This is a great toy store as it has lots of items that can only be found here. I've been looking…read morefor a small French bulldog figurine for quite sometime and I finally found it here! I was able to buy it online and go into the store to pick it up! They were super fast. I went into the store and let the associate know that I had an item I ordered waiting for me and they gave me my order almost instantly . I told the staff that I had been looking for this item for a while and they let me know that they had another location extremely close may have some more and they offered to phone them to ask them to put it on hold for me. They called and when I got to the other location the item was waiting for me behind the cash. Both stores have great service and a wide array of items. The staff is extremely attentive and willing to help!

I purchased an item with two pieces and was only sent one. Despite us having a valid contact for…read morepurchase they said it was a listing mistake and refused to send the full order. That is illegal, but even so one would think if they weren't going to honour their promise they would offer a refund for the bungled order. Instead they offered a $5 discount on a future purchase, not even on the purchase they messed up. So I am stuck with half an order, which I don't need, and no resolution.

There were discounts in pretty much all sections and a clearance wall in the back. They have a Crayola section which is very reasonably priced. I got a pack of 3 crazy scissors for only $4. They have stuffed animal selections from all the best brands like Squishmallow, Jellycat, and Palm Pals! The coolest part of the store was their "Pretend Play" area. They had toy versions of a DeLonghi coffee machine, Dyson vacuums, and the ooni pizza oven. They do helium balloons here. I asked if you can bring your own but they only fill the ones that you purchase in store.

Great non-harassment style customer service! A simple hello upon entrance and a follow up "if…read morethere's anything I can do" about 10 minutes later. Lots of selection of great educational toys and books (fun ones too). Nice that they had a Thomas table set up with a significant number of trains for the little one to play with while mom did a quick once around. The only non-English books they had were in French (which is fine), but it was nice to see that they had a good selection of Lego and also that there was a bathroom. Quick and friendly service upon checkout and also a great deal on Ravensburger Puzzles - buy 1 get the next 50% off. Will be back.

Ended up taking the ride to Hamilton to check this store out as anime stores are not very common in…read morethis area. Upon entering the store seems to have a solid selection of things from posters, to key chains, to statues, and whatever else you really expect to find at a store like this. Similar to other anime stores in Canada however I will say that the prices are much higher then the items could be boughten for online which seems to be a pattern with these stores in general. The big plus to this store however is the cosplay gear in the back of the store (not my thing, but I can see the appeal) so this is definitely the go-to shop if you are looking for some gear to add to your costume. Overall I would stop by again if I was in the area, but it's not a must if you are just a casual viewer or collector.

No matter what your fandom is, we've got something for you! We are one of a kind, and the original cosplay store in Ontario, Canada. No other stores in Canada currently match the quality and variety of products we carry, nor the knowledge in Japanese and alternative cultures. Cosplay-FTW is like a wonderland and a blast of nostalgia for all the young adults who grew up on the now 'classic' anime like DBZ, Pokemon and Sailormoon. People literally ask us if they can 'live here' when they first walk inside. It's definitely worth a trip to Hamilton. :)
