There's so much to see, you could barely digest it all in one visit. I also love that they have a photobooth (for a small fee) in the back. Such a cute touch. Not to mention, they've taken a hard stance against ICE and that alone is reason to support them.

Many of these toys are still in their packaging. Going into the store I wasn't sure what to expect. I wasn't sure if they sold toys or were looking to buy used toys. The answer is they do both. Although the vibe is more like a museum than anything else. Overall I had a great time visiting this store. I wish the associate working would've been a little more engaging, they were very stand of fish.

I had so much nostalgia wash over me walking around and seeing the vintage toys and figures they had.

They even had anime figures and awesome gundam's to pick from. Locally owned business with so many things to see and buy, can't wait to visit on my next trip!

I've been searching for Lego sets on my grandsons Christmas wishlist. Last year we gave him a…read morefairly large Harry Potter set. Little did I know it can be connected with four additional Harry Potter Lego sets to make a grand display. So of course he wanted the complete collection. One of the sets is no longer produced so I searched eBay for that set. While I was searching I had also written down info on the other sets and what they would cost if I purchased them on Lego.com I found a great deal on one of the sets from The Toy Guys. It was listed in new condition. I am fairly pleased with the purchase however there was one small tear of part of the front card box. It doesn't affect the set and will be easy to disguise when I tape a label to the box. Overall I would purchase Legos from this business in the future.

I loved this comic store while visiting Richmond! Small store but has a lot of stuff, which I was…read morepleasantly surprised with. They have a good amount of new issues, as well as older ones. They have a huge collection of older issues, including ones labeled from the Silver Age, which I appreciated. Most of them are organized, but some of them are kind of all over the place timeline wise, but still fun to go through. They had quite a diversity of TP and compendiums which was great! There were so many great series! Would say everything was priced decently. Employee was chill and friendly.

I'm not a local, so I won't bother going back. I've already been to Battlegrounds in Midlothian and it'll be worth the drive to avoid having to go back to this place. I mean, it's not terrible, but not worth the time.

I live in Idaho now and was in Richmond a year ago in the fall, went to their store on a regular business day and they had a note on the door that they were closed until after I left town.

In addition to the dolls, bears, and flags they also have some really cute baby boutique items. I can see us shopping here for a nieces and nephews.

Prices can run a bit high, but that's part of the charm since many of the items feel thoughtfully curated and aren't the kind of things you'll find everywhere else.

When I got there, they had a table of books for $1, mostly kid's books. Once inside, there are books along the wall. I also saw comic books, records and some vintage ads by decades. They have a very tiny kid's section nothing to rave about. My impression is that they had a lot of books, but not a lot of popular books. It was still worth a look. I did see some books about Art and Architecture. I am sure I am missing mentioning more, but that is what I remembered. The books were fairly priced and was glad to find 2 books. You can see my pics to see them. The bookstore seems to have been there a long time. It doesn't look like it's been updated ever. There is an old vibe here, but these are the kinds of bookstore you will find something cool and rare. The old register at the counter is also a classic.

I definitely will keep coming back when there is a new release.

Their selection isn't huge, but definitely worth a gander. There was a Mad Magazine Robin figure that was really cool and hilarious! And the prices are fair, pretty much the same as other similar places. The young man who checked me out (I stocked up on Archie Double Digests!) was super friendly and helpful. He even offered me some sandwiches that had been catered from Jimmy Johns! WOW! BOING!! Lunch and a good read... my day is looking up!! BAM!
