23

Terrible return policy, if there was any in the first place. Not fair prices. Does not accurately follow market price on tcgplayer, which they use to price their products. An example would be to look at their Shining Fates Elite Trainer Box. Tcgplayer marks it at $94.59, yet Collector Legion is charging $129.99 It doesnt even help their justified pricing when they put Gardena tax on top of it as well. They basically only care about profits and not about the community. They are just taking advantage of the pandemic to trick people to pay for unfair prices for insane profits. Honestly if you want better priced products, you are better off going on OfferUp, Facebook Market, eBay, or Amazon. They have better deals than this clown show. Also, yes I did buy from you guys before, but you guys wont admit it because you know you guys scammed me.

Review №24

Okay, based on experience with this lgs the prices are daunting since they follow the market price based on most renowned tcgplayer. Not to mention their sealed products here are above msrp so go here at your own discretion. Be warned any card singles you can buy online can get refunded if the card price shot up and the refund at first was incomplete due them just refunding only the card price and not the tax I paid for it until just yesterday I finally got my full refund which i have to email them about the tax I paid for it.

Definitely my fav hobby/card shop! Not only is the staff cool and shelves stocked but they even do barbeques and stuff for all their guests, newcomers welcome! Totally, totally rad!Also, their logo is totally sick! I find myself buying plenty of their merchandise just to sport it (plus support my local shop)!

Went in on oct 14, 2020 and was impress for going there for the 1st time ever. There was super informative guy that helped me with my magic the gathering question. They have good equipment for painting warhammer models and cool selection of models for many big board games. Yeah, I recommend to check them out.

Awesome hobby store. They have a pretty wide variety of card games at the shop. Very friendly staff. Lots of tables available to just come in and start playing on. They also have board games and figures for sale. I believe they have DnD nights as well. Definitely worth checking out.

Wow! This place is great very kind and welcoming staff who are willing to automatically help you and be friends with you. Everyone there even the customers are kind and friendly. Welcoming community of people and staff who are willing to go out of there way to help you and have fun doing it. If I had to nitpick just which they had a slightly wider variety of figures but what they have is still very diverse just a lil more focus on figures but still amazing 4.8/5

Review №58

Slowly, but surely, Ive come to recognize this place as my local (well one of them.) Grim is great, he runs the place. You really get the feeling that he cares about Legion and that he wants not only for himself to succeed, but for you to succeed as well. The shop is large, clean, and there are always places to play. Events fire of regularly and three community here is pretty tight nit. No qualms or complaints yet. To be fair, I have to pick something to criticize, so the one area Ill pick is the parking. Legion is right next to a place that offers Zumba and on nights when they have classes, the lot can get very full, very quickly. But other than that, parking isnt bad at all.

This shop is a great place for TCG games events, and has a great community. Though the event days are not competitive compared to other locations such as the comic bug but still gives a great vibe wanting to comback and play another round with another person, and still be friendly with the opponent you face.
