This is a great model shop. They have cement models, snap models, models from the right now, models…read morefrom the back then, and models from the right now that look like they're from the back then. Do you need decals for whatever reason? They have a big free bin near the front. Do you need cement? What types? There are so many! And, if you don't know, the guys who work there do, and they will make sure you walk away with what you need. If you've been thinking about giving models a go, or are just looking for a place that has shelves lined with them, this is where you want to go. It's hard to believe that a brick and mortar like this place still exists, but it's wonderful that it does!

I was here on a long layover from my airline job. Decided to get a Lyft to check this store. They…read morehave an amazing inventory of model kits. Very well organized and fair prices. I found things that my local hobby shops in Kansas City do not carry and bought them. The guys running the store are knowledgeable and very helpful. If you build plastic model kits, this place is a must to visit.

I visited the store in Mississauga and was immediately impressed by the layout and incredible…read moreselection. I was after a somewhat obscure NiCad battery for an old RC car that I was giving to my nephew. Lots of staff available and I was served right away. At first we determined that I might need a newer battery and charger (which was more expensive that I had planned) but one of the guys said 'let me try to find a NiCad for you' and he did. It ended up costing me much less than the first option but the goodwill to me as a customer was priceless. They solved my problem and saved me money. I will be back and I will recommend it to friends. Thanks Guys!

Great selection of model supplies like kits (military and cars), styrene, paint, glues, etc. Good…read moreslot car selection - and incredible Carrera selection including cars, buildings, and track.

And they remember you there! This has been my go to place for such a long time (even just to pop in and look at all the eye candy). Get your kids in here parents. You'll know why once you step inside!

Great hobby store . The owner Derry realy very…read moreknowledgeable. He won't try to over sell you staff. This place has most cars and he can order in stuff very quickly. Great support if you don't know how to do it your self. As a bonus there's a indoor track for drifting. For a small fee of $10.00 you can spend a few hours there having fun with others. Great hobby.

I've been shopping at Galaxy on and off for the last 6 years or so. The owner, Derry, is probably…read moreone of the nicest hobby store owners I've ever met. This man knows customer service! His shop is filled with lots of spare parts for the popular r/c brands (traxxas, hpi) along with a few dozen of rtr's and kits. He may not have the vast selection some of the other hobby shops in Mississauga have, as his shop isn't the largest, but he will order anything in for you and actually call you to let you know when it has arrived. His prices are in line with everyone else too. If you're in the area and run r/c cars or trucks, Galaxy should be your LHS.

Glad to see Silly Goose Kids back open! The shop feels fresh but still has the same friendly vibe…read more Found a few great things I was looking for, always a fun place to visit. Happy they're back in the neighbourhood.

News was buzzing around my mom group about this new baby toy store on the east Danforth that was…read moresupposed to be really cool, so on an outing I decided to check it out with a mom friend. Silly Goose Kids is smart for a couple of reasons: 1) Its run by people who have been in the kids retail business (and they're mothers) for years so they get what consumers want and they know their products well. 2) They have a wide range of toys for a wide range of budgets and also carry feeding accessories and clothing. 3) They are thisclose to Cake Town Cafe (http://tinyurl.com/3cl3raj) which means I, and many other moms will be traveling there many times dosed with scone-y goodness and bleary eyed from lattes willing to buy anything that will make our screaming infants STFU for 15 minutes while we enjoy our sugar high. And the best part: I didn't feel pressured to buy anything despite letting my whiny sleep-deprived 10 month old destroy the entire train set table and back a ride-on car right into a display. You know, cause destroying a toy store is a nice break from chewing up all the books in the library. Parenting is all about providing variety!

Likely the largest model railway store in the country and apparently one of the largest in North…read moreAmerica for that matter. That alone is almost enough to award them 5 stars. The place is also nice and open, orderly and clean. Staff are super friendly. I've been here a couple times, and if I'm honest I haven't made any notable purchases. However, my son has been fascinated with trains from the earliest age - so he's almost reached heaven when he enters. The have two running model train layouts. One of them being a bit more oriented for children, and the other one the more typical heavily detailed layouts which would've required countless hours to complete. The staff are happy to getting the start the trains and it's a special moment for my son. It's not a cheap hobby, and the prices may surprise you if you aren't familiar, but I'm sure anyone involved in it is already aware of this. They do however have a few things scaled down in price, and they sell some of the wooden Thomas trains as well. Good on them for supplying and supporting a unique market, and coming from a family with trains in our legacy, I hope they continue strong.

You want it? They got it! The staff is knowledgeable, anxious to help but never in your face…read more Want help? They are right at hand. Don't want help? That's OK as well! A bit out of the way but drop-in traffic is probably not a big factor in their business model. Don't let their geographical situation deter you. Special orders are handled quickly and efficiently. A great selection of books and other documentary materials. If the prices seem high, well, nothing in any hobby is cheap! Check around! Accessible!

Had a poor experience with this store. They sold me a defective deck box, and when I went to…read moreexchange it, they told me they couldn't do that since it had been opened. There would have been no way to know it was defective without opening it. Then they told me to "speak to Konami about that," knowing very well that's basically an impossible task. I would have spent much more money at the store, but they chose to scum me over $3. Would not recommend.

Their customer service is excellent, the staff is helpful and friendly, and the community is always filled with people who will make you laugh. They offer a wide variety of trading cards and other collectibles. They have other merch they offer as well, from action figures to sports merch to even board games. They also regularly hold events which many dedicated people come out to attend. I wholeheartedly reccomend Dolly's for a great time.

Another week passes with no shipping and they had no interest in actually filling the order. They were slow to respond to my questions, didn't actually have the product in stock and didn't have the balls to admit it. They were quick to refund the order so that is something I guess. What a waste and pathetic excuse for a business.

I'm a huge comic book fan and collect tons of toys and figures, but this place and their overpriced…read morestock rarely if ever gets my business. Although not that much closer, if you shop Silver Snail or 401 games, they offer much cheaper games, toys and statues with much better service. They do have a lot of old stock here for older toys and figures that came out years ago, but this is probably due to their high prices and the fact no one is buying the products. The store also could use a cleaning as it is cluttered with toys and comics all over the place. Not in a good way, in a way that makes you not feel like browsing the aisles and just leaving instead. I'll take my business to 401, the Snail, Comics and More or even the beguiling instead. Much nicer staff and non scalper prices.
