Billed as a "mom and pop" toy shop, it certainly makes one think back to the toy shops of yesteryear for those of us old enough to remember shopping for toys "pre-Internet". A surprisingly strong selection of toys, games and gifts. My daughters are already talking about what they'll pick out "next time".

This is literally the best toy shop I know. The staff is always helpful and cheerful and they are…read morealways well stocked on really well designed toys. Most of the staff at any given time knows all about most of the toys If not all of the toys. Anytime I need to buy a present for someone I can count on the staff to tell me all the good options for all different interests and explain each and every one of them to me. They always have great suggestions, cheerfully take any products back and gift wrap for free. It is a small store but they know their stuff and they do a fantastic job!

The staff is friendly, helpful, and welcoming. As an adult, I could spend hours checking out all the new arrivals. It was challenging to pick the right items for the different ages on my list. Hopefully the items chosen will be appreciated and enjoyed for many hours. There is also plenty of accessible parking right in front of the shop.

Sure a ferris wheel in Time square is great but this place says Old meets new like no other toy store in America. It has every time you can imagine as well as the new candy store they finished a little over a year ago. One of the few places you can go to get clean bathrooms without a line out the door also. Go to the bottom floor, turn left walk a few feet and THERE YOU GO! Try walking on the huge piano too! ITs great fun.. and this is the toy store that Home Alone was taped in too!

I've pretty much depleted my decades long accumulation of baseball cards so now I'm into selling off my football cards. I walked into DJ's Comics and Cards to sell six vintage New York Giants cards from the late 1950's and early 1960's. I had done my pricing research, and after correcting for condition and selling to a retailer, I had an idea what to ask for. He offered me $5 less than my assesment, so I countered with his cash offer plus $5 in store credit and that clinched the deal. I ended up using the store credit toward buying a Tom Brady and a Kobe Bryant card for my grandson. DJ's made me a very fair offer and we were both satisfied with the outcome. The store has quite a bit more comics than cards, but I sure enjoyed looking at the shopwcases and rummaging through the commons boxes.
