    Do not look for any popular or trendy reads. Used bookstore but they had some new ones. There were good range of collectibles. They buy back books also. A lot of paperback options and kids section. *no photos because too many people **

    Our wonderful book we bought for $5!!!!

    The absolute best location....the mother ship! The flagship HPB!!!!! I could roam in here for hours. I love the fun collectibles book section and especially the enormous collection of vintage paperbacks. I was really impressed by the book buying section that had several stations and was able to process everything pretty quickly. I really want to go back and enjoy the lovely cafe in there sometime. I found a fantastic hardback of stories chosen by Alfred Hitchcock with the most incredible cover for only $5!

    As a self proclaimed bibliophile I knew I had to visit the biggest Half Price Books store in the country! Their flagship store is insanely big with a huge selection of books, records and DVDs. There is also an amazing restaurant and coffee shop inside the building where you can grab a coffee or something to eat while you shop around. The store is open from 9:00am - 10:00pm daily, and they have numerous events happening every week ranging from book signings to storytime for the little ones. I particularly enjoyed browsing through their rare and first edition selection, where I was able to find a signed first edition of one of my favorite books. My only complain and the reason why I am giving them four stars is because they have a "romance" section that doesn't seem to be shelved correctly. Instead all the book categories that are fiction are combined in another section which is a little bit of a headache since it's huge and include anything and everything under the sun. I would've loved if they had all the nonfiction books properly shelved with their correct group like mystery, fantasy, romance, etc. Overall, a great experience and would still come back just to see what other new gems I can find in their rare and first edition section!

    I've been to many HPB locations. But I am officially wowed. This place is huge (over 2-1/2 acres - I checked) Ok it's the flagship store - but really. If you've never been to a HPB prices are less than retail. Sometimes more than 1/2 off retail. The selection was amazing. There are rare books, vinyl records, cassettes, DVDs, and video games. There's a map of subject areas that got me to the general area. Plus plenty of places to sit and read with an attached coffee shop for the caffeine fix. I found enough books for my bookcase and keep me reading for a couple of months. I could have bought more. But I'll save those for another trip.

    This flagship location has plenty of shopping and a couple different entrances. Plan on having some time when you come to visit so you can browse your to be read list and the variety of books available. Your odds of finding a couple items on your list are pretty good. There are a couple seating areas and a cafe to be able to sit, read and hang out. There is a variety of prices for your budget. While I didn't see many workers wondering around, when it came to checkout it was pretty quick.

My granddaughter found several books to start off her summer reading. A nice gentleman checked us out. We were on our way and happened to notice the cafe. Just couldn't miss picking up a little treat :-)

I am reminded of this classic Yoda teaching every time I…read morewalk into Dallas Vintage Toys, which definitely lives up to its reputation as one of the best vintage toy outlets in the country. The first time I went there, it was admittedly a bit overwhelming as it took me an hour or so just to get a grasp on the lay of the land. DVT really shines with vintage Star Wars and GI Joe '70s and '80s figures, vehicles, and playsets - both loose, on card and in box. It's just as much of an art gallery as it is a retail business. DTV has a dedicated room of officially graded toys if you're looking very top of the line, several thousand dollars in value. And it also has loose complete Star Wars figures you can buy for $24.99, depending on the character. I really enjoy re-releases of my favorite toys growing up, and often prefer commemorative editions so I can enjoy the nostalgia without the heavy financial investment, and DVT has good finds of later releases. There's so much variety. If you don't prefer figures, you might score an item like the Yoda puppet from Empire Strikes Back or other merchandise you don't see all the time. While DVT makes its high-value offerings visible, you might very well dig up some treasure in the aisles as you browse. This past weekend, I came across the Hot Toys Jack Nicholson '89 Joker 1/6 scale figure - an undeniable Grail. It was just hanging out in the Batman section on the shelf with the rest. I forced myself not to look in the box and walk away as I've never seen it in person - I knew I would fall in love. It's $500 I don't have to explain to my wife! While I have purchased a few things from DTV, I am not familiar with the experience of selling a collection there. In the late 90s/early 2000s, I sold many of my old figures to a similar establishment and really regret it. What I will say is that Shaun and his staff are readily available for advice and to bounce ideas off of, and so, if you want to sell, it's definitely worth consulting with them. Just know you very well could get a third of what you perceive your collection to be worth - and that's anywhere. These businesses need to eat and pay bills just like the rest of us! If you haven't been to this nostalgia museum, take some time to relax, know your spending limits before walking in, and enjoy. May the Force Be With You!

They have an excellent array of new toy collectibles, vintage toys, parts, grab bags, MOC, video games, reissues, comics, lunchboxes, etc... etc... One thing that really pleases me about this place is that since I started going there a few years ago, they've expanded their girl-centric vintage toys. I've purchased many pink box Barbies from them for my collection. I feel like their prices are fair when you compare costs to the same items on eBay which is kind of exploitative to sellers anyway. I haven't sold anything to DVT yet, but I feel like I could trust that they would be fair. I think it's important to understand what DVT specializes in and not walk in expecting to sell them just anything and get a pretty penny for it. They do a great job of organizing and displaying everything as well and they keep their social media updated daily with new merchandise. They also have celebrity meet and greets too which is fun and they also have the occasional sidewalk sale (so sad I missed the last one). I really can't understand why anyone would rate DVT low. It's an amazing place.

There's a large corner with chairs up by the big glass windows that is very cozy. There are fans. Yeah. I love fans. I don't know if they have a book club but there is room for that! I didn't get a chance to really explore the store as I was on the hunt for children's books. I have to say that there was a very kind manager there to help, but children's books seemed to be everywhere in this midstore nook area that had children's books on shelves and in boxes on the floor. I didn't have the ability to get down low and check them all out. 75% of the books I looked at had some kind of minor boo boo. But I was realistic. If this was my child, I wouldn't care about that. They were clean. There were so many varieties. However, I was buying a gift and didn't know how the mother would feel. Really, most were in excellent shape considering we are talking kids here and I WAS looking for a two year old. In the end I found three highly regarded used books for $18 total. One had a spot of coffee or hot chocolate? Yum. lol Anyway, I found out they buy back books here. I can't really say that I absolutely understand the process, but I do know that STORE CREDIT is a big part of the plan. What a deal to keep recirculating books for reading. For those looking to make money on their books, they do offer cash for more current titles based on original sales price. They take into consideration condition and inflation. Just ask. Lucky Dog Books is a very intimate browsing experience. It's comfortable. They have DVDs, VHS tapes, Music - CD's, sets. And books. Check it out.
