Happy 2021 to all RJ peeps! Here's a short video from a super robot/gokin lover perspective of Frank and Son in the City of Industry, California. They recently moved to a new location a couple of miles to the west but still in the same city. The building used to be a Sam's Club/Costco. Website>>> www.frankandsonshow.net/

I haven’t been there since they moved I assume this fixed the lack parking availability. I also stopped going because POPS were taking over. 😂

I also stopped going because POPS were taking over. 😂 Yes, parking is plentiful since they are now in a commercial plaza, as opposed to an industrial/warehousing district previously. Warning though - lines are crazy long currently just to get in. If I didn't drive 60 miles one way, I would have skipped it. LOL so many Funko Pops everywhere, some more expensive than SoCs! Trading card games (TCG) galore as well. For those who remember Tisinc99, who also had an online store, he always had a stall @ F&S but he does not even carry any SoCs now.

I was there a couple years ago when they were in the old location when I traveled to LA. Parking was indeed horrible. Have to park almost a mile away and walk to the place. While it was nice to check it out with a lot of booths and shops, it was still mainly geared towards American toys and vintage stuff, with only small amount of shops that carries the "cool stuff". Prices were not particularly great either, so I came out empty-handed. Great for locals, but not sure if I'll go back again if it is more or less the same. And yeah, Funko Pops are everywhere in there.

Thanks for the video of the new location. I used to go to the old location during my elementary school years with my dad and then again in my college years. Great to browse around there. I bought my first SOC there which I think was Gunbuster. Parking was always bad and just got worse as more and more people became aware of frank and sons.

I went just before I moved out of California a few months ago. It’s a great place to visit. You won’t find many bargains but you’ll always see something cool. I’ll definitely miss that and the Korean bbq.

I’ll definitely miss that and the Korean bbq. Where are you at now? Excluding the line just to get in (COVID had something to do with that), I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I was inside for 4 hours and I didn't even buy a thing LOL! Nada!
