This place is amazing! I went in to ask for advice on some vintage cards I have, and I met Ronnie…read more He's an incredible person - if PSA graded people, he'd be mint. Ronnie was super helpful, fun to talk to, and gave me a ton of advice. He's passionate about what he does, knows his stuff, and has a great collection of all sorts of collectibles. I visited Elite Cards #2, and I'm sure I'd have the same great experience at his other store. He wouldn't take a dime from me, by the way. You really should check it out!

Got a call back saying it was repaired ready to pick up, got there, and they tested but unfortunately the disk tray got stuck and said it'll be repaired the next day. I was completely fine with that because they cared about customer satisfaction and their work. Called me back after I got home saying they would deliver it straight to my house! Even better! Now it works like new! I haven't touched this Ps2 since 2013 and now in the big 26 works better than ever. Thanks for bringing back my childhood!

For a chess player (as I am), this is the coolest shop.  The friendly and laid back owners are the…read morehusband and wife team of Tom and Marguerite Paravola.  There aren't a lot of brick and mortar chess shops like this in the entire country and they have been at it here in Elmhurst for 20+ years.  It was a total blast to look, feel, and touch the various chess pieces and sets.  I ended up buying a magnetic wooden chess set and it was worth it to me to see and touch what I was buying.  Yes, you can buy sets via online shopping, but like clothes, I want to know what I'm really getting.  Yes, there is a modest premium for that but well worth it given the multitude of available choices.  Besides, while browsing, you get to chat it up with Tom who is a chess lover, and that's worth something too!  While browsing, I particularly liked the look and feel of some heavy metal pieces made in Italy, and I've never touched pieces that sturdy and heavy, and maybe one day I'll splurge the $400 for such a set of chess pieces.  They have limited hours as Tom actually still works another job!  Yet, he still has time to also run a free weekly Tuesday night casual chess meetup night in the neighborhood and all are welcome.  Keep it up, best wishes, and thank you!

Great selection great people. Enjoyed it picking out our new set! We will be back again!read more

We cannot say enough good things about SMASH Toys…read more They took our order over the phone, then came in on a day they were closed so someone could pick it up. And as if that wasn't already incredible, they wrapped the gift for us, too. All of this was done with one simple goal in mind: to help make a kid's Christmas dream come true. Mission accomplished. Thanks to their kindness, flexibility, and genuine care, we are officially the coolest aunt and uncle on the planet, and that's a title we don't take lightly. This is what a local business looks like when it's run with heart. SMASH Toys didn't just sell a toy; they delivered joy, generosity, and a Christmas memory that will last forever. If you're shopping local and want service that goes so far above and beyond it feels unreal, this is the place. The Eagle Has Landed!

Ladies and gentlemen, Boys and girls,…read moreCome with me and you'll be, In a world of pure imagination..... Walking into Smash Toys made me feel like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory and I had the Golden Ticket. Every toy I remembered as a kid is in here. You will be overwhelmed by the nostalgia of your youth. From old toys to new, Smash Toys has it all. But seriously Johnathan has a great shop filled with new toys everytime I have come in. The store is a awesome treat and I have a blast talking to him about the toys from the 80s... Also If you have toys to sell skip the ebay hassle and outrageous fees cause you will get a good deal on your stuff. Trust me I know. Don't give you money to a greedy corporation... And if you are from out of town make this a place to visit and take some time to relive the glory days we had as kids.
