Level Up Gaming

If you need a card shop/​game shop to go to this is the place! They have the best selection and wide range of various card games, animé, comics, manga, etc!

Friendly staff — relaxed place with tons of animé, RPG, board games, as well as wide variety of game related gifts — has huge area with tables and gamers playing RPG games. Be warned — you can get stuck in here for a long time browsing because they have lots of cool stuff.

Great shop. I’m always on the look out for gaming stores and I was excited to discover this new one in Oceanside. Level Up Gaming has a solid selection to meet any addicts needs: gaming events, animé, cosplay, board games, trading cards, posters, manga … the list goes on and on.
I was really surprised to see their selection of Gundam models. I have been building these since the 1980’s, but back then you could only get them by ordering them directly from Japan. They are my favorite Japanese export next to sushi and haiku.
I’m not sure how I missed this place for so long as it opened up in Feb’15, but I’m glad it’s here. This is an excellent addition to the North County gaming presence in SD.

I went in looking for cheap packs of Magic The Gathering cards to buy for the boys at a group home where I work. The manager donated several packs, so generous. What a kind way to be a part of the community. I will certainly go back. This act of kindness will keep the boys busy and add to their quality of life more than he will ever know. Thank you!!! No more buying cards for my kids online.

Nothing but the best around the area! Best prices from Singles on Magic and Pokemon to the booster boxes they sell. When it comes to Animé, there is nothing but variety. There is everything from MTG, Yu-​gi-​oh, Pokemon, Pathfinder and Table top board games. When it comes to the staff its nothing but welcoming. Walking in is just smiles and the atmosphere is straight up happy. Its honestly a place that brings Oceanside together!

Finally a game and animé store I don’t have to drive so far, I can just walk there! Customer service is great and the prices aren’t so bad! Love to just hang out, the atmosphere is great!

Alright! We are so lucky that Level Up opened here in Oceanside. I have made one purchase so far. A Sailor Moon wand necklace. Cheap materials but low price so that works for me. Also an Adventure Time Gunther key chain. Very good quality. Their selection of the larger fandoms is great! If you’re looking for something a little more off the wall I’m not sure if you will find it here but I was pleasantly surprised at what they did have. It’s essentially a basic con gift shop down the street from you at all times. They have a large gaming floor with tables and chairs and events going on during the week. They encourage customers to just hang out and play table games which is an excellent way to attract business. Manga and animé selection is smaller but still varied enough considering all that they have in the space. Clothing is pretty much intended for sizes 2 – 6 on women’s items and S, M, L on unisex sweatshirts from what I see hanging on the racks.
Great selection overall. Will recommend and frequent for gifts.

New favorite hobby shop, definitely a new regular. Store smells GOOD. Now, this is something which is needed to be pointed out, most shops smell bad. The manager, Tony is a great guy. Facilitates a good atmosphere, making everyone feel welcome. Had a good conversation with him and the rest of the staff. I haven’t even mentioned the large stock of cards (several games) board games, and animé merch. From what Tony tells me it’s jut the beginning. If you don’t believe me, give the shop a visit!

My husband and I discovered this store yesterday and we’re so glad we found it!
We were impressed with the variety of EVERYTHING, especially their card and animé sections.
Plushies, hoodies, decorations, games and a big space to play whatever or just hang out.
The staff was SUPER friendly from the moment we walked into the store and helped us all the time we were there.
And as a plus (big plus), the prices are the best, definitely not overpriced like other stores in the area.
We’re definitely coming back.

This place is so awesome! What makes this place great is the friendliest and helpfulness of the employees. They have an amazing selection of Animé stuff. But my favorite section of the shop is thier card and game area. They have a great selection of Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, Vanguard and Yu Gi Oh cards.
I also want to thank Tony for taking the time to teach me how to play Magic the Gathering.
I will definitely be shopping here again.
