"Control, control, you must have control." I am reminded of this classic Yoda teaching every time I…read morewalk into Dallas Vintage Toys, which definitely lives up to its reputation as one of the best vintage toy outlets in the country. The first time I went there, it was admittedly a bit overwhelming as it took me an hour or so just to get a grasp on the lay of the land. DVT really shines with vintage Star Wars and GI Joe '70s and '80s figures, vehicles, and playsets - both loose, on card and in box. It's just as much of an art gallery as it is a retail business. DTV has a dedicated room of officially graded toys if you're looking very top of the line, several thousand dollars in value. And it also has loose complete Star Wars figures you can buy for $24.99, depending on the character. I really enjoy re-releases of my favorite toys growing up, and often prefer commemorative editions so I can enjoy the nostalgia without the heavy financial investment, and DVT has good finds of later releases. There's so much variety. If you don't prefer figures, you might score an item like the Yoda puppet from Empire Strikes Back or other merchandise you don't see all the time. While DVT makes its high-value offerings visible, you might very well dig up some treasure in the aisles as you browse. This past weekend, I came across the Hot Toys Jack Nicholson '89 Joker 1/6 scale figure - an undeniable Grail. It was just hanging out in the Batman section on the shelf with the rest. I forced myself not to look in the box and walk away as I've never seen it in person - I knew I would fall in love. It's $500 I don't have to explain to my wife! While I have purchased a few things from DTV, I am not familiar with the experience of selling a collection there. In the late 90s/early 2000s, I sold many of my old figures to a similar establishment and really regret it. What I will say is that Shaun and his staff are readily available for advice and to bounce ideas off of, and so, if you want to sell, it's definitely worth consulting with them. Just know you very well could get a third of what you perceive your collection to be worth - and that's anywhere. These businesses need to eat and pay bills just like the rest of us! If you haven't been to this nostalgia museum, take some time to relax, know your spending limits before walking in, and enjoy. May the Force Be With You!

I love DVT. LOVE. IT. I am a child of the 80s and I worked at a Kay Bee Toys in the 90s so this…read moreplace is a little slice of heaven for me. They have an excellent array of new toy collectibles, vintage toys, parts, grab bags, MOC, video games, reissues, comics, lunchboxes, etc... etc... One thing that really pleases me about this place is that since I started going there a few years ago, they've expanded their girl-centric vintage toys. I've purchased many pink box Barbies from them for my collection. I feel like their prices are fair when you compare costs to the same items on eBay which is kind of exploitative to sellers anyway. I haven't sold anything to DVT yet, but I feel like I could trust that they would be fair. I think it's important to understand what DVT specializes in and not walk in expecting to sell them just anything and get a pretty penny for it. They do a great job of organizing and displaying everything as well and they keep their social media updated daily with new merchandise. They also have celebrity meet and greets too which is fun and they also have the occasional sidewalk sale (so sad I missed the last one). I really can't understand why anyone would rate DVT low. It's an amazing place.

The owner of this store sold my wife a new Tonies box that was just released. The owner blatantly lied, saying that she was the only store that carries the newer boxes. She had my wife believing that she couldn't buy them anywhere else. I saw the same ones at Target that same day. I don't know why a business owner would intentionally deceive customers, especially about something that was easily proven wrong. We try to support small businesses as much as we can, and this kind of dishonesty hurts, and is what I'd expect from a big box toy store. Suffice it to say we won't be shopping there again.

Although it does not carry what I'm specifically interested in, if you like to play board games in a relaxed social atmosphere and pick up more modern-day collectibles, this might be the place for you. Madness has a wide variety of collector card sets, board games, and also modern action figure lines, with Star Wars and G.I. Joe as large focal points. Madness does carry some vintage Star Wars figures from the '70s/'80s but it really shines with the franchise toy lines that have come after that heyday, with deep inventory in the sequel trilogy figures, Power of the Force, post-prequel movie and streaming show figures, and the Retro Collection. This is also the place if you love the Pop! Funko figures (which I do not in the least) as Madness has definitely gone all in on the craze. I found the staff to be helpful with my questions during my visit and they gave me space to think about some items I was mulling over. Although I probably won't be a frequent visitor, I appreciate the unique offerings Madness brings, especially in creating community.

They also had a whole wall of clearance (2 for $20), so I ended up with two more big plushies aaand some stickers LOL. The two staff members were really friendly and nice; they also seemed like fans of the brand. They helpfully gave us an additional bag for my leftovers from the food court because I was having trouble trying to juggle all my new plush friends and my meal/drink. Oh first world problems.

Especially for booster packs of Lorcana- even Target is cheaper. Stuff like deck boxes have fair pricing, but playmats you might as well get on Amazon for a third of the cost for the same mat. Only one of the staff members seemed friendly. A taller, older looking dude. Seemed kind. And was helpful. The rest hovered in the back being unapproachable. One even passed me by as I stood at the counter. The back of the shop has an area where they obviously have events, but there's no visible calendar of events in the main shop.

James Pressman, Jack's youngest son is the CEO and the company remains a dominant player in the cutthroat toy market today. The company has successfully licensed well-known film and television properties over the years in order to create and market top-grossing games and other toys, including Disney's Snow White in the 1930s, The Mickey Mouse Club in the 1950s, the popular television game shows Wheel of Fortune in the 1980s and Who Wants to be A Millionaire? at the end of the 1990s, and more recently Spiderman, the successful movie based on the comic book hero. I encountered Pressman Toys when I ordered their popular game Rummikub from Amazon. It's a tile-based game for 2 to 4 players which combines the elements of rummy and mahjong. There are 106 tiles in the game and each player starts off with 14 on their rack. The object is to play the tiles on your rack in sets or runs with the object of using all your tiles. It's fun, it's challenging, and I usually beat my mom when we play. You should absolutely pick up a game for your next family game night!. [Review 18951 overall - 446 in Texas - 2475 of 2022.]
