Toylynx

Some of the cheapest prices for Pokemon cards that I’ve found on the island, pretty good selection of stuff!

This is a hardcore Magic type store. Serious players of Magic and other card games do hang out here practicing their craft. We come here often and reference their website for information and product availability or selling price.
I had a hard time locating the store using the gps but figured it out it is best to park by the Costco side then walk in. The store is well stocked selling to customers locally and online. You can find many different accessories to elevate your game play and just proctect and care for them preserving their long term value. Playing mats, deck protectors and sleeves, various sided dice and counters, singles, boosters, starter decks, etc.
Jason was very informative telling us what would be good to keep, what’s not and what is best to get and why. He assisted us to register as players eligible to play in sanctioned national tournaments. He encouraged us to participate in their Magic nights for fun. Those nights they would use some of the money collected to provide pizza to everyone participating. Haven’t seen him lately. Not to worry.
Tiffany has filled the niche nicely. She’s sweet and knows what you need once she gets to know you. Not pushy to get the sales, she really wants to help you trying hard to do so.
There are constantly many players coming and going playing different games. It can be intimidating some times but if you do, I think you will find many are helpful. It really is more fun to make a friend. Toylynx is one of our friends.

So I came in earlier in the day and a line started to form. Why? Well apparently the person at the counter felt the need to count EVERY single dime that was brought in by a customer that looked like it was rolled by a bank. Granted that people usually get paid by the hour but coming from a customer service background it is so inefficient what this worker was doing. I know I know its summer and I really wasn’t expecting this place to be busy but there was only two people working the counter.
I just don’t know if there was a need to be wasting time in counting dimes when there is other customers that needed to be helped.
Other than that, I do love the establishment. Great prices and selections on cards. Even the more obscure CCGs out there. It’s a really chill atmosphere but I can already see that there really was no need to hustle with customers.
For the most part just be sure to come in with either card or bills or something easier to count. I swear the dimes took close to 20 minutes to count.

Great customer service, great selection of products, and very reasonable prices! Toy Lynx serves the card gaming community well in selection, price, keeping the community active with tournaments, and education by offering previews of newly released card games.
I’m here almost weekly for their card tournamemts, every Thursday and Saturday. The tournaments are well organized and have decent prizes, such as multiple free card packs or free deck boxes.
I love the store worker Brytnie, she’s the cutest! She’s also very knowledgeable of all their products, and makes excellent recommendations.

Thursday April 16, 2015
While exploring The Dole Cannery I came across a shop that had two or three tables set up with a bunch of individuals sitting down. I walked into the shop and noticed that these individuals were trading cards.
I walked towards the glass display and noticed MAGIC. Is it a game? Does it have to do with sorcery? What’s the age limit to play the games? Only a true fanatic of fantasy cards would know what MAGIC is all about. I am so out of the loop when it comes to games.
The shop had a lot of fantasy board games. There were tons of boxes stacked on top of the cabinets. The shop looked almost like a storage container with the exception of the entrance where the customers were sitting down and trading cards.
I also noticed that there were different colors of dice to be sold separately and there were poker chips to be sold as well. Since I was getting thirsty i glanced around the shop and noticed a refrigerator that had Coke products for sale. I bought myself a 20oz Sprite to drink $ 1.75 no tax.
After I purchased my drink I walked back outside and noticed the posters on the windows. They have weekly tournaments or monthly tournaments. This shop is more for the geeks who love to play games. Personally I am more of a book lover or shall I say a bookworm.

Best place to buy/​play trading card games hands down! All the employees are friendly and awesome!

Excellent and wide selection of cards and related merchandise. Location can be hard to find for the uninitiated and there aren’t many other shops around worth visiting. Sonetimes the shop is cramped during events.

I’ve been here before and not had a high or low opinion– just neutral.
Today, I don’t want to say it is different, just better.
First up, in a store that we normally would see a slobbish, white, pimpled– faced, fat, nerd just like in the Simpsons but instead was a pretty young local Asian girl that was completely helpful and attentive. I have no idea what she did to all of the boys to make them sit playing their games at the tables instead of fawning over her incessantly but it worked. No one seemed to pay any attention to her at all.
Inside were a good 30 guys playing magic or a similar card game. I will say this– on the weekends there are a good 30 ish tables full of mostly boys playing in competitions different card games– complete with table set ups and decks full in hands ready to play and keep going til the win or the clock runs out which is placed nearer to Subway usually.
If I could, with the large lottery winnings I make in my dreams, I too would build a mall like Dole that has a huge open area that is sparsely traveled so that many less intense events could take place like card games. It is a great location– easy parking by costco and so under used.
They used to have more toys and more games– now it seems they have focused on what it is that they have the competitions… so they really are focusing in on what they want to do.

Friendly staff. Competition environment is all relax, nothing serious. Wide selection of trading cards like yugioh, magic, vanguard, Pokémon and other card games. Best card shop on the entire island

11÷14÷14: I need to update this review. After the story below, someone from ToyLynx called me. They explained that they made a mistake, and apologized that I had taken a cab and left empty handed. They seemed very genuine, and even sent me a Commander 2014 deck on their behalf to make up for it. I understand that mistakes happen, and I appreciate ToyLynx taking steps to make things right, it makes all the difference.
I called ahead of time to ensure they had the products I wanted. The associate on the phone ensured me that they did, and said she would hold them under my name. Knowing they would have what I needed, I scheduled a cab ride I knew would cost $ 20 round trip, but it was okay because I called ahead. When I arrived they wouldn’t sell me the product. They said the rest were for pre-​orders, and that they could ship it to me later. I explained that the entire reason I paid for a cab and took a break at work was because they had the product. They apologized but still refused to sell. I left with nothing but wasted time, and wasted money. You guys should have just sold me what you told me you had. Instead you have an angry ex-​customer who will not be doing business with you in the future.

