We went again today like normal, and everything was good until we were in the last section we wanted to look at. A worker walked over to us, I'm assuming the manager, he said " think it's time for you to leave now". We were both confused and asked him "what?". He told us that his worker said that we were rude to him and that we threatened to "walk on the tables". We were both shocked and confused because we were never rude to an employee let alone even see an employee the whole time we were there. We tried to tell him that we never did that and that we would like to hear the employees side since the manager said we were rude to the employee. The manager refused to let us talk to or even explain further with what happened with this employee. By the time we were by the door we asked again to talk to the employee who we were accused of being so rude to, and this manager said he doesn't want to argue and that he will call the cops on us if we don't leave. Don't waste your time at this store, they are rude and uncooperative when there is any kind of issue. Stay away and do not support them.

Some of these one star reviews are weird. Why would a vintage toy store "bargain" with you for…read moreexample? And--Don't touch things if you're going to place them back anywhere other than where they belong. This is a vintage toy store. Think of it like a museum of sorts, but one where you actually have the privilege to own the pieces. Be respectful. All of those bad reviews sound like people who don't understand that... Anyway...I ordered online so I'm reviewing the online experience--which was great. Packaging must have been good because my dad got his G.I. Joe in perfect condition. The owner, or the owner's son, emailed me personally immediately after I ordered to simply check to make sure the address was correct because my address and the shipping address were different--so they obviously genuinely care about their items and offering quality service to customers. And my dad, as a child, actually had the exact G.I. Joe I bought for him. He said when he opened the package it immediately unlocked childhood memories he'd forgotten about. He said it was the best birthday gift he'd gotten. And nothing beats getting your dad a good birthday gift. (Except maybe buying your parents a house, but, I'm not quite there yet.) You can't trust buying a G.I. Joe from just anyone/anywhere. This place has a G.I. Joe specialist who inspects the figures before they're available for sale. That means you're not getting some counterfeit replica pieces sold to you like you might elsewhere. I would absolutely order again from this place, and hope I have the opportunity to. I'll be checking back every now and then for future G.I. Joes that my dad doesn't have yet.

The last time I visited Toys Time Forgot in Canal Fulton, I literally had to buy more memory for my…read morephone--I took that many pictures. It's just one of those places where the nostalgia hits you like a wave. Every aisle is filled with treasures from your childhood: toys you had, toys you wanted but couldn't afford, and even some you totally forgot existed until they were right there in front of you. I told a friend recently that if I had a million dollars to spend only on toys, I'd still leave that store with a wishlist. It's that packed with incredible finds. They have toys dating all the way back to the 1920s, through the golden eras of the '50s, '60s, '70s, and into the '80s and '90s--the stuff we now lovingly call "vintage" or "retro." From Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Star Wars to Marvel Comics, classic board games, and massive collectible statues, the selection is wild. I'm doing a couple of photo dumps just to show people how deep the nostalgia runs there. It's more than a store--it's an experience. If you're within driving distance, I highly recommend making a day of it. Explore the beautiful town of Canal Fulton, grab some food, and then spend time walking through this amazing shop. You won't regret it. And if you're not local--good news--they ship nationwide (possibly even worldwide). Right now they've got a spring sale: 20% off most items, and even 10% off statues and busts. Plus, they're gearing up for a huge Free Comic Book Day event, with a block party, vendors, and performers. Definitely worth checking out. Keep an eye out for flyers about NEO Con while you're there, and block out some time--you're going to need it!

It's an outdoor furniture / accessories place from the outside but then you go inside and see all of these amazing and unique toys and the other part of the building on the inside is a kennel! I will focus on the toy aspect on this visit. They have toys primarily featured for kids 14 and under. You might find a few family games but there's plenty of gag gifts for everyone and very small gifts like little balloon dogs, kazoos, harmonicas, whoopie cushions for everyone to enjoy. I even found my favorite Mad Libs books too after picking out the perfect Christmas gift for a family member

You can tell the toys are high quality and are going to last a long time. I don't see a lot of these toys in regular stores and that's my favorite part.

Oh and they also own Bennetts on the same lot and have the coolest play grounds for kids + really nice outdoor furniture!

They do not deal with trains, Thomas the Tank, or the rails for trains. I did not see comics or tabletop games. The staff is super friendly and helpful. It's located in downtown Ravenna so decent parking is hard to find. I have been here twice. I would return if I had business with them, but it's not a place to just hang our at.

