Billed as a "mom and pop" toy shop, it certainly makes one think back to the toy shops of yesteryear for those of us old enough to remember shopping for toys "pre-Internet". A surprisingly strong selection of toys, games and gifts. My daughters are already talking about what they'll pick out "next time".

This is literally the best toy shop I know. The staff is always helpful and cheerful and they are…read morealways well stocked on really well designed toys. Most of the staff at any given time knows all about most of the toys If not all of the toys. Anytime I need to buy a present for someone I can count on the staff to tell me all the good options for all different interests and explain each and every one of them to me. They always have great suggestions, cheerfully take any products back and gift wrap for free. It is a small store but they know their stuff and they do a fantastic job!

The staff is friendly, helpful, and welcoming. As an adult, I could spend hours checking out all the new arrivals. It was challenging to pick the right items for the different ages on my list.

Someone shopping with me had to use the restroom really bad. He asked an elderly woman behind the counter if he could simply use the staff restroom very shortly, and she rudely denied the request.

I've pretty much depleted my decades long accumulation of baseball cards so now I'm into selling off my football cards. I walked into DJ's Comics and Cards to sell six vintage New York Giants cards from the late 1950's and early 1960's. I had done my pricing research, and after correcting for condition and selling to a retailer, I had an idea what to ask for. He offered me $5 less than my assesment, so I countered with his cash offer plus $5 in store credit and that clinched the deal. I ended up using the store credit toward buying a Tom Brady and a Kobe Bryant card for my grandson. DJ's made me a very fair offer and we were both satisfied with the outcome. The store has quite a bit more comics than cards, but I sure enjoyed looking at the shopwcases and rummaging through the commons boxes.

If home is a condo on the fifteenth floor of a filing cabinet for widows and young professionals, let me assure you, friends- you do NOT have to send your furniture and personal effects blowing out of your windows and flaming into the night to break free of that prison!!! You can *instead* head down to Weirdo Wonderland and fill your space with whatever your dark little disturbing heart desires. This is a gem of a place and the stuff of dreams for sci-fi and vintage horror fans. Unusual and cheeky patches, posters, pins, paperbacks, gifts... and what I personally came to find: their print selection which is to die for! It is not too big, but what is lacks in size it MORE than makes up for in quirky. For the amount of stuff they have, they are super well organized and looks like a labor of love- even the ceiling tiles are decorated!! It's in Milford, so maybe 15mins from New Haven (or apparently 5min if you're a CT bred driver)- either way, definitely worth a visit!! They're also on instagram (which is a blessing since the website is kind of janky). It reminds me of Strange Ways in New Haven (one of the few independent stores with personality around these parts) and I only wish a portion of Weirdo Wonderland's selection was offered online, much like Strange Ways'. If you're gonna consume (and you know you will...) consume small and local!!!

I usually buy phone cases here and 10ft charging cables for my phone while waiting for one in the mail from amazon. It does the job, but just be careful that you don't get it stuck on the phone like I did. Luckily I got it off, but it had water in the case itself so it was sketchy. The 10ft cables are really convenient for being able to charge your phone if you don't have an outlet near your bed! Many of the items are worth the buy, but you get what you pay for. The workers can be helpful, but they are just mainly here to cash out people since it is a busy place. The only downfall I have of this store is the music literally blaring, so it's hard to think of what you want to buy. If the music was a little quieter it would be better. Other than that, it's a fun store to bring kids, bring yourself and just explore. I'm a sucker for their planting kits for the spring since they're only $3! Anything you buy is $1, $3, or $5 dollars. So be careful, it's fun and addicting!
