Overall solid recommendation for a toy store

Shopping for a very specific anime gift for a teen friend I knew I went to the right place when Mr. Wayne himself gave me a very detailed tour of his wares. This world today is far more complex than it was back in my Batman and Robin days, so I was very happy to get the assistance. They have every price point and virtually every character. While it is packed with product, it is the kind of store that every corner you look at you find something fun. Great service, good prices and a very broad assortment= hours of fun every visit!

My brother is a big gamer, and I also enjoy board games, so my family swung in here while having…read morelunch in Downers Grove. There were lots of board and card games of all sorts, as well as dice, miniatures and paints, and a gaming area for community games. I appreciate that the rules for the space are clearly posted on the wall behind the register, so the expectation for everyone is established (I would imagine it makes it easier for staff to enforce as well, because they can just refer to the sign). The clerk was very friendly and gave me some info about a game I was interested in (a collaborative version of "The Fox in the Forest"; my fiance and I love the original version), which I ended up purchasing! Glad to support a local business! I'll be back for more games.

Every time I've ever stopped in, I've been treated kindly & with respect by the staff working there - which is *not* a given when you're a solo guy with tattoos shopping alone, trust & believe that. A really helpful & nice gentleman named Jackson showed me the "buy 1, get one 1 free" deal they were running for some of their paints. He made the process of shopping for/choosing different colors or different formulas really easy, & honored the deal fairly! He was helpful & cool. Anyone who is into wargaming, table top miniatures etc KNOWS that any kind of buy 1, get 1 deal on high end paints like Citadel, Vallejo or Army Painter is an insanely good value. Also, there has always been some kind of community gaming event happening whenever I've stopped in; which tells me it's *clearly* an important hub for the TCG/TWG community. As a hobbyist, grateful to have the store around. (PS, if you stock the new GW Aeldari kits for Lhykhis, Baharroth, or Swooping Hawks, I'd buy them)

I've seen figures here I hadn't ever seen in the wild, Galactus in box anyone? They carry many of the brands you could want; including Superhero stuff, Transformers, Star Wars, Lego, G.I. Joe, and Wrestling figures. I was happy to pay the low end of list price, and great costs for some loose figures. The owner even knocked a few bucks off, good guy. My only complaint, as a big fatty with bad knees, the store is literally filled with toys, boxes with toys, and plastic shelves with toys. A price I'm willing to pay for the selection they had.

One whole side of the store is dedicated to serious train hobbyists and the model train display they have set up is really impressive. Working lights, train whistles, buildings and landmarks including the car spindle. 8. Huge collection of Thomas the Train trains, accessories and pretty much everything a Thomas the Train fan would love 7. Really nice selection of imaginative play toys--think legos, blocks, dolls, Playmobile, cars, trucks, farm animals. Less whistles and lights, more back to basics play 6. Friendly service. Offered a lot of information to me and my husband when we inquired about train tables 5. Clean and well laid-out 4. Reasonable prices. It's a bit pricier than big box stores but the selection of trains and cars is worth future visits 3. Three children's train tables set up to keep busy hands occupied (and gives the parents ideas on which trains are said child's favorites) 2. Not far from good eats 1. It's on Historic Route 66!

I know email tone can be misinterpreted but as a representative she completely turned me off from visiting again in person or recommending to any of my friends and family. Good customer service is essential these days if you expect to keep customers! Not to mention the increased prices of Gepetto's toys compared to other businesses. Yes the quality is good, but it's not an excuse to be crappy towards your customers. There are other options in the area. I'd recommend they get a new person answering emails unless the business supports that type of behavior.
