This is a kid and/or adult's dream--regardless of what you're looking for. They have a bit of everything for the kid who wants to play or find some unusual toys for their ever-expanding collection, or an adult who wants to revel in some nostalgia. In addition, the staff are kind, helpful, and knowledgeable about their various products. Finally, if you are looking to sell or trade some items, they are fair and considerate when reviewing your items. Every city needs a "Toy Pit." read more

As an Elder Millennial raising little 90's wannabees, this shop has quickly become a family favorite. Everyone working there is really friendly and helpful. There's always been at least one employee that will geek out with us about our favorite characters. I recently purchased a Coraline doll for my youngest from The Toy Pit, and she was so thrilled. She's carried her everywhere for the last week. Their Barbie collection is pretty impressive. You can also find Labubu and My Little Ponies from the 80's. There's always something new to check out. read more

Amazing store, huge selection, helpful staff. This place was huge! So much to look at, admire, and feel nostalgic. Brought me back to my childhood. Spotted plenty of SEALED toys I had as a child. Items are fairly priced according to their condition. Can't wait to visit with my son when we visit Indianapolis again. read more

We were greeted when we walked in. This place is so nostalgic. Seeing all of the old toys brought back fun memories from my childhood. Make sure to keep your old stuff instead of donating to goodwill. You'd be surprised of the items we found. We definitely picked up a few items. My only recommendation is to make sure the bathroom stays cleaned. read more

If you, your friends, or family are big nerds like me and mine are this is one place in Indianapolis you have to check out. This store is, in my humble opinion, the best place to shop for gifts. I've made a habit of taking my loved ones here "to just look around" a few weeks before their birthday or a holiday and making note of everything they express an interest in to come back for later. It's a habit that hasn't disappointed come time to unwrap presents! Their prices are usually around $5 to $10 dollars above current market price for their more expensive items for the same conditioned piece at online collectible retailers which, when considering the sheer amount of shelf space they maintain and the fact that you are gonna walk out with that toy or collectible in hand with complete knowledge of it's current condition, it's entirely reasonable and supports a local business. You'll want to give yourself at least 2 hours if you want a quick glance at everything and still have time to debate which sudden unexpected find you're gonna take home that same day. Since employees don't wear uniforms, you're kinda left hoping anyone with a lanyard around their neck is at least a nice person to ask help from. But once you find an employee, they're incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and personable. The Toy Pit has earned my highest recommendation. read more

I visited The Toy Pit at their new location on College Avenue. You can't miss it -- just look for the amazing mural painted all over the building, which includes pop culture and comic book icons, and ... MF Doom?! Wow! I love this place! The space is huge, and they have everything from Star Wars to Barbie to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Funko Pop to LEGO. Plus lots of other things I'm forgetting. So many toys and collectibles. It's a collector's paradise. The Toy Pit also has a good selection of vinyl records, which was surprising to me. I found many that I would have loved to add to my collection, if I had a vinyl collection. They also have several pinball machines on one wall that are 25 cents to play. This is a cool place to not only find collectibles, but hang out for a while and play some games. read more

Best place for anyone who loves collecting just about anything! The vinyl selection is absolutely amazing, and it's the first spot I've found locally that carries Space Mollys, Sanrio, and Dimoo. Such a fun and unique shop with great staff. read more

Nicely decorated building, super easy to spot, though if you miss it, look for the Rally's, it's right by that. Inside, there is plenty of space. They could probably add a gaming (of any kind) and/or comics area and they would still have extra room leftover. The toys are a decent mix of some vintage items and a lot of re-releases. And it's a little bit of everything. Funko pops, Star Wars, Wrestling, a bunch of 80s IPs, Barbies, Legos, small selection of old video games, etc. They could probably do with a bit more organization and maybe find one thing to do really well. I believe they're fairly new, so hopefully it's just a matter of still getting the place ready. But there's a lot of potential there. read more

