Holy heck, this place is incredible.
My sons and I are into rocketry, but it's kind of hard to get necessary parts (wadding, engines, etc.) locally without going to a particular big box hobby store, and for reasons of my own, we don't shop at this particular store.
So, one day we went to go do some launches, and realized we had no wadding for our rockets. I looked around and couldn't find anything specific but did come across Radar Toys. I doubted it would have what we needed because rockets aren't really "toys," per se, but I figured it couldn't hurt.
When we walked in, it was like...nothing I'd ever seen before. My boys are 9, and this was right in their wheelhouse. A whole wall of Pops! Tons of stuffed animals. A whole section of toys for small children. There were models, statues, card games, board games, tabletop role playing game books and modules, comics (including some higher end special comics), backpacks, clothing items, and a ton of other stuff.
The back area has several tables where you can play games, either brought from home or bought there. The store doesn't have any "tester" games to play, which is kind of disappointing, but they did say they were looking to have game nights where people could come and game with strangers.
Prices are very reasonable, the selection is huge and I, being a tabletop board game enthusiast, love how they display their tabletop games. All are stacked on their side so you can see the cover and get an idea of what the game mechanic is. In ten minutes, I saw more games that interested me in playing than I could do in an hour at one of the other gaming stores in the area where all I can see is the title.
This place is great and my only concern is the location. It's right next to the dying (probably dead by this point) FYE store and there isn't a lot of traffic driven here unless you're going by destination. Hopefully it gets word of mouth and/or pulls in curious people driving by on Lancaster, because it's definitely worth checking the place out. read more
