We noticed Universal Toys a few times while driving in the area so we wanted to check it out…read more If you drive coming from Magnolia you might be able to park in their lot passed the store connected to the sidewalk. You might miss it since first time around it's harder to spot. But there's street parking. The store is big, not huge, clean, cool decorated with great posters and fun displays. It is enjoyable to browse, many toys and collectibles, some a tad too new. Prices vary, from reasonable to more expensive, based on the items, it makes sense. This isn't a store just for children although they have regular toys. For collectors, not the coolest items ever, but worth checking out. Nice customer service. Great to see a newer small business on Glenoaks!

Universal Classic Toys is a nearly daily trek for my son and I. The family that owns the store is…read morevery sweet. They know us by name, and frequently ask about what's new with us. As frequently as we're there, it's easy to pick out toys for our kids for birthdays and holidays. Usually, our oldest finds something he likes and plays with it every time we go in. We know that's a winner and save up to buy it for the next holiday or birthday. So far, we've picked up a vintage Disney Trivia for mom, a Little People Batman play set, numerous little cars, and Rex from Toy Story. Up next will undoubtedly be something from Pixar's Cars franchise.

Although Burbank's House of Hobbies is obviously is better than most hobby shops (and for many, it…read moreis the best), it was limited for my interests (monster kit modeling, unusual kit modeling). I was interested in the shop, but found that many of the modeling kits had been sold out and never restock. Perhaps the manufacturer simply stopped producing the kits. Maybe not. Either way, I wouldn't know. All I know is that these kits are eternally out-of-stock. After a while, I simply gave up looking, and because of such, gave up interest in the shop.

When in need of a traditional toy store... look no further. We went this past Saturday (we being my…read moregrandkids and me). Let's face it, there aren't any toy stores anymore, which is a bummer for the little ones. So I went here and Man, oh Man WOW they have all the good stuff!! Although I will comment that some of the Barbies looked... off. This place isn't cheap either, but thank goodness, they are still open. Bring your kids in and let them see the toys on the shelves and pick out the one they 'JUST HAFTA HAVE' Kites, puzzles, Barbie dolls, all sorts of trucks and toy cars, Legos, stuffed animals, and plenty more. There are also the coin-operated kiddie rides here too. Respectfully Reviewed

He said he's descended from Spanish and Italian, so his last name is Tigere, means Tiger. He's really friendly and chatty about the over 100 countries he's been to, the culture and the conversation spans to rocks of all forms including dinosaurs poops and crocodile teeth. It was very interesting and time flies talking to him. The rocks in the store prices 30,40,50+ bucks but there's no pressure from buying. The store covers old comics to rocks of all forms to small cultural artifacts of all kinds. It's worth spending time there but I felt like without Mr Tiger telling you the stories and explanations, it's a lot less interesting. He said he's there into the nights, so the ideal time to visit is probably late afternoon into the evening.

An abosutely amazing find. The building has a few rooms, gatheting items of all sorts left behind. Each piece has a story that Tiger will surely tell. The hours are a little iffy. If he is open go inside. This is defiently one of my favorite new shops.

But those that sign up for the Disney Studios Walking Tour have access to it after the tour is over. Here at this store are collectibles, costumes, gifts, apparel and toys for all things Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars. There are a lot of items for sale that you can only find at this store. I was recently on the Disney Studios Walking Tour and was able to make a stop here afterwards. I am not a huge collector person, but I did pick up a couple of small items. I did enjoy walking around the store and seeing all of the cool stuff that they have for sale.

They talked to my son about his purchase. They also gave the kids these vintage electric trains that they were so excited about. Prices were fair too. They were about the same or a little less than ordering online. But we got the perk of actually interacting with people and supporting a small business. If you need anything train related go here! We don't want to see places like this go away.
