Just about everything except D&D figures--no big whoop!…read more So(!), was in the area the other day. Someone told me about this place years ago, never bothered till now. Managed to get there on a good day, easy parking. it's a small shopping center, y'know? Walking in, it literally was wall-to-wall vintage collectibles. Many still in their packages. Walking through it all brought a sense of nostalgia, but at the same time I felt a dull pain--in my wallet. Whatever your focus is, collecting can be expensive and time consuming. Star Wars, Barbie, He-Man, Star Trek (to a lesser extent)...DC/Marvel superheroes. Collectible toy cars (Hot wheels, etc.). There's a lot to look at. Some in their own package, some bagged specifically for the store. 85% of what's there are action figures and such. The rest is a mix of collectible comics, toy cars, and other odd bits. I'd say the prices are reasonable, though a handful of the limited edition collectibles (such as a Sideshow figure of Ghost Rider on his flaming bike) had prices which gave heart palpitations. Era-wise, I'd say the vast majority of toys there are mid-70's on. So there are toys related to "The Six Million Dollar Man", as an example. There were some older 50's era pieces as well. And, like i said, some comics. If I had more time to look I would've stayed longer, but time's the one thing I didn't have. Speaking of which, they were out of the one thing I was looking for. Not a problem, though. If it's not there I won't be tempted to buy it. One more thing: They opened up a 'dollar store' version of the shop a few doors down. It has what you'd expect to find there.

From card games, to board games, to tabletop and drinking games. They even had a freaking golf mat you could put in your bathroom when you're stuck on the toilet!

There's even a dedicated area for painting figures, which is fantastic. I've done that at home, and there's a lot of gear that you need for that: to do it in a setting with people buzzing around you, good lighting, nice chairs, and paints and brushes all around you. Honestly, it just feels like a better way to do it than sitting in your basement, unless that's your sort of thing. There's also a huge gaming area. I didn't go in there, but I think that's the kind of amenity that is essential for a store like this. Snacks, food, games, dice, puzzles. Not sure what else you could have at a place like this, other than perhaps a comic book area.

None of the gamer stores we visited in Baltimore County can hold a candle to this place. Pay the toll and get your butt over to Ritchie Highway. You'll want to burst into tears of joy when you set foot into the store. I was under the impression that it was difficult to own/run a game store, or thats what the owners of those little shops would have me believe. But this place had loads of customers, and a bunch of other regulars in a side room used for gathering for in person play. Jeremy got his wish. A group of our friends are planning on getting together at least one Friday a month to play the Wheel of Time RPG. And he suckered me into joining. So he insisted that I pick out my own dice, rolling tray (the non-herbal kind), and a bag to hold the dice. He got some stickers and other stuff, too, cuz he's just so very into embracing the tabletop rpg gamer lifestyle. We joined the rewards program, so we'll obviously be back.

The store is very large (two stories) and so well stocked. We found lots of classics that we remembered from our childhoods and even made a purchase for ourselves (toys are for adults, too, right?). If you need to purchase a toy for someone or if you're just looking for something a little fun as a treat, stop in. They might have something surprising and fun!

We surprised our daughters with a Friday afternoon trip to Old Ellicott City to visit this toy emporium I saw on Instagram. We were met with what I believe to be the largest selections of squishables I've ever seen. I even left with a sizable one myself. My kids were pleasantly surprised by all of the options and had fun exploring both floors of this establishment. The prices were on the higher end in comparison to Amazon but who wants to wait for the mail when you can just go home with what you want? :-) There appeared to be only one person manning the place at the time but he was friendly. It wasn't busy at all. I heard it's only been open a year or so and I can see the growth potential if we keep spreading the word about this hidden gem. I'm excited to bring others back to find their new squishy friend.

There is something nostalgic about being able to roam the aisles and touch a toy or flip through a book. The toys, games, puzzles and stuffed animals are thoughtfully hand picked and the result is a whimsical variety of entertaining toys. My most recent haul included a pop-up book, a Ravensburger puzzle, and Mad Matter funky putty/dough. The prices here are a bit higher than Amazon but with a coupon they are comparable and you can support a small, local business.

Walking in at 1 PM on a Thursday and there were a few customers enjoying the gaming area up front. Enjoyed browsing the collection of figures, magazines, comics and massive collection of games. The arcade machines are a nice touch and there is plenty to keep you entertained. Early 2000's rock was playing on their sound system and the staff all seemed to be very willing to help as I was able to easily leave a request for a callback if a specific NECA figure came into stock. The arcade machines included Arcade1UP machines alongside a Pandora Box DX multi arcade cabinet setup inside of a Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo machine which seemed to have working controls from my play testing. Marley Station is a pretty low traffic mall but I could easily see dropping by when I am in the area even thought I don't have much need to buy video games these days. Prices seemed pretty fair for this kind of store and in general felt like a main attraction for the entire mall.

The selection is minimal and wildly overpriced, and what's actually on the floor is dominated by open-box figures and toys rather than games. The handhelds are kept in a case at the counter, which would be fine if the case weren't in such rough shape -- one console was falling off its shelf and wedged against the side of the display, which isn't a great sign for how the stock is handled. The state of the store overall was honestly alarming to me. The employee I spoke with didn't help either. I asked a few simple questions about what they carry and how often they get it in, and every response was technically an answer without being remotely useful. I left knowing no more than when I came in. I'd much rather give my money to a local shop than to eBay, and I went in wanting to like this place.
