The person at the counter is always super nice and very easy to strike a conversation with. Very patient guy and I never feel like Im bothering him by being there. Anytime Im in the area I always try to stop here- such amazing items for sale and great customer service. Highly recommend
What an awesome, hole in the wall, collectors paradise. If youve driven through the Pacific/Lacey roundabout countless times and saw this little toy store, you should definitely stop and go in.
Super cool little store. They have a lot of hard to find toys. My son always finds something he love s. The prices are reasonable and the owner is very friendly.
AWESOME shop. Something for everyone, good prices, and a rad owner. Will be back frequently.
We love this place. Owner is really cool and knowledgeable and now I have another hunt to look for and I know just the place. ToyBox
Walked in 15 minutes before closing. The owner was super cool and patient. He has comics, video gamess and consoles, movies, toys..the works. A true den of geekness.
Great selection of vintage video games and related memorabilia what their prices are rather High I took my son there when he was visiting from out of town we picked up a couple vintage video games he been looking for but the consoles were out of price range
Local toy and collectables shop with a great selection of loose and packaged items. Fair market value or store credit on trade. Nice selection of vintage video games as well.
This place was amazing! So many awesome old games, figurines, and other cool finds! The guy was super nice and easy going. I asked him about some really old dino-robot toys I had as a kid and he knew exactly what I was talking about! There were old action figures sealed in their boxes for really low prices, I couldnt believe it. I ended up buying two things but definitely plan on going back for more soon!
This store is awesome, and Ryan is one of the coolest, nicest guys around, he is very knowledgeable and has always been very fair with prices both for buying and selling!
This store is a great little gem. I wish I knew about it years ago! Thank you for Invincible #27! Ill be back for 19 soon!
The store has a great variety of toys, collectibles, movies, and video games. Owner is friendly and prices are very fair. A wonderful place to shop.
Loved the nostalgia. Great collection of collectibles.
Great place to buy a lot of cool toys
This place was great! It had a little bit of everything, with very fair prices. I have been in Washington for a vacation and went to a few game/ collectible stores and this was the best one. I would up getting a cool swamp thing figure from my childhood and the cleanest boxed Tetris nes game Ive seen. If Im ever back in Lacey Washington this will be my go to place for retro games and figures.
Owner is great and the prices are more than fair. Hes got something for everyone, from big to small, from cheap to pricey, from simple to intricate.Definitely recommend this place.
It’s always a great experience. Loads of things to look at. Great stuff and different each time. Good prices. Always enjoy going and spending money.
Amazing place! Even if you arent into comics, heroes and the like. This place will cradle you in a tsunami of childhood memories. Ryan is a man that seems to thrive on you reliving your childhood.No matter how many rounds I made around the store, I found something I didnt see before.From vintage videogames to card collections. The Toy Box will help you rediscovery your inner child.
So much stuff packed into this space! From Lego to Matchbox to VHS tapes, from Star Wars to Marvel to Breyer horses; if its collectable chances are good you will find it here.Google maps has a hard time with the directions for getting to the store. Its in a small block of stores, next door is a pawn shop.Mask up!
I have never been to the store in person, but I have made two purchases by messaging through Facebook (payment made via Paypal), and the process was very simple, professional, and the items were shipped the next day. Both the Nintendo 64, and the games purchased after, have all worked great. Would highly recommend purchasing from this business.
Everytime i go in its great customer service the guy that runs it is super awesome
This place is so awesome. Its very nostalgic. The owner is awesome too. Super friendly. His prices are very fair. He never over charges. You can also bring things in to get store credit. If its something you might feel that he wont take, I would suggest to call first. If you buy something and it doesnt seem to work you can always take it back and trade out for something else of the same value or he will take a look at it to see if he can fix it. We go there for video games all the time. We love nostalgic video game systems. We refuse to shop anywhere else for them. He has a lot more stuff than just video games there. I highly recommend this place to everyone. We also take my son in there too. So kids are welcome as long as you keep an eye on them.
Cool find, definitely great deals on some retro games and figures.
More star wars than anything. Its an ok place.
Coolest shop Ive found in YEARS. Great prices too!
