It's a Cave. There are lots of unique things to find hidden throughout. It does require a lot of hunting and exploring to find your gems. IE.....I enjoy buying DVDs unfortunately there is no database and they are not in any type of order then very basic groupings that do overlay. I did find 2 to add to my personal library of 1,200+ videos.
This is an amazing, if somewhat disorganized place. The amount of cool, retro toys and music is awesome. Could probably spend a whole day here and not see everything. The only knock is that I was ignored by every employee in the place, until I went to the front counter. Probably would have spent a lot more tho, so they might have done me a favor. Worth the time if you are in Sacramento, even if you have to make a special trip. Will definitely be back.
its a really cool store. it was my first time there. i came close to closing. its so much to see so ill come back. i came to buy some albums to show my grandaughter who has never seen a record . But it has old school collectibles and new school stuff. It certainly took my 71 year old self back down memory lane.
Permanently Banned for a Folded Mobility Aid - A Hostile, Discriminatory, and Vicious Experience I had a truly bizarre and hostile interaction here involving a clear violation of my rights as a disabled person. I entered carrying my personal electric scooter, which is my essential transportation because I cannot drive a vehicle. It was folded, powered off, and held at my side like a mobility aid, not a toy. Immediately, an acting manager (not the owner or a full manager) aggressively demanded I leave it outside. I explained that, as a disabled person, this is my transportation, and on Arden Way, it would be instantly stolen. This device is functionally a mobility aid for me, and under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California law, businesses must make reasonable modifications to allow for their accommodation. I pointed out that a simple solution, like holding it at the front, has been offered here in the past. Instead of applying common sense or complying with anti-discrimination laws, the manager called over a security guard who became exceptionally rude and intimidating. The guard went as far as to take my picture to harass me. Worse, after telling me I was permanently banned, the acting manager took my picture, smiled, told me to "have a nice day," and then laughed as he walked away from me. This is not a failure to distinguish between riding a scooter and carrying property; this is a discriminatory and rigid failure to accommodate a customer's disability, executed with intentional malice. I was met with total disrespect and hostility by an acting manager and an unprofessional security guard who were clearly on a power trip. To be permanently banned over a protected right, and then to be actively mocked and photographed by the management, is an insulting overreaction and a serious legal misstep. I will not be returning and would caution other customers—especially those requiring mobility accommodations—to be aware of the hostile and discriminatory environment created by the staff and security team here.
WOWWW!!! I couldn't believe this store had so much cool stuff. I spent hours in this place, and Im sure I missed a bunch.
