I love DVT. LOVE. IT. I am a child of the 80s and I worked at a Kay Bee Toys in the 90s so this…read moreplace is a little slice of heaven for me. They have an excellent array of new toy collectibles, vintage toys, parts, grab bags, MOC, video games, reissues, comics, lunchboxes, etc... etc... One thing that really pleases me about this place is that since I started going there a few years ago, they've expanded their girl-centric vintage toys. I've purchased many pink box Barbies from them for my collection. I feel like their prices are fair when you compare costs to the same items on eBay which is kind of exploitative to sellers anyway. I haven't sold anything to DVT yet, but I feel like I could trust that they would be fair. I think it's important to understand what DVT specializes in and not walk in expecting to sell them just anything and get a pretty penny for it. They do a great job of organizing and displaying everything as well and they keep their social media updated daily with new merchandise. They also have celebrity meet and greets too which is fun and they also have the occasional sidewalk sale (so sad I missed the last one). I really can't understand why anyone would rate DVT low. It's an amazing place.

"Control, control, you must have control." I am reminded of this classic Yoda teaching every time I…read morewalk into Dallas Vintage Toys, which definitely lives up to its reputation as one of the best vintage toy outlets in the country. The first time I went there, it was admittedly a bit overwhelming as it took me an hour or so just to get a grasp on the lay of the land. DVT really shines with vintage Star Wars and GI Joe '70s and '80s figures, vehicles, and playsets - both loose, on card and in box. It's just as much of an art gallery as it is a retail business. DTV has a dedicated room of officially graded toys if you're looking very top of the line, several thousand dollars in value. And it also has loose complete Star Wars figures you can buy for $24.99, depending on the character. I really enjoy re-releases of my favorite toys growing up, and often prefer commemorative editions so I can enjoy the nostalgia without the heavy financial investment, and DVT has good finds of later releases. There's so much variety. If you don't prefer figures, you might score an item like the Yoda puppet from Empire Strikes Back or other merchandise you don't see all the time. While DVT makes its high-value offerings visible, you might very well dig up some treasure in the aisles as you browse. This past weekend, I came across the Hot Toys Jack Nicholson '89 Joker 1/6 scale figure - an undeniable Grail. It was just hanging out in the Batman section on the shelf with the rest. I forced myself not to look in the box and walk away as I've never seen it in person - I knew I would fall in love. It's $500 I don't have to explain to my wife! While I have purchased a few things from DTV, I am not familiar with the experience of selling a collection there. In the late 90s/early 2000s, I sold many of my old figures to a similar establishment and really regret it. What I will say is that Shaun and his staff are readily available for advice and to bounce ideas off of, and so, if you want to sell, it's definitely worth consulting with them. Just know you very well could get a third of what you perceive your collection to be worth - and that's anywhere. These businesses need to eat and pay bills just like the rest of us! If you haven't been to this nostalgia museum, take some time to relax, know your spending limits before walking in, and enjoy. May the Force Be With You!

I received my controller back in 5 days. - Why the 3 stars? Customer service by the tall blonde hair male with the painted nails is the reason. Snarky, rude and no personality whatsoever.

So why haven't you been here yet?…read more Is it because it doesn't look like its part of a franchise? I mean, it IS gaudy and in a derelict-looking strip mall. Or did the sign in the window saying that their "prices are crunk" make you think twice? I certainly hope it wasn't the rough-looking teens in the parking lot. They looked like the type that cuss. Citizens, I'm here today to tell you to fear no more. While the inside looks like some barely-legal warehouse sized pawnshop, its harmless and worth your time. Go ahead and bring your kids! It has a huge selection of DVDs and games, especially of the dork variety (ie., anime and posters). You can buy brand new items as well. The prices are alright; I got a used Xbox 360 plus a newer used game. With tax it was $302. Happy Valentine's Day! So, my new question is: why are you still reading this?

You wonder how long a place like this will last with so many people using everything from itunes to hulu to watch and use entertainment, but as long as they are one of the only places that handles these items, maybe they will last a long time. It also makes me feel old to watch CDs go away the way tapes and vinyl did before them and to watch movie rental and sales places disappear. It seems like it is a really good store for games and then also buying or selling guitars and some music related equipment as well.

I've seen lots of diversity in the participants of the events, and the players at the shop are generally very interested in just enjoying their time and ensuring everyone else does too. The Game Master crew (Justin, Christian, Lilly) are all very friendly and helpful. My one complaint is that you can't easily find what's in stock without asking directly (to which they're very responsive - in person, over the phone, or on their discord). I'd love to see a better on-line inventory; but I understand the overhead that causes and will forgive em for it :)
