Who in the world wouldn't want to go to a toy shop with a life sized terminator?…read more And if you're a Twilight, Anime or Star Wars fan, there is a pretty extensive supply of toys and accesories for you lot as well. Who wouldn't have fun in this store? Not me. I would totally be pressing all the buttons and making the toys move to music, in fact I have! The staff probably hate people like me, but that's how fun this store is. They have managed to cramp this store with many many many MANY toys, the aisles hardly fit my pram, so really, don't bring your pram if you have kids, baby bjorn or ergo carrier them up the escalator because the aisles are a teensy narrow for them. You need to experience it without the pram okay? I love the fact that there is a huge range of Hot Wheels cars, the ones that are normal, the ones that change colour when they touch water and the ones that go up the walls. My son loves those ones, you can also push them up to try them up while they are still boxed up, pretty cool as he would say! And he's 3. Whatever your fancy, whatever the age, what a fun store, it's big, it's packed and you'll definetely find something for the family here.

How is this branded as a kids toy store?! Disgusting…read moreproducts inside store, though I did pick up a few. Definitely 'Toy World' if I've ever seen it. They've got some huge 16 inchers though, I'll give them that.

I think CrackerJacks is superb for kids…read more Upon entry to this small boutique I was immediately assailed by the nostalgic sights of sylvanian families, large old school doll houses and ride-on cars. Wooden animals, boardgames, blow-up animal toys, miniature ride-on cars, spy kits, kiddy tool kits, clocks and nano blocks. You will find a great variety of wares here. The staff here are also exceptionally lovely, and I felt well looked after as I plodded my way around their store. A traditional toy shop at it's best, I recommend coming here for any gift woes or dilemas.

Crackerjack unfortunately reminds me a little of a poor man's Presents of Mind. It's a toy shop…read morethat, unlike Presents of Mind, is specifically targeted at children. However, there are games for adults at Crackerjack, too - board games (I bought a copy of Balderdash here), card games and building sets for adult fetishists (e.g. build-your-own toy planes, cars, trains etc). The limited adult toy selection isn't my issue. This store markets itself for the 0-10 age bracket, after all. My biggest issue is the price. Crackerjack is certainly a store for the richer parent who wants their children to have fluffy toys that cost twice the price of even a normal gift shop. You can get tiny teddy dolls for around $9, but this will be the cheapest thing you find here. There are a lot of unique, hand-made-looking toys here, but I wonder what child would be fascinated enough by a wooden monkey with wire legs to justify spending such outrageous prices. I imagine the label here is what is important. Crackerjack has recently stocked a brand of wooden toy animals called "Anamalz" and perhaps this carries a prestige with it I'm unaware of. Then again, if you have money to burn and decide your one-year old's toy ride-on car simply must have replica Mercedes Benz wheel trims, come here.

I believe we have a major obsession with merchandise of science fiction, fantasy, anime and gaming…read more We have to be careful however because it seems Zing and Gametraders (a long time favourite too) will be up to each other's throats with epic specially chosen merch. I hope EB can withstand Zing for a long while. They're certainly making their mark, mountains worth of stock, spacious stores and kind helpful staff. They stock a lot from a sponsor named ThinkGeek, a big hit online, based in the US. Make your way here when you have the time or make the time to see some eye-catching products for all Geeks, nerds, family, friends and colleagues alike!

This place has a cracking selection of board games for grown ups. While the inside of the store…read moreisn't massive, they certainly have a wide selection to choose from without products stacked to the ceiling. The store is neat, clean and well organised. One concerning issue, although the store was extremely quiet the staff didn't want to acknowledged my existence. Despite me perusing the store for around 10 minutes. Retail standards: acknowledge the customer with three minutes. What I was taught and still uphold: acknowledge the customer within thirty seconds and assist within three minutes. You can certainly say that the manager and team members do an excellent job maintaining the store, just be ready to be treated like a ghost.

Puzzles and chess sets and gadgets and oh yes, every type of fiddly, logic-driven toy you could…read moreever imagine. These gadgets, gizmos, and games all call Mind Games home. If you love a little bit of intellectual stimulation, then Mind Games is somewhere you should definitely drop in. There are jigsaws, card games, board games, plus I'm pretty sure I saw a more sophisticated version of a coathanger game my great grandfather used to make for me. There are literally thousands of games in store to choose from whether you love spending your time piecing together a picture of the Eiffel Tower or you settle scores through a heated chess match. My Mum is an avid lover of jigsaw puzzles and this place is a perfect stop for her with every type of design from fuzzy kittens to cottages and scenic landmarks. The choice is endless and you can spend hours looking for an intellectual challenge here. This place is great for knick-knacks of the unique kind. It reminds me of a independent version of Australian Geographic and provides wonders for the eyes and for the mind. Really excellent if you want to give a gift with a smarter twist.
