I just wish they had another store in or closer to Northeast Philadelphia. There are plenty of vacant spaces at the Roosevelt Mall on Cottman Avenue, so that would be a great location. When I was a kid, the mall had a fantastic toy store. Let's make it that way again. Rock on, BBT!

It is so amazing to look at all the different character pops; there is really one for anything you can imagine! The sweet owners were so happy to have us there and were one of the nicest people we've ever met. They were helpful in finding us a specific pop and we ended up buying a few more to complete the collection! Going into a shop like this makes you feel good about supporting local and small businesses.

It's located INSIDE of State Theater Vintage Emporium, which is an adventure in itself. Walk in the doors, go up the stairs and its the first "big" fixture/box shop on the left. They carried everything and anything anime and Japanese from plush, figures, cards/card games to even straight from Japan video games and trinkets for Ita Bags. They even had some Pocky, Ramune and other Japanese snacks for purchase. I think we saw the owner restocking as we perused and he was very personable mentioning he could answer any questions we had. Prices were in line/if not better than ones I see at conventions and online. Overall a great place to stop if you're in the market for current or vintage Japanese goods.

They even gave me a small discount which was cool. Totally worth going to if you're a collector of more niche stuff, you never know what you might find. It might be the only place in the area that has a good selection from the timeframe I'm interested in.

There are several aisles of model train accessories, scenery, train sets and tracks of several different scale types. The prices seemed in line/a tad higher than most places I've shopped. They had an area with Thomas trains and a small end cap with a Thomas wooden train set kept my youngest occupied while we checked out the rest of their offering. They had a couple aisles of models - ships, military planes, cars etc., rocket sets, RC cars, supplies like paint and tools and some games like Warhammer which I'm not familiar with at all. I enjoyed stepping back in time while I walked around and love it that small operations like this are still around. We bought some Thomas items that were fairly priced and are happy with them. Give these guys a look if your in the area and support small businesses!

The Treasure Trove Toy Store is located in the Shoppes at Newberrytown, a borderline struggling…read moreflea market. Parking is not an issue, just grab a spot. The store is located in the middle building, behind the restaurant. Use the doors on the side of the building for the easiest access. Treasure Trove is huge and spread out, taking up a large portion of the building. Selection includes retro toys of all varieties, both new and loose, and a huge Pop Vinyl selection. Everything is very well-organized including separate rooms for specific items. Pop Vinyl's were well priced and included both common and rare ones. Huge stock of wrestling toys of all varieties, including a lot of older figures. Has a small clearance section with various items including a lot of physical media. One of the things that also stood out was the condition of items, most of the toy boxes were in good condition. Treasure Trove's biggest weakness is it being a little out of the way, and that the Shoppes at Newberrytown is not the most known place in the world. Treasure Trove really is the core of the Shoppes at Newberrytown and absolutely worth a stop.

Next to a dirt track a few hills and turns off of Interstate 83 in Neberrytown, I stumbled upon…read moreTreasure Trove by accident. It takes up most of one of the barracks representing The Shoppes at Newberrytown, a classic dirt mall that is home to a few of our area's best magick brokers and resellers of unusual ancient relics. Surprising, I know. Lady Matilda and I were meeting an antiquities dealer to procure the Emerald of Queen Zinth supposedly the gem that resurrected Lord Ghuul the Ineffable in 1233. The deal fell through because when we exposed the item to a low-level EPK resonator, it did not register the proper psychic frequency. Turns out the gem was just tinted glass from an Art Deco lighting fixture. Anyway, as Lady Matilda and I were figuring out what to do over pancakes at the nearby diner on site, I spotted a massive wall of Funko Pops through the door leading into the next section of the barracks. Pops as far as I could see; pops sufficient to build a small house. I had to investigate. While the major focus of the inventory is on professional wrestling figures and related products, Treasure Trove has a massive collection of loose figures from almost every franchise I could imagine. I was able to fill in the gaps in most of my old collections. I experienced an OCD moment as I had to dig through piles of rare items, discovering something new everywhere I looked. Each loose item was bagged and clearly priced. Boxed and packaged items are in pretty good shape and displayed safely. I didn't see much of the price gouging that is common in most used/collector toy stores. In fact, what I dropped on that first visit was pretty reasonable when I compared it to eBay and similar online resources. If you're looking for spare parts for broken toys, you'll have to dig, but there is a section of the store dedicated to them. The store also has old magazines and some comics, too. Things are organized in a general sense, but there are a lot of displays to investigate. If you go, be prepared to take some time on that first visit. The Funko Pop Wall is, indeed, massive. But the wide selection of products kept me searching the nooks and crannies of the store for an hour - which was only as long as Lady Matilda would allow me before getting ornery about it. She is not a fan of portable toilets, which is all "The Shoppes" seems to offer. Plus, she was fighting the urge to exact revenge on the dealer who had just tried to con us into buying a fake relic. (Be advised, that vendor no longer operates at that location...or in this dimension...any longer.) Since that first visit, I have returned many times, lured by a steady rotation of new items and great sales offers. The owner was also quite friendly and helpful. We chatted briefly as classic pro wrestling matches played on the overhead television.

As with most bricks and mortar hobby shops I have visited, the selection consists of the most obvious ready to run equipment, without the depth and breath of specialty goods available online. Prices are fair, without the steep discounts seen online, but without gouging. It seems to have a large selection of radio control airplanes, vehicles etc., and a good selection of plastic models. The owners are very knowledgeable however in all fields of the various hobbies.
