    Came to HobbyTown Toms River for Pokémon cards. There's a strict "one pack per person" rule --…read moreunless, of course, you're a friend of the staff. I watched another customer get three packs no problem, but when I asked for the same, I was told the exception was only because they "knew him" and the cards were for his kids (that apparently doesn't matter if they are there or not) to quote what I heard a worker say one-time "doesn't matter if you bring your friends or family and they are there it's still limited to one per person." The next day? The rule was suddenly back in full force for everyone else. So if you enjoy selective policies and a little favoritism with your purchase, this is the place. Otherwise, don't expect fairness -- just a reminder that you're not part of the inner circle.

    HobbyTown hosted the 2024 Gundam Base release. While they weren't responsible for organizing the…read moreevent- I was able to explore the store. My partner and I both have alot of hobbies and HobbyTown had an amazing selection of items at great prices. I left with a few Gundam models and Pokemon cards with sets I haven't seen elsewhere. My partner is into dungeons and dragons as well as Warhammer and he left with books, models and a few new game sets. There's a good selection- you won't find everything you want but there's certainly some gems in here. The staff were lovely and helpful. I'd come back here next time I'm in the area.

    So there's both good and bad here…read more The good is the selection is massive. Is floor to ceiling of collectibles. The bad is the place is a disaster. Nothing is organized, a lot of stuff is broken and all over the floor so you trip over it. The owner checks eBay daily and bases his prices off that, so nothing I is the same price two days in a row unless it's actually been tagged and he rips people off if you're not careful. Don't get me wrong, it's a neat place just be smart of you are going to buy something.

    I've been to The House of Fun twice since they relocated to this much larger store in Barrington…read more Although they have a wide assortment of collectible toys, cards, video games, and comics, it can be a "house of overwhelming fun" to some. This store is jam-packed with inventory stacked from floor to ceiling so watch your step! It's not uncommon to see piles of items strewn across the floor and walkways because they have already reached the storage limit on the walls and shelves in this newer facility. I primarily come here for the comics, of which they have both a new release wall in the front of the store and a collection of back issue bins in the back of the store. And so this place can be like a treasure hunt looking for that key issue or rare gem, making it a fun place to shop. But what is not fun (and somewhat annoying) is that there are no prices on most items. It was explained to me that since there are millions upon millions of things in the store, there is no way the employees can keep up with the impossible task of pricing everything. So, instead, they wait until someone is interested in an item and inquires about the price. Then the employee checks with the owner, who presumably looks up the current market value on the item and then puts a tiny white price sticker on it. But be forewarned--just because you may see an item with an attractive price sticker already doesn't mean that's the actual House of Fun price. House of Fun only uses one specific price sticker (a small white rectangle in a particular font), and any other price tags that may be present on the item are leftover from when the owner originally acquired the collection. This is very evident in their large assortment of back-issue comics. I learned this the hard way when I found a bunch of valuable comics with dirt cheap and multi-colored price stickers on them, only to be told that those prices were incorrect. Another thing to note is the prices they are asking for on the back issue comics are either wayyyyy overpriced or a few bucks over fair market value. So, don't expect to go diving in a one-dollar bin here. Unless it's truly an essential issue you can't find anywhere else, I would say look for it elsewhere. You'll find lots of gems and essential comics at the House of Fun but not have fun with their pricing (or lack thereof).
