Memory Lane Toys — Local services in Tacoma

My wife and I stopped in on a whim while in town for a concert. The store is not large, but logically organized and had a good selection of newer and older collectibles and antiques. What sets this store apart for us was the owners, who truly went above and beyond. We told them what our kid's interests were, and they made a point to let us know what all they had without being pushy.

When we started to look through their comics the owner (Tom) asked what we were looking for and we told them that our 9 year old was very interested in Indiana Jones. He proceeded to look for us through their selection and found a few which were brought to our attention. Then he remembered that they had a some in one of his boxes that they had not sorted through in the back of the store. He looked (after they were supposed to be closed) and found the a whole series of Indiana Jones comics which he sold to us at a reasonable and fair price! Santa will have a great present for our son this year!

To top it off, one of our items ($10) was accidentally left out of our bag after we had paid. The owners posted on their Facebook page trying to find us after we left, and after we left a note on their door (since we did not check their Facebook page) they called us back as soon as they opened. We had already left town, but they offered with no questions asked to ship it to us at no cost.

To say that they won us as customers that will visit every time we come to town is an understatement. Highly...

Located in Tacoma's Antique Row, this historic toy store has been bringing joy to both the young and young-hearted like myself.

Parking is on the street but not as congested as much as the usual metropolitan areas. I was able to find a spot just across the street.

This location had a mixed selection of every genre but was the most abundant on its selection of toy cars and action figures. I really enjoyed looking around and the staff working work approachable and helpful in finding what I was looking for. For me, it was a great deal on a Lego Y Wing. It didn't have all of the pieces, but they were upfront about it, and it was priced appropriately as an incomplete set.

This is a place where you can trust in honest deals, (and keep in mind that they are a resale for profit business) without being completely marked up to make it unattainable.

I had an enjoyable experience and will come back again when I'm in town.

Midas 5-stars for customer service, including honest...

When I say amazing, I mean amazing in words I can't describe! Everything, yes everything caught my eye in this place! They have so much to offer for everyone in the family to a point it's definitely worth the drive and highly recommend to come back and support a business such as this one! Also very friendly customer service! If you are a collector of anything retro or antique, this is definitely one of the best...