Now, to count the reasons I love this store: + Elegant bridal gifts. + Gorgeous baby gifts. The most stunning collection of stuffed animals and German teddy bears. + Fantastic small gifts for the "I don't know what to get them" person. + Classy stationary (this is HARD to find). But the most interesting thing about Daydreams & Tea is their self-proclaimed interest in "Regina"-alogy. A play on genealogy named after the owners' mother, this shop encourages both genealogical projects and storytelling. What do I mean by that? + Genealogical projects: they have gorgeous sets of family tree sets, storytelling frames, shadowboxes to frame family mementos, and specific frames for family art. + Storytelling: they collect pieces from local families, and encourage them to leave their stories behind for others to discover. For example, they currently have a fascinating antique piano (for sale). Inside, there's a handwritten note from a family in 1978 explaining the history of the piano when they acquired it, telling the story of its 1892 origins. They believe in making the world a little smaller by encouraging families to tell their stories, and I love it. Check out all the photos I added to get a glimpse of everything above!

Knight Convention Center in downtown Akron, Rubber City Comics is a must-visit for comic book fans. Formerly known as The Newsstand at Quaker Square, the shop is now celebrating an incredible 50 years of serving the community. I had the pleasure of chatting with Camryn, who was super friendly and knowledgeable. She told me all about their new comic book arrivals every Wednesday and their huge Funko Pop selection--perfect for collectors! The store also has an impressive range of back issues, supplies, toys, and graphic novels, so if you're hunting for a rare find or just browsing, there's something for you. In addition to celebrating their milestone anniversary, they're hosting a big sale and giving away free comics for Free Comic Book Day--happening tomorrow! Some items will be discounted up to 50% off, so it's the perfect time to stop by and support a longtime local favorite. Don't miss it. Tell them NEO ComicCon sent you. Also be sure to follow and like Akron Comicon

Unfortunately, I went on Joe, the owner's off day, so I didn't get a chance to say hi to him, but his staff is always warm and friendly. I dig the amount of Star Wars memorabilia he has, along with all the other toys, collectible card games, tabletop games, and of course, the pinball machines. He also has new Comics weekly along with some back issues, stickers, supplies, and some really great statues. They run Magic the Gathering nights and other gaming functions please jump on their Facebook page to see their schedule. If you're looking for collectible card games singles, they also have probably one of the largest supplies in Northeast Ohio. Check out the 55 pictures I shot. Anytime I shoot 55 pictures tells me that there's so much goodness in there that I can't make up my mind which pictures to shoot. We appreciate the support that they've given us over years. We've loved to have folks go and say hi to them. Kidforce is easy to get to, right in downtown Berea .

Went by…read morebefore my flight back home and arrived at noon but the arcade doesn't open up til 2pm but the owner of Kidforce was there and opened it up for me to flip in early which was super generous. The machines also played really well and had a good mix from solid states through the latest Stern release, The Uncanny X-Men. Had a great time on the machines which range from $0.50 to $1 a play and even put up some initials. Definitely a fun spot to flip at and they also have video games. The owner mentioned to me that they are getting their liquor license soon so you'll be able to have a beer while you flip in the future!

When I was finally able to go for a visit, I thought it was cool shop, with a nice little selection of Pops. But then they told me to go to the back room, and I was b l o w n away! Two and a half walls FILLED top to bottom with Pops. I had never seen such a huge selection. I actually bought so much at SGE that they effectively killed a first time visit I'd planned to a another toy shop nearby. They also have super-friendly staff here that made me feel like I was an old friend, even though it was my first time here. If you are a collector of Funko Pops, comic books, vinyl records, action figures, and/or toys...SGE is absolutely worth your time and money. I will definitely be back!

This time the sale section was abundant and had savory items like instant cup noodles and chips! Between the BF and me, we cleared that section out, hahaha! We finally signed up for their rewards but because Medina is so dang far from both of us, their expiration on the points you earn is only 1.5 months or something, which is quite ridiculous! Make the points never expire and encourage people to come in every once in a while to redeem! I did hear about an Independence location opening so I'll probably check that out!

For the most part everything is well organized with the exception of some of the random areas. They just have so much it takes awhile to look through.

The store was clean and the few workers I saw were nice. Definitely with a visit if you are in the area.
