When I lived in Park Slope as a teenager I went to Little Things Toy Store at least once a month…read more(usually when I picked up my comic books at the shop that used to be on 9th street and 7th avenue). The location I remember was about a block or so away from its current location (though I believe that was technically the OG "Little Things Too") and I always enjoyed checking out what action figures they had in stock. In this new location the shop is on a corner and it is still very welcoming. Maybe I'm just a sucker for Park Slope architecture but the shop just looks "right" to me for a toy store with toys showing in the window and an entrance that lets you see inside, hinting at the toys inside. All that said, this location is now focused heavily on toys for younger kids with very little aimed at a older collectors such as myself - and that's fine. Right across the street is Little Things Too which caters to a far wider audience. This shop is a great place to get toys for pre-schoolers to kids maybe around 5-6 years old. Beyond that I would visit the branch across the street. The prices seem very standard for what they're selling and not being a giant store like Target or Walmart. I purchased a couple Safari Ltd. Good Luck Mini animal and it was only a few bucks so not bad at all. The lady at check out was very nice and I had no issues with the service. With that visit, I headed over to Little Things Too which I'll be reviewing in the future.

What an amazing store with an amazing team. My wife and I were with my son and grandchildren…read morelooking for a birthday gift. OMG... this place has an unlimited supply of toys, stuffed animals, toy trucks, games and anything else you can think of. This place clearly reminded me of where I would go when I was growing up. No Toys R Us, Target or Wall Mart. You went to the Toy Store for a toy. My four year old grandchild was going to party and knew exactly what she wanted to get the birthday girl. Her mom had to modify the size of the stuffed toy but thanks to their amazing selection there was plenty to choose from. Once they got on line (and I'm happy to say that there was big check out line) they moved pretty quickly and finally paid. Following the cashier was gift wrapper. You would hand her the item and just a few minutes later appeared a perfectly wrapped present. I feel compelled to say that I do not understand the negative reviews. Apparently someone was having a bad day and took it out on a toy store? KUDOS to the team at Little Things Toy Store.

Whether I'm looking for a birthday or Christmas gift for a baby, preschooler, elementary-school kid, or even a teenage boy who collects action figures, this is always a great place to come. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

The store is ok, the products are great, the service, was awful, really rude and disrespectful,…read morewhich is a big shame that they treat you like that understanding that they have high prices, dont get me wrong, i understand that a good product will cost you and i happily will get it. My issue was with the person in the desk, i got a lunchbox and a bottle, beautiful and definitely love them, it was close to 100 dollars, again i love them and dont mind paying higher for a good product, so i ask to wrap it, as they normally do in these type of stores, and she got a scrap piece ( i dont mind that, but this one was all wrinkled, i thought like ok, children will not notice, in the middle of wrapping she was doing a really bad job and having difficulties to do it so i try to help her and she scream at me "i can do it, its all good" really frustrated for what i did, well im really frustrated for what she was doing and didnt scream at her at the end i let her finish but i was 2 secs away of requesting back my money, though i really like them, i did tell her its not a great job (i will add the pics took 5 mins later) and she made me a face of fu*k off. Im welcome to not comeback again, thats why next door store has more clients, i guess i should stick to my regular store, this happened may 11th around 5:15 pm, i hope it arrive to the right person to be able to train better your personnel

These people overpriced so many things. I tried to buy a Pete Alonso tops base card worth not even…read moretwo dollars and they tried to sell it to me for five. The guys even yelled at me because I was trying to negotiate the price with them, but they were saying they don't even price it. They have a guy who they have to text to price the card. The service is already bad because they have nobody in store to check and they have to wait for somebody to check the price over the phone. I would not come here again because the store is also very dirty, messy, and unorganized. They have random Lego pieces, Bags, and other trash laying around the store, which makes it look very unprofessional. The people were also very nasty and mumbling stuff to each other and their language. We're not coming here again.

So, I've decided to take up painting.* No, seriously. Stop laughing. For all you know, I could be…read morethe next...I dunno. I suppose I should be able to name a painter if I want to become one, but whatever. In any case, I took out this handy dandy little Yelp app on my phone, and it told me that I could buy me some art supplies over here. And it was right! I came in looking for paint, paint brushes, canvas and a few other items. The woman behind the counter might as well have been a mannequin for all the help she offered, but in my limited art supply experience, it seemed fairly well-stocked with several options for everything. I also don't have much to compare the prices to, but judging by some of their exorbitant prices on regular stationery items, there are probably better deals to be had elsewhere (feel free to tell me where, just in case I actually stick with this painting thing). In any case, the total came out a bit higher than I would've liked to spend, but you can't put a price tag on art. That's a saying, right? __________ *By this I mean my girlfriend has, and I'm along for the ride.

This holiday season, spend your money locally. Buy your kids something from the neighborhood. If…read moreyou don't know where to do it, it's a good thing you're reading this review, because you should be going to Runnin' Wild. We've been coming in here since they used to do kids haircuts a few years ago, and even though that's not a thing any more, they've still got all the things. They've got shoes (boots for the season!), clothes, toys, scooters, games, balls, stuffies...all the things you want to give your kids for the holidays. Yeah, I get it. You may be able to get some of that stuff for a couple dollars cheaper on the internets (or you may not), and then you get to make a billionaire more billions. But you live in Brooklyn because you like it here. You like it here because of the amazing local businesses around. So buy your stuff here. This is a family shop, run by the nicest people, and if you want these things to stay, you need to keep your money local. Last time in, they asked my wife to come back and pick up the scooter for my daughter later on, because their best gift-wrapper wasn't there at the moment. They wanted us to have our gift wrapped right, and I appreciate that. We'll be back, over and over again.

Although I went to get something for an adult. I can not wait to bring my nephews here to buy them some toys, shoes & the cutest Knick nacks.
