Radar Toys is my new favorite toy store. I'm kind of annoyed I didn't know about it before today…read more But I'll definitely be back. My husband was looking for a small local toy store to go buy a birthday gift for our baby nephew. So this is the store we picked. We'd planned to go to Target as a backup plan. I'd also fully expected we would go in here and find something and have to buy it on Amazon because it would be significantly cheaper. But that wasn't the case, and that made me so happy. Their prices are absolutely reasonable, even for things that are normally insane and overpriced. I was really impressed. The staff that are working clearly love their job and are incredibly helpful. They greeted us when we walked in, let us explore, and answered all of our questions, taking us to certain aisles and showed us things. We were definitely welcomed in the store. We ended up buying two toys for our nephew's first birthday, and I'm definitely coming back when Christmas comes closer. This is such an amazing small local business to support and everyone should take the time to stop by.

Replay Toys is one of the best examples of a mom-and-pop store specializing in the nerd culture and…read morecollector scene. The store has a new great location and you will really feel welcome whenever you stop by. The owner is very personable and enjoys having discussion when the store is having a down-time or lull. For being a store targeting the nerd culture, the store is also kid-friendly and a treat for youngsters as long as they are halfway respectful. The prices are very reasonable/fair on most items and you won't feel your wallet hurting too bad (as may be the case at other retailers and events of this scene) and the inventory is consistently fresh. They also buy and do credit for items you bring in too! Highly recommend if you are in the Eugene, Oregon area and need to get your geek on! Definitely a delight for the nerd and collectible community of Oregon.

We are visiting from out of town and my son's RC car had a part that broke while he was using it…read more We went to Eugene Toy & Hobby to buy the part. Adam provided great service to us. We not only got the part, but Adam helped us install it. He also noticed that a couple of parts on the RC car were installed incorrectly by us. He took the time re-install the parts correctly. Adam went above and beyond by providing us with great customer service! So instead of my son having to wait to use his RC car when we got home, my son can now use his car while we are visiting Eugene! The prices are great and the service is outstanding!!

Never been here despite growing up in Eugene, and my mom occasionally mentioning that she went to…read morehigh school with the owner. This shop has been in Eugene for almost 100 years and has been in the hands of a single family (though I think in 2024 the ownership will change). I wonder how many other businesses have remained in Eugene for that long--especially that have remained in a single family for so long (maybe Dot Dotson's?). On my recent visit home I dragged my mom here with the kiddo. The shelves were a bit bare, which was a little sad and I think probably a result of online shopping. But they had some games, modern board games, lots of train stuff, remote control toys, and so on. I bought a cute little stuffed bat for the little one because it was the one she showed interest in out of those I showed her, and it made her laugh when I moved it around and its wings flapped. Haha. I know that Eugene Elites did a volunteer event here which is so awesome. It's great that the shop partnered with them on it. Support local businesses!

With the demise of the big-chain toy stores, finding a "regular" toy store can be a challenge…read more You'll find boutique toy stores, vintage toy stores, toy & hobby stores, etc But luckily Elephant's Trunk fills that need for just a straight up regular toy store. They have a good range of stuff, from baby toys on up to stuff for older kids. Coloring books, blocks, toy cars, fidget-spinners, little guitars, and everything in between. It's a big store and nicely designed, so it's fun to walk around and check things out. Of course it's very kid friendly. Given the 5th St. Market location, you probably won't find any bargains. That being said, the prices seem pretty reasonable. It's definitely worth checking out!

It is so hard to find a truly legit toy store anymore, especially one where the toys and games…read moreinspire creativity and learning and don't all require WiFi or recharging at the end of the day. This toy store is truly one of my favorite in Oregon. It has a good selection of classic children's toys like Playmobil, Hot Wheels, and Brio. They also have a great selection of children's books and puppets to help foster a child's creative learning. As a side note they also have a few of these classic coin-op rocking animals including an elephant and an Oregon Duck-the mascot for the local university. The staff was great and very knowledgeable about activities appropriate for certain ages and developmental levels.

My husband wandered in here by mistake recently, and ended up finding a great Simpsons shirt…read more Naturally, he decided that I needed to come and check out the store too. We went in a couple weeks ago and I was kind of amazed at the amount of product inside this store. It is really hard to walk around and actually find anything because it is almost overwhelming. There really is just too much stuff in here for me. If you've ever been to Hot Topic, you will have an idea of what I'm talking about when I say too much product. I was able to find Marvel beanie babies of my favorite Avengers heroes. So I was kind of excited, as I'm decorating my office right now with all my nerd related stuff. They definitely have that going for them! Plus my husband loved his shirt. Customer service was fine. We were left alone to wander the store, and that was perfect. We went back and forth a few times, as my husband and I separated and then wanted to show each other something. We were left to debate a couple of items to purchase before finally deciding on the beanie babies. We weren't really talked to until we went to cash out and pay for everything. When we did, the cashier was nice. Very timid and quiet, but she was friendly and there were no issues. Would I return? Maybe. I'm kind of torn on that one. I seriously do find this store overwhelming because there is so much stuff, but I did find some good stuff too. So yeah, I will probably come back, but only when I am looking for something specific.

Their stuff isn't cheap by any means, but it's really adorable. They have the gamut of baby and children's items, including some small toys and stuffed animals, books, clothing, and so on. I bought a really adorable little dress that I'm hoping will fit my high-percentile little one! I don't think they allow returns, but they do exchanges. If you're buying for a new baby, or just want something special for your little one, Bambini is definitely worth a stop.

She is so personable and always remembers me by name, asks how the kids are, etc. She is genuine. That's the best way to describe her. I fell in love with a pair of herringbone patterned pants from Tea but my son's size wasn't on the rack. She ordered them ... gave me the sale price from the Tea website ... plus free shipping. She's also recently started carrying locally made goodies (yay for shopping small!) for us mamas too! Great service. Great selection. Great local shop. Check it out when you get the chance!

"Oh, you just started collecting TMNT and don't know about Groo the Wanderer..." Prices are retail for new stuff. A sleeve and board will set you back $0.25. Collectables are priced in line with the Overstreet guide, but they can be a little optimistic on the grading, so margin hard. I have never sold any used comics to them (hoarder!) and I cannot speak to pricing there, but they are legit is every other aspect that I have dealt with this on. In short, this is where I buy my local comics for myself and as gifts.

They've got craft items, old books, VHS tapes, clothes, and much more. I recently bought an Oregon Duck print pillow, that's handmade by the seller. I always enjoy it. The employees are always nice. Nothing special, and a little slow because they have to write down the seller ID so they can credit the right person because of so many vendor booths. But they've all worked there forever, so you see familiar faces. Prices aren't bad, if you know what you're buying. It's mostly handmade items, so you may pay a higher price because of that. I try to compare it to booths at the Scandinavian festival to see which is the better deal for certain things. It's a store I've gone to many times and will keep returning to, because I can buy craft items made by someone local. I love that aspect of it.
