The Toy Shop

Was in the store the other day for the first time and was thoroughly impressed at first. Yet…read morequickly was met with a large amount of small items which overall drew me away from the store The pros - big place with almost any item your looking for (TCG/DND/40k/etc) - lots of open spaces and table for the community to come in and interact with each other. - overall looks very friendly and welcoming The cons - it took about 15 minutes from me entering the store for them to acknowledge me and even then it took me walking up to the counter - I entered the store with a list of MTG cards I was looking to get only to be told that I had to email them the exact list because they where already "backlogged with a lot of other requests". Which is entirely understandable if not for the fact there were 3 employees just standing around talking with each other who I personally got the impression could care less. Furthermore I live 3 hours from here so it not like I could easily return. But I accept that it is my fault in that situation - next when I did send in my list of cards I was looking for asking for a quote. I was furthermore informed that they couldn't give me a price and I had to lookup the prices online for myself then make the decision. (A bit annoying but fair enough) only for the website they provided to be pricing cards above market value and would easily add a few hundred dollars extra to what I was looking for. I feel all this could have been avoided if it was easier to find information as to the rules of how things were ran. So I know what to expect prior to driving the 3 hours. All in all. I really want to like the place as it looks amazing and has a great selection but I can't help but leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I like this store. It's nice, well organized, and though the front door makes it look like you're…read moreentering a bomb shelter, the store doesn't feel like you have like so many other similar stores. There's a big window that lets in natural sunlight. The place is kept like someone actually cares about the store and their customers. Other places should take note. These guys don't pack their store with everything under the sun to try to please every geek but caters to a specific crowd and does it well. Their prices are on par, at least for the items that I know the general prices of. While about 90% of their product line isn't my cup of tea, I would gladly recommend anyone I know who is into these sorts of things to this place. Note: It would seem that the earlier reviews are for an old location before they moved to their current one. April challenge 24/30

At the beginning of COVID-19 I ordered 3 items from online and when I went to do curbside pickup I brought the items home when I looked in the bag there were only 2/3. I needed that other item so I went back online and ordered it again. When I did curb-side pickup again the item I got wasn't at all like it was in the description. Finally I just went into the store and looked around for the right item. (When I did curbside pickup the first time there was the most horrid lady yelling at everyone who was pulling up right at the curbside for curbside pickup because "that spot is for wheelchair people", there were barely any people in the parking lot anyway!) Since then I've been in the store twice and haven't seen the horrid lady. When I have gone in there was hand sanitizer at the door and stickers for distancing. There was also someone who was greeting everyone at the door and being all smiley, letting us know if we need any help we can just ask. All the other employees in the store were also cheery and helpful. If you need something for crafts or anything from Michaels it's best to go in the store. They have better deals and WAY more items to choose from. Overall they have mostly nice employees, are being safe and have lots of stock.

Defective merchandise. Do not stand behind their products. Never buy a helium tank from these guys.read more

The mall has many stores that features technology, dental, food, clothing, athletic needs, and more. Landsdowne place is a hangout for teens and a great way of spending your day with your family and friends because the special thing about this mall is that it's a better experience when you are not alone. There are bus stops around the mall which grants you access to public transportation with ease so you can arrive to the mall, and return to your home or where your next stop is. The bike racks are available but there are not many but it's good enough. The service is great as there are security guards to help you out that walk around the mall to ensure that nothing bad is going on. The overall atmosphere is great as people are willing to help and the employees of different stores are friendly and also willing to assist you in any possible way. I would greatly recommend this to anybody who wants to come in a group or just a pair to enjoy and shop with no problems.

I mean they literally just tried to have me pay $2 PER ACCENT NAIL!? Idk about you ladies, but never in my years of having my nails done have I been asked for extra simply for painting a different colour on a certain nail. This was after them insisting I pay an extra $5 for "length" even though I requested SHORT ACRYLIC NAILS. I am just beyond floored. It's unfortunate Peterborough has 0 standards and no good salons. Save yourselves ladies.
