Such a fun store I can't wait to come back to. In the two times I've been a couple weeks apart,…read morethey already have lots of new inventory. So cool to find toys of my yesteryear, most of which is reasonably priced (the higher priced ones are still fair if you're a collector!). Neat to see the vintage My Little Ponys through the latest series. Star Wars, Transformers, Lego sets....most of which are hard or impossible to find! Even saw a Buffy the Vampire Slayer action figure in the original box! So cool, check it out, alone or with your kids!

I mean, you can't even get through the door without being in amazement. Lots of fun puzzles lots of fun card games, tons of little knickknacks and very family friendly . kids love window shopping, just cruising around at all of the different options and I couldn't imagine anyone not finding something that they enjoy here . Staff is always super helpful places always spotless. Definitely stop by.

This is my go-to toy store now. We got all of my grandson's birthday gifts there earlier this…read moresummer. A great selection and the prices are very reasonable. I just went there again this morning looking for Sea Monkey (Krill) aquariums for the kids and they had three different types! I couldn't find them anywhere else in town except BiMart, which only had 1 type. The price was essentially the same as BiMart, with a much better selection. Given the choice to spend my money at a small locally owned business, I'll choose the small business every time.

Retro Shark Gaming should reconsider their name, it's hardly retro, and overall a disappointing…read morevisit. I have gone a few times over the past year, and have felt the same dissatisfaction each time. With the scarce options in Gresham for games, I felt I should give them a couple chances. The video game selection is meek if that. With the most variety for new gen consoles XB S/X and PS5 (This would be fine if they didn't price things as badly). The sections for "retro" games are pitiful, with laughable selections. Any game you came in hoping to find, they've either priced it way too high in the glass case, or they don't have it. Serious price gouging overall, this can't be stated enough. It feels like a basement selection of games that nobody wants, or everyone already has. They even offer games that no longer have online services, rendering them useless to the buyer, at the same price as when these games released 5+ years ago. Do those games come with a warning before or after you buy them? At one point I was on the look out for an original Wii controller, when I called the store I got such vague answers. "We might have them" or a long sales pitch on their off branded Wii controllers sold in store (surprise! They are horrible quality and barely catch a read on the sensor bar) Surely they know the quality of these second market controllers they are selling/ promoting? Just a waste of money and time. The main attraction of this store seems to be the tabletop gaming. They have many events during the week, and I think that is helping with the overall traction of people going in and out of the place. It can't be their prices or selection! I truly think this place would be better off just pivoting to exclusively tabletop games, or AT LEAST take "retro" out of the name. Either way- if you're looking for retro games, don't waste your time here.

KLEARSKI THE KREEPER, a YouTuber who's built a reputation for respectfully showcasing local…read morebusinesses, visited your store on May 29, 2025, to celebrate Pac-Man's 45th anniversary. He wasn't filming anyone without consent, and he's always quick to stop recording if asked. His goal is simple: highlight unique local spots and give them well-deserved attention. What he does is free promotion--something especially valuable in today's economy. As someone who lives in Portland, I'd never even heard of your shop until his video. I was excited to check it out, but the way the filming was shut down--despite no signs posted and no harm being done--left a negative impression. That said, I want to be clear: I don't want to hurt your business. I want to support it. That's why I was disappointed. Gresham and Portland need more visibility and community support, and creators like Klearski help make that happen. He left feeling discouraged, and I believe this could've been handled differently--maybe even turned into a great opportunity. Your staff was kind, and there's no ill will. I just hope next time, the door stays open to creators who are genuinely trying to help businesses like yours thrive.

Definitely more land-oriented and is mainstream brand oriented (Traxxas, Axial, Spektrum, Horizon, Lectron, E-Flite, etc...), but is a good place to get parts when you need for those brands. Good for general hobby gear. Connectors, tools, couple/few TX and RX options for land and air. Don't expect to find most brands you'll find at online retailers that pedal in the cheaper/more generic Chinese goods. TGY, HK, Orange and whatnot. Owner can come off a little rude when you first meet him, but he means well and will get you taken care of and is a wealth of information. We're all just people and I'm sure there are some he rubs the wrong way at first meet (me, included, but no lie he's a great guy I've found over time!) and some that he clicks with.

It's a cute spot a block off the main street, with character and charm to spare! They've got a pretty epic selection of board games, cards games, puzzles, kits and some TCGs including Pokémon and D&D. The frisbee section was also quite impressive. The place isn't massive but isn't small either. We spent like 30 minute perusing and liked what we found. The folks running the shop were very helpful and very nice. They all seemed to have played a lot of board games! Prices were where we expected them - not a discount shop, but nothing crazy. Very much what we expected to pay and based on the Pokémon ETB and two board games were walked out with, I'd say we're fans!

So she called and asked a supervisor who said , "no we can't do that". 4) Take your business to either Craft Warehouse or Pioneer Quilts but not Hobby Lobby.

However, just a few minutes ago I was stopped at the door and accused of stealing. I was thinking of getting some jewelry but decided against it and put them back on the shelf near the checkout area and was headed to the door when a woman stopped me and accused me of leaving without paying. She asked me to empty my pockets, which I did. I showed her all the stuff in my pockets, my phone, my headphones, keys, though she still didn't believe me and threatened to call security, so I emptied the extra pockets on my cargo pants which had a used eraser and spare change. She ended up letting me leave but I was baffled, I'd never been accused of stealing from there before and was kind of offended, but I do look like a punk teen and had a bunch of pockets with change and my keys in them, so that's on me I guess. Not the most pleasurable experience at this store!

Oh, Wheels Dealer, how you have my heart…read more I came in here on a mission to find a specific car and spent hours just enjoying looking through the loads of cars (and I'm not much of a car person). It's located in a car dealership filled with some of the most kind-hearted people. Seriously, what's in their coffee? Every single person who worked around here was so genuinely kind. It's accessible and easy to find a parking spot upfront. When you walk in, you'll be greeted by Coco, the bird. Don't be alarmed when they go from "hi darling" to a screech while you're digging in the store. The owner, Randy, was a joy. He had a Hot Wheels holiday sweater on and was like a Hot Wheels elf running around. Every question, he answered. He was also extremely knowledgeable about those special cars you are looking for and had like radar sensors to find them. This is definitely a collector's heaven, but if you're like me and want to buy some specific Hot Wheels for some specific kids to shove up their noses or whatever, this is also the place for you. There were several bins filled with used Hot Wheels to dig through and pick out. I was able to get a full construction site out of Hot Wheels! Prices are extremely fair, and the owner also helps you find things in your price bracket. There was no problem when I changed my mind or switched a new Hot Wheel for a used one. He let me just dig around and have a blast. I recommend this place for families, for sure. As for collectors, there were a few collectors who were here while I dug around, and they said this is the spot to go to. So if you're a collector, definitely give this place a look. Not to mention, the collectors here were so incredibly kind and generous with answering more questions I had and sharing the love of Hot Wheels with others.
