“Lots of Funkos and Toys, great deals on new and back issues, and they always have a sci-fi/comic book movie playing in the back. Awesome place to pick up some collectables.”
“The owner has a great sense of customer service. He was very patient and polite. He listened to our needs, and provide excellent suggestions. At the end we were very happy with our selection of chess set. I think in general the value of the set is reasonable and I loved it. Another part I loved: we had an amazing chat about chess, which added a lot to the shopping experience.”

“What a fun store! I stumbled upon it, and I’m glad I did. They have such a wide selection of items for all ages. I was really impressed with the game selection and the knowledge of the employees. Super kind and helpful too! I will definitely be back to shop for gifts in the future.”
“Best shop in the state of Illinois. Nick, James, Steve, Jon and Caleb are a pleasure to do business with. As long as they're in business I will continue to keep going back. 5 STAR SERVICE. Still stand by this statement. Continue to be the best card shop in the Chicagoland area.”
“Bric-A-Brac Records is fantastic! Here's a poem for how great they are! Looking for a record Stop on in to Bric-A-Brac! Selections so good you'll have a heart attack! Beatles to T-Rex Oh goodness what's next!? Stop on in today!”
“Nice little story with a lot of vintage things to look at. At lot of Funko Pop and action figures. I was able to find something for my 2001 Space Odyssey collection. Recommended. Closed Monday.”
“My nephew Enzo is visiting from California to spend his 14th Birthday in Chicago. We attended the Lego Convention then we went to Woodfield to search for a specific set but couldn’t find it there. The wonderful Manager at Woodfield called the Northbrook location and we were able to order the set my Nephew Enzo was looking for. We arrived at the Lego Store in Northbrook and felt very Welcomed by the staff:Mery, Elizabeth and Cameron made my nephew’s day. From the moment we stepped into the store, the wonderful staff greeted us with smiles and made us feel that we were the only customers in the world. ❤️♥️But the truth is every family and child that walked were treated in such a special way.Thank you Cameron, Mery and Elizabeth for making my nephews Birthday special”
“Smash Toys is everything I wanted as a kid, and appreciated even more as an adult. I've never felt welcomed in comic book stores, toy stores, or video game stores like I do at Smash Toys. As soon as my wife and I walked in, we were greeted with what felt like a sincere welcome. I can't tell you how rare that is nowadays, so I knew we were in for a treat. The store is small, BUT there is a lot to explore. Every visit we each buy something for ourselves or a gift for someone. We usually do a few passes when we visit, which is actually fun because we spot new things with every pass, and it doesn't feel like anyone is breathing down our necks. Not feeling rushed means that we can actually buy things, but it also allows my wife and I to reminisce and share stories about our childhoods. The last thing I'll say is that the owner, Jon (sp?), is passionate and it shows. There's nothing worse than a snob in a comic/game shop, so I was really excited when I first asked a question and it was answered enthusiastically instead of trying to embarrass me. I don't think my experience is unique because I've seen Jon interact with other customers, even during trades, with the same great customer service. Already planning our next visit!”
“I walked in and said I need a stuffed monkey and a great gift for a 10 year old girl- The sales lady had the most perfect softest chimpanzee, and knew exactly what every 10 year old girl wants, I was all wrapped up and out in less than 10 minutes! This is my new go to for every birthday party!”
“I write this review on the 1 year anniversary of the shop's opening. The brothers that run the store set up a welcoming atmosphere for guests, they are just good conversationalists. Over my many trips to The Horror House, I have picked up monster related art, t-shirts, patches, figures and even coffee.And the coffee and all the other stuff, is so so good. They cover all the eras of horror from classic Universal Monsters, to modern horror and they cover all the genres from horror comedies to slashers.Here is my youtube review on this excellent spot youtube.com/live/80iz3Wa…”

“Great rotating selection and friendly owners. I found that though list prices on online retailers may be lower, it's better to shop here because (1) the shipping costs make it more expensive than buying locally and (2) you'll always find a hidden gem! I can't recommend this place enough. I'd give it a 6th star if they started stocking sofubi :^)”
“I ordered a longtime retired Poppy Parker doll and got her for a reasonable price. They’re very helpful with customer service and my doll arrived pretty quickly to Texas.I am definitely going to be doing more doll shopping here in the future.”
“Creator Art Baltazar's personally owned comics shop. He isn't often in, but he does have events where he is present, and he invites other creators for events as well.They have $1 bargain back issue boxes by the front door and several shelves of $5 reduced price trades.”
“My husband and i sort of wandered in (i didn't think it was open since you can't tell from the street) but we got buzzed in and WOW was it worth it, an amazing collection, some of which my husband recognized from his childhood with plenty of toys and models with all sorts of themes. GREAT stock of Horror stuff and a super friendly lady at the counter. We will absolutely be back, this place is a hidden gem and well worth the trip on a rainy Satuday afternoon.”
“My mother and I just stopped in for some early Christmas browsing for my 3 kiddo's. And, truly what a wonderful children's gift shop! We bought so many great thing's that you can't really appreciate unless you see them in person. I will definitely be back, and recommend this store for anyone seeking a perfect children's gift or baby shower present. Bonus points for the free gift wrap done by the wonderful sales staff!”
“My wife and I love this place. My kids, however, do not! Shout-out to Ms. Yarah for being kind and patient with my Autistic son. She is extremely professional and all-around awesome. ❤️”
“Great place. Very nice and knowledgeable owner. Great selection for any interest! Prices are reasonable for reality as it is now. Tidy, bright, convinient location. Big parking lot.”

