I was delighted to find a big selection of STEM games/activities, hot wheels, dress up gowns, and sports equipment. The staff are very helpful and will hold items for you at the register while you look around for more. It is a magical store for any kiddo. It is a little pricier than other options but I love to support local when I can and I also love seeing the look on my kids face when they are in a proper toy store!

I was looking for a specific toy so went on their website to look at the virtual tour and it showed they had it so I drove there to buy it, but couldn't find it. When I asked they said it was outdated. It would be super helpful to let people know the virtual tour online is indeed outdated to save people the trip. Overall a good store for a variety of toys, but the website does need an update.

Not many people - I only noticed the one woman running the register and she got me rung up quick enough.

Figures, board games, Nerf, Legos, you name it really. The prices seemed a little bit steep though that was kinda to be expected. You have the everyday toys mixed into the items that people often consider collectibles here. Lots of Star Wars, for example, on the overpriced "collectibles" side of things. Or think *fill-in-the-blank* edition of Risk, Monopoly, etc. for board games. There are a lot of puzzle games too, on that note. Where you fit pieces of wood or metal together to impress people or keep your ADHD occupied. Stuffed animals of all kinds (Pokemon in particular) and toys for even the youngest kids. The shopkeeper was just one guy who spent the entire time on his phone. Not very talkative or engaging unless you went up to talk to him first. He did give me a discount on a Lego box that was damaged however. Discounts on Legos just don't exist so I was happy to oblige. It's great to have this place here as a break from all the clothes shopping.

TheToysJustWannaHaveFun at Red Genesis…read more Red is a rad dude. I visited hid sweet little shop in Gastonia, NC this past holiday season, where I met the proprietor, Red. In business for ten months (if I remember details correctly), Red has a great thing going on, and I hope to visit and make some purchases again. The shop is cozy and not overflowing with a disorganized mess of toys, despite the fact he could probably squeeze more product in there. There are several display cases with some of my favorite toy lines, such as Exo-Squad, Masters of the Universe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and so much more, with tons of great toys and action figures from the 1980s through today, and likely with some older vintage toys as well. He's got eclectic lines such as Germs (1988). There are packaged figures and loose figures bagged up, GI Joe, Star Wars, Marvel Legends, DC Superheroes, and so much more, to varying degrees of completeness. From what I could tell, prices are reasonable and competitive. Red has got video games and systems too. VHS! There are some good dollar comic books, which I partook in while also finding a fun LEGO insert catalog I missed out on during my "dark ages." There's a little free box where I got my Wizard of Oz-loving friend a great little Tin Man. I wanted to dig out one or two more things, but didn't want to be greedy, but there is some great stuff in there! I also witnessed Red being super awesome with a father and his young kid, finding some Captain America items to make that kid's day! That's some great service from someone who not only loves having this store, but also loves the sense of joy and wonder he can create within the community of collectors and players young and old. Heck, I called on a Tuesday (one of his closed days) and he answered to let me know his hours for the week--customer service can't exceed that quality! If you make it to the Charlotte, NC area, be sure to stop by Red Genesis, and consider dropping some green.

The three crates of supplies she brought with her from her previous teaching position wasn't enough. Now she needs more. Lakeshore is the "Walmart" of teaching supplies. Papers and borders and books and science experiments for just about every grade of teaching from Pre-K to 12th and for just about every subject from American history to geology. It's "back to school week" and they had a 40% sale on just about everything in the store. It was packed with teachers just like my daughter, picking up supplies. Friendly, well stocked and tidy. Just really busy! [Review 11645 overall, 1426 of 2019.]
