My wife and I love whimsy and I'm a Star Wars fan too - so we came to the right spot. Tons of toys and collectibles for every age group. Part toy store and adjacent Toy Museum, both are fabulous to wander through and spend a half hour or so. The staff was excellent and friendly, and informative about the history of the toys in the store. Enjoyed talking of shared Star Wars experiences too without hesitation! Outstanding store in lovely downtown Victoria. read more

Ok, WOW! Frickin', just, WOW! This store is/was everything I wanted it to be. We stumbled in with zero expectations, and it's just wall-to-wall cool stuff! If you're interested in anything toy centric, this place is completely boss! I found a Funko Pop that I'd been wanting, normally only found in 3-pack, all by his lonesome. Also, the guy that helped me recommended a great place for poutine, and other cool stuff to do around town. Total score! read more

Love this place! Shopped here many times and found lots of treasures, but this most recent visit was to check out the toy museum inside. Wonderful trip down memory lane and so much to see. Great value for the reasonable entry fee. Highly recommended. read more

These guys did me a huge solid and gave me a bunch of miniature toys for next to nothing. Really helps me amp up my next dnd campaign. Thanks very much for the excellent service! read more

The BEST new and vintage toy & collectables shop on the island. (Also possibly the best in the country !). Family owned and operated, the shop is also home to the National Toy Museum. The staff are all unbelievably friendly and awesome people. Everyone is welcome at Cherry Bomb. Highly recommend you visit this shop ! read more

Cherry Bomb Toys - Exterior of the store - Toy Stores Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

A treasure chest of goodies welcomes you when you pass though the doorway. It's a store one should not miss when in Victoria, if your a collector of any age. The Toy Museum is totally worth the visit and transforms a few times a year. read more

OH MY GOD!!! BEST. STORE. EVER!!! That was my first thought when I walked into Cherry Bomb. I was a thirty-something year old kid reliving my childhood, but this time I had a credit card with my name on it. Star Wars, Transformers, G.I. Joe, TMNT, He-Man, LEGO, Ghost Busters, you name it, they seemed to have it. The staff were all really friendly and outgoing, and they didn't have that 'comic book/music store' snobby attitude. You know, the attitude you get when you go into a shop and because you don't know the name of the guy who did the ink on the third edition of some completely vague comic, you're not worthy of their help attitude. I'll be back to Cherry Bomb in the very near future. I'm looking forward to buying back my original Star Wars figures that my parents were kind enough to sell for me at a garage sales for 50 cents each, albeit at a slightly inflated price. read more

Cherry Bomb Toys - Vintage 1982 Return of the Jedi, TIE Fighter pilot (Death Star not included) - Toy Stores Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Loved reminiscing at old toys. Didn't recognize all of it, but it was fun seeing the stuff I did recognize. It's a shop down below and a museum of collections/collectibles upstairs. All based on donations to make the museum bigger. They have a lot of Star Wars stuff, but I'm glad they had a section of Star Trek stuff so I could get something for my dad's birthday. I wasn't too familiar with the Star Trek character, so the owner helped me through all the collectible characters. He was so nice. Because I was trying to get a set, he gave me a deal. He also gave me a deal on some Power Rangers stuff. He said, "That's too much for this! Let me knock down the price." He didn't laugh too hard when I got confused on some of the Star Trek characters... Such a cool shop and a cool owner! Definitely want to come back next time for some Sesame Street/Muppets stuff!!!!! read more

Great cozy toy store with lots of fun stuff. I particularly enjoyed the toy museum upstairs, found several treasures from down memory lane (see photos). Owner is a nice guy and very knowledgeable!

What an amazing experience! Such attention to care and details! My son was extremely happy! Thank you!

This is a toy stores with tonnes of cool vintage toys such as GI Joe, Star Wars, Transformers. Certainly for children of the 70's and 80''s. Very cool! Worth the trip! read more

I Love Cherry Bomb Toys!!! They have toys I remember having as a kid. I find that all prices are comparible as well as lower than going through online sources. Twice a year I look forward to the Ultimate Toy Fairs they put on. You can find almost anything toy related there, used rare and new items alike. It can be hard to visit the store the following days only because they have to restock the store with all the wonderful items they had at the show. I'm always greeted when I walk through the door with a warm hello (aside from the busy day, but I still get a greet when the staff can spare a moment from other toy enthusiasts) and asked if there is a certain item I'm looking for, which by now they know is Lego and the 6 inch female superheroines figures. If your looking for that toy you had fond memories of when you where a child, you have to make this your first stop on your epic quest! read more

AMAZING!! We live in Texas and visited Victoria BC as part of a cruise and heard about this store online. My husband and I were beyond impressed with Cherry Bomb Toys! They had an amazing selection of toys for collectors, enthusiasts and big kids at heart. They also had a museum upstairs that had many toys, action figures and one of a kind items on display. It made our trip to Victoria amazing! The owner of the shop is the most honest and friendly business owners I have ever met, he was very informative and I learned a lot about some of our favorite TV shows, Star Wars, and even Studio Ghibli. He even took the time to tell us about Victoria and even gave us directions after we left the store. We got a MOTU action figure, a Studio Ghibli shirt, and more! Prices are very reasonable and we will definitely be making a trip back to Nerdvana and Cherry Bomb Toys. read more

Great toy shop! Both the guys were cool and willing to help with anything. Super excited we got to visit this place...it really brought me back to good memories as a child! Authentic and legit read more

LOVE LOVE LOVED shopping in here. Me and my boyfriend spent a good couple of hours looking around in here. I wish I got the name of the man who was working that day. He was super friendly and you could tell he loved his job. The museum part wasn't open when we were there, so that will bring us back very soon. I highly suggest checking out this store. read more

TOTALLY amazing! For the kid in us. Esp. for the kids, that grew up in the 70's and 80's- best selection of transformers, GI joe, star wars, he-man, etc. Great stuff and the prices aren't too crazy for us wanting some of our childhood back read more

This store is amazing: a huge collection of vintage and recent toys, mostly action figures but some statues. The staff was friendly and knowledgable. I only wish I had more time and room in my bag. And there's a free museum upstairs with a great collection (Visionaries!) read more

Interesting, fun, and the staff there were very engaging and informative. They LOVE what they do and they love to talk about it. Really a GREAT experience. I only wish the rest of my party wanted to explore each nook and cranny as I did. I could have spent hours there! read more

Fun store! Lots of current and retro collectibles. Store proprietor, B., is super-friendly, and great to chat with.

The best place I have found on the west coast for vintage toy collectibles. Also a very big fan of their Toy shows they do twice a year a perks. The owner operators have an excellent knowledge base of collectibles. read more
