1442 119th St, Whiting“Had a great experience at Mind Benders! We found ourselves in the area while on vacation and had to stop in as we are avid board gamers. Loved the kid friendliness and how willing the owner was to let us try most of the games that he had on hand! Left with a board game each for my husband and I as well as something for our two kiddos. High quality brands of kids games, puzzles and toys. I wish more stores carried a selection like this! Would definitely return if I ever find myself in the area.”
“Everything that I want from a local comic shop. Nice selection of trades and current issues. The subscription for comics are better than fair. Also has a nice pinball machine inside if you want to pinball wizard for a bit. They do have tcg, board games, d&d, and figures.”

1 Courthouse Square Ste 19, Crown Point“This is just such a neat store, I'd much rather buy toys here then anywhere else! Good prices too, so might as well support a local business. I was there today around 4, sales girl was very helpful, friendly and when I thought my stroller might not fit she offered to let me store it.”
“Came up to crow point for a toy show and stumbled onto this place by complete accident!! This is now one of my all time favorite toy stores to visit! They have a lot of everything!!”

2109 Southlake Mall Space 524, Merrillville“Best mall I have ever visited. Cashier Andy wished and invited me respectfully while I entered the store. Everything is in a organised manner and no need to search for products because they are readily available. I have used text to join option and saved 5 dollars while paying my bill. Don't miss to visit this store if you want to surprise your kids and make em happy.”
“1st time there today Jan 21 2024Went to look at graphic novel section, looked shopped hard. Still found a couple goodies. Ollie's is a bargain shoppers haven. Cheaper than your typical big box chains.”
“I didn’t get the employees name, however i need to shout him out. I went over today in hopes of finding a loungefly bag. While they didn’t have the one I was looking for in stock, the employee tried to look up the item for me. He still didn’t find it but was able to show me the rest of the five nights at Freddy’s items. I ended up with some stranger things funkos and had a great conversation with him. Give this guy a raise lol”
