The nature of toy stores has changed a lot as dedicated physical stores like Toys R us where adults can casually come in and pick up some Paw Patrol toys for their 5 year old don't really exist anymore. Walmart and Target have taken that over. Now mainly different types of specialty stores exist that still have brick and mortar locations. There's a lot of things competing from mobile apps to digital micro transactions to PGC cards that very few brick and mortars can still exist. Accidentally stumbling on LOO(my abbreviation) while passing by. I found a gem for toy collectors who know their sci-fi,WWE, superheros, etc. Not for the casual parent looking to grab a brand new knick knack for their toddler. While it has a thrift store feel, they do have a little bit of everything which makes it the type of store you're more likely to randomly find something you're interested in especially if niche. Due to having a little bit of everything they didn't immediately recognize what I was asking for but encouraged me to look around and to my surprise I did find one of my discontinued favorites from three years ago like a treasure. Pricing is more than fair especially as now all specialty stores do "comps"(that is real time comparison to recent online sales) and they explained their price reasoning. They allowed me to thoroughly look everything over to make sure everything was complete and had friendly chat about the ups and downs of collecting.

Guess they don't have many Latinos coming here. I felt they were watching me when I looked around their store. The place is cool, kinda cramped to get around, but they have amazing items.

I was disappointed as I feel like this was more of a storage place for online auctions/eBay sellers. There was a whole section that said do not touch online action. Used to be a really cool place with a ton of fun toys. They few things I found interest in had no tag. To me when I walk in And I see no prices on things I feel they are sizing me up and see how much I am willing to pay.

Been here every so often since I was young and I Love this place. Owner usually appears very busy trying to keep this dying breed alive but is actually very knowledgeable and friendly. Do everyone a favor and leave your junk and hess trucks at home if you're looking to sell.
I am always curious to go inside and browse (can be a treasure hunt...but it is half the fun) and the younger employee is pretty cheerful and helpful and will usually take interest in your hobby or what you have to say that day.
Can't wait to bring my kids there one day.
