ABOUT PORTLAND POP SHOP?

Not everything lasts unfortunately. Due to OMSI expansion projects taking place over the next several years it was time to move on due to construction and potential obstruction for customer access to the train cars. It was bittersweet to depart from the tracks, but our new location on SE Hawthorne Blvd now places us on one of the business foot traffic streets in the city. Even better...our store kinda looks like a newer version of the Michael Myers house. 

Whether I-5 or I-205 you simply shoot up or down to Hawthorne Blvd and we are pretty much on the corner of 34th & Hawthorne at 3337 SE Hawthorne (Portland, OR 97214) - diagonal from the OnPoint back on the corner. Look for our entry way alley and Bigfoot tracks between Champagne Poetry, Road To Tibet Imports and Art Face. 

We do not. We learned years ago that the best way to get physical customers in your store was to focus on marketing and people will follow. A direct call line vs a advertising pathway to a location can decrease overall foot traffic. In 2026, we feel we can best serve our customer-base through social media inquiry or email and in-person interaction.

A majority of our inventory includes blind boxes, cards, comics, die-cast, games, hippers, Funko, Godzilla, LEGO, plush, puzzles, squishees, and other varios pop culture products. We carry a wide variety of English, Japanese and Chinese Pokemon & TCG Cards, sports cards, action figures, games, M&M collectibles, apparel +++. Companies we work directly with include DC, Dark Horse, Disney, Funko, IDW, Jada, Ja-Ru, Kayou, Kenner, LEGO, Loungefly, Marvel, Mattel, McFarlane Toys, Miniso, NECA, Panini, Topps, Wizards of the Coast & more. You can also choose to e-shop here on our official site and choose from a variety of in-store inventory shipped from store to door.

Doesn't hurt to ask if we take in signed David Hasslehoff Baywatch shorts, however, we do not currently buy or trade most products we already carry. IE...we do not buy or trade cards, Funkos, Hot Wheels, actions figures, etc. We have been known to buy or trade graded cards, some TH or Redline Hot Wheels or older Matchbox, specific oldschool comic books, and certain collectible items that are in current demand. Contact us or stop by on those specifics. 

Yes and no. Factors include time of year, condition and if the product fits within our current list of sold products. Trades of less valuable products totally one valuable product are typically not considered. We must be able to move (sell) the trade in product as easily as the product desired. You must also take advantage on the trade amount agreed to on the day of trade-in. We do not do store credit "on the books". Depending on the trade-in, we pay anywhere from .25 to .45 cents on the dollar. Do not expect street value or PPG on trade-ins. The most accurate way to find out your products current street value worth is EBay. With trades are releasing product with the possibility that your trade-in may sit on the shelf. This is simply the cost of doing business and doing trade-ins on a retail level. If your trade-ins exceed a few dozen items, we ask that you schedule to meet with us Wed-Friday during afternoon hours. 

We accept cash and all major credit cards. Apple Pay and Venmo is now an option, too. We can even make the whole process contactless.

This is a slippery slope. We are a collectible store and pets will be pets. If we are being honest, we love animals and have donated to several animal charities over time. We do however prefer only visibly-tagged or documented Service animals in the store. If you have a small pet that wants to shop with us, it must be carried to avoid the obvious. Our store is also carpeted so pet hair and dander can potentially be an issue. On the subject of ghosts and imaginary dragons they tend to drool and leak at times so we are currently not ghost or dragon-friendly. 

I think we might be going on our 3rd degree of separation with Bacon at the moment. It's a 5th wall breakthrough kinda thing.
