All Time Toys — Local services in Eldersburg

I've been going to All Time Toys for about a year now regularly, and I can definitely say I'll be continuing my patronage here for as long as they're in business and as long as I live in the area.

After getting back into Lego, I've been coming here regularly for extra pieces to rebuild old sets of mine, and to build my own creations. They have a massive bin of Lego in the center of the building, with random pieces from basically any set you can think of. Go in, pick up a cup, and get the pieces you want. For $7.99 you get a good amount of Lego, and I often find obscure or hard to find pieces that I'd usually have to order off of BrickLink.

Outside of the pick a brick, they have a solid selection of Lego sets, from old to new. I remember walking in once and seeing an in box, unopened 2008 Lego Death Star on the shelf. Unfortunately, I didn't get the money for it before it sold, but the fact it was even there is amazing. They clearly have good connections and are a reputable buyer if people are willing to sell such expensive sets to them.

The minifigure selection is also great. I've bought a number of harder to find minifigs before, and they're almost always good priced. The build your own Minifigure is great as well, however they don't have as many options for pieces as the Lego store does, but it's not surprising, and what they do have is enough to allow you to be as creative as you want.

Overall, All Time Toys is probably my favorite toy shop in Maryland. I can't say I've had a negative experience, and I've never left thinking "I spent more than I should have." Great place, and you should check it out if you...

I have always gone to All Time Toys all these years since 2012, when they were still located in Main Street, Ellicott City, MD. Even if they have now moved to Sykesville, MD, I still make the drive out from DC to visit this store from time to time.

The staff is very friendly, very knowledgeable about all things pop culture, and offer reasonable prices for hard-to-find items. I'm primarily a Star Wars collector. All Time Toys carry a lot of merchandise from this franchise, both current and vintage figures in 3.75-inch, 6-inch, and 1/6th scale figures. I'm into Hot Toys figures now and they carry a lot of those as well. If you have a gap in your collection (for 3.75 and 6 inch figures), you'll most probably find the missing piece here.

I believe that customer service makes or breaks an establishment. The staff at All Time Toys has one of the best I've experienced. In fact, during my last visit, I wasn't really planning on getting anything in particular, but the combination of how they treat their customers, going out of their way to find something in the back for you, the very good prices (standard retail price on most of them), and good selection and availability, I found myself picking up a Hot Toys Avengers Endgame Black Widow...

We finally got to the new location, and I'm happy to say the store layout was even better. There's plenty of front door parking, making the store easily handicap accessible. More room allows the store to be far more organized and the toys are grouped by theme.

There's a little of everything: recent releases, used toys and games, and t-shirts. Up front are more of the popular lines, like Marvel and Pokemon. The Funko Pops are in their appropriate section to make them easier to find and are spread throughout the store. Horror was in the back of the store, easy for the little ones to avoid. The individual LEGO bricks are in the middle, making it easier for multiple people to look. There's a couch and game area, much better for waiting if one of your party is...
