I'm not sure what Abdul (the idiot that left the negative review) was smoking before he came in the store...but his rediculous comments could not be any farther from accurate. I have been in a lot of collectible stores from Chicago to the Suburbs, (I am an adult collector and Ebay Seller) and Waxpax (and their sister store Quake Collectibles ) is in my opinion the best example of how a business like this should be run. The stores are clean, they absolutely do not smell (in fact there was a very nice scented candle burning)..., always good music..not that dead uncomfortable silence you get in many other collectible stores......the stores are very well merchandised..everything is visible within arms reach (it's amazing..you can get lost in there looking for hours) and the owner (Aaron) will even let you go behind the counter if you need a closer look. The inventory is unbelievable...he has literally everything (Star Wars, Marvel Legends, Masters of the Universe, NECA, McFarlane..and all the others) from the latest new merchandise that you can't even find in the stores..to highly collectible and vintage items from all eras, lines and toy companies. Aaron..the owner is a true knowledgeable collector and a great businessman...he is always courteous...his prices are always fair/ reasonable..he is willing to negotiate when necessary ..he not only sells but also buys items/toys/ vinyl. ..etc....and he has never not made every effort to make a sale..or a purchase. Everytime he gets in new items he immediately posts on Facebook photos...and he even operates at all the major toy shows/ toy con. So going back to Abdul's negative comments.(literally rediculous..I mean read them and you can tell this guy is a troll)..this guy does not know what he is talking about (clearly someone that is instigating trouble) I would not only reccomend this business...it is the only place I consistently bring my business back to. Aaron..keep up the good work...you ate doing a great job and I appreciate your business. ...
Read moreIt's okay but the store abhoringly smells so bad and some of the toys in the shop are dusty,scattered,and not in order from the genres for example a batman action figure is mixed with all the other action figures. The place is also dirty and has bad music. It felt as if I am in a mental asylum when I went there, and it's also hard to find the toys your looking for and when you ask the employee to find this particular thing it's hard for him or her to interpret where that thing is you want,and I think this is totally absurd and an enigma. But wait the whole store is also dirty including everything in it for example mostly toys,but the thing that bugs me is that Imagining the people picking that crap,which the shop owners consider the crap as toys, imagine those people getting infections,and that is...
Read moreAs someone who routinely frequents all the vintage toy shops in and around Chicago, I can confidently say Wax Pax is the best in the ‘burbs. Great, always changing selection with prices that can’t be beat. Aaron the owner is incredibly friendly and always remembers me when I come in. If you have one store to visit in the area, it’s this one. I have been to plenty other toy shops in the burbs where the owners truthfully have no business being in the toy game, having no clue what it is they are evening selling. Let’s say some of the other stores are best sticking to stuff like Pokémon cards and Fucko Pops. Wax Pax is THE store to visit if you’re a MOTU, GI Joe, Star...
