“Not your typical toy store! This is where my son asks to spend all his allowance. The owner has the best suggestions and is the nicest small business owner you’ll meet. Love seeing him juggle at all the holiday parades too.”
“Ordered something from them in December. There was trouble on UPS's end, but Fair Game was incredibly helpful (FWIW I also got a great price on what I bought )”
“A big shout out to Bill from Lombard Hobbies. He converted my DC Atlas Trainman® Plus NRE Genset II Locomotive to DCC. Awesome shop with awesome people. Thank you once again Bill for your help.”
“In a world where bookstores have all but disappeared due to the digital age and competition, it is nice to see Barnes and Noble is still thriving. This location is a nice entrance into Oakbrook Mall. This location has 2 stories with a Starbucks located on the second level.”

“Nice store for all kinds of kids stuff in Lombard. Lots of Dr. Who and marvel figures and toys. Prices were decent.Not many customers even on a weekend.Staff were helpful to look and suggest items.”
“Beautiful assortment of gift items (even if you yourself are the gift recipient). Everything is nicely arranged and fun to look at. Staff is very friendly and helpful. A joy to visit!”
“Another Downers business that has changed its name since I was last in. it used to be called My Favorite Toy Store. Now, some of us might hate to admit it, but there is a little of Peter Pan in all of us. Don't be embarrassed, you will feel right at home in this store. There is a great selection of toys for all ages, actually for the ageless. Why didn't they have toys like this when I was that age? They have things to shake, ride, chew, watch, read, grow, manipulate, make, and wish you had thought of so you could be sunning on some beach somewhere instead of living the everyday grind. And.................. free gift wrap and a reward program. Did I mention that they welcome you to stay and play (oops, I meant shop) until closing time?”
“Come here not so frequently but always left with a good experience. Employees are very kind and helpful. Boss man is always kind and polite and fully of positive energy. I bring my items to trade to this location really frequently compared to other locations trade value they’re my best option. Only thing I can say is do inspect your figures whether you’re buying or trading. I’ve had a couple issues but they’re quick to fix the problem with the figure or make up for it if there’s no replacement pieces. Aside from that my favorite store. 10/10”
“Came here to check out some baby clothes for my sisters upcoming baby shower. This place is beautiful and stays in trend with the seasons. Colors here are neutral, toys here are beautiful, interactive and just a great source of ideas. Staff here was friendly. It's stocked small for a much more fluid, seamless shopping experience.”
“Love this store! Such a great selection of toys- fun, STEM toys, but also has fun toys to just play with. They also have a large variety of Squishmallows and rotate seasonal ones and feature different cartoon characters. This is my go to for kids' birthday gifts. A huge bonus is the free gift wrapping- they do a wonderful job, too! We have been to both the Countryside location (much larger) and Clarendon Hills (we tend to go to this one more since welive closer to here).”

“This was one of the best experiences I had purchasing something online. The product was just as described and it shipped quickly. The best part was seeing my daughter’s face when she saw her Frozen Jeep restored to its original glory, she actually thought it was a brand new one, The decals were perfect!”

“Thank you! I’ve had a stuffed animal for almost 40 years. The only treasure I keep from my childhood. He definitely needed some repair and re-stuffing. I took him somewhere in Chicago and did NOT like the results (way over stuffed and shotty nose repair). Angel repaired and re-stuffed him in a way that he’s plushy and cuddly again. Invoicing was transparent and negotiable, and turn around time was way faster than expected! Highly recommend.”
“Our first time here, Stopped in to get a small stuffie for a small child. There were several pleasant knowledgeable salespeople working. They offered a complimentary gift wrap!”
“INCREDIBLE for my 31st BDay!! Not only did my friends and I feel absolutely welcomed and well taken care of, but it was also a very unique and joy filled memorable experience. Chelsea and both managers were the GREATEST of ALL TIME!!! ? Thank you so much!!”
“Great place to get good deals on items you need for your model train layout. Locomotives, rolling stock, buildings, scenic materials, etc. Save a dollar and skip the line by buying your admission online. Parking is free. Get there early for best selections.”
“I forget the name of the woman who cut my son's hair but she was an angel. My son is 2 years old and has sensory problems so getting a haircut really isn't his favorite thing. I was full of anxiety walking in not knowing what was going to happen but she was so calm and helpful. She let him hold a few cars, talked him through it, and explained all the sounds and vibrations. My son didn't scream or cry not once. Thank you so much!!”

“This location is really nice, organized, and clean. I sold some items as well and feel they offered fair prices for the items we brought in. Also appreciate that they only took about 15 minutes to let me know what they were able to offer for the items I brought in. Will be back!”
“This is a good store to go to if you’re shopping for calendars. Make sure you go when they are heavily discounted. I went today and it was 75% off. We were able to get two calendars for $6.73. Besides calendars, they also have puzzles, board games, etc. I recommend checking them out. Just a FYI, they do open later than some of the other stores. On Sundays, they opened at noon. Service was good. It’s located close to the kiddie haircut place.”
“Friendly staff and a great selection of games. If you're looking for something to do with friends or family on a night in, Anderson's Toyshop has something for everyone.”
“Place is pretty cool. Go here on long bike rides with friends. We play the tabletop soccer game they have up front. I am something of a pro. Cool place. They have board games in the back. Yeah.”
“Came here to exchange a gift from a friend. I like that they have a lot of natural fiber clothes since at some other stores like target I can only find 2 items out of the entire store that are 100% natural fiber! Not sure what happened but my friend said they packed the wrong size of ruffle butt when they got the outfit. I went to exchange but they no longer had the size we needed. Still, the store associate was very helpful and helped us pick out another outfit that fit the same vibe.”
“I brought my son to get his ears pierced as a birthday present and the entire experience has been PHENOMENAL! Store Manager Lin was very informative and attentive, answering all of our questions regarding the piercing procedure and aftercare. Cassandra did the actual piercing, and she is an absolute gem with the younger crowd! She took the time to do a breathing exercise with my son to calm his nerves a bit, then he said afterwards that she was very gentle-handed and that the piercing didn't even hurt! Great experience overall, if you ever bring a young one to this store for a piercing, make sure to ask for Cassandra! 5/5 stars, would recommend!”

“I almost canceled my order because of some of these scary reviews. I'm not sure where they are coming from, but I received my item (Popular Play Things Mix or match vehicles) on time and as described. I called and spoke with a customer service representative and they are a small legitimate business. With all the scams out there, this is not one of them.”
“Even though theres ton of construction around I would still goto this GameStop. Just based off the customer service I received from the Sales Associate that was present at the time I know this is a good one.”
“Easily the best and only place to go for action figures of any variety, very favorable prices. Not to mention the owners are best. Highly recommended, which is truly understated.”
