    It is crowded, and tight. So try to go when it is an off time. We went during a holiday event in Ashland, VA. But, the selection for model trains and tracks is great! They had a small selection of accessories. They also had a good selection of train set that you could buy. They also repair trains. It is by far a nice store. Just have patience if it is business.

    Went to Ashland for the meat market and walked around downtown since it was my first time in this cute little area. Came across this toy store and BF wanted to go inside so we did and it was like stepping back in time, in the best childhood recollection way. If you like trains, this is the place for you. There are trains galore, as well as tons of toys and games that you rarely find or see played with today. My 8YO self came out and I grabbed jacks, paddle balls and jumbo punching balloons, you know the ones you got at the circus or fair that make the loud smacking noise as you punch it around . If you ever feel the need to be a kid again or take a trip down memory lane then Tiny Tim's can help with this. One trip will have you feeling like a kid again as soon as you walk in the door.

Little did I know it can be connected with four additional Harry Potter Lego sets to make a grand display. So of course he wanted the complete collection. One of the sets is no longer produced so I searched eBay for that set. While I was searching I had also written down info on the other sets and what they would cost if I purchased them on Lego.com I found a great deal on one of the sets from The Toy Guys. It was listed in new condition. I am fairly pleased with the purchase however there was one small tear of part of the front card box. It doesn't affect the set and will be easy to disguise when I tape a label to the box. Overall I would purchase Legos from this business in the future.

    This business doesn't deserve even the one star that Yelp requires as a minimum…read more My son and I stopped in today because he wanted to check out their Pokémon inventory. While we were browsing, a young man in the store asked the employees behind the counter if they were interested in purchasing some cards from him. They declined. After hearing that, I casually mentioned that my son might be interested if the seller was looking to move them. My son even politely asked if that would be a problem. Instead of responding professionally or courteously, one of the employees immediately stated that if my son and the seller worked out a deal, they would owe the store a 15% commission. The comment came across as rude, unnecessary, and frankly absurd considering the store had already made it clear they had no interest in the transaction themselves. To avoid any issues, we left the store and sat on a nearby bench outside. A couple of minutes later, the owner/manager came outside and rudely questioned my son and the other young man about whether they were conducting business. When they answered honestly, he told us to get off "his property." The problem? We were on a bench alongside the sidewalk. What should have been a simple interaction escalated into an unnecessarily confrontational situation because of the owner's attitude and lack of basic customer service skills. Rather than treating potential customers with respect, he chose hostility, intimidation, and arrogance. Words were exchanged, and while it's doubtful he cares, he permanently lost our business. I fully understand that a business owner has the right to manage activities inside their store and maintain a professional environment. What I do not understand is the sense of entitlement and disrespect shown toward customers, especially when they were no longer on the premises. The entire encounter left the impression that the only thing that mattered was whether the owner was getting a piece of the transaction. The unfortunate reality is that behavior like this drives people away from the hobby and creates a toxic atmosphere that benefits no one. The one positive outcome from the experience was that my son and I met a genuinely nice young man and made a new friend. If you're looking for a card shop that values its customers and understands how to treat people with courtesy and respect, there are much better options in the area (BangerZ Cards, The Card Guys, etc.). We have had far better experiences elsewhere and will gladly take our business to shops that appreciate their customers.

I was impressed with the size of this toy store and excited to see that they carry many of my favorite toy brands like Folkmantis, Calico Critters and Ravensberger puzzles. They had a lot of fun sounding games I hadn't heard of as well. Aside from high quality toys and puzzles Shenanigans also had some really nice seasonal stuff like Advent calendars. My husband and I explored for quite awhile and finally landed on a Jellycat branded stuffed animal for a friend. For such a lovely store I would have expected there to be a little bit more in the way of service. For the fifteen minutes we spent in there the only acknowledgement we received was three words when we checked out - twenty-three seventeen. Maybe the employee was just having a hard day.
