There's always something a little different and while many of the toys are on the pricier end, there are some great gifts for under $10 that kids around the 5-year-old mark absolutely love. The one disappointment for me was they never seem to have any sales. Maybe that was their point of different, but I try and stock up at toy sales for the dozens of birthday parties we go to each year. Recently, they have started offering Lego at 15-20% off. It's a start and may be a sign of things to come. If you want a toy that will impress, go to here and make the most of attentive and knowledgable staff that will show you many options. You can't get that at Kmart.

If it were still socially acceptable for me to break out the lego whilst sitting in aisle two, I would. But for now I have to pretend I'm shopping for my nephew, when really I can't wait to get home and put together my new model plain. This store is pretty big. And full of toys, as you might expect. There is sure to be something for every kid, no matter what the age.

I prefer Toyworld to other toy retailers, and I'm sure a lot of that is to do with childhood memories. I also feel their range is better though. This store is pretty big, and easy to figure out. You have toys for boys, then toys for girls, toys for babies, and sporting toys. Easy. The staff are pretty good, which I think you have to be to work in a toy store (when I last went in the place was being overrun with screaming children and the assistant kept a smile on her face the whole time.

This store is mental. What is it? Where did it come from? Why?…read more I have actually never heard of this chain before, but apparently it is all the buzz overseas. There are a crazy amount of stores all over asia and now they are branching overseas. It has Chinese origin and is jam packed full of stuff. Yes, stuff. Lot's of stuff. I don't know where to begin? Stationary, mugs, slippers, bags, pillows, toys, scented sticks, jars, things... things.. and some stuff. There is also a whole section devoted to gigantic toys. You know the ones that you see at the Royal Show for prizes when you win alley games. Those ones. I think if you are looking for cool little jars and storage containers you might like a few things here. But, otherwise just be prepared to be overwhelmed with things. Actually, I know who will love this store. High school students. This is a store for kids that want cute little toys to hang off their school bags, cool stationary and shiny objects to decorate their rooms. Don't get me wrong, there are some cute things here. Like a whole lot of cute stationary items. Loved the note pads and pens. But then I saw a flower bouquet of rabbits and teddy bears. I mean, who wants that? But, in all honesty, you should probably go have a look. It's not like any other store in Adelaide.

With favourite toy brands like Ben 10, Transformers, Star Wars, Hot Wheels and computer games, it is perfect little treasure for all to devour. I adore Lego characters and they have a good collection here, that would make great fillers for gift bags, Christmas stockings or to add to your current Lego collection. Popular for its birthday parties, they also buy and trade toys. Add this to your 'Kids Must Visit' list.

So many tin toys line the walls as do Star Wars Lego sets, Hot Wheels, Pokemon and more. There's a fair majority of toys for sale which are collectors items, not meant to be played with and they're not cheap either. And Lego is never cheap no matter what set it is or where it's being sold and so hard to resist buying when the little one is tugging at the sleeve or having a tantrum in desperation as they just gotta have it. I remember buying a Star Wars Storm Trooper from a toy shop just like this one in Melbourne many years ago. It was packed in its original box and then in another box but it didn't stay that way for long. I was looking for a Storm Trooper about a foot high and found it and the whole idea was to get one and give it to my child as a gift to play with and enjoy, not as an investment sitting on the shelf gathering dust...what's the fun in that. Anyway, each to their own but Galaxy Toys is the best in town.

This is the first outlet I ever went to actually and I fell in love immediately. I have nieces and nephews and I can't bear the Bratz dolls or John Cena replica's of this decade, thats why I like to buy their presents here. There are toys here that let you get creative, like jewellery sets and crystal forests, metal puzzle things, archeology sets and chemistry. Far more rewarding even if it is a little extra cash, I think I come here because I secretly wish I was buying it for me.

It's one of my regular toy store when I shop for birthdays, Christmas or the occasional treats I throw in for my kids, when they excel in their school work. The staff are absolutely friendly and seems to know their products very well. They get bonus points from me for carrying international brands from UK, US and Europe. Fans of Melissa & Doug and Djeco products would love it here, I know I do. They have nine stores across Adelaide, check their website for location details.

I hated them with a passion, they were always lame and lacked in imagination and fun. Well, it looks like educational toys have come a long way since then. There's some genuinely cool stuff in here. The big kid in me could have spent a good hour or two looking at all the cool stuff, but I was being rushed by my better half, so I grabbed the coolest thing I could find in my price range and bought it for my nephew, who's not even one year old yet. This shop is really good if you've got young children and you're trying to find good and at the same time, educational (the two seem to rarely coincide in the way that the makers intend - the important ingredient will always be the child's imagination and they way they use what you've bought them), then this shop is great. The staff are really helpful and lovely. I'll be back again for sure.
