FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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 Even better...our store kinda looks like a newer version of the Michael Myers house.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 coffee and bakery, Road To Tibet Imports and Glasshaus Flowers & Plants. 

We are really all over the map on collectibles, however we love Lego, Hot Wheels, comics and Funkos. A majority of our inventory are cards, comics, Hot Wheels, and Funko products ranging from traditional 4", 6", 10", Pop! Rides, Pop! Moments, Pop! Vnyl, Pop! Pez, Pop! Mini's, Pop! Albums, Funko T's, Funko Sodas...and the list goes on. We carry a wide variety of English, Japanese and Chinese Pokemon & TCG Cards, sports cards, action figures, games, M&M collectibles, apparel, and more from companies like Neca, Mattel, Jada, Lego, Kenner, Loungefly, Disney, McFarlane, Dark Horse Comics, Tokidoki & 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.

We are currently only considering purchase of higher-end Funko products aka grails. We are not accepting basic commons or larger size Pops. We also consider purchase of new to mint condition Hot Wheels, sealed Lego sets, various comics and graded cards. Just as described below with trades we pay anywhere from the industry standard of .25 to .50 cents on the dollar (IE: 25-50% of market value), depending on several factors which include condition, currently availability, if we already have in stock, etc etc. Please do not expect PPG (or HobbyDB) list rates when selling to a retail store. PPG (aka HobbyDB) no longer provides accurate values due to fakes, damage and so on. We suggest gauging your products off of EBay *recently sold-no auction, current market value, condition and then you'll get an idea of cents on the dollar from there. Again, we are releasing product with the possibility that your trade-in or items sold to us may sit on the shelf.

NOTE: Please do not be offended if we inquire origin of your collections. Without the ongoing theft of collectibles in Portland we simply inquire for your safety and protection. Also, please DO NOT expect us to purchase your collections if we have you bring things to our location. We cannot buy collectibles that we cannot sell. This can only be determined by seeing said collectibles in person. We appreciate your time, but again, cannot be expected to take a collection we do not need or see value in. Thank you. 

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 Monday-Friday during afternoon hours. 

Doesn't hurt to ask if we take in signed David Hasslehoff Baywatch shorts. In other words, if it's a collectible and fits into our wheelhouse we will consider it if space allows. Pops! Hot Wheels, Star Wars stuff, Movie and Television set pieces, etc etc. 

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 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.
