My husband is an avid collector of Transformers. And Toy Town has a small selection of it…read more Transformer Blokees are my husband's new addiction so we stopped in to see if any were available. We have gone through a few of the Blokees series so it was cool to see that they have the newest series available. This is my first time in and I was overwhelmed by all the fun things to look at. My toys of choice is Hello Kitty, anything cute and plushies. I did see an option of Hello Kitty figures but I already have them. I was mesmerized by the cute boba and cotton candy plush. My favorite section of the store was towards the front where the smaller toys and gadgets were at. I love playing with little things and there's quite a few options available. My husband ended up getting a few Blokees blind boxes. I got a squishy boba toy. It was just Valentine's day so I didn't have the heart to ask my husband for the 50 dollar plush. I will have to grab it the next time we are in if it's still there. I would say this could have been a flawless experience but the customer service wasn't there. What confuses me is when people work at fun stores like a toy shop like this, a bakery or candy shop and their customer service is meh. With such a fun venue, good think that someone who is checking you out is happy and smiling. Or maybe I'm just expecting too much out of someone. This toy store is dope. Lots of fun things to see, touch and buy. There's a great variety of options so you're guaranteed to find something for that special someone. It makes my husband happy so that's a great bonus point. Maybe the next time we come in, there might some Hello Kitty options and the customer service will be friendlier.

Ok! This place is amazing! So random too to be located in the mall. It's like a trip down Nostalgia…read moreLane! Holy shit! I was so excited to just stumble across this place yesterday. Remember back in the 80's, 90's, 2000's going to the mall and having stores like Sam Goody, Virgin Records, or Borders Books and Music?! How much fun that was! Was always exciting for us 90s kids to spend some time in any music store back then, getting the newest CDs, going through the insert & then basically memorizing the entire cd in a matter of days lol...as long as it was good haha! In the late 90s and early 2000s I ran a music store and then mid 2000's worked at a Hastings in Flagstaff. This place is VERY similar to Hastings. Aww I miss Hastings. What a great store. Music stores in general I miss so much. tons of CDs, Blu-ray's, and DVDs. Pretty sure I saw a shit load of games as well. LOTS of stuff to go through! It was busy as hell in there too which made me even happier to see. Used or not, what a fantastic place and I am so happy it's in existence. Even if it doesn't last as long as it should, it's wonderful to see it and to see so many people there and going through the music and whatnot. I didn't get to interact with the staff. They were busy. I only saw one employee. Hopefully he wasn't the only one there bc it was definitely busy. I get the crowds there have to do with Christmas shopping, BUT! seeing the store and the tons of people there, it gives me hope. Want a cool little flashback to the 90s when life was incredible..and the music was top tier...check this store out. Just getting traffic in there will help keep this place going. Maybe it's pop-up? Who knows. I love it. Thanks for reading, YelperEntertainerees! Cheers!

Nerds Unite! I first read about EntertainMart via one of the apps I follow for new businesses…read more To see EntertainMart through my eyes of complete nerdiness was something else entirely. Let's start with the basics of what they have DVDs CDs Records Movie Posters Funko POPs! Anime Comic Books Manga Baseball Cards Pokemon Cards Game Systems and their cartridges I was browsing the Funko POPs! when my brother yells from across the store, 'Yo Bro! Check this out!' I was thinking he found something that I probably had seen before but not today! There was a section of classic Atari 2600 game cartridges. Here are some of them as of Sunday Adventure Battlezone Centipede Crystal Castles Defender Football Joust Pele's Soccer Star Raiders Yar's Revenge but wait there were more... Activision game cartridges as of Sunday were Boxing Dolphin Enduro Dragster Tennis Freeway Kaboom! Pitfall! Starmaster Stampede and Barnstorming Oh Lordy! A flood of memories hit me like a Kaboom! bomb. I was instantly transported back to my sweaty teenage room of the early 1980s, with my Atari 2600 connected to a small black and white television that had a rabbit ear antenna. If by chance you were able to get a high score on one of the Activision games, and then take a picture with a polaroid, you could send it to Activision for a game patch. Each game had its own unique patches. For Freeway, the patch was from the 'Save the chicken foundation' and featured a chicken running in a blaze of glory For Kaboom!, the patch was from the Activision Bucket Brigade and looked like the one in the picture attached to this review. The most coveted one was for Pitfall! It depicts Pitfall Harry swinging over a pit and into a pile of treasure. I attached an image to this review. After about several months, I had most of the patches. My mom was so sweet that she ironed them to my backpack and like the nerd I was, I went to middle school in my OP socks and Sperry Topsiders, and my Activision Patched backpack. I remembered all of this when seeing the games at EntertainMart. It's a super cool place that will fill the void when Hastings left many years ago. A couple of notes EntertainMart will buy, sell, and trade your DVDs, CDs, Funko POPs! and more. EntertainMart has a lot of specials and deals. There are mystery bags of music and DVDs. Check them out, they are near the Dillards top entrance at the Boise Town Square Mall.

