The store is very large (two stories) and so well stocked. We found lots of classics that we remembered from our childhoods and even made a purchase for ourselves (toys are for adults, too, right?). If you need to purchase a toy for someone or if you're just looking for something a little fun as a treat, stop in. They might have something surprising and fun!

Top Ten Reasons You Need to Visit This Store…read more 10. They have the greatest free comic book day around.  It was amazing.  I would see kids and families running to the store to attend the event in Catonsville. 9.  Andy is a genius at promotion.  He will come up with cool ideas to engage the customers.  There are Batman days, Star War days, etc.  And the annual Cosmic Comix Tournament.  (There was the traditional super-hero March Madness tournament, the sidekicks tournament, the super pets tournament, etc.) 8. Other stores only have sales Easter, Christmas, and Thanksgiving.  This store has actual sales. 7. They got a Bat pole.  Need I say more. 6. They please their customers.  I've been with the store since DC's Zero Hour event.  (That's 1994 for you non-geeks.)  And they made me a subscriber and I'm notorious noncommittal. 5. They know their books. 4. The customers like the store and have become friends through the store.  Rusty used to feature a Cosmic Comix podcast with his customers. 3. Their ceiling is like the Sistine Chapel of comic book history.  You should stop in just for that. 2.  And they got swag, baby!!!  Occasionally. you can score a hat, a beer coaster, a coffee cup...!  (Yes, I know I need to do more spring cleaning!) 1.  And they're good to their customers!!!  Nuff said!!!!

For in-store purchase, this is a fun go-to spot. Yes there're many online deals out there but if you want to avoid that, come on in. My bros have been buying from here for me the past few months - I appreciate. They have a free membership where the more you buy the higher the discount - ask them... I forgot and I can take or leave it. Before the world craziness, I enjoyed puzzling and during plus up to today I reach for jigsaws when time permits. Good exercise for the mind. I'm familiar w/general pricings of the euro brands they offer and my fave smiley face app tends to go bonkers w/the cost. At times smiley face has the retail price but sadly many times it's higher, up to almost 80% - seems criminal. So having a place like this brings many back to reality. Remember the ones I favor are euro brands and what you see priced is the general retail price. And the current stock is what will be found w/in smiley face's app. The staff are easygoing too. They know what's going on so they're not surprised that folks shop here for those brands. My only concern is now that I'm sharing especially during this season, I may not find some specific jigsaws lol

A middle-sized store (seating for…read more6 modelers and 3 full-sized gaming tables), I think it is the management and clientele that make this place great. Tony busts his butt running this store and makes sure that regulars are having fun and visitors are taken care of. Unlike some of the other gaming shops, you do not get a horrible mix of elitism or social ineptitude. Many of the regulars are married with kids and use this place to relax and have fun. Hardcore gamers mix with part-time hobbyists and rules arguments take a backseat to enjoyment. If you want to get into Warhammer, 40k, or Lord of the Rings wargaming? This is the place to start.

I've watched his calm demeanor with kids and while running the store. They have game tables you may use and they're sturdy. I should have written a review long ago. I look forward to normality so people can hang out again.

After living in the area for years, I always passed by the whimsical exterior. I finally ventured in for the first time and wish I had done so sooner. It not only has the charm and magicalness of walking into a witch's cottage or a fairy garden shop, but is also a time capsule where you can find calendars from 2007 with whimsical fairies that you can still buy today. In other places, I would absolutely be put off by the old merchandise, but in a place like Forget Me Not Factory, it absolutely fits the vibe of the establishment, and I actually really enjoyed finding old things for sale there. It felt like stepping into the past, and I cannot wait to go back. Whether to find new items for my garden or supplies to make my next Ren fair costume.

You get knowledgeable players, and they are super accessible to new players. The space is a little tight, but they make it work, and the prize payout is very fair with most players leaving with at least a pack.
