Livingstone and Cavell was my go-to place for special toys but since that closed I was interested…read morein the reputation of Castle Toys. We found everything we needed. Some wooden puzzles, inclusive dolls, fun craft projects, a fidget device that could be taken to school and some animal toys. The variety is colourfully overwhelming and I almost got dizzy from turning in circles to take everything in. I'd be terrified to take kids here as I wanted one of everything and I haven't been a kid in decades! I will absolutely be back.

Although not advertised as such this IS an Adult Toy Store where children are obviously not…read morewelcome. The Castle is reigned over by a King with an overwhelming distain for children. My Wife and I took our extremely well behaved 3 year old grandson there on his birthday to pick out a toy and as children do he left three items on the floor where he had been looking at them and before I had a chance to pick them up the Ogre of the store aggressively told us to contain our child as he was not going to allow him to "ransack" his store. I asked him what his problem was as our Grandson was not running unattended nor ransacking to which he said THEY are not allowed to touch things because it leaves marks and then other people will not buy them. He continued babbling on in a very condescending manner at which point we advised him that the items we had already selected we no longer wanted and we left. My Wife told me later the Toy Nazi treated her the same way a few years ago when she shopped there with our other Grandson We went on to have a very positive experience at the Discovery Hut in Chinook Mall where the staff had no issue picking up things stating "it's part of our job, they are kids and this IS a Toy Store afer all" They also appreciated the $200 we spent that I am so thankful we didn't give to Hastle Toys!

Hard cover at a reasonable price $23.00. I did the look through at knickknacks all over the store, I ended up buying a couple of candles. That and I get points towards my next purchase. Staff friendly and very helpful through out the store

This new hobby shop has opened where the old dollar store used to be. The store is simple with a…read morefresh coat of paint and new fixtures. A large chunk of the store is board games. You won't find Monopoly here, but you will find the popular games that many of the large toy stores don't carry like Dominion, Munchkin, Catan, etc. On the back wall there is a solid selection of Ravensberger puzzles and in the front corner of the store has a healthy comic book rack. The far side of the store contains Warhammer paraphernalia. They have three tables set up with terrain along the far wall. The majority of the Warhammer stock is 40K so if you're a base player, you'll find the selection limited. I overheard the owner talking to some customers that he likes to hear what people are talking about before he orders stock in so if you want something, ask.

One of the best comic stores I've ever been in. Friendly staff and a large selection of comics…read more But the best part of this store is the displays of figurines! I've never seen such variety and craftsmanship. I brought a friend who isn't a collector and he said he could stay for hours. It was just amazing to see from an art standpoint. Bought some reprints for dirt cheap. I like to hang them on my walls. They had an X-Men #1 from 1963 reprint I've been looking for for a long time. They had lots of them...I regret not picking up another for a friend while there. I totally agree with other reviewers in here: I love the way they have organized the shop. Marvel over here, DC over there, etc. This shop is a must visit if you're in Calgary!

We finally left I said good bye and nothing was said back. We just went online and bought the sideshow stuff off there, it must be pretty nice for a store not to need our business in this economy. We will never be going back also I don't think they are LGTBQ2 friendly.

Books? I guess. Sunday is an odd little storefront in the…read morePacific Place mall in the Northeast. I say odd because the products available seem to be about a 50/50 split of children's toys on the one side, and DVDs and magazines with a distinctly "adult appeal" on the other side. Fun for the whole family, I suppose you could say. The fun's taking place in different rooms at different times, of course, but everyone's happy regardless. So, if you always found it a nuisance having to make two separate trips to buy your children toys and yourself erotica, Sunday is your perfect solution.

The selection of games is impressive and you could spend a lot of time browsing. My only beef is…read morethat most of the games on the wall units are faced sideways so you have to tilt your head to read the boxes. It's a little brutal and takes away from the fun of looking. I found myself spending more time checking out games in the middle of the store. There were a lot I've never seen before and a few would be really great for parties because they are simple and don't require a board. The staff person didn't address me at all and mostly hung out in the store entrance, watching the mall folk. It seemed a little weird. You certainly won't encounter a pushy salesman here.

Games People Play is, like I said, a fan-flippin-tastic store that carries not only every game you played growing up, but every game you've imagined, desired and craved. For instance, they carry a selection of Monopoly games that I hadn't even dreamt of. I'm talkin' 'Chocolate-Opoly', 'Brew-Opoly' and 'Dino-Opoly'. Where else are you going to find a million different kinds of one of your favourite childhood games? Plus do you remember the glow-in-the-dark stars and planets we used to post on our ceilings growing up? Well, this place has got those, along with puzzles, card games, board games and cribbage galore. The staff is ouber helpful and it's hard not to spend hours on end here reliving your childhood. I absolutely love this store. The next time I'm hosting a party, ALL the entertainment will be courtesy of this gem of a store.

I have an account where they will order whatever comic I want, just browse through the giant preview magazine. They seem pretty good for being able to hunt down single issues too.

Definitely worth a visit, even just to look.
