I have literally been waiting to check out Retro Junk for like 4 years and this weekend was finally…read moremy chance to do so. I was last in the nutmeg stage way back in 2022 when some friends and I drove to Manchester to check this place out, well, we should have checked the hours because it was closed and I wanted to cry. Well, now it's 2026 and a buddy of mine made sure we came on a day they were actually opened and I'm sure glad we did. This store is absolutely perfect from the first room full of arcade machines, on card action figures, and random toys to the video game room full of classics from the Dreamcast, GameCube, and even modern switch stuff. The last room here is vintage shirts and such which I didn't spend much time glancing at, but was a cool edition. It was cool seeing a place in Connecticut filled with old WWF stuff, Big Bad Beetle Borgs, Nintendo Powers, and tons and tons of figures, I wish this place was here when I lived in the area a decade ago. Overall, this is definitely one of my new favourite spots on Connecticut and definitely somewhere I'll be shopping at again on future trips. Even though I left empty handed (can only fit so much back to LA) I already look forward to coming back.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Their selection of items is huge; video games, action figures and items from the 80s and 90s. Value depends on what you purchase. Video games ranged from $4.99-$13. Collector items are worth more so you'll spend more.

BONUS: A 10% off coupon popped up when I checked in on Yelp so be sure to do that! This store is large & it's fun to walk up and down the numerous aisles to check out all the neat stuff they have. Stem/educational items, toys for all ages, games, dress up/costumes, model cars & aircraft, nice train sets/accessories/landscapes for the train lovers. Science kits, environmental science kits, edible science kits.... Kits for budding engineers & architects... a great way to start tapping into your child's natural abilities early on to nurture possible career interests. It just might save a bundle on college if they have a good feel for the type of career they may enjoy. There is a section of adult games in addition to children's games & family games. There is too much to list here so check out some of the items via my photos. There is so much more to see!

The red rocks near this shopping center are unique and interesting to look at, and there are many other great things to do while in the area (they are directly next door to Sweet Frog). The service is acceptable but they seem to be a bit understaffed as is common with big companies these days. The GameStop and PSA grading service is the big seller here for me personally. I have a collection of trading cards that I needed evaluated and the staff was kind and professional when working with me. I have since used this particular service many times and have never been let down. I highly recommend looking into the lesser known services that these folks offer such as mobile phone trade ins and of course the PSA. I have scored a few knickknacks for my collection here as well, also at very reasonable prices that I have never felt cheated by. If you know what you are looking for, or just want to browse to find a new favorite series, game, or toy, this is the store for you.
