I did not visit with my kids, but I know my kids would have loved this toy store. They love any kind of store where they can touch and play with the merchandise, and Toys Forever is such a place. It's very hands-on. There are toys all around that people can pick up and experience, which is very cool. Even though my children were not with me, I visited Toys Forever because I wanted to get my kids something from Muncie as a souvenir. You see, I was just passing through this fine city. My kids love things that are superlative: "The world's tallest X" or "The worl'd fastest Y." So when I saw The World's Biggest Candy Necklace near the checkout counter, I grabbed two. Done and done! The candy necklaces were a hit, as I thought they would be, and they only cost a few dollars each. There are fun things for all ages and at all price points here. The people who helped me were super friendly, and I saw that they were helping several other people find what they needed and answered questions. I love charming locally owned stores like this one.

This past weekend, I spent some time in downtown Muncie. While I'm nearly always in Muncie for…read morebusiness or a project, on this visit I actually had some time to do some exploring including checking out downtown's Toys Forever Models & Hobbies shop. Located in the historic Goddard building (originally built in 1884), Toys Forever is a locally owned hobby shop started in 2007 and launched an online presence in 2015. Examples of items carried include radio control, model railroad, plastic & scale model building, games, toys, Melissa & Doug, scientific and educational games, puzzles, and more. I found the employees to be delightful and well-informed and you could tell by kids in the shop that this is a hands-on establishment. This is in downtown Muncie with solidly available street parking and occasional parking lots. Some of the street parking does have a 2-hour limit, however, unless you park down at the Courtyard by Marriott (about 3-4 blocks away) you should be able to snag free parking. Downtown Muncie is a little hit-and-miss with accessibility - curb cuts are fine, however, some stores do have a step to get in them. This shop, however, is perfectly fine in terms of accessibility and the interior is surprisingly solid. Employees seemed very willing to assist as needed. Toys Forever definitely leans more toward classic toys/games/hobbies, with some exceptions. I've long thought about getting into trains and this story really fueled that desire. I don't live in Muncie, however, I would definitely return upon future visits and really enjoyed discovering this Muncie hidden gem.

This looks like it has something to do with math

Providing someone with the correct tracking number after a large purchase is not rocket science.

But the idea of not accepting returns rubbed me the wrong way since it was described as new/old stock. He could have tested the unit before a return but I feel I was lied to and was never told he would not accept this as a return. So sad never have to go into this store again!!

Ryan worked with me on the engagement ring first, and they completely nailed it. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were incredible, and it turned out even better than I could've imagined. When it came time to design the wedding jacket, Judi was amazing to work with. She made sure it complemented the engagement ring perfectly, taking the time to match every curve and detail so the two pieces looked like they were always meant to go together. You can tell right away that Murray's is a family-owned business that truly cares about their customers. Everyone there is friendly, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable. There's never any pressure, just genuine guidance, pride in their work, and a real passion for making something special. My wife gets compliments on her rings all the time, and we'll definitely be going back to Murray's for anything jewelry-related in the future. If you want people who treat you like family and deliver beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces, this is the place.

Within a minute of entering the store, we were greeted by Brant. He asked if we were looking for anything specific, showed us to the machine we wanted, and checked the warehouse to confirm that they had the exact model and color we wanted. He directed us to the counter to do the paperwork and gave my son a Serta stuffed sheep (which he loved!). Brant thoroughly explained the cost of everything (PS: the prices are very good!) and scheduled delivery for the following day. The delivery men were polite, professional, and respectful of our home. They called when they were on their way, as requested. They removed the old machine, installed the new one, and made sure everything was in working order before they left.
