    True Believers (Located inside Menlo Park Mall)…read more55 Parsonage Rd. Edison, NJ 08837 If you are a millennial and want to relive your past time, this vintage toy store is right up your alley. This location specializes in action figures, statues, retro home consoles, and other keepsakes. As I entered the store, it had the feel of a museum because many items are not available in retail stores. I was especially impressed with the detail of the action figures. The characteristics of each trait are handcrafted perfectly and I can guarantee you will instantly recognize each specific trait. There is a diverse variety of additional merchandise in True Believers. An entire wall is filled Funko Pop! vinyl figures. Although I don't collect any cards, there are many Pokémon trading cards available; they are surprisingly valuable. The video game systems will also keep you entertained. Engage in the Game Boy or neutralize the bad guys with the Nintendo Zapper; now you are playing with power! Although I currently am not in the market for any novelties, it was still a neat experience exploring this store. It is a must visit for true believer that is young at heart. #truebelievers #menloparkmall

The store looked clean, and some areas are organized while other areas were a mess. Pricing: The prices can vary depending on what kind of item you are looking to purchase. Some items are bit overpriced for no reason at all. Items: They have all sorts of items from Funko pops, plushies, video games, hot wheels, Pokemon cards, and etc. The staff: They do not know where the items come from and say that people just sell them anything. When you ask them about selling a toy to them, they give you mixed information. One staff member said to contact them on Facebook on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Another staff member said to contact them on Instagram on Monday and Thursday. When you ask them if it would be cash or store credit they say either is fine. They also do not guarantee that your item can be sold to them even though they say that they buy anything and everything. Overall: The staff members should be knowledgeable about their store and the items they buy and sell. This store is good if you want to buy something once or twice but not all time due to the high pricing for some items.

Very helpful with questions about the tea and interacts in casual conversation. They even provide free face masks and hand sanitizer. The Ginger Tea is incredibly warming on a cold winter day. Not sweet at all with the perfect amount of ginger! You get the warmth from the hot tea followed by a nice warm kick from the ginger. Love it! I can't wait to go back just for this. Located smack in the middle of Main Street it's hard to find parking but the perfect location to pop in if you're wandering Main Street. Or if this place is your destination you're luck because you're surrounded by tons of local shops to browse for the rest of your morning/afternoon. Inside the store is really quaint and cozy but well lit so you can see what you're shopping. The shelves are organized very well by product. There's games, puzzles, greeting cards, jewelry, tea sets, and much more! Past the games is the counter to order tea. Tons of seating spots, even kiddie seats and tables. The window display has this beautiful winter Christmas scene to add a sprinkle of festiveness to the place! If I wasn't recommended to this place by someone I would've missed it, it's hard to tell from the outside all the things it has to offer.

    Updated, I love this shop and the people who work there, they are friendly, reasonably priced and…read morethe shop is well organized and its easy to find what you're looking for and comfortable if you're just browsing. Mike the owner is very accommodating and it very fair to sellers when making offers to buy their books. (Often explaining how much they would be resold for an makes a reasonable offer based on that price). Mike and Jackie have excellent knowledge about Comics, Toys and Funco Pops and serious collectors shop there weekly because of them. I'm at a total loss for why there are some bad reviews here, Yes they have a sign that they are always buying, but you are best calling ahead and asking when the owner is in (which is almost all the days). As he is the one that will make the best offer and he really knows what sells well and doesn't. (Avoid Sundays and Mondays if you are there to sell your collection). Word to the wise, when selling a collection, it is always best to call ahead, see when the best time to visit is and see if they are interested in your collection. If they are, this is a great place to deal with as you won't get robbed. Naturally they are a business and need to stay profitable and need to buy at a rate that allows them to mark it up, but you aren't going to walk in with a rare comic that is worth $500 and walk out with 20 dollars, I've seen Mike buy and he is very honest. (Sometimes that means that he has to refuse to buy items that he can't sell, and other times people walk out with much more than expected. A reviewer complained about parking during a snow storm. My feeling is that the person with the car parking problem wasn't even dealing with the people who own the comic shop, probably from another business or an irate person who is a customer of the vacuum shop. Another reviewer said that they didn't feel comfortable there and I find this hard to fathom, I've always felt comfortable there and noticed that they treat their regular customers like family, often knowing about them, their jobs and families and remembering to ask them about things that they have shared about their lives (Changing Jobs, Children's health, Weddings, loss of family members, etc.).

I was certainly…read moreimpressed with how clean and organized the store was, along with their overall collection of back-issue books. So, I spent some time going through most of their bins. Unfortunately, the condition of those back-issue books rarely reflects the significantly higher prices they charge. As an avid comic collector and seller myself, I'm well aware of market value. And their prices are well -above- market value. Keep in mind, this is only regarding their back issues. The new release section had standard new-release pricing and was well stocked. So if I ever decide to visit again, it will only be for the new releases and nothing else.

Location wise it was a little tough to locate , as there were no boards . Parking was ok. They had some at the backside .. great service and quick billing . They don't accept credit cards . Pay by cash or zelle .. When we went a lot of doll sets were gone .. the left out ones were good but not the best .. especially with budget dolls less than 40-50$.. they were ok. Not that good. The more expensive ones were so good and looked very pretty. My friends bought a lot of dolls but I didn't want to spend that much (100$ plus). Not much of options though to buy golu dolls . Wanted to give 3.5 but gave a 4 star ..

Being avid…read moreGolu shoppers, we are certain that this store has the most well-curated, aesthetically beautiful (and traditional), and unique bommais across the US at very reasonable prices. In addition to that, they also bring the trending bommais of every year here. Ramji sir is very helpful in selection, and shares media or info promptly. Last and most importantly, their shipping is impeccable. They have shipped various clay (more fragile) and paper mache bommais with great care and packaging without an incident. If you're looking to purchase Golu in the US, look no further. This is the best place I know of and can personally recommend. UPDATE on 9/23 after two packages received within a week, feedback as sent to Mr. Ramji - Received all the Bommais today and just undid the packaging. All looking exquisite and of beautiful craftsmanship. Thanks for the Bulletproof packing, can't imagine how painstaking it was but it's even better than what you would get from India My turmeric packets from NJ are growing as well, it's a sweet traditional touch. Also really appreciate the extra large trash bag, it's an instant motivation to clear up what we would usually end up procrastinating!
