In an ever shrinking world of brick & mortar toy stores, we were happy to find this place. Packed…read morewith every sort of game, activity & art you can imagine. Animals, science experiments, spy detective gear, wacky inventions, tiny 3d printed fidgets. Fun place to explore at every turn. My kids enjoyed picking out toys with their gift cards. Good value. Welcoming staff. Hope to return again.

Parking can be a bit of a Hassle if you come to the downtown during their busy season at random parts of the day. We found a few things that we liked here. Staff here was friendly and knowledgeable. Plenty of families were in the store too. Featured a plethora of kids games, family games, hobby games, plush animals and unique toys and gifts I've never seen at a store before. Overall solid recommendation for a toy store

There's nothing like an adult in a toy store. When you adventure in it can be overwhelming at first…read morebut as you look around you start to find so many gems for all ages. From educational toys to board games and more. They also have blind boxes for those who are into those. I ended up getting a magnetic train for my little one to learn how to spell his name. Each piece was $7/each but I've seen some worth way more elsewhere. We bought a few things and some of them we were sticker shocked by but overall super happy to support a local business rather than a big box store. Plus our little man seems thrilled with all of his toys!

The owner came over to greet me, very kind. He seems like the type of person who presents himself as in case you need assistance. He grabbed a Moon ball and he bounced the tiniest fiery ball it went up higher that part I laughed aloud, well we both did. I brought it and it is one of my favorites The prices are reasonable for its quality.

Owner, Mike, is friendly and entertaining - and a record-holding juggler! He must be a good boss…read morebecause his (also friendly and helpful) staff has not changed in the years I've been shopping here. The team is great at suggesting collaborative or competitive games for your friends and family--whatever your budget. The selection is always changing, so I pop in frequently to see what's new and to ask him to teach me how to play the game! When they don't have what I want in stock, they can often order it for me. This most recent visit we played *Oh My Pigeon* as I was seeking games that could be fairly easily explained to foreign visitors.

Clearly at one point it was a record shop (the name gives it away of nothing else), and there's still a case of them in the middle of the room, but it's been subsumed by the mass quantities of toys and memerobilia that are crammed into this small storefront! Got a cartoon, sci fi film or other cult classic that you like? Chances are they have something from it. (I even saw a Danger Mouse figurine...does anyone aside from me remember that show?!) Edge your way through the quagmire of collectibles and take your time looking! The only thing I didn't find that I was seeking? Micro Machines! (Not the Star Wars etc. ones; just the old school mini cars. They did have lots of Hot Wheels though.) This place was pretty crowded on a week-end (read: 5 or 6 customers at once, which given the space was practically overflowing). Worth a stop if you are nearby, or a trip if you are a big collector!

Terrible customer service. Terrible prices! Holy crap. $50+ for a plastic model kit? Ridiculous…read more Same for other items. Crabby guy behind the counter won't even look up at you when you try to talk to him. Ask for help or advice? Nah. Crab ass A-hole. Will never go back there. Lombard Hobby will go above and beyond for you. Same for Hobbytown in Schaumburg. Keep your money and shop elsewhere. I'm genuine surprised at how many google reviews complain about their customer arrive and prices. You'd think if they shit on people, and get bad reviews, they would do better. Guess not. Guess they don't want my money. And they don't need yours.

They usually have the summer packages and season's greetings as well. There's also posters, fans, stationary, etc. From my visits so far, I purchased Seventeen's Season's Greetings, Astro's "All Light," and Seventeen's "Boys Be." All of their albums are in great condition, and they usually have more in the back. And if it's a newer album, it usually comes with a free poster! If you're a kpop fan, definitely visit this store! They also have a lot of anime stuff and kawaii products. :)

The Stratford Square location is probably my least favorite of the three I frequent. It has about the same anime selection that the Fox Valley store has (which is nowhere near as good as the Yorktown store). There seems to be less variety in the Sanrio/cute stuff, too. I think, overall, this store feels smaller than the others. Also, there's a woman who works here that tends to glare at people sometimes. I think she suspects everyone of stealing or something. Which, I'm sure, she sees a lot of in a store like this... but it doesn't really make for a comfortable shopping experience for the honest folks like me! Still, I love Too Cool and shop in one of their locations whenever I get the chance to. It's a very awesome store.
