    Big store with tons of selections…read more I was nervous from pictures that this would be all comic books. I was a little relieved when we pulled up and there was a sign that included toys. We were here on a very specific mission, one son was looking for ghostbusters toys and the other was looking for pokemon cards. One of the employees told us that they get the most calls from people looking for pokemon cards. So I don't bury the lead, they don't have just packs of pokemon cards, but they do have a set that includes multiple packs for $60. We ended up getting that for my older son and I've been giving him a pack every couple of days. I was little nervous about our mission to find ghostbuster stuff. There were tons of star wars stuff and a lot of funko figurines. We did find ghostbuster funko figures, but that wasn't really what we were looking for. Eventually after walking around a bit, we did find three small ghostbuster items. I think they're meant to be kept on a desk, but my son has been playing with them like they're toys. I haven't seen ghostbusters so I'm not going to describe this well, but they are items to track and then trap ghosts. He was ecstatic that we found them, so mission accomplished. If you're looking for comic books then this is heaven. If you're looking for specific toys, it may be hit or miss, but for us it was a hit. This is definitely a place worth checking out.

    As a collector who's always on the hunt for nostalgic treasures, Retro Rat in Largo is a goldmine…read morethat delivers pure joy with every visit. This shop is a haven for vintage toys, comics, and video games, offering a massive selection that spans decades and a vibe that feels like stepping into a time capsule. With its incredible inventory, passionate staff, and the option to pop in for a single find during the day, Retro Rat earns a well-deserved five stars. Walking into Retro Rat is like diving into a childhood dream. The shelves are packed with vintage action figures, from '80s Transformers to GI Joe and Star Wars classics, alongside newer collectibles like Funko Pops. The comic section is just as impressive, with everything from Silver Age Superman to modern indie titles, neatly organized for easy browsing. Their video game selection is a standout--retro cartridges for NES and Sega sit alongside PlayStation and Xbox gems, perfect for gamers looking to relive the past. The store even stocks trading cards, vintage tees, and board games, making it a one-stop shop for any pop culture fan. Retro Rat's community vibe sets it apart. They host events like trading card tournaments and retro gaming nights, creating a space where fans connect and share their passions. I don't make it to many of the events since I live across the bridge but The shop's clean and well-organized, with treasures displayed to spark excitement without overwhelming. Prices are fair--vintage figures range from $20 to $200 depending on rarity, comics are competitively priced, and games are often below market value for their condition. It's not a discount bin, but you're paying for quality and curation, and it's worth every penny for the gems you'll find. This place is more than a store; it's a nostalgic adventure. Whether I'm grabbing a single NES cartridge, flipping through X-Men comics, or eyeing a vintage toy to complete my set, Retro Rat delivers. The staff's dedication and the shop's vibrant energy make every visit feel like a hunt for buried treasure. For its unmatched selection, top-tier service, and role as a collector's paradise, Retro Rat gets five stars. It's a must-visit for anyone in Largo who loves toys, comics, or games, and I'll keep coming back for my next big score.

The only downside to this store is that it has a very strong smell of cigarettes. The old store smelled the same too. It's off putting buying something from this store when the cigarette smell is sooo strong. I was really hoping this would not be an issue when they moved stores. The air freshener does not cover up the smell guys. For the sake of your customers, maybe take the smokes outside?

    I been here twice and it's a pretty nice experience overall but the only problem I have here is…read morewith the pricing on items, some items are fairly priced and some are outrageously priced. I understand some things are inevitable because of Japanese imported items and shipping costs but some things are sold for x4 their retail price. On the other hand things like the Gachapons are well priced!!! The customer service of this place the second time I went was nice as the lady at the cash register asked if I'd like to open and check what mystery item I got just in case I got a duplicate and wanted to exchange or do something else with it which was pretty nice, I did end up keeping them even though I did get a duplicate but the items I got are ones that I am very happy about :) I did blow an easy around $230 for one bag of items in around 10-15 minutes though so BE CAREFUL don't be like me!! I would save my money to blow on it here later some other day if they had more variety/more unpopular shows because it would be cool to see some merch from shows that aren't mainstreamed

    I saw this place on Instagram and just knew I had to take my daughter here because she's a big fan…read moreof the blind box toys and this store had SO many different toys to choose from. I honestly didn't even know they had this many blind box brands. We perused for a bit and she finally decided on a few. The girl that helped us behind the desk was really sweet and let us know that they also do shipping if you shop on their online store, which was good info for us since it's a bit of a drive. Some of the blind box toys were $60-$100+ while others were in the $15-$20 range, so I'd say there's a little bit of something for everyone here as far as price point. Another really cool aspect was the trinket trading box outside of this store. I didn't ask for clarification on whether this is a established by the store or if someone just set it up there because this is a good spot for it in front of this type of store, but it was truly awesome. My daughter really enjoyed that, it was her first time doing trinket trading and she thought that was a special experience, she's already putting other trinkets aside for trading when we come back.