I Come here all the time. Owned by a great guy who seems to know a bit about everything! He always seems happy to see you, too. He’s patient with me while I take an hour to look through everything he has for the one thing I need.
Very cool collection of antiques for those of us on the more nerd side of things. They had an original ps1 still in the box like that alone was enough to make the store cool to me its very personal inside and a world of wonder to be true
Love this place! Floor to ceiling nostalgia! The owner is very nice and helpful and was able to answer all my questions. Its a blast from the past, I highly recommend stopping in if you ever get the chance.
Awesome store! Great deals on classic toys!
I always enjoy coming into toy box. The owner has great customer service. They have great products and excellent prices/deals.
This is one of the few remaining shops I have found that give you that nostalgia feel of playing games from back in the day.The prices are fair but the selection is great. I found all my favorite games there.Make sure to check this place out!
Great place, a true trip down memory lane. Owner is cool and chill, knows his stuff, totally respectful. God grant him many years in health and happiness!
Awesome guy there! Great selection of toys and games!
Really shocked at the negative reviews from not too long ago because this has to be the best retro shop in all of WA state. The owner is always very kind, wonderful to chat with, and is extremely knowledgeable of what he has in stock. Ive been going here since 13/14 and not once have I thought differently of the service. Ive recently gotten my boyfriend super into this place and he always enjoys his visits there as well. I will always recommend Toy Box to fellow video game and comic book enthusiasts as it definitely holds a ton of treasures and has the loveliest customer service. Keep up the great work!!
Great prices and good service. And amazing selection of retro stuff and figures.
This guy is Fu#kin Awesome, Knowledgeable, and just a Big Kid inside. Ive had many interactions with him and have always appreciated his respectful lighthearted demeanor, as well as his tenacity. Pretty much Selling Only Toys, aint No road to grand riches, Toys R Us case and point. Meaning you got to truly love what you do.., and play with, cheers.
Great place to shop and get lost in your childhood. The owner is a knowledgable and funny guy. One of our favorite stores in town.
I love old school toys, I have shopped here several times and always leave with a collection of greatness. Small store but well packed with toys and retro video games, the owner is cool and friendly 👍
Tiny shop. A little hard to find. Huge collection for such a tiny shop. Lots of action figures, video games, movies. Shop clerk was a nice guy. Not many parking spaces.
Great place to visit. Always beings back my childhood. Very nice service.
Great shop, and great prices! This store beats the prices and quality of the items and accommodation of any of the video game stores in the circumventing areas. I highly recommend if you are probing for hard to find stuff or for great accommodation to check this place out! Ryan is a straight forward kind of guy who is up front and veracious with you and is more then disposed to avail you ascertain information about a certain product. All around a great person and great store to shop at!!!!
Good guy, always fun to chat with. Good prices and never tries to rip you off. If something doesnt work just bring it back to trade in.
Awesome place, always fun to go talk about video games and pick up cool stuff!
We love going in here! You can always find some good stuff if youre into collecting toys/games/figures
Love going here. Always pleasant and most times find something that take you back to your childhood.
Excellent collection reasonable prices
Great seller. He gives good deals when he can. You must be understanding he has a business to run though. Overall a great store for vintage collectors especially Nintendo fanatics.
Fantastic store! Great small business in Lacey. Shop always has a great selection of items and friendly service. Always a pleasure to visit.
It is a beautiful store full of retro games and game systems, also they have tons of collector toys and legos and pretty awesome comics. I know I am missing some stuff that that have there but its a gamers paradise to be sure and one of few stores around that sell this awesome stuff
I LOVE this place! I take my son there every month or so and its become a very special place for us. Very friendly service and more than fair prices.
Love this place. I was able to find the original Gargoyles (1996) in their packaging. I stop by whenever Im looking for something considered retro.
The owner is knowledgeable about the toys that he buys and sells and is very personable. We enjoyed our visit again. Definitely recommend this place
The fellow running it was extremely friendly. He helped me find a greeeat deal on a Nintendo 64 and a game for it. Also got some throw back games and a Fallout 4 for PS4. They have legos, transformers, books, videos... I mean its really cool.
