Retro Exchange has easily become one of my favorite stores, especially when it comes to vintage items. They have a smaller section near the registers dedicated to vintage collectibles, but I’ve been in four times now and it’s always changing. There’s almost always something new that catches my eye.
The same employee has helped me each visit — not sure of his name, but he’s a younger guy with longer hair. What really stands out is how knowledgeable he is. I’m probably twice his age, yet he clearly knows his stuff when it comes to toys from my childhood that I’m actively collecting. He’s great to talk to and genuinely helpful without being pushy.
This place is easily one of the best collectible stores in the west valley of Phoenix, and definitely in my top two. My wife and I have a massive vintage collection that takes up about 500 square feet of our house, so we’re always checking out shops like this. Retro Exchange is absolutely worth a visit for anyone into collecting. While most of the store leans modern, the vintage section is always worth digging through.
Highly recommended for both vintage and modern collectors.

Excellent and very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They have a great selection of Funko Pop, G.I. Joe Comics and Games. Their prices are really reasonable. I am taking my business to these guys from now on.

Cool figs but I don’t recommend going here to try and trade in or sell any of your collectibles, they have Queue which is pretty standard for most places but a 5 hour wait to check out two figures is insane not to mention the lady dropped one of my figures on its head. After about 5 hours of waiting one of the workers told me that there was queue and that it could take up to 72 hours which is also insane considering the store wasn’t very packed. All in all they offered me 180 store credit or 150 cash which is no where near the price of even one of the figures I had brought in. If you’re going for figs great! This is the spot for sure but DO NOT bring your items here to trade or sell you will get a horrible offer after a very long wait

We’ve been to Retro Exchange twice now since they moved to their new location, and it has quickly become one of our favorite spots in the West Valley for vintage toys. There aren’t many places on our side of town that carry this kind of selection (we usually end up in Phoenix), so this shop is a gem. We also visit Tri-Force in Glendale, and Retro Exchange fits right into that level of quality for collectors.
My husband collects Star Wars and GI Joe, and I collect Masters of the Universe — the prices here are very fair, and a lot of the pieces are complete, which is a big deal for collectors. The gentleman with the light-colored long hair and glasses has helped us both times, and he’s fantastic. He’s knowledgeable, friendly, and somehow manages to help everyone even when the store is busy. You don’t always see that level of effort in toy shops, and it definitely stands out.
This is absolutely a 5-star place for collectors, and we’ll be back again very soon.

I had an amazing experience coming to Retro Exchange yesterday with my girlfriend, they made us feel welcomed and appreciated. The manager was very helpful and just an awesome person to talk to about comics movies etc. I’ll definitely be coming back in the future and if you’ve been looking for that community feeling in a Comic/Collectable shop this is the place to go. The crew members were also very respectful and friendly, my girlfriend bought a comic and two custom prints and I turned in some action figures and put couple on hold as well. Just an amazing experience all around.
