The store is fairly big with lots and lots of toys to choose from! If you have kids you should be shopping at Toyworld.

During the 80s Toyworld was THE toy store to visit. They used to be a huge chain of stores that…read morefulfilled every toy need. So what happened? I suspect it had a lot to do with the advent of video games. They became hugely popular around the early 90s, which is around the time Toyworld stores started closing their doors. A lot of Toyworld stores didn't stock video games until the mid 90s and beyond, and their prices were ridiculously high. Whatever the reason, now less than a handful of these stores remain. I suppose the resurgence of Lego has contributed to the 3 or 4 remaining stores staying alive, and the Parafield store only recently opened in the past couple of years. If it's Lego you want though, you could do far worse than look here. They have a large amount of Lego in stock as well as other toys. I didn't see any video games in this store. I suppose they leave that to Toys R Us now (another reason I suspect they all died off). If you want to relive the 80s a bit or just want a good, honest toy store then take a trip down here.

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.

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 they are old enough to understand "look but don't touch" then there is definitely heaps for them to look at. I got some really great deals here on a leapster electronic game console as well as games for it as cheap as $10 for some titles. Recently I went here because I was looking for a Harry Potter outfit for my child for the book week parade. I had already visited the department stores and cheap shops and not found anything, even anything I could work with. Found an actual Harry Potter costume here and not too expensive (plus it was what he really wanted). A good place to look when you want to get something different to the ranges they stock in your usual toy departments. They also have a great range of wooden toys and trains. Always able to find a gift for a child in this store even if you have no clue what you are looking for when you walk in.

They have some fantastic things that aren't just books as well as the usual book store stuff. Like heaps of little packs on everything from making sushi to pilates to learning to play harmonica. They also had some great packs for kids learning to read with a book and cd of popular characters like Toy Story. I found a great Transformers boxed set for under $30 that looked amazingly special. I also found some of the coolest games here. Like one where the right answer is the wrong answer. And one with kids vs adults. And a special Top Gear item for my partner. There was seriously something here for everyone and anyone. Definitely not just your usual book shop anymore.

If it were still socially acceptable for me to break out the lego whilst sitting in aisle two, I would.

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.