I will admit that considering the side of town where The Toy Pit is located that I may very well have been expecting a different kind of "toy" pit. That was before I saw their dynamic mural, of course, and before I turned my car around and had to check it out. Whoa. The Toy Pit is, well, a toy pit. You're talking vintage and modern toys, action figures, familiar, unfamiliar, comics, vinyl, pop culture t-shirts, the biggest collection of Funko Pops I've seen, LEGO, Marvel, DC Comics, WWE/WWF, Video Games, Music Memorabilia, comic books, and a heck of a lot more. The Toy Pit buys stuff - leaning toward collectibles - and has created an atmosphere that manages to feel both welcoming and like it's a little bit closer to nerd heaven. You've got a row of $.25 pinball machines and quite a bit more. You notice how I keep saying more? That's how it feels here. I didn't see any Paddington (Yes, I'm a 50+ year old dude obsessed with Paddington. Deal with it). I love horror collectibles (and Paddington). The prices are fair, trade-in prices are reasonable for the most part, and employees are friendly and knowledgeable. I didn't have a lot of time when I stopped in, however, once I spied the sign I knew I needed to check it out. My only regret is visiting here the same day as Yelp Elite Nicole S. and not running into her! Seriously, I've been on a nostalgia kick lately and The Toy Pit, an Indiana-based shop now with 13,000 square feet, is an absolute blast with lots to choose from whether you're a hardcore gamer, collector, newbie, or simply curious. I'll definitely be returning when I have more time! read more

Stopped in here today with my husband and son. It's a toy shop that holds vintage pieces. It's quirky and a toy lovers dream. read more

Huge store, helpful staff, wall-to-wall nostalgia. My kid was thrilled to find some rare anime merch.

The new store is a substantial upgrade and seems at least twice as big. The mural on the outside is on another level. Inside, there is so much more on display, it will give you pause. Give yourself at least an hour to browse and visit often as their collection of toys and memorabilia is always changing. For me, looking at the Star Wars and G. I. Joe toys from the 80s was like a stroll down memory lane. They have something for everyone and is absolute must visit. read more

The Toy Pit is a place I have been wanting to see since they moved to their 38th and College location. It was closed the last time (Monday) so I took advantage of having a meeting in the area and visited today. Location is LARGE which allows for many display cases and shelves full of new and used toys, posters, masks, records, video game, dolls and figurines, models, comic books, clothing, board games, cards, etc. etc. there is a bank of pinball machines on the right as you enter. Pretty good collections of so many items you have a good chance of discovering something you are looking for. I will let my pictures tell the story. Check their days and hours before you head out. Enjoy. read more

I'm about to set forth on an adventure to sell my toy collection and random Lego figures. If no one contacts me then I'm sure to sell to Toy Pit. These guys are friendly and knowledgeable. The store is neatly organized with the Funko Pops picked through. Regardless, for 80's, 90's and beyond for toys, this is the spot. I had a great time here and could hear others talk about toy nostalgia like it was yesterday. I'll be back next time I'm in town! read more

I can't believe I now just discovered this place!! I started getting into collectibles this year after going to a few conventions and man I wished I knew this place existed. But all is well and I have a new go to for my new addiction...err I mean hobby, yes hobby. The Toy Pit is located right by I69 and 96th street so it was fairly easy to get to. Once I stepped inside I knew I arrived. This place is kinda big and filled with toys, figures, collectibles, vinyl records, comic books and more. I spent what seemed like a good hour just hunting through all their merchandise. I gotta say it was so much fun doing it as well. They even had 2 WWE Funko Pops I've been looking for (Sasha Banks and AJ Styles), which were at reasonable prices!! They also had so many genres to choose from: Pro-wrestling, Star Wars, Marvel, Anime, video game characters, Simpsons, Star Trek, DC, Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, GI JOE, Transformers, rock stars, heck they even had Buffy The Vampire Slayer figures. I could keep going really. Did I mention they have pin-ball machines? Yep, 4 of them!! I really had a good time toy hunting here! The staff was awesome and it didn't break the bank either. I truly hope you check this place out, even if you're not into collecting you might find some pop culture item you'd like to display somewhere in your home or office. I'll definitely be returning to The Toy Pit!!! read more

