Four levels - yep, FOUR - of nostalgia!! Such a terrific collection of games, books, tapes, CD's,…read morefigurines, posters, comics, vinyl, collectibles, etc. you would be hard pressed not to find something that doesn't make you go, "I remember this!" Each level has different elements. There's stairs, as well as an elevator to access all levels. Prices seem reasonable for the things that they offer. Everything is well kept and in protective sleeves, etc to preserve it from getting worn. Every employee was pleasant and friendly. Not sure about parking as we walked. But, it's super close to the Heinz History Center so could easily walk from there. Well worth a visit!!

Eide's truly is a store with something for everyone! From comics to records, even toys and antiques…read morethere is a huge selection of items here to look at! There are multiple floors at Eide's and you can take the stairs but there is an elevator. Their floors are organized by the type of item they sell on that floor. For example, one floor is records, another is comics, toys, and action figures, so it's pretty simple to find the right direction if you're looking for something specific. The staff is also very kind and helpful. During my most recent trip I was browsing the first floor and found one of my favorite books from my childhood! It was only $5 and I couldn't pass it up. You just never know what you'll find here, but I can guarantee if you look hard enough you'll find some gems!

There is something magical about walking into a toy store, it just takes you back and makes you act…read morelike a child. I don't know what it is that makes us forget that this is a normal feeling to have. You are allowed to have a toy, god knows I have several mementos I have held onto that remind me of simpler times. I came in here kind of on a whim. I almost forgot that this was here. I was out picking up items for a gift I was putting together and decided that maybe stopping in here would offer me a chance to find a few more items that would tie it all together. It was odd. I walked in here and before I could get my bearings I had someone literally pop up out of nowhere to ask if I needed help. I told them that I was looking for items for a gift and when they asked me the age range they didn't bat an eye. Especially since it was for someone well into their thirties. "Upstairs." They weren't wrong, upstairs was like a walk down memory lane. I browsed through all the toys that are considered vintage now that were brand new when I was young...when did I get to this point? I browsed and browsed and browsed until I almost forgot why I was here, I wanted to buy things for myself. The one thing that could use a little work is that they might want to quicken up the check out process. There was only one other customer in here besides me and it took forever at the register.

Store was dark, dirty, and eerily quiet. Man at front desk followed us around as if we were going…read moreto steal, aggressively told us not to touch anything, and followed us around trying to sell us random junk. Service was terrible, selection was worse. Also expensive as hell. Would never recommend to anyone.
