Everybody has been telling me so many good things about this place and today I went to see if the stories were really true. This store is located inside the Apumanque Mall, which is just steps away from the Manquehue Metro Station. The store is really huge. You can find thousands of toys for your kids or...what the heck! for you, too! I guarantee you'll have the time of your life! I specially recommend it for people into scale modeling. There are sections filled with model kits of any airplane or train you want. Some are hard, some are for beginners. Here, you can also buy paint, so it is a really complete store. Overall the prices are fair, so you can always end your visit with something in your hands. For instance, today I wasn't going to buy anything, but, as a big Star Trek fan, I couldn't resist and bought myself an Enterprise model. I really recommend the store! read more

The place where our child-hood dreams come true. Mirax is the biggest store in Chile for collectors and scale modeling alike, placed at the top floor of Apumanque shopping center just at the exit from Manquehue metro station (there are signs marking the proper way out). At this toy store of humongous size you can find everything that 'geeky' and old-schooled small (and grown-up) kids would ever want to have: RC-planes and cars, scale models, legos (all brands), figurines, plushies, board games, die-cast models, science playsets. There is one rule though: no video-games or "mainstream" toys for sale, this is for making sure that the shop keeps up its "feeling" The stock is designed to satisfy better the needs of b's better than girls but there is still a good amount of toys for the lil' ladies (dollhouses, dolls, accesories, puzzles, novelty items). Prices are standard for this toys. I bought a building scale-model with 5 enamel paintings + 2 brushes for $15.240 ($8990 the model, $1000 each painting which is actually very cheap and the rest for the brushes) read more
