Overall: Go dive for toy treasure, whether it's for nostalgia or your current favorites. You won't leave empty handed.
The good: Hits the feels pretty good. Toys from every generation, from vintage sports figures, Simpsons, Transformers, Star Wars, to Doctor Who, LOTR, and the Walking Dead. You'll be hard pressed to not find something to walk out with. And, the prices are friendly for any consumer. I bought 4 figurines for under $20. Or, you could spend $100's on pricier items if you wish. The dis-organized chaos of the toys is honestly appealing to me. It's like going on a treasure hunt, you don't know what you'll find. Service was super friendly, and he played great music.
The not-so-good: Get's a little cramped when there are other people in the store, but that's also part of the charm. You're just overwhelmed with toys and stuff. Wish there would have been more various genres, 75% seemed to be Star Wars and comic book...
