This an amazing store with a well stocked inventory of boxed and loose collectible toys, vinyl and pop culture items both old and new. There is stuff for adult collectors and children alike. The shop owner, Aaron is very knowledgeable and approachable and his merchandise is priced to sell fast.
Quake of Schaumburg has a Facebook page that you can "like" and then be of the first to view his daily inventory, but make sure to act quickly when you see something you like as the hot items typically sell within a day of being posted. Some of my personal favorites Aaron keeps in stock regularly include Transformers, Masters of the Universe, GI Joe and a vast collection of Marvel and DC figures.
I love being able to walk into an actual store as the toys displayed all around the store bring back good memories. I have found prices to be on par with internet pricing as well, which will keep me coming here first before seeking out my items online. Please keep up...

If you're looking for a bigger store stop by their sister store Waxpax right down the street for more...

I can say if you visit you will enjoy the store & if they do not have what you are looking for, go back again. The stock changes all the time, if you don't find what you are looking for today, try...
