I have taken my son here a number of times particularly when they have the trains running. The…read moreupstairs of this store houses a lot of model trains and they run the trains every first and third Sunday of the month. It's worth it to bring kids or any train aficionados to see it as it's entertaining and free. The main area of the store is the base level which houses all types of toys that you can imagine. I enjoy heading to this store whenever someone's kid is having a birthday or other special event because I can always find the perfect gift. In terms of pricing you will pay a little more for the same items that you can get at major stores like target or Walmart but I always would rather support a small business over the chain type stores. Time machine is just a good old school type toy store which makes you feel young again.

Time Machine's gaming annex is also known as The Portal. This place is pretty good, one of the…read morebetter gaming shops. Pros: Quite large, many tables, separate room with excellent terrain tabletops for games like warmachine or warhammer, they have a good selection of board games to buy--not everything, but still a really good selection, they have a pretty good selection of warmachine/hordes stuff (niche market, I know), they also have used board games you can borrow and play at the store, and they have organized game nights, magic tournaments, warmachine leagues, etc. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They'll even let you sit at one of the tables and paint if you want (miniatures, I man, not portraits), good parking. Cons: Not much comes to mind. Their stock is fair as far as board games and miniatures go. I've seen better (but not much better); they're definitely well above average.

Came here just to browse but left with some PlayStation games from my childhood!…read more This store is definitely a step back into nostalgia with all of the action figures, classic and original games The owner was nice

I was so excited to check it out when it opened its doors in my hometown on Rte. 83. I found some…read morereally cool things from my childhood. I really enjoyed browsing at this store. It is similar to Retro Junk and rivals that of sister store called Retro Junk (also on Rte. 83 in Manchester along downtown Main Street). There's an impressive but moderate collection of VHS tapes for movie buffs as well as dedicated collections of Toy Story memorabilia and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stuff, Disney vinyls and many more. Who could forget arcades and demo stations? They have 'em here. You can also find controllers and consoles for video games right here. I found two unique GameCube controllers including the one I used growing up. I didn't find Sonic games but I did find a game called Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (spinoff of Sonic series) when I was a kid. They also sell Goosebumps books too. My only problem is they don't have as many DVDs to sell as Retro Junk. I truly get it's a small space for a retro store itself. The people who work there are cool people especially owner Cruz (nice guy who is friends with owner of Retro Junk). I had a chance to talk with the owner for quite a while about games and other interests. Games are somewhat pricey but for a modest selection, it's worth browsing especially if you're into video gaming. I'll be back soon as if I frequently this store more or less often depending on whenever stuff gets replenished with new arrivals. New stuff comes out once in a while.
