    Large scales
    Karl A.

    Eastside has a great collection of larger scale equipment. I was impressed by the cases of N Scale coming through the door. I would have liked to see more scratch building equipment and detail parts. This store is great if you want to buy some locomotives or rolling stock, but lacks if you are into modeling.

    Oooo

    Clean and neat store but the downside is I did almost get attacked by their unleashed dog which I'm not cool with. It came zooming up and circling my ankles aggressively making me worried I might accidentally step on his paw so I had to stay frozen until the owner came to take it away. I'm normally fine with dogs but not this one, and that just made me want to leave the store immediately after only looking around at two shelves. Will just buy online, will not be back.

    Spokane Portland & Seattle RR in O Scale.

    Eastside Trains is an iconic model train store, probably one of best train stores on the West Coast. They have every gauge (size) of model trains and represent most manufacturers. The store is not a budget children's store of toys. The items sold at Eastside Trains are "mostly" for serious train modelers. Today's model trains are sooooo realistic in sound, performance, and appearance that if videoed it's difficult to determine if it's a model or the real thing. Eastside Trains has that caliber of model trains. In summary Eastside Trains has high end model trains, an outstanding service center, and a very large selection of all the model train parts and pieces to build a complete model train layout.

    This big kid never wants to leave and wants to buy everything.  Our son likes it here too!

They have one of the best Jellycat sections I've seen, with so many cute options, and I was also really impressed by how much Miffy they carry. It's definitely a fun place to browse, and I always find myself discovering something new. However, the last times I've come here, I've come to find that I personally prefer visiting when the manager or some of the older ladies are working because I've always found them to be much warmer and more welcoming. During my most recent visit, some of the younger employees came across as pretty cold, and I felt like I was being watched or closely observed for most of my time there. When I first walked in today 9/4 there was a brunette girl wearing a cardigan, I genuinely thought she was a random customer who was staring at me, but I later realized she was actually an employee. She was standing near the front but didn't greet me or acknowledge me, which made the interaction feel awkward. If you're going to have someone standing at the front, I would expect at least a simple hello or some acknowledgment, especially in a small store where customers can easily feel noticed. The cashier girl in stripes came across as very kind though. Overall, I still really enjoy the store because the selection is fantastic, especially for Jellycat, Sonny angel and Miffy fans. I just wish the customer service felt warmer and more welcoming across all shifts. I'll definitely still come back for the selection, but I hope the staff can make customers feel more comfortable while they browse.

Shoe stores and sports stores are getting into the hype, and then selling them at high prices. Please don't pull a GameStop on us. I love that you're incorporating a lot of Japanese merch, but $9 for a single Chinese pack is crazy. If this is a toy shop for kids, keep it for kids, not for scalpers.

    Calico Toy Shoppe is a prominent toy store on Winslow Way, the cute walkable main street of…read moreBainbridge Island's downtown. We managed to hurry past it on the way to lunch, but I knew there was no way we were getting back to the ferry without going inside. Not with a two-year-old, a five-year-old, and my mother in our crew. To our kids' credit, I wanted to get them a souvenir, or at least allow their grandma to buy them something small with my supervision (she can't be trusted on her own). The store was colorful and appealing, and I couldn't deny my boys the pleasure of a quick, moderate visit. Calico was well stocked with toys and games, and my two-year-old immediately went for a giant cement mixer set that would board the ferry out over my dead body. I told the kids and my mom that they could buy one toy each, and that it would have to be something we could easily take home. There was a large selection of stuffies at the front of the shop, and I strongly encouraged them to find something in that area. Our older son obligingly picked an adorable baby turtle, but his brother refused every little stuffie I offered. Instead, he found a cheap disposable pinwheel that cost $3.99. He's been obsessed with fans for about half of his life and apparently, the pinwheel counted. My brother and sister-in-law got a couple baby toys for their babies and we went on our way, all the kids happy with their loot. We've been home for over a week and the baby turtle, now named Baby Turtle, has a place of honor in our five-year-old's bed. The pinwheel pops up in random spots in our house, sometimes waved with aggression in front of our faces. I liked Calico Toy Shoppe and would definitely shop there if I lived on Bainbridge Island. I'd recommend stopping in if you're visiting with kids. It's a great place to pick up a little souvenir.
