They will trip and fall yelping, "I've fallen, and I can't get up!!!" Toys EVERYWHERE. On the floor, ceiling, and surrounding the shop owner to trip on. A nerds dream, and an old person's nightmare. For me, I always find like 1 thing to buy and it's usually a good deal. I picked up some Jurassic Park dinosaurs here. Also, I've sold things here I wasn't using or didn't want. Cool staff

Wow! Prices were very reasonable and on point. The gentleman inside helping us today was very…read morefriendly, helpful, and just great vibe from him and not pushy like other collectible stores. Store has a large variety and amount of items to choose from. Very unorganized, if they were in sections (horror here, wrestling here, dc here, etc) I'd have probably seen more items i wanted and spent more but playing hide and seek was making it a little difficult haha but def would recommend this location.

Clearly at one point it was a record shop (the name gives it away of nothing else), and there's still a case of them in the middle of the room, but it's been subsumed by the mass quantities of toys and memerobilia that are crammed into this small storefront! Got a cartoon, sci fi film or other cult classic that you like? Chances are they have something from it. (I even saw a Danger Mouse figurine...does anyone aside from me remember that show?!) Edge your way through the quagmire of collectibles and take your time looking! The only thing I didn't find that I was seeking? Micro Machines! (Not the Star Wars etc. ones; just the old school mini cars. They did have lots of Hot Wheels though.) This place was pretty crowded on a week-end (read: 5 or 6 customers at once, which given the space was practically overflowing). Worth a stop if you are nearby, or a trip if you are a big collector!

They have a wide variety of items from fine jewelry to the most eclectic goods. From the outside you wouldn't expect it to be as large as it is, but it does span through multiple rooms. Many areas/rooms have themes like holiday, clearance, collectibles, household goods. It is very well organized. Store is pretty strict on "no large bag/backpack" policy but all employees were very friendly and respectful carrying it out. This place is not at all overpriced and you can certainly find some affordable gems without looking too hard.

I'm genuine surprised at how many google reviews complain about their customer arrive and prices. You'd think if they shit on people, and get bad reviews, they would do better. Guess not. Guess they don't want my money. And they don't need yours.

Warhammer is the pinnacle, but there are plenty of other options as well, like D&D! They also have Magic, The Gathering and other popular card games, though I didn't see Pokemon among the display cases. The gaming side is top of the line, with plenty of tables and terrain for hours of battle. I fancy myself more of a painter than a gamer and I was impressed with the options for paint, brushes, and tools they had available. I didn't buy anything on my first visit, but my son and friends felt welcomed and were treated kindly, even as teenagers (typically, this has been a challenge). I'm looking to paint an army of space marines soon, so I'll be in to grab some washes and metallics. This place is nerd nirvana.

There's a table full of heads, accessories etc. to pick through, and I did partake here, but for a more personalized look I ended up hacking several figures from the cases (this is a bit more expensive option as well). The only thing I ultimately couldn't get here was a female head with glasses but found one online. You can also sell your used Lego sets here or buy them. This place was hopping both times I came in, so Lego is definitely still a going concern with kids and adults alike!

But Jason is a pretty friendly guy, will order what you need, that 25% off every day for trades is amazing when I don't see other shops doing that at all !

I arrived around 2:50pm today (24 January) to check out the shop. I was impressed with the reviews,…read moreand I made a detour on my route to check the shop out. I like the store policy to combat scalpers, only allowing one copy to be sold per cover. When I got there, the OPEN sign was lit and the lights were on, but a small sign said "back in 5 minutes" and another sign had been flipped to closed. Tried the handle and the shop was locked. No big deal - I had 5 minutes to spare. I went back to my car. Waited 5 minutes, 10 minutes -- no change in the signage. I watched another potential shopper try the door, still locked, and they waited 5 minutes (now 15 for me). No change - they left. 3:05pm and still no one there during store hours. I saw another potential shopper try again 5 minutes later and still nobody. After 25 minutes of waiting, I gave up and went on my way. To say I'm disappointed in the service level would be an understatement. I'm giving 2 stars because I feel like it could be a good shop, but my experience doesn't reflect that at all. I hope it's a one off failure to keep track of time or maybe an emergency that came up. I'll try again another day, but I definitely won't wait the 5 minutes the sign asks for again - it can't be trusted.

Try getting someone to answer the phone or return an email. Forget it. Try to figure out their website search. Doesn't work. Try to get them to take a pre-order for you. Forget it again. And if you stop in the store in person and they don't know you personally, they treat you like a potential shoplifter or an idiot that knows nothing. Or they just ignore you and refuse to help you or answer questions. It seems you have to be a part of their club. But they WILL take your money. I'm done with Lombard, there are a lot of other places to shop that have the same prices and are a lot more friendly.
