Actiontoyman is a special kind of place. I spent two months working one day a week in Erie and was…read morelucky enough to discover this store during that time. This store is absolutely stacked with vintage collectibles ranging from Gundam Wing, Star Wars, Transformers, Toy Story, WWE, Dragonball Z, Sports Collectibles, Batman, Superman, and everything in between. The ground level is full of classic toys and even features a full blown comic room in the back while downstairs is the "discount" section offering a ton of toys below $8. Upstairs had a full game room along with a ton of other collectible toys as well. Not only was it a blast coming to ActionToyMan but the staff was super friendly and willing to answer any questions that I had throughout my visit. Although my trips to Erie might be done, I will 100% be returning in the future to check this store out again. If you live even remotely close to Erie you owe it to yourself to come and check this place out, but hey, don't take my work for it, check out Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkin's visiting this store on YouTube.

My husband had 8 collectables at Action Toyman that hadn't sold in a long time. He decided to go…read morepick them up because they hadn't sold thus far and probably weren't in this pandemic economy. He called 3 weeks in a row to ask the owner to gather his unsold things. The first week the owner "wasn't there", the second week "he was out sick", and the third week my husband said he was coming to get his collectibles. Today he went to the store, the owner accused him of harassment, said my husband called his store "$hitty"(he did not), and then told him that he had already sold and paid my husband for his missing collectibles (he couldn't produce any proof that he had paid my husband for anything) Do not take your collectables here to sell. The guy is a liar. And I read through the other reviews and alot of people think he's rude too.

I stumbled upon this place while getting a service at Sandcille. It was a few weeks before…read moreChristmas and I was the only customer in the place. No one greeted me. In fact, a lady on the phone saw me and did not even acknowledge my presence. I should have left right then and there but I wanted to look around. After being in the place for about 5 minutes someone finally asked if I was interested in seeing anything but she seemed a little annoyed. There was one case of jewelry I thought was very nice and stood out, the rest of the stuff was OK at best and the merchandising left a lot to be desired. Finally I had her show me a pair of black and white diamond chandelier earrings that were absolutely gorgeous (and about $2500) she took them out of the case and didn't say anything, she could have had some enthusiasm for her product, told me about the designer, how they would make a great present from my husband etc. Nope and because she didn't tell me anything this meant I had to look at the price tag myself while she stood there. Hello, awkward. I'll never set foot in here again. Maybe they must have a lot of clientele or repair work. If you want and unique selection and great service go to Dahlkempers. My experience there was fantastic.

He's got an…read moreextensive selection in his warehouse, so if you give him enough notice and your wantlist, he'll have a stack ready for you to look at when you walk in the door. I found this extremely helpful, and he had quite a few of the things on my list in great shape. He even set the expectation up front that I could be picky. Turned out to be well worth my time! I wandered for a bit among the racks and found a few other titles I wasn't specifically looking for but couldn't pass up, all in the $6-15 range. The owner said he tried to avoid selling stuff in a condition he wouldn't want to play himself, and that seemed to hold for the sample set I pulled. I've known about this store for a long time, but I've only recently gotten into collecting vinyl. I really appreciate being able to check out condition before buying, so a brick and mortar store has a lot of value to me. Evaluate prices in that light. I've had quite a few so-so experiences with buying stuff sight unseen online. All in all, a good experience. I'll definitely be back!

The staff is knowledgeable and helpful..they know the history and worth of what they are selling. I did pick up an item or two and had fun looking at what there was in stock.