“The most wonderful toy store!!!! I didn't know such a store existed! You will find toys/games etc that will NOT be found in any major retail Store! Great prices and super nice stats ready to help when needed! I have 4 grandkids (ages range from 4 to 10) and as long they are kids I will never shop for toys anywhere else! A jewel of a find in Oak Park, Illinois!”

“this is a fun nice store to go into. sometimes if I want a big bag of candy I'll go in here. I know this store probably is targeted towards teenage people and maybe young adult people. but you know sometimes I do come in here and just walk around and look at stuff. and that's cool. you know it just is nice to walk around a nice store. see what they have in here and everything is $5 or less. and I think one time I bought these little 5 lb hand weights in here and each hand weight was $5 for the 5 lb hand weight. I still have those hand weights in there pretty nice to have. and then a few other times I've bought these little LED strip lights to wrap around my tv. and I think I bought other small things like a big giant bag of bite size candy bars and I'm sure I bought other things in here. you know that huge bag of m&Ms or that big bag of gummy bears and then you eat the whole bag in 3 days. but it's just a good little store to go to when you can't think of anything else to do.”

“Excellent selection of toys for babies to older kids. Some educational products as well. Huge selection of Calico Critters! Great selection of stuffies! Friendly, knowledgeable staff ready to assist you in getting the right items for your kiddos or for party gifts!”
“The salesperson here was amazing! Super knowledgeable, helpful, not pushy in any way. Within 10 minutes she helped us figure out what we were looking for and informed us of how to get a $100 voucher too. Great place to look for strollers, car seats, some cribs, toys, and accessories. FYI they do NOT have baby carriers”
“great place to buy toys reminds me of old kb toys from back in the 90's and 2000's i bought a plush bulldog and a plush basset hound and some 1/24th scale diecasts from b zone toys”
“This is such an adorable shop with the cutest clothes, accessories, and toys for your 0-12 year old. They also have some amazing sales so be sure to follow them on social media. Also - it’s a no brainer if you need a gift for a child! I wish they carried some of their cute clothes in MY size…they are so trendy!!!! ❤️”

“The best toy store on the North Shore! I love the large variety of toys to choose from. It makes birthday shopping so easy! Plus the throw back toys they stock take me back to being a kid myself! Such a fun and special shop! The best!?”
“They have a great selection of clothing, but most of it is on the pricier side. Good for special occasions! I love that they carry the Molo brand--my kid used to love wearing Molo until she started getting pickier about what she wore. The great thing about Sugarcup is that they also have a basement full of discounted and gently used clothing, which is great when you don't feel like spending full retail pricing.”
“Sad that all the game stops are slowly disappearing. We stop by here to trade in games, shop for things we don't need, and pick up new games (like Zelda tears of the kingdom and Diablo 4). We also found out recently that they do "happy returns" so I was able to do multiple things during my stop. Even though Diablo 4 and Zelda were popular games, they still had it in stock. Service is always good and the workers are genuinely always trying to help. The only problem we faced is when there's a shortage of workers and slow processes due to technology constraints. For example, lines get long if some customers want to trade in a lot of games.”
“Every year when I come to Winnetka, I always make it a point to shop Beat Street at least once. The owner and other staff have been super helpful when I needed it and just let me wander until I made up my mind other times. The selection is awesome! I always find multiple things I MUST have.”
“Damian and the staff were extremely kind in explaining everything! I stuck around for their tournament and it was a great experience. Highly recommend! They had Pokémon & Yugioh.”
“I love this place! The accessories for mini-figures were especially great, high quality products at really good prices. Steve the owner was very passionate and excited to share everything the store had to offer as well as their custom services. Ideal for a LEGO hobbyist who doesn't want to stress about breaking the bank while upgrading their collection.”

“I was a kid in a toy store. There's a little bit of everything in here, I could spend hours exploring it all. Some prices are great, some prices are so so, but none of the prices are terrible. Some staff is friendly and outgoing, some staff a bit more taciturn.”
