The vendors I have encountered have been a pleasure to work with and buy from. They even have events where you can meet artists, authors, creators, actors! Opened only Friday-Sunday. Swing by!

My husband took them there the first time, and he was amazed by the size and all the stuff there for sale. Think of it as a trade show/swap meet located in a vacant Sears in the mall. I went with them on another trip to check it out. My husband mentioned all the Funko Pops and nostalgic, old school (talking 80's) memorabilia there. What a great place! It had a little something for everyone! Some places are willing to barter; people were buying, selling, and trading. We have friends whose kids are into Pokémon and would love this place! We have returned a few more times - we just enjoy family time with a drive down to San Diego area. The mall that this place is in has some cool stores, as well as food establishments and a Regal theater. If you're driving down, make a day of it and enjoy various offerings there.

My grandchildren, like most children whose age is a single digit, think that every store should…read moresell toys and that more is better. They have a point. Grocery stores stock toys at kids' eye level. Target has several aisles stocked with toys that have their own television shows. Best Buy displays toys next to the checkout line. Gepetto's in Carlsbad is a small store stocked with top-quality toys, and in my experience staffed with people who are always eager to help and often able to help. The place is insane during the week before Christmas, but the staff somehow copes. I try not to go there at Christmastime. Shopping with a child for toys in a store whose inventory is not advertised on television is much simpler and more satisfying than taking the same kid to Target. Trust me, I've done both. Since in general the toys at Gepetto's are unknown to the child, there is far less of the "gimme gimme" that happens at Target. And whether a toy is still interesting and unbroken the next day is unrelated to its advertising. A 5-year-old in my family was astonished that there were no Minecraft toys at Gepetto's, and asked if we could go to the nearby bookstore because it would for sure have Minecraft toys. I find Gepetto's selection of child-compatible art supplies to be superior to what's in stores like Michael's, but they cost more. I don't mind.

A plus is how well they take care of the merchandise you have purchased taking the time to wrap them carefully so they do not get damaged ran transporting. So far the things that I've needed I've always have no problem finding them available here. They seem to be quick to get holiday items out, which is nice. I know people shiver when they see the Christmas things being pulled to the floor early, but it's nice to get a Headstart on shopping for decorations. One thing I wish they had is more floor staff and friendly ones to match the ones working at the register. I think the prices are reasonable, very reasonable. Parking is plenty full. It does get crowded, but there is still plenty of parking. You will find me back here shopping.

Huge selection, great prices, & they're always gracious with my buddy Pete. My only hiccup was discovering at checkout that tap-to-pay isn't accepted. In hindsight, the manually entered SKU numbers should've been my clue. Nothing says "crafting vintage" like holding up the line while repeatedly trying to pay with a phone that never stood a chance.‍ Come for the deals. Stay for the cardio.
