They will trip and fall yelping, "I've fallen, and I can't get up!!!" Toys EVERYWHERE. On the floor, ceiling, and surrounding the shop owner to trip on. A nerds dream, and an old person's nightmare. For me, I always find like 1 thing to buy and it's usually a good deal. I picked up some Jurassic Park dinosaurs here. Also, I've sold things here I wasn't using or didn't want. Cool staff

Wow! Prices were very reasonable and on point. The gentleman inside helping us today was very…read morefriendly, helpful, and just great vibe from him and not pushy like other collectible stores. Store has a large variety and amount of items to choose from. Very unorganized, if they were in sections (horror here, wrestling here, dc here, etc) I'd have probably seen more items i wanted and spent more but playing hide and seek was making it a little difficult haha but def would recommend this location.

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.

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!

This store is simply amazing for the train lover!…read more They have everything here that you will ever need. From vintage trains and accessories and tools that you need to repair them, to new trains and toys, paint and plays, this store is a throwback to when everyone collected trains. There's model kits, puzzles and modern toys for the little ones, I particularly loved the vintage section with some older models on display. It's time to just walk around here, i never knew that such a store existed.

Stop in here on a whim we were out for a drive and saw that there was a train and hobby store…read more What a hidden gem. My father was a train collector and he would have loved this store. This story reminded me of the train set up that my father had in our attic. So many trains and accessories , as well as cars, model kits, newer Breyer Horses, dolls, puzzles, and toys for young and old. I could have spent all day here and my husband had to drag me out.

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.

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. :)

There were lots of board and card games of all sorts, as well as dice, miniatures and paints, and a gaming area for community games. I appreciate that the rules for the space are clearly posted on the wall behind the register, so the expectation for everyone is established (I would imagine it makes it easier for staff to enforce as well, because they can just refer to the sign). The clerk was very friendly and gave me some info about a game I was interested in (a collaborative version of "The Fox in the Forest"; my fiance and I love the original version), which I ended up purchasing! Glad to support a local business! I'll be back for more games.

Every time I've ever stopped in, I've been treated kindly & with respect by the staff working there - which is *not* a given when you're a solo guy with tattoos shopping alone, trust & believe that. A really helpful & nice gentleman named Jackson showed me the "buy 1, get one 1 free" deal they were running for some of their paints. He made the process of shopping for/choosing different colors or different formulas really easy, & honored the deal fairly! He was helpful & cool. Anyone who is into wargaming, table top miniatures etc KNOWS that any kind of buy 1, get 1 deal on high end paints like Citadel, Vallejo or Army Painter is an insanely good value. Also, there has always been some kind of community gaming event happening whenever I've stopped in; which tells me it's *clearly* an important hub for the TCG/TWG community. As a hobbyist, grateful to have the store around. (PS, if you stock the new GW Aeldari kits for Lhykhis, Baharroth, or Swooping Hawks, I'd buy them)
