Neeeearrrrr farrrrrrrr whereEVER you areeeeeee
Jenny S.

It was cold. It was rainy. It was perfect Brass Armadillo weather. We had no real plan--just needed to wander and let the aisles speak to us. And speak they did. I go to the Brass Armadillo whether I'm hunting for something specific or just looking to kill time while the weather debates being snow or rain. No matter what, I always walk out with something I didn't know I needed but definitely needed. This time? A graduation gift, a coworker surprise, and a nostalgic sugar rush thanks to their retro candy selection. Nothing screams "treat yourself" like a pack of wax lips and candy cigarettes. We laughed, we reminisced, we said "Oh my gosh, remember THIS?!" at least 40 times. The aisles are basically a time machine, and yes, we took the scenic route through the '80s and '90s. Only gripe? They ask if you're in the rewards program after you pay. That's when you find out you had points or cash to use... which is kind of like learning your scratch ticket was a winner after you've already tossed it. But hey, that's on me. Next time I'll remember I'm basically rich in reward points. All in all, a cozy little adventure. Full of memories, surprises, and enough oddities to make you wonder if time really exists inside that place. Can't wait to come back next time I need something... or nothing at all.

Absolute BEST antique mall I have ever visited! Really well organized and signed. Aisleways with street signs. Multiple employees who are all very helpful, mannerly, pleasant, and knowledgable about the store. Hundreds of different vendors managed like its one store with one purchase location and interface up front like a normal store. Open all 7 days from 9 am to 9 pm! Vendors have a choice of three approaches: 1. Large cubicals down street aisleways for large vendor displays 2. Locked clean and clear glass cabinets down long aisleways 3. Unlocked shelf sets down long aisleways All presented items are easily accessible by customers. The whole multiple thousand square foot store is clean, air conditioned, well lighted, and extremely well organized! Kudos to management on excellent presentation and customer experience! Great bargains to be found! The organization and employees and system makes the experience so easy, pleasant, and enjoyable! No digging thru piles or shelves. Clean well lighted and well appointed restrooms as well!

The Brass Armadillo is half antique mall and half collectibles market (current and vintage) - so there's something for everyone, really. The ambiance is very soporific as you peruse all the aisles and booths. Each aisle has a little street name, so you can remember which aisle you were in if you need to make your way back to a certain booth. There are definitely antiques here, like furniture, clothing, tools, ephemera, toys, and more. So if you're an antique collector, it's definitely a place for you to check out. They also have a lot of booths and cases that are for modern collectibles like Funko Pops, 80s toys, Barbies, figurines, and other items of that nature. If you're on the hunt for a certain collectible or are just wanting a fun activity, looking for treasures or a few weird items to laugh at (the novelization of the movie Face/Off? Yes, please!), then the Brass Armadillo is definitely your ticket!

So many cool things! I spent hours I here while visiting from out of state. Initially I went to visit Highway Vintage Child as I follow her on Instagram. She has excellent taste and sells mostly 60's/70's items. I've bought items from her both online and from her booth. I'd discovered several other well curated booths while visiting and took home a bunch of items! Definitely with a visit!

Looking for something to do that's a little bit different? Even if you don't collect antiques, there's something for everyone at the Brass Armadillo. One of several locations, the store in Omaha is ginormous, which is great for social distancing, especially on weekdays. It's open from 9 to 9 seven days a week. When we visit, Bookguy is looking for sheet music, vinyl, and of course books. We usually split up, each starting at the opposite far end so we can cover the whole space. The times I've roamed the store from end to end, I have to take a nap when I get home! I'm always on the lookout for things I remember growing up with such as polka dot high ball glasses, interesting cookie jars, antique furniture, and art. There's a huge variety of man cave stuff and lots of pop culture collectibles such as Star Wars and vintage advertising. I also often find the perfect gift for family members who have specific collections. They used to have a tiny concession where you could take a break with coffee and a snack, but only a few tables and chairs are left now. For such a huge space, it's easy to find your shopping companions if you get separated. Each aisle is named after a state so you can call your friends to tell them you're waiting in the middle of Wisconsin Ave, for example. There are many glass cases with "smalls" in the front area, some locked, some not. You can easily get a worker to unlock a case if you want a closer look. The staff is very friendly and security conscious with someone at the door at all times. If you happen to find something you just have to have, bring it up to the counter for safekeeping until you're finished shopping. They also wrap fragile items with great care. With well over 300 vendors, it's quite likely you'll find at least one items that trips your trigger.

Love this place. It's HUGE. Only complaint is that it's kind of pricy. It's fairly quiet and people leave you alone. Lots of vintage and antiques.

It was weird seeing the same brand of dinner plates labeled as vintage on one of the shelves.

Okay, so you know how some of these miscellaneous shops don't really have anything cool and they're…read morejust stock piled full with crap. Well, this is not the place. This place is the bees' knees and fun for all ages. You will get lost in every nook and cranny, not only from all the fun, but you literally feel like you're transported back in time. I felt like a kid in a candy store.

If you're looking for a collectible and can't find something here...you're not looking hard enough…read more Lol This store is in the Old Market district of Omaha and was almost overwhelming. At points in my life I have collected comic books, other comic book related items, movie related merchandise, and diecast. This place has all that and more...! Shop smart and take your cell phone to stare and compare. I found a few items reasonably priced, but I found quite a few more that were well above what they could be purchased for online including shipping. One thing about collectibles though... Sometimes it's worth a few dollars more to have it in your hands. I've been surprised a few times when I received items that weren't as described or packaging was damaged in transit. Antiques and collectibles are a different market as a buyer... If you see something you want it's better to buy it right then if it's priced within reason. You may never find that same item again... Old Market is what Old Market is... It's geared to tourists and things are often a little high priced in areas like this. So is their rent usually... These areas attract a high volume of people and if you don't want to pay the marked price...someone who comes in right behind you just might. Some of the items here are a little dusty, but I guess that's to be expected with that many surfaces. Pretty hard to stay on top of all of it... The Imaginarium Old Market Mercantile is defintely worth the stop if you are into collectibles and/or nostalgia!

Let's get this out of the way first: it's a little out of the way. You gotta go down a side street…read moreyou've probably never taken before, then you've got to go around to the back of the building. But it's worth looking for, as you'll probably find something you didn't know you were looking for. What sets Among Other Things apart from all the other shops selling vintage and consignment stuff for the home is that their collection is well-curated. You won't find cheap craft crap; you'll find cool stuff from throughout the last, oh, 120 years or so. Any of it would look good in a well-appointed home. And thank heavens, they haven't completely jumped on the mid-century trend as most other such places have. From chairs to rugs to cards, there's something here for anyone with good taste. (I picked up a fairly recent photography coffeetable book at a reasonable price.) There's also an adjoining women's vintage clothing store (unfortunately, nothing for guys). While the location might be a little tough to find at first, it's one to put on your radar. (And not far from NFM, so any time you're thinking of visiting them, stop by here, too.)

The owner has nice taste, and does a great job updating lamps with new shades she makes herself…read more But I find a lot of the items are far more than I'd be willing to pay, and I have a budget much higher than most people's. Especially when you can find comparable items at a thrift store. As a result some items have been there for quite some time. I love that she also carries some local artists' works. But again, overpriced for what they are. The store is quite crowded, I don't think a stroller could fit through some of the walking paths. I worry about bringing my big purse in. Overall, it's a fun place to peruse, but after many visits, I've yet to pull the trigger on buying anything.
