Here's the real deal about Heroes and Hobbies: There's no stores like it left. It's an anomaly. A throwback to a bygone era. Once upon a time every collectible store was like this, crammed chock-full of amazing vintage product and with a super-knowledgeable staff. Those days are long gone.\r
\r
This is *the* place to find vintage Transformers, Manga figures, Godzilla, Marvel Legends, Star Wars, My Little Pony, Gundam, Comics, and Magic the Gathering (just to name a few!) His selection on all of these is second to none. This doesn't even begin to cover all the lines he carries. Not by a long shot.\r
\r
Don't come to this shop looking for the current cookie-cutter products available out of the diamond catalog to a corporate store in the city. This is not that store, and that is not the experience you will get. Many of the items are one-of-a-kind and available nowhere else at retail.\r
\r
The owner of this shop gives preference to his paying customer base. If you have no money to spend your best course is to continue to look at items online from the safety of your basement/lair. He won't put up with your B.S., he's not your Mommy, and he won't give you the time of day unless you have cash. That's literal. He can't take plastic. His hours are pretty simple if you work during the day. He's open *after* that. People without jobs find that difficult to deal with.
Pros: Best selection on the West Coast.
Cons: Difficult hours for day people, no patience for time wasters