Out of all my trips to the area, how have I never been here? Stopped in for the first time today and was floored by the selection. They had toys from all eras as well as a small selection of vinyl. While I left empty-handed, that was just due to looking for some items to round out a collection I'm working on. Definitely saw some items that piqued my interest. Bonus props for the punk & hardcore jams they had playing in the store. read more

I'm such a toy nerd that's why I was shocked that I didn't know about this place. I recently got into collecting childhood toys and I was wishing my little girl heart out that there was a store nearby that I could peruse for hidden childhood gems. I look up food and services on Yelp..why not toy stores? (Ty Yelp, you know why I love you.) The outside of the Toy Pit is very understated. The inside made me stand in awe for a few. It was truly mind boggling to me at how many toys are in this place. Practically floor to ceiling. I saw a lot of favorites like Transformers, Star Wars, TMNT and Thundercats. The Gundam selection is also pretty impressive. Picking through the Funko Pops was fun..there were a lot that I didn't know existed. Like the jumbo Deadpool Squirrelpool we purchased. My handsome flocked dude is watching me type up this review. I'll be returning soon to pick up some Littlest Pet Shop figures to repaint (my other new hobby) and I have my eyes on some of the anime figurines too. 100% recommend the Toy Pit. Even if it's just to browse for that feel good childhood nostalgia. Tip: I found their IG page @thetoypit and they are pretty active. They let you know if store happenings and hour changes. read more

They sold my husband a fake Labubu after he was trying to surprise me, and once this was realized to be fake, they refused to refund us. My husband had asked if it was authentic because they sold some out of box ( people sell their duplicates to them)- and they had said they are authentic as others were confirmed, and some story about how older versions may not have a QR code... well this was the most recent series and obviously fake if you know anything about Labubus. Taking advantage of someone who didn't know better is gross - you sell toys and collectibles at a higher price than they are at Popmart, you should really take the time to know ! Really disappointed they wouldn't refund us 45 bucks knowing that it's fake (and I explained how it's fake ) and I've given this place plenty of business by buying Funko Pops in the past few months... when I called, the manger was too busy to talk and only offered in store credit- which is annoying because just give me my hard earned money back ??? just so tasteless and disappointing :/ I won't be giving them any more business and wanted to warn others who might be trying to get Labubus. read more

Huge store which is good. Not many employees working at the time I went in. Seem to have covid prices for everything. They must not know the collectible prices have gone down on most all action figures. Tons of funko pop at this store which I'm not a fan of. I didn't see an employee smile once while in there. Not willing to offer cash for my trade in only store credit! I'll be hard pressed to return. Especially when there are so many other toy shops in the city. Not even a top 5 store in the state for the same genre. Incredibly overrated. Should've spent more money on good inventory at good prices that all the paint outside on the building. read more

The Toy Pit has a great selection of collectibles and the widest variety in the state. I bought a few transformer collectibles a while back as Christmas presents for my nephews and they offered me a great bundle deal. The Toy Pit definitely works with you on pricing and bundles when possible. I also brought inherited collectibles to sell and received an extremely fair offer for cash and store credit. Highly recommend visiting, even just for fun! Stockton was a pleasure to work with-- thank you! read more

The largest toy store in the Midwest has come to College Ave! If you are looking for something niche, collectible, or just looking for something cool then this is the place. The vibe is chill, not trendy, and the staff are awesome. Everyone is chill and super helpful. You can visit a hundred times and see something new. That's the point, right? They are always buying, selling, and trading. It's a revolving door of whatever you may like. I saw some tiny Dragonball figures I haven't seen since I bought them myself in the 90s! If I didn't have the set already, I would have jumped on it. You'll find yourself saying, "I can't believe they have this!" a lot. I think the prices are fair. Somethings are rightfully expensive, whereas many things are cost-effective. You really can find anything here. The art outside by local artist Kwazar is so well done! When I first saw the Goku go up, before anyone knew what store was coming, I knew it was going to be a welcomed addition to my block. The corner is now a beacon of culture and interest. 38th/College is coming up! read more