Owner is friendly and prices are fair. Great spot to find vintage games like GameCube and N64. The shelves are so packed that youll find a new treasure every time
Fantastic selection of Toys, Video Games, and Comics! I will be back! Also, Customer Service was friendly and the gent running the store allowed me 2 free loose figs!!
Great store with so many old (and new) video games, comics, toys, board games! Walking in here is like walking through my memory. So friendly, too!
The two that run this place are super helpful and will let you look at and handle anything that theyre selling. Nice people and a great selection of retro games and comics.
This is one of my favorite little shops in the Lacey/Olympia area. The owner is very friendly and helpful, everything is reasonably priced, and you wont find a better collection of retro toys and games almost anywhere.
Awesome place great customer service
I love coming in here. The owner is really friendly and loves what he does. Never disappointed when I stop in and check out the toys I grew up with.
Very great place for you collector..both in the box and out of the box. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS STORE.
Love toy box collectables anytime we are looking for an old game they always have it.. great place
Awesome selection of vintage toys and the owner is a great guy and incredibly knowledgeable!
I give this place 2 stars because I wanted to go in and check out the store for the first time. So when my friend and I came in the workers were polite when we walked in so I was looking around to see what I can buy and I saw some cards and it said on the sign 10 cards for a dollar so i was looking and it was almost closed but i still had 10 min left so i was searching for some cards as fast as i can before closing and i did and he gave me a totally different price for the cards i picked out. So I told him i saw the sign and i cant buy it right now and he took the cards back where they were and said,You guys need to leave because your wasting my damn time! I was going to come back another time to buy it but now i am not 👎 my friend told me this wasnt the first time he was rude. My friend been there before with his little brother at 4:30 and they close at 5 and he yelled, Were closed! And slam the door in their face
Friendly. Good deals...
Great shop. Great prices. This dude doesnt mess around. Shop is nice and tidy and the owner is a god damn gentleman. Ignore the naysayers, they just have some sand up in their you know where.
Great selection and prices of old school nerd and geek toys.
This hidden gem is tucked away, but full of little treasures. Comics, figures, and a ton of vintage games. Definitely worth browsing
Cant compromise, kicks anyone out if they try to make a deal! Is rude to customer if they take their time. Dont recommended going in unless you are prepared to feel as if he didnt trust you in his store as if youre a thief. However one good thing is he has good games. The cards fell off the poorly constructed shelf and I offered too clean them up but you yelled at me to get out of the store and that you would clean up the dam cards. Nobody threw anything on the floor! Also get to know your customers more and maybe youll get people to buy your collection. Im 19! Take and look in the mirror because your the baby nerd who has to have his store or will end back in his moms basement! Go back to your lady friend your so occupied on her most of the time instead of you own Clients.
Great customer service. Treat everyone with respect. My son has aspergers and the owner the Toy Box has treated him with full respect. The owner never once ignored him or treated him poorly.
Amazing place will absolutely be coming here over and over again for games and anything geeky
I have a question do you guys have beyblade stuff
Love this store, big fan of the hand held video games.
Take a trip back in time! I love this store, you can see hundreds of games, toys, comics, movies, and collectables within such a small storefront. Many collectables to see that will tug on your childhood and sense of nostalgia. You could spend much, much time and still not see it all. You really should go in and just see what they have, you might just be surprised like I was. Theyll buy used collectables too for store credit, and I think that is awesome to do. You could find many of these things on eBay but theres something really nice about seeing the condition of the items in your hand. Prices were very reasonable especially when they have items you may never be able to find anymore. Cant recommend enough.
A place to go to find something rare and interesting or to sell something rare and interesting! The owner is a great guy.
Lots of toys from 80s and 90s. Perfect for the Millennial who wants to buy the toys their parents did not.
Everything you are looking for.
Great place to find nicknacks from your childhood if you grew up in the 80s or 90s.
Coolest store
Great selection and more than fair prices. I wish the shop was closer to Seattle. Id visit all the time.