Ooo those Weis Scwarz tournaments get intense. I play pokemon, but I wanted to try out Weis Scwarz. I bought three vocaloid packs for 3.50 each. Fair price. I got a 65 pack of card sleeves, for 14.50. Ive never seen them being sold in person other than at a convention. I also bought three more pokemon boosters, the cheapest ive ever seen, at 2.50 per pack! And it was the latest boosters for cheap! They had the older ones too. This is the best tcg store ive been to! I want to say that I has fun shopping here. Beware, there are many otakus that battle here, and the place gets pretty loud and cramped during a tournament.

Ever since Toy’s N Joy’s closed I’ve been looking for a good spot for some old school nostalgia. One of my friends told me to check this store near Dole Cannery out, so I decided to drive by on my lunch break. This is my review…
For me personally it was kind of a let down. I went there expecting to see a different variety of animé/​manga action figures but it appeared they only specialized in playing cards. While I won’t penalize them for not having old school action figures, it would make logical sense for them to carry those things based on their name (Toylynx). I’m sure all the regulars were wondering if I was some type of lawyer when I walked in based on the amount of stares I was given.
They have tables set up everywhere for annual card tournaments (Yugioh, magic, etc…) and literally walls and walls of cards. If I went there looking for booster decks or playing cards I probably would have never left! I wasn’t helped or greeted when I approached the counter but there were pretty busy so no reason to penalize.
If I am ever in the market to get back into playing cards I’m sure this would be the first place to visit. However if you’re looking for figurines or other miscellaneous items then keep on searching.

The girl behind the counter was rude and very short with us. We went to buy a pack of RTR and she gave us a left over pack from the last box when there was a brand new one open. We wanted to pick our own pack but apparently that’s not allowed. I’m sticking to durdles.

I’m definitely a huge fan of Toylynx.
Back in the days, it used to be Jelly’s or Gecko’s that I would go to that would have MTG or Yugioh. But now days, Toylynx is definitely the place to go if you want a huge inventory to select from.
It’s tucked away in the Dole Cannery Plaza, find parking at Home Depot, Costco, in-​between.
The store has something like 5 – 6 rows of tables, that I figure to fit something like 40 – 48 players to play their game of choice. Their front displays all that they have to offer: sleeves, boosters, decks, boxes, etc. It moves to the side of the store where you can make selections from more boxes, and even some random video game/​animé items such as toy figures or Final Fantasy elixirs.
Back to their card selections, they carry the staples of MTG and Yugioh, but other things such as Vanguard and My Little Pony. Yes. If you know what you want outside of boosters or decks, you can make an order either in-​store or at home and pick it up at the store. If you google their store, you’ll get their schedule website. Use this link to check their inventory:
Thank you to Tyler. He was a great help and patient for a relatively new player getting back into it all. He explained and answered the heap of questions I had.
Toylynx is always on my agenda when it comes to my CCG hobby.

Still going. FNMs are run flawlessly and tuesday night magic tournaments are still going strong. Winning here pays out in a ton of packs, these guys (and girls…) are very generous. Best card shop on the island IMO

Very crowded card shop (vanguard/​magic the gathering/​Pokemon, etc…) I tend to play my Magic tournaments at DA Planet location for this very reason. Went to pay my $ 10 fee to be told it was $ 12. Why I asked? Oh it is because we give you a slice of Costco pizza. Really now, I had dinner and I don’t want the pizza, could I pay just the $ 10. Nope. No… No… Still $ 12. Oh well… I guess the $ 2 they made me pay is worth the $ 60 I was about to spend for card protectors, table mat, and cards? Not that I think they will miss my $ 60 because it is always packed with people. I just wished they were more customer service focused.

Great place for tournaments, can be a bit crowded at times though. great selection of cards.

Very friendly staff when compared to the other card/​gamer shops on the island. This place is known for the customer store interactions with each other. The workers actually do show a general interest in what you have to say or what your looking for :) i was even surprised that they remembered my name when I went in there to pick up an order i pre-​ordered a few months later :) highly recommend this place.

If youre a fan of role playing games, this is the place to go. I walked in and there were stacks and stacks of cards all over the place. There are tables as you enter which you can use to look at your cards. They probably use this part for card tournaments and stuff.
I went in just to see what kind of cards they have available and its totally different from when I was a kid.
I guess Magic is still big these days because there was a lot of it!
As far as pricing, not really sure because I dont know what to compare it with. But if my kids ever do want cards, id probably send them over to Toylynx to check it out!

This is where you go to find the COOL Toys! All the rare and hard to get your hands on stuff can be found here! A large selection of Japanese imported toys and animé related goods!
Because they are located at Dole Shopping center parking is rather easy. The staff is great really knowledgeable on the products they have in the shop.
Ask for Mike tell them Khai sent you!
