WOW they had a lots of stuff there, I just wish my wallet was not as empty. I did find a Saber Alter there and was at a good price. I also picked up a small Shakugan No shana figure as well. I really like it because they were nice and the store looked clean. I went to two other anime shops the same day one was anime king and the othere was Japan Anime. Did not care much for AnimeKing prices were out there and no help what so ever. Now Japan Anime was okay had lots of nice stuff but some of the figures looked like there were bootleg so I passed on them. So far this is one I like the is close to me. The other one is Jungle Anime in LA. Just went there on saturday. WOW they had a lots of stuff there, I just wish my wallet was not as empty. I did find a Saber Alter there and was at a good price.

Nina always remembers your name after you go there enough times:D She has a good variety of stuff there, and if she doesn't have what you are looking for she will sometimes order it for you :D I just LOOOOOOOVE Small Wonders :D I discovered it 6 years ago while searching for the Battle Royale movie, when it was still in the Buena Park Mall too, and Nina was just soooooo nice :D Since then, my mom and I have been going to get almost all of our Anime stuff :D @ most places like Anime King and Anime Nuts, the staff are very impersonal and are sometimes very rude to my mom (since she is an older otaku xD).

I am thinking about begging my parents to take me. I don't think 42 for Shana candy bikini is a good price. I saw it for like 28 online. That is a ripoff.

I did see some nice figures that are a bit older there. Some prices were good others were kind of same or a bit high compared to what I had paid for the same items. Did not see much in new figures though. Will check them out again in the future. Regarding Animeking. Gundam kit prices are very good IMO. But Animeking is pricey on most anime figures even with the ebay price. About as much as the cost of buying from Japan + shipping... which is OK I guess if you don't like to buy online, but you would get it sooner from Japan... shop around! Their are other shops (mainly etailers) in the area that have much better prices, but mostly you have to pre-order way ahead of time for new figures as they only get a set quantity. Some will let you pick up in person to save on shipping. I made it to SW shop which was nice place to checkout… I did see some nice figures that are a bit older there.
