I really like going to The Toy Shop. They have a lot of inventory and the owner is very…read moreknowledgeable about all the products and brands, and is very organized when it comes to getting in new toys and games frequently. If you ever speak to the owner when trying to find things, she knows a lot about essentially everything that the store carries. While you're not likely to find too many big-name things like marvel action figures, they do have a wonderful selection of Lego and many brand-name but not "from something" toys that are of really high quality. I've never had buyer's remorse when it comes to buying something here. The only problem with The Toy Shop is that it is way too crowded for all the inventory that they have. They would definitely benefit from a larger space. Because it's so cramped, it can be hard to tell unless you go there frequently just how great the stock and employees are. While it's probably not feasible, it would be fantastic to see this store in a bigger space with more to work with. The prices at The Toy Shop seem to be pretty much the standard. While nothing is cheaper than you can find elsewhere, you're also not exactly paying any extra. The quality of the selection for a lot of specific things is really impressive and really gives to the quality of the overall business.

purchased markers last week for a specific style of art. I tested them in store and they worked…read morenice on the paper provided but when I came home to do the project they were not at all what I wanted. I looked for my receipt but unfortunately had thrown it away but as I still had the original packaging and only tried a few colours I did think it would be a big deal. Their website did not state that the markers were part of the restricted return items, nor did it say I couldn't return without a receipt. It actually says that the company doesn't do exchanges so you have to do a return, if you don't have your receipt then you need government photo ID. When I drove to the store the cashier was rude, and immediately said "and you have your receipt for all of this... I hope" she didn't even look at the packaging or the tips of the markers to see the quality and went to her manager. I explained what I saw online and was RUDELY interrupted saying that fine art is an exception to the policy.... Again it does bot say that anywhere. I didn't want me money back (THE SEVENTY DOLLARS I SPENT!!!!), I just wanted to exchange for the alcohol markers I wanted.... I would have spent more money actually. I called customer service and was on the phone for an hour and was transferred to 2 people and was told they would contact the store for me to rectify it and reach back out to me and they never did.

Probably a 3 1/2 star, if only I could. I'm happy to see this large, bright store on the main drag…read moreof Belleville. I like to shop and compare with other Michael's stores as you can't always get the same items at every shop. As an aside, I find I'm really missing the old days of having Lewiscraft to compare with! They closed down ages ago. However, Michael's stores are re-branding across the country, and this shop is no different. They've moved the beads to an out of the way location nearer the cash on your way out. It's also a much smaller section than it used to be (this is the case in the 2 or 3 stores I've been in recently). From what I've seen, they've had difficulties with some suppliers (keeping up with demand), so likely this is reflected in the size of the space. No worries; there is a lot of competition for beads. And that's a good thing about beading: supply availability keeps you on your toes! As the saying goes, "Necessity is the mother of invention". So keep your thinking cap on, and an open mind, and you'll find a way to achieve your vision. Now, because of the new store layout, the first thing you see is the seasonal department (so, at the date of writing this, it's Christmas trees.) I overheard a lady walking in saying, "oh look - there were halloween decorations here last week!". Yeah, that's right! So they will be busy. Let's see how it goes. But their yarns and notions have a lot on sale; I picked up yarn for a baby project that I'm crocheting, at a very reasonable price! So I'll be back.

This is a tough one, I'm torn about this store. They have…read morevery well-made, educational toys. I love shopping here when I have to get a gift for a young one. There are lots of solid wooden toys and interactive learning toys, not just made in China junk. You will pay a bit more but you get the feeling that these toys will last for more than one child and will teach them something, even if it's just the power of their imagination! On the other hand, I think the owner may have had some bad experiences with low-life people though, since he is located in a bad part of town (north downtown). At least I hope that's the reason he seems to look down on some people. I went in one day I'd been renovating my house and I had an old shirt and jeans on. He literally looked down his nose at me and barely acknowledged me but watched me like a hawk while I browsed. I haven't been back since. You can't judge your customers so obviously in retail.
