Fantastic shop and definitely worth a trip to the Lakewood Mall, 10/10 will be shopping here again!…read more Black Star has a huge selection of Black pop culture comics and collectibles, highlighting both popular and less well known (but still awesome, like Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur!) characters giving them the pride of place treatment they deserve. They have the latest ongoing issues from Marvel and DC, plenty of trade collections and graphic novels for all ages, and an independent comic creator display. The walls are lined with funko pops of real people as well as fictional characters, there are t-shirts, action figures and toys, and just generally cool geeky things to buy. The shop is bright and clean, well designed for browsing with plenty of space to move around eye catching displays, and the assistant was very friendly - the whole vibe makes you want to come back and support them, which I hope you will do!

This show is inside the Holiday Inn. Check the website for the dates…read more Basically, a variety of sellers gather here and stuff the room silly with dolls and doll accessories. Sis and I have been coming to this show for years. Inside the showroom, we've found vintage Barbie dolls and clothing, Tonner dolls, and the elusive Fashion Royalty collection. There's also vintage furniture collections, as well as exclusive designer furnishings. Dolls can be had clothed or unclothed, mint in box or sans box. Doll bodies and heads also can be purchased. I've gotten great deals here, and have also purchased a number of Sis' birthday gifts. I used to try to surprise her, but since she was usually at the show with me, I gave in and let her pick out her birthday dolls herself. She is particular about the faces. If you didn't know already, no doll is ever painted exactly like another doll. There are minute differences in the facial screening. So Sis and I hunt through the assortments of dolls looking for the most attractive face for our taste. I enjoy rummaging through the seller's bins and finding doll-sized bits of treasure.

Collector's Warehouse is all things Gaurdians of the Galaxy and Marvel. There is a good mix of items. Clothing, home decor, collectible, and toys may all be found here. This is one shop that my children really wanted to spend time looking about. Prices are what is expected from Disney and Marvel. Two cast members were behind the register. They only seemed to interact with guests when they were checking out. They are only two of hundreds of cast members/employees.

The bright colors, whimsical details had a nostalgic feeling that is reminiscent of the traditional carnivals of years past. This is one of those spaces that makes me want to slow my pace and take time to look around, as I see each area has been carefully designed to be visually thematic and full of personality. Big Top Toys is definitely focused on just having fun. The store is full of plush toys, board games and bright colorful Disney items. I also always notice how much the plush toys are highlighted, everything from old time favorite Disney characters to new ones, all displayed in such a way to make you feel like you could shop for at least an hour in the store! One of the reasons I love shopping here is because of its proximity to the front of the park on Buena Vista Street. I usually end up stopping here when I first get into the park in the morning or as I am leaving the park. This shop has all the souvenirs you would want! It was busy during the last time I visited in the store during the Holidays. At the time, there was a special discount on certain holiday items and the 70th Anniversary as well! Magic Key Holder Discounts, Disney Vacation Club Discounts, and the Disney Visa Cardmember Perks are accepted here!