Bricks and Minifigs was an enjoyable experience…read more Customer Service: The employees were extremely polite and good at multitasking. While working on sorting legos, they were excellent in keeping conversation and informing me about products. Ambience: While very quiet to the point it felt like a library at times (as if you weren't allowed to speak), it felt very friendly thanks to the employee. Not the stores fault, but a few individuals in the store acted a little weird, just enough to make me a little more observant of the area. There's lots of trays with loose pieces which lets you kill some time and mess around/build if you want. Lots of variety too. Value: Some things were pricey, but others were not. There are lots of sets you could find in other stores for the same price, but they also have old sets both in and out of box. The same set that's $700 in its box was $350 out of its box. So it's up to you if you want to be picky about the box. Also, you can take your own products in and sell/trade them. I sold some legos, which gave me either $90 in cash or $120 in store credit. Because of that, I was able to get a big set with my store credit, which felt well worth it. But if you don't intend to sell any of your stuff, it's really up to your discernment to choose to buy. I would recommend this store if you're a big lego fan, especially if you want some older legos that you may have missed out on as a kid. It's a great way to get rid of some lego that you're sitting on, too.

Walked to this toy store and figured out that this is the sister store to Re Pop! Re Pop is a dope ass novelty store so I knew Toy Pop was going to be just as dope. Walking in, you're embraced with a ton of colors and colorful wall art. There's two little arches that you can go through. One for kids and of course a normal sized arch for everyone else! It was a fun way to get into the main store. There was so much to look at! There was a little bit of everything in this store. Stickers, candy, stuffies, Legos and other fun novelties! It was almost overwhelming. You didn't want to potentially miss anything! This store would be a great place to shop for birthdays, holidays or just because. They had so many cute and fun things at every corner! Alaster rang my purchase up today. He was so kind! And you can hear his kindness with every customer he helped. It was nice to see such great customer service! This toy store is a pretty sweet joint and I'm happy I got to check it out. If you're ever off of Main and 8th and you want to check out some fun things, make a stop into Toy Pop. It was fun to channel my inner child this beautiful Sunday afternoon.

There is tons of aisles full of interesting toy ideas for kids. I like that the toys are created by teachers. They had a couple sale items which were a good deal and they offer coupons too which they are happy to help you sign up for at the counter. It ended up saving me $30 :) The store itself is located in a run down strip mall but inside it was clean and the staff was very friendly. They have tons of teacher supplies here as well as some nice books on a back wall. Overall it was a good place to go for Christmas shopping and I'll keep it in mind for kids upcoming birthday presents.

Well, maybe not entirely classical as there was a bit of Katy Perry's "Fight Song" set to violin and that was pretty sweet too. Add the friendly "welcome to the store" when we walked in (through the music section...and they have vinyl records there...do people still play vinyl...I remember when it was the only option) and we were inclined to like this B&N right out of the gate. All of the constructive criticism offered by Charles F in his good review are spot on. This is like a gigantic swap meet in some respects too with the old records and he racks and bins of deep discount books along with best sellers. But depending on what one is looking for, that could come in handy too. And then there is the huge selection of their regular stock. And a big children's section if you are trying to encourage children to learn the value and delights of holding a good old fashioned book in their hands and diving into the world of possibilities books hold for them. We went in for what we thought would be an hour and but for needing to be somewhere else, we reluctantly left two hours later with still more shopping we could have done. The customer service people were very helpful too. There was a specific book in which I was interested and while they had one on the shelf the book was damaged. Or as the service person says, "This looks manhandled." Yep. And since I plan to display it, that is a problem. She offered to order another one for us and have it delivered to our home or to the store. Nice. We took her up on it.

Coffee bar is "set up" but there is a ramp on one side. Standard height seating in coffee area. Accessible loo for him and her. 3) COFFEE BAR: We didn't sample the brew or snacks there, but there is a coffee bar in the middle of the store that appears to offer both Seattle's Best and Starbuck's. Several tables with chairs and a few stools at a high counter. The tables had lots of people reading and working at them.
