This place is so unique and one of the coolest toy stores. Their Barbie wall with vintage and…read morecollector Barbie's are awesome! They're also extremely affordable. So if you miss the feel of the old Barbie and want to collect or get one for your child, this is the place to go! It's around $15-65. That's the average range depending on packaging, year, and rarity. There is also some extreme collection ones though that are higher priced and porcelain. But never seen this in a toy store before and it was pretty dang cool. They also have a crazy cool selection of 3D printed toys and characters which I thought was great. I was told the owner makes it with their family members so that's a nice mom and pop add on to the store. Definitely will be back!

I took my kid here a few days ago. He's been there once with someone else and really liked. They…read morehad a bunch of different toys there. Some were old toys I used to play with when I was a kid. The owner of the store was really nice. He talked about the history of some toys and how they worked. Really nice guy. I describe him as, the candyman of toys. The prices there weren't too bad either. My kid wanted this umbrella toy but they only had the display model available. He told us to come back tomorrow and he'd have more. I think they make some of their toys with a 3D printer or something. We'll be back again.

Yep!

*READ*... I've spent a lot of money at Truckee Variety Co…read more because I genuinely wanted to support a local business, even though everything is pretty overpriced. Just the day before this happened, my best friend and I spent over $100 there. The reason I wanted to look at the giant cheese squishy was because I'd already bought the mini version before, and it honestly didn't live up to how it was advertised. It wasn't what I expected at all, and since the store doesn't allow returns, I was stuck with something I regretted buying. I didn't want to make the same mistake again. Since there weren't any display samples, we carefully opened the giant one just to see what it was actually like. We weren't trying to steal it or damage it--we were planning to put it back and were deciding whether it was worth buying. Instead, the owner immediately started yelling at us and made us feel like we were about to get kicked out. It was embarrassing and completely unnecessary. If you're charging premium prices and don't allow returns, customers should at least be able to see what they're buying before spending their money. I used to enjoy shopping here, but after this experience, I'm honestly not sure I'll be spending my money here again. AND YES, what I did was wrong but I apologized and walked out...

He was very excited to get something from this toy store as it's a really neat store. This time however my son walked to the desk for the magnets without me. He is a melanated little kiddo, I'm looking at a $45 board game and I hear the woman at the desk say to him "oh no those need to stay up here because they are expensive" when my son is trying to excitedly show me they had these spek magnets we already have sets of at home. He's goes "yeah, look there's gold and rainbow!" I say awesome let's get both the woman interupts again and says "oh you should probably get one there a lot of money" I go "how much are they?" She says "$30" I say as my son looking disappointed putting one back "no baby get both that's not something you have to worry about, I'm going to get some of the other ones to" I say with other items in my hand. This woman was clearly profiling my child that is not white. She made assumptions. We kept it nice at the counter and my kiddo shared about his chickens and animals like he does at home and he's still to young to notice racism. But the palisades openly shows a flag with the words "all are welcome here."
