ToyLynx - Honolulu, Hawaii

Psych Prof

Very friendly people work here. Willing to teach and discuss the games with beginners like us. If you like Yu-Gi-Oh or have someone interested in it, this store has an excellent selection and they have a free starter pack for little ones or if you buy a booster pack. Great selection of Pokemon and Magic cards as well. Store has very good COVID 19 safeguards in place. Located near the main entrance of Dole cannery, next to the Costco parking lot.

Normally I love this place but to be frank, marking up the One Piece meta starter decks by more than 2x MSRP for PRESALE (eg. ST17 over $40) just to end up canceling almost everyone's order was just shamelessly greedy.

TRIED TO RIP ME OFF… WISH I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS… GO TO “FROM THE HEART” ITS RIGHT DOWN THE STREET!!! %100 BETTER!!

Family matters made it so I found a box full of old 1996 pocket monster, 1st edition shadowless, and regular Pokémon cards. All old BASE SET. They claimed all were ruined and then tried to offer me $5 for a 1996 pocket monster Charizard… The card is NO WHERE near mint but even a “damaged” card (which mine are not) Goes for well over $5… they then proceeded to pretend to look though my cards and only grab the “valuable ones” they saw at the top. Then claimed they were “water damaged”, “bent” “lot of humidity in Hawaii, they curled” you name it… I WASN’T trying to sell them, I only wanted help understanding where I can learn more about them and if I should even consider grading them. They said none were worth anything, and most I get for the good one are $5… BEFORE GOING IN I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND KNEW THEY WERE LYING THROUGH THEIR TEETH… but to see it first hand is EMBARRASSING and down right wrong!!!

SUPPORT A SMALL BUSINESS RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM THIS PLACE…
I went to another store literally right down the street, called “From the Heart.” Not only did the store look a million times better, had a wider selection and AMAZING PRICES. They walked me through the whole process on how to see what they ACTUALLY go for on the TGC WEBSITE… Ken(the guy who helped me at “from the heart”) then proceeded to give me a 800 card storage box, and a stack full of 100 ish cards to fill the empty space FOR FREEEEE!!!! He wished me luck and hoped for the best.
Summary: NEVER GO TO THIS WEIRD TOY SHOP UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET RIPPED OFF, go to the shop right down the street for better prices, better customer service, and HONEST PEOPLE!!!

!!!EDIT!!!: I obviously know what a first edition shadowless card is, I have over 800 cards I can’t take pictures of them all. The ones I took pictures of are just A FEW that your employees said are only worth $5.. AGAIN I WASNT TRYING TO SELL THEM… If you like send me your email I’ll take pictures of every last one of them to show you! 🙂 Your employees chose to withhold information about my cards to me which is SHADY BUSINESS PRACTICE…

they chose to only pick what they deemed worth money and low balled me… end of story. I WASNT TRYING TO SELL THEM!!! I wanted simple info that they also chose not to give me. I asked if I can look them up or find a price and they kept skipping over it and saying “it’s only worth $5.” PLEASE PLEASE give me your email I’m more than happy to give you a full detail story with pictures of every last one of my cards if that makes you happy. ?

I now know what they are really worth, either you have clueless employees or they were lying through their teeth… which one is it

I was clearly out of my element and trying to be both supportive and encouraging of my son as he teaches me all about pokemon.

We went on a saturday, a day they posted on their website as having a tournament for Pokemon and other games. And so I thought it would be a good idea to check it out and perhaps learn. Sadly, those that were participating or not very helpful, but I suppose I expected poor social skills. But the staff more than made up for this, and we're very respectful to my son in addition to trying to facilitate my understanding. Thank you for spending 10 minutes trying to help me!

I absolutely love this card shop! ToyLynx has everything you need that’s related to trading cards. A lot of sealed products to buy from here and they also have weekly trading card game tournaments depending on the genre. I go here mostly for the Pokemon tournaments on Saturdays. Totally recommend checking it out!

Had a fun pokemon league day here, running every Saturday @ 10:30

Went in to buy some Pokemon singles for my daughter. The initial person I talked to didn't seem terribly helpful, but he did pass me off to someone who helped me use their in-store inventory tablet that seemingly connects to their TCG player singles storefront.

I really liked this setup as it was relatively easy to get cards from various sets. This salesperson, Daniel, was very patient with us and was very kind to my daughter as I helped her pick out her cards.

Every time we visit Oahu, we'll be back!
