Great store! The selection of toys was HUGE and they were all very reasonably priced :) the store did smell like weed, but it could’ve been something else. Overall, a very pleasant experience! Keep up the good work!

A great place. Brings me back to my childhood. A really great selection of geeky toys. It is a very small shop but you can easily spend hours in there just looking at things. A really nice collection of old vinyl records.

This store is a great place to buy vintage items and much more! I recently have been looking for Star Wars Clone Wars items and I couldn’t find any and when I went to this store I just found everything that I wanted! The owner is a very nice guy and very helpful! The prices on the items are cheaper than vintage items that you can buy on eBay. 100% would recommend this store!

A small shop packed with toys from all eras. The shop has floor to ceiling toys from every collection you can think of. They have selection from he man, she ra, gi Joe, Lego, thundercats and more. If you have a specific toy you are looking for you might find it here. Worth a stop, you might find something you didnt know you needed.

I love wax Pax! They have so much cool stuff there that you cannot even look at in a days time. So if youre a collector or if youre looking for that specific figure or vehicle or whatever more than likely hes got it. Hes got good prices for the most part and he will do deals if you buy a good amount. I highly highly recommend this place since toy stores are no longer around. Even if youre just looking for that birthday present for your niece or nephew son or daughter or whos into collecting its worth it to go!

Great selection, but the owner was telling us about his divorce or whatever break up happened for no reason. Also smelled like weed. Felt very uncomfortable. Wont be coming back.Just an FYI, WaxPax and Quake are the same store..

This place is a toy collectors paradise. Owner is friendly and prices his items quite appropriately. Be careful, you can easily spend an hour in this shop looking through bins and shelves and not even realize it.

The owner is super chill, the place is pretty much what you wished your childhood playroom looked like as a kid. The store is packed from floor to ceiling with toys. Always love taking people here to see the look on their face of pure joy and hearing stories of all the childhood memories tied to these toys/collectibles.Good pricing and open to negotiation. You can sell items there too!

Great shop for vintage toy collectors or anyone looking to go down a nostalgia trip. I bought a few items and the prices were very good. Huge selection of toys ranging from the 70s to present. Friendly staff willing to help you weather its checking out items or if you have any questions. Stop by you wont be disappointed!

The sheer volume of product in the store can be overwhelming at first, but if you have some time to put in a little bit of effort, you will definitely find some real gems here. The selection is constantly changing, so you will want to go back and visit Aaron again and again

This place is awesome. Never leave empty handed. Im a wrestling figure collector and there always seems to be new inventory every time I check the store out. Vintage, newer, mint, loose. Theyve got it all.

I love this vintage toy shop. Always something new and different when I visit. They will buy your old toys and are willing to negotiate when buying or selling. YMMV of course.

Review №27

Cool spot to find a lot of new and preowned toys from then and now. Prices are VERY competitive with eBay and Amazon so dont worry that you might pay too much. You will have to visit more than once because inventory is constantly changing and theres so much to take in.

Great place, seems a little shady at first glance, but the staff were very kind and helpful. Couldnt find the exact Beatles record that I was looking for, but made up for it by getting myself the Jesus Christ Superstar Soundtrack, nice find in my opinion. Look forward to coming again!

Hey I disagree with Abdul khan because its a nice store and his theory sounds like a bad comic book plot. The employee is very helpful and affectionate also intellectual with many things and I also disagree with smell and the dust because none of those are true because the store is really clean and nice. _Abdul Klasra

Mostly a toy store focusing on action figures. Very small selection of records. They should consider altering the store name a little to reflect their focus.

Review №43

Huge amount of different toys from different eras. Went in with my buddy last week and I was asking the owner about random obscure toys and he could actually answer whether he had them or not immediately. (Anyone that has been in the store should know that knowing whats in stock just off memory would be incredibly hard.) I will continue coming here and will send all my collector friends here.

This is a great place to find vintage & modern toys. They have a huge selection on GI Joe, Star Wars, He Man & the Masters of the Universe, WWF/WWE Wrestling figures, Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Hotwheels, Star Trek, Mego, DC Universe, Marvel Universe. All vintage & modern from these lines. The owner is pretty cool & will work with you on pricing & he also buys & does trades. You can get cash or store credit for your trade ins. They always have new inventory coming in, so dont stop in & report that there is nothing, because they get new stuff all the time. I enjoy going to this place, even though it is over an hours drive for me. Its well worth the drive.

Review №48

Its okay but the store abhoringly smells so bad and some of the toys in the shop are dusty,scattered,and not in order from the genres for example a batman action figure is mixed with all the other action figures. The place is also dirty and has bad music. It felt as if I am in a mental asylum when I went there, and its also hard to find the toys your looking for and when you ask the employee to find this particular thing its hard for him or her to interpret where that thing is you want,and I think this is totally absurd and an enigma. But wait the whole store is also dirty including everything in it for example mostly toys,but the thing that bugs me is that Imagining the people picking that crap,which the shop owners consider the crap as toys, imagine those people getting infections,and that is very despondent.

Im not sure what Abdul (the idiot that left the negative review) was smoking before he came in the store...but his rediculous comments could not be any farther from accurate. I have been in a lot of collectible stores from Chicago to the Suburbs, (I am an adult collector and Ebay Seller) and Waxpax (and their sister store Quake Collectibles ) is in my opinion the best example of how a business like this should be run. The stores are clean, they absolutely do not smell (in fact there was a very nice scented candle burning)..., always good music..not that dead uncomfortable silence you get in many other collectible stores......the stores are very well merchandised..everything is visible within arms reach (its amazing..you can get lost in there looking for hours) and the owner (Aaron) will even let you go behind the counter if you need a closer look. The inventory is unbelievable...he has literally everything (Star Wars, Marvel Legends, Masters of the Universe, NECA, McFarlane..and all the others) from the latest new merchandise that you cant even find in the stores..to highly collectible and vintage items from all eras, lines and toy companies. Aaron..the owner is a true knowledgeable collector and a great businessman...he is always courteous...his prices are always fair/ reasonable..he is willing to negotiate when necessary ..he not only sells but also buys items/toys/ vinyl. ..etc....and he has never not made every effort to make a sale..or a purchase. Everytime he gets in new items he immediately posts on Facebook photos...and he even operates at all the major toy shows/ toy con. So going back to Abduls negative comments.(literally rediculous..I mean read them and you can tell this guy is a troll)..this guy does not know what he is talking about (clearly someone that is instigating trouble) I would not only reccomend this business...it is the only place I consistently bring my business back to. Aaron..keep up the good work...you ate doing a great job and I appreciate your business. Regards, James K
