Even when she's not in town, I find myself going there for her to get Sonny Angels and Smiskis that are oh so popular these days. The store's entrance has slightly been taken over by blind boxes, but if you step to the other side, there are so many exciting toys all over the place here. It's always a thrill to step in and find a little trinket to take home with me. A true toy store. We are lucky to still have some like this in Austin. RIYL: Childhood wonder

I went to the store for the first time today. It's a retro toy store on 8th Street in the Square…read more Upon entering the store I was so wonderfully amazed. I was not expecting this store to be so awesome. They have things from 60s 70s 80s 90s etc. They had Rockem-Sockem Robots! They had care bears, they had Dr. Seuss books, they had OG trolls (I got three of these!). They had pinball machines. They had slinky. They had the magic eight ball. They just had too many things for me to mention, and all of them were amazing! I wish I had known about this store last Christmas-- Good thing there's next Christmas :) Their prices are quite affordable. The little trolls were a 1.50. The Dr. Seuss book was $9.99. The care Bear was $13. They have so many wonderful product products and they are displayed beautifully. It's a fun place just to walk around and look! I highly recommend you visit. The service was really good by the way. The sales clerk allowed us to walk-through and didn't pester us. However, when I asked her about things, she was very enthusiastic and she knew about the products. I appreciated that. I highly recommend you visit!

I'm not sure how long Lazer Beam has been in downtown Georgetown but it's an amazing toy story! It…read morereminds me of Toy Joy, but on a smaller scale. There is a wide variety of eclectic toys, games, knickknacks, etc. they have several tables where you can explore/play with some of the toys and items they have for sale. This makes it especially fun for kids to have a hands on approach- not like department stores where everything is packaged and shelved. I do believe some items are a bit pricey but that's to be expected from a stand alone toy store. We did purchase two 3-D printed toys. I was hoping to get some more exciting items, but my son has taken a liking to these 3D creatures. They were $17 each, higher than when I've paid most times, but also fairly acceptable in price. The employee working made some small talk, but she wasn't entirely personable. I feel that businesses geared mainly to our children should have employees with bright and bubbly personalities. I understand that's not always a possibility, but I do feel it makes the whole experience better for everybody. The only true con to our experience was that the story reeked of cat urine. They did have the doors open with a fan blowing out, so maybe they're aware and trying to get rid of it, I'm not sure. But it wasn't a pleasant smell at all. With all that being said, we will be back. I've made note of things we plan to buy in the future lol.

TLDR: Fantastic toy shop with a huge and carefully curated selection. Wide variety of price points…read moreand fun for all ages. A few play areas plus a coffee shop. This toy store is the bee's knees! I thought I was taking my kids to a place for them to have fun but I ended up loving it as well. Aside from constantly running around to put back whatever my 2-year-old pulled off the shelf, I had a great time. Here's why this store rocks: SELECTION/CURATION: Fantastic selection. The store is pretty large and full of so many different things. There are your usual suspects i.e. dolls and dinosaurs but you can also find more unexpected items like a great selection of kites or a big shelf of finger puppets. The items seem very carefully curated. I noticed that a lot of their toys are from established quality brands or from overseas. Bought a little wooden magnetic train that was made in Ukraine. PRICE POINT: There are things at various price points. $100+ and under $1. So don't worry about your kids begging for a toy because there's a huge shelf of small toys (plastic bugs, balls, miniatures, and so much more) that are anywhere from .50 to $10. PLAY AREAS: There are several small play areas for kids including one that's more geared toward babies and toddlers. Aside from that, the whole store is a play area. Just do your best to clean up after them, obviously. BATHROOMS: Great bathroom situation. There are gendered bathrooms plus an all-gender bathroom. Each bathroom has an awesome diaper changing station with... drum roll please... FREE DIAPERS AND WIPES. I've never seen that before. So awesome. ALL AGES FUN: Honestly, this store is fun for all ages. There is a large rack of wacky sunglasses and a section for whimsical hats (obsessed with the Medusa hat). There are more grown-up toys like board games and puzzles (Rubik's cube and much more). There's a cabinet of collectible Matryoshka dolls. There are fun nostalgic items like a Sea-Monkeys kit. So much fun stuff to explore. COFFEE SHOP: There is a coffee shop attached to the store. It's super cute and filled with art from local artists for sale. Always awesome when you can get a coffee to give you an energy boost so you can be better at chasing after your kid. There are also two large chess sets available for use. Ultimately, this place is fantastic. I plan on bringing my family here anytime we need a gift for a birthday party. Amazon gets enough of my money already -- I'd be glad to support this wonderful shop and show my kids an awesome time while we're at it.

Super family-friendly and kid-friendly environment, with really great customer service every time. Fair prices and vendors willing to negotiate and work with customers on market value.

There is a good variety of sellers selling sealed ETB's, premium collector boxes, booster bundles, and booster boxes, loose packs, and singles as well. There are also some sports card sellers who also have a nice mixture of modern to junk wax to older eras. There is also an arcade machine, comfy couches, and some seating at long tables so you can do some ripping and box breaks in house! Nostalgic collectibles round out the place along with some comic books for purchase. Definitely my go to TCG shop and it should be yours too!

I got to spend my time painting, talking about Warhammer, and getting away from everything. Lucas the store manager is great, the people I met in the store is great, the selection is great. It's a good day if I'm able to make it to this store. Sometimes, the grim darkness of the far future is the best way to get away from the grim darkness of reality. I think people need to understand the reality of running a one person store. If you're one person working the entire store gets sick, you can't open. Check the store's Facebook page to see if something's going on.
