I always enjoy visiting your store in Liverpool and I think it carries a fine range of hobby…read morematerials but as a model aircraft enthusiast, I find the range, for me, quite limited. Nevertheless I will keep coming and hope to pick up some bargains as they appear. Your staff is always helpful and knowledgeable and I appreciate their feedback when I speak with them.

For people who take their fun seriously…read more Go up to the third floor in the QVB (the Queen Victoria Building) to find an amazing store filled with toys, models, games and more. This family owned and operated business has been spreading fun since 1935. It is Australia's largest privately owned hobby retailer. Definitely check out the model train set on display in the window. Tunnels. A city. An amusement park. Ferris wheel. So cute. An iconic toy store that will make you smile.

Amazing experience at Kings Comics during a work trip in November. I called to check on in stock…read morecomics and they nicely put them aside for me to come pick up. I also did a second visit on my return to Sydney and got some recommendations on new releases for my travels! Perfection!

Although this is not a store that you will enter often, when you do, you will find that there are…read morethings you want to get, though you never thought you needed. After going to a dress-up store that offered a rental for $80, I walked along oxford street to find some inspiration (not that type of inspiration) and entered Smart Dollar to see what they had. I was after a Mexican cowboy outfit, and found exactly what I was looking for, it was $21.95, and although it said 'keep away from fire' I bought it, and survived the night. I left the store with shot glasses, 10 for $3.00, straws, plastic cups, napkins, and other great party supplies. They also had a great array of kitchen supplies that I will think about going back and getting, as I'm keen to see what the quality will be like.

I don't get the dollar store concept around here. There are many other places in the world where…read moreone can step into a dollar store and expect that each and every item inside costs one single solitary dollar, and no more. Even though that doesn't seem be the way in this Darlinghurst variety shop, I can still appreciate a bargain when I see one. With an array of random odds and ends, this catch-all shop is a good place to look for that strange item you don't know where else to find. With Halloween approaching, the novelty of a store like this goes way up. Need some devil horns? What about a fairy wand? Smart Dollar has these items, as well as all the other cliche spooky necessities. I personally purchased a quad pack of craft glitter for $2.50. But trust that it took every single bit of will power to not walk out of there with a japanese lunch box and a 10 pack of pocket tissues.

Boys and their toys. It's not enough that they love their cars, but miniatures of them? I guess…read moreboys never really grow up. Since the shop is right next to my parents Gallery my fiancé wanted to check it out. The small basement shop had a really interesting selection of model cars (made out of metal and from what I found out some of them had working functions, like a turning steering wheel, doors that opened and windows that rolled up and down). The cars were all scaled proportionally. From 1:6 size to 1:64. There were all sorts of car makers and models from the exotic to the everyday. It was truly an experience... a toy shop for big kids.
