TOYS from LO & LO'S ARCADE MANIA — Attraction in City of Lockport

It's not often I get a chance to take my kids somewhere that I used to experience like when Aladdin's Castle was in the Lockport Mall. Lo's has a mini-arcade set up at his small location in Lockport and I ended up spending 2hrs playing the games he had there with my son. It was a great time and viewing all the nostalgia that I grew up with was awesome. My son and I had a great time together in this Mini-Arcade and hopefully over time maybe it will expand even larger! Lopez was cool and laid back and answered any questions I had about anything in his store. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a flash back to the days of an arcade to check his store out! Some people may complain about the prices of the games to play, but you have to realize that a place like Aladdin's Castle over 25years ago averaged two - 3 quarters to play a game and Lo's only charges an additional quarter for games that still work over 20years later! The hands on game experience is well worth it Vs sitting with a joy stick controller in your hands. You can't play Skee-ball properly with a game controller, you can't experience an actual punching bag game with a controller in your hand. How about a small game of pool? He's got a small setup ready to play that actually takes skill Vs a video game. I personally spent about $40 and got about 2hrs of game play at his store and it was well worth it! I'd recommend going here to spend some game time and then walk to Tom's Diner for food or even next door to La'Ports for something to eat. You can easily kill an afternoon having a good time going to Lo's and then a local diner after...

Cute store with understandable prices and a kind owner. My brother goes in to hang out sometimes. One very specific thing I was unhappy about.

First, there is some blame to be placed on myself as I should have checked how much the item is elsewhere and set my expectations for how much I was willing to pay for it. Aside from this problem item, I did buy about 15 My Little Pony toys that I know were reasonably priced and the game system and game I asked about, while not being at a very competitive price, did make sense.

The first time I went in, I was charged $44.99 for a DS Lite charger bound by a rubber band, with the typical grime pre-owned items like this have. I came back to the store about a week later after doing some research and finding that the highest these tend to go for is ~$20 dollars for a never before opened charging cable (not including potential shipping & handling). I was given a partial refund, as the owner meant to charge $34.99. I was still confused, considering the aforementioned price and pre-owned charger. I was promptly assured this is a tax-paying, legal store (twice), that this was the price he payed for it, and he bought it in bulk. I understand needing to make a profit, but bulk price for one item out of the pack?

Tl;Dr: Consider looking at how much something should cost before going into ANY secondhand store and potentially spending more than you think you should. Also Toy's from Lo is a tax-paying,...

— Disappointing Experience – Would Not Recommend

I had high expectations for TOYS from LO & LO'S ARCADE MANIA, but my visit was far from enjoyable.

The owner, was unhelpful and dismissive when I inquired about specific items. His attitude was off-putting and not what I anticipated from a local business owner.

Many of the items, especially the vintage games and collectibles, were priced significantly higher than similar products elsewhere. This inflated pricing made it difficult to justify purchasing anything.

The store was cluttered and poorly organized, making it challenging to locate items. It lacked the clean and inviting atmosphere I had hoped for.

Overall, my experience at TOYS from LO & LO'S ARCADE MANIA was disappointing, and I would not recommend it to others.

Edit: you can see what kind of person is running this establishment. Just look at his reply to me. “If you want deals go to Walmart”. Let’s not even discuss your character, laughing about other local business owners getting sick. Dude goes and stalks my other reviews.. maybe use more emojis next time, tough guy. what a joke.

Being a cash only business, I hope you are honest. The IRS doesn’t play nice with...