I love this store and for those who are being negative. It is a business after all. When you try to get something for nothing, and gripe about it, it serves you right to be told to leave. You see in washington state a business owner can choose who he/she does business with. By you attacking him personally just shows the immaturity on your part. What you dont realize is that if it were your business you would do the same thing. I dont believe you would not be cautious of people stealing or damaging your inventory. Or selling you defective products. Get over it and move on. I have done business here and so has my sister and we love this store. You get treated as you treat others. That is with any business. Stop thinking that, to be a business everyone has to put up with damaging, careless customers. Go to business school or have one of your own to learn what it is like. I respect peoples hard work to make a business. Be kind.
The owner is passionate and eager to help the customer. Hella helpful, find new stuff every time I go back.
Good store very nice place.
Great small business, lots of hard to find collectibles, video games, and comics, at good prices
Good mix of toys, video games and some comics too!
Awesome service every time my wife and I go in. Ryan is the raddest dude and will definitely continue to shop here! Highly recommended!
The only place that had the game that I wanted. Might be buying from them again. Seems like they are pretty reliable.
An amazing selection of old and collectible toys, games, action figures, and trading cards from all over! The prices are good, especially if youre looking for collectibles for nostalgia or fun and dont care too much about pristine condition (although they have plenty of things in original boxes and covered in glass cases. There are a lot of things Id not seen anywhere else (2 star trek board games!). Youll need a few hours to get close to fully exploring the store because its layers and layers of potential treasures, and things are kept in every nook and cranny. Action figures and toys were spread on every flat surface and bookcases were jammed with games, books, and guides.The cashier was very friendly and knowledgeable about his stock and could talk about ds games as easily as atari and DVDs. I found a DVD box of space ghost that I was going to buy as a present, the cashier opened it at the register to check that the DVDs were inside and found they were missing. I was disappointed, and had thought that the disks would be held behind the counter as in a few other stores, but the cashier was so sorry and polite (that his stock was gone!) that I couldnt be upset (except at the person that would steal from such a unique store with such friendly people!).They buy in-box and out-of-box collectibles, but be careful because you might end up leaving with more than you came in with!
Guy always treats me right when I come in here. Couldnt find any other kinda person to run a store like this other then a fellow nerd. Me and my girlfriend will continue to give you business over the corporate stores any day
I see their is some haters posting on here. Smh. Ive been shopping here for years so dont believe these guys leaving these reviews his store is great and the best priced ive found in washington state if it wasnt so far from me i wouldnt go anywhere else and i go to a lot of toy shops. He is always helpful and you wont find a more compromising toy dealer in washington so stop the b.s. Ive never once got an attitude from him and ive seen people spend hellah time in that store. Keep doing your thing man - Marvel Guy.
Apparently this oxy moron doesnt know my full name or nickname. Love that you refer to them as accusations though. The funny Part is, this review is for the people, not for you.And i wish a verbal rampage was all you needed. 2 months is what it took to find out just exactly what you were saying behind my back. I know you arent smart enough to figure this out, but some of your customers i know and work with, so if you stopped gossiping like a scorned woman, maybe you would be a nice guy,,, (and thats pushing the ladder)but you and I know, thats not gonna happen. I dont have to try and hurt your business, you are doing that on your own with running at the mouth syndrome
Great selection of vintage toys and collectables. Outstanding service.
Here at least 3 times a week! Great spot!
Very cool place everybody should check this out
Nostalgic store.shop here if your 😎
Great little store, full of classic fun at good prices!
So, I ebay, I ebay a lot. I usually end up spending right around 200 to 300 a week for my business, well as a general niceness I told the owner that he had a comic on his one dollar shelf that was actually worth upwards near 55 dollars, so he took it down. Went in a week later and he bragged that he sold it for 52 dollars. Did the gentleman thank me,....no. Not so much of a mention that I was the one who brought it to his attention. If I was a store owner and a customer I have never seen before was to do that, and then come back in, I would easily offer him some store credit, something for free, or at least a thank you. You lack customer service skills and the professionalism to succeed you ungrateful sod. I had intentions of buying a lot today, guess I go to Olympic Comics and Cards for my business, and try to spread the word about this guy. NO GOOD
Fun, low key place to visit. Collectibles for the serious and budget minded collectors.
