This quaint, and well-stocked shop is as charming as its staff! There are selections for all ages and interests, as well as price-points! From small nick-nacks and novelties to full-on sets and comically large pieces, this establishment has it all! If you find yourself in the area, I highly suggest stopping by; it won't fail to put a smile on your face! Good Show! Value: 5/5 Staff: 5/5

This time we visit Retroactive because I was in search for some games for my Nintendo DS lite. I found 2 games and I was so happy. The price was reasonable and i love it. We also speak with the owner and he was so nice and helpful. We were talking about games and we notice that he really loves what he is doting his store. We really recommend this store. I am so glad that we have this store near to our home. You can also find vintage vinyl records, PlayStations games, Xbox games and more. We enjoy our time and our kids were so happy.

Straight up review first, then a story. Kool kids is a 10/10 in my book. I shop here for my 4 year…read moreold (and have found toys for myself too). If you need kids toys (for any stage), clothes, accessories, check here first. If it's not in store, ask if they can order it (lots of Melissa and Doug, creative play, sensory toys etc.) If you need sewing accessories (fabric, thread, knitting supplies, more stuff I'm forgetting, some machines) check here first, if they don't have it, ask if they can order it. If you need clothing altered, talk to Pamela! She does all sorts of alterations, and is very reasonably priced. She's hemmed several pants for me. Also the toys/clothing etc. for kids are competitively priced. Found it cheaper online? Ask if they can match the price, and also remember if you have a problem with an item, a question, etc., having a store to go to is incredible. No ai chat bots, just people who know from real experience. You can never beat that. Now the story side. I started coming here when my son was born 4 years ago. That's what me got in the door, needing early development toys and books etc. I never imagined I would get to watch the store grow to carry fabric and sewing accessories too, but it made sense because Pamela does clothing alterations. The entire staff has been so welcoming, informative, and thoughtful, it keeps me coming back for whatever I may need. You can't beat community. Going into a kids toy store where the people KNOW your kid, what you already have from them, how you could expand on that. Incredible. The other thing that I love is they only seem to carry the quality stuff. No one and done junk toys, but good stuff from good brands, like Melissa and Doug, while also having some funky and fun new stuff. That's my review! I could type all day about how cool this store is, but just go see for yourself. Bring your kid, go alone, WHATEVER! Enjoy it. We're lucky to have them in Vacaville.

I was there for quite some time and never saw anyone. It is a small shop, so I figured they were doing other things. The items are limited (no kamen rider or super sentai items). It had plenty of model kits, and the tools actually have notes made by the store to show what the item is good for. Overall, it's a nice small store. It definitely not much compared to their bigger store. If you want model kits and small anime figures, this store has it.

I started collecting baseball cards again in 2019 after a 29 year hiatus. This is the first card…read moreshop I visited after deciding to jump back in. Met Kevin, the Owner, who's been in business since the heyday of collecting in the 80's. He was extremely helpful, friendly, and didn't mind taking time to answer questions, which I had plenty of since the collecting industry had changed so much since I stopped. Over the next 3 years I bought numerous hobby products from Kevin. When COVID hit in 2020, the industry went crazy and caused prices to skyrocket. Kevin remained true and offered prices well below what he could of asked for at the time. I asked him about it and he told me he'd seen numerous highs and lows in the industry, and he wanted to take care of his loyal customers who would always come back. I have a great deal of respect for Kevin, and while I have stopped collecting new cards (I just purchase vintage), I still stop by from time-to-time to say hello. He no longer sells sports cards because the distributors got too greedy, and he didn't want to pass those excessive costs to his customers. He still sells comics though, and he is extremely knowledgeable and helpful with anyone who stops by. It's a small shop and if he doesn't have something you're looking for, he has years of connections and will either find a way to get it or point you in the right direction. If you're in the area, stop on by and take a look. You'll feel welcomed and want to come back. Not enough places like this anymore.

The phone number does not work either so you can't even get someone on the phone to confirm if they're taking cards at this point. No Zelle, Cash App or Apple pay as an option either. I don't carry cash and most people don't so to go this long without another payment option besides cash is unreasonable. I know they're loosing out on business.

My friend likes to go here for their Sanrio surprise boxes. What they have in the display case may not be available for purchase. Their inventory changes constantly. If you like something it's best to go for it and buy it right away. It might not be in stock the next time you go and they may not restock it. The items are pretty affordable. This place is ideal for gift shopping for children. They have lots of stationery/school supplies. They also have small household items and even cosmetics! It's hard to go in this store and come out empty handed... They have a rewards membership system too! You can get a copy of your receipt and it's even itemized! Service is okay. The cashiers have been nice.
