Groovy Little Toy Store

trip report - Amherst sensory overload edition.

Groovy Little Toy Store - Be site to stop and safe hi to Alex the owner.

while you are there be prepared to dig and look. this place is chocked full of toy, Video games, Funko pops and so much more. I think this is a record for photos taken at one place. they are located at Jamie’s Flea Market in a separate building to the left hand side.

Once I entered this store I was mesmerized. Where did I want to start? Video games? Vintage Star Wars? Gaming? New Action figures? there was such a variety!! My wife went straight to the vintage Barbies. My younger kids went to the Lego sets and my oldest is into all that horror stuff. I was impressed with the owners knowledge and friendliness. I'm glad we got to stop in finally. Even bought some items and got a good deal!!! since I know that place has been there for years they obviously have a great customer base and I will now be part of them. I know I will be back !!!

My son and I visited the store this year after comicon and were glad we did. The prices yes are collectible prices but they are reasonable and expected. My only complaint is the size of the store vs the amount of awesome items they have, but I can live with that. I have read the negative reviews and don't understand where they are coming from. Granted we just visited the store this year so mayne those issues were in the past. They are not issues now. We will be returning as soon as we can.

the guy with the glasses was NOT the owner!! he recently got fired!! the owner has great leniency with prices. has good sales around the holidays, takes good care of his store.

Awesome store and worth the trip found a few items I've been looking for. The owner is a super friendly person. what a pleasant experience

Great toy store. Saw some great vintage items. They were having a sale when I went, and I felt I got some awesome deals for what I was looking for

This store has a variety of games and toys, and the prices are good for the many things they have, this is a place you should visit if your a collector or just for fun!!

This place is incredible. It brings my childhood rushing back. You need to visit soon! Ask for the owner, Alex. He's a wealth of nostalgic information.

Very neat store. I was able to find some really unique collectibles and the staff took more than enough time to answer all my questions.

This place has an AMAZING selection for everything! I was able to find all kinds of action figures I couldn’t find anywhere else!

Cool store, good prices

Good

I was encouraged to bring my toys here to sell or trade per two conversations I had with two different employees. When I brought my items in I felt I had realistic expectations (like getting 30-40 percent of whatever the store will sell the item for). I was offered 4 dollars for my items. All of them. I calculated what the store was selling them for and it was 160 dollars. I could see the store giving me 50 in credit for items they are going to sell for 160, but 4 dollars? I was kind of insulted.

Update 2019: I revisited the store and had a better experience. I didn't attempt to sell anything, but the owner/operator was nice and I bought a few decently priced items.

The workers are mostly nice and they have a good variety but sadly some of the items feel a bit expensive.

I love this place! My son does too.
