After experiencing a problem with a derailleur that I could not resolve on my own I decided to call…read moreAdam Miller's Toys and Bikes to see if they could repair it. When I called I fully expected to be told that they were busy and to bring it in a week or so like I heard when I called some bike shops in Amherst. I was surprised to hear the words "bring it right in and we'll look at it in a few days." I took the short ride to Batavia to drop the bike off and when I entered the shop they seemed to know I was coming and what the problem was. When I rolled the bike in I was stunned when I was asked if I had time to hang out in Batavia as they might be able to look at it and make the repair immediately and save me a trip back to pick it up. Of course I agreed to stay in the neighborhood and when I returned to the store 45 minutes later the bike was repaired beyond my satisfaction and the price of the repair was extremely reasonable. It's official I have found my new bike repair shop thanks to the great service I received today.

My friend got a new bicycle and in assembly he noticed the wheels had a slight misalignment of the…read morespokes of the wheels. I was bored, so we took a trip to one of the neatest little bicycle toy stores I think I've ever been to with new and used bicycles with time honored toys, that he knew. Fairly easy, free parking in a popular car lot across the street. Model cars and chess sets. Wagons, slot cars and Lionel train sets. Black Bart, red ryder BB guns, play-dough fun factories and all kinds of board games. It's fun just browsing around. (quite the authority on comic books too) On the bicycle end of things, they have the bits and parts that most any cyclist could need. Bicycles of all shapes and sizes. Tires hanging from the ceiling, in a classic bike shop atmosphere. Repaired and adjusted bikes crowed around the side door. The adjustment only took a few minutes as my friend and Mike commiserated while fine tuning the wheels. (he really knew what he was doing) February being a slow month in the shop, still had its share of adjusted and repaired ready to go. A good time to get in for a tune-up. Fast personalized service.

I'm reviewing this store after visiting during the grand opening. I wholly expect some things to…read morechange (such as having more used sets available), but had a great visit overall. They also note future possibilities on the website. This is an "aftermarket Lego retailer" (not an authorized Lego Store) as noted on their website. This means that even the well-priced pick-your-own used Lego bin was virtually all Lego brand.  There was a mix of already built sets to gawk at, as well as plenty of new but often already retired sets to buy on site. I saw a couple used sets and expect to see more in the future. There was an additional make-your-own minifigure bin. I didn't find the price that appealing, but many other people seemed to and there was a good amount to choose from. As for pricing of sets overall, it's likely as you would expect. Lego sets tend to go up in value as they are retired and become scarce. The main difference here is that you'll get a set for around market price, but not have to pay an additional shipping fee from an online marketplace. Plus, the security and joy of seeing the box in person, seeing the face of the person you bought it from, and putting that box under your arm the same day adds so much to the experience. I'm excited to see what the future brings for this store. On another note, I'm told they also buy used Legos directly from people. It seems to be a physical manifestation of the EmpireBricksNY storefronts on Brick Owl and BrickLink.
