Toy Stores in Metairie, LA

“This is one of the best gaming/hobby store in the Country. It has a community that is supportive of one another and love including new-comers. I have traveled across this country and can give examples of how awesome this place is. I will miss it and those I met here and hope to come back for some games or two in the near future.”

“The employees are always so friendly and the place is always clean and organized. They have the widest variety of book, children's books and activities adults and everything you can think of. The books are easy to find and if you can't the staff will walk you to the book, I love that they don't just direct you in hopes you find it. This is the only place I buy my books from.”

“I am addicted to Lego’s, and when I say addicted I mean I have sold my blood to buy a Lego set before. This said most of the time I have to buy my legos online or at some variety store. For me having the chance to shop at a Lego store is like getting to meet Taylor Swift for others.

As I entered the store I was immediately overwhelmed by the vast amounts of merchandise available at my fingertips. I was greeted by an extremely polite and friendly employee then had to spend ten minutes breathing into a bag so I wouldn’t pass out from over excitement. The amount of unique and large sets sitting on the shelves baffled me. I have only seen most of these sets on a website and here they are for me to hold and drool over. Seeing all these sets in person made me appreciate them even more and want some of the collections I didn’t want before.

Once the overall aesthetic of the store wore off I made my in and started to wish I had more money. On the shelves were sets that had been retired or are extremely hard to get. Now right in front of my eyes here they are ready and begging for me to purchase them. Besides the immense options of sets the store also furnished my eyes to fully built sets to look at and play with. Taking the opportunity to embarrass my daughter this 45 year old man started to play with new museum sets like a 10 year old. After spending 20 minutes imagining the dinosaurs were real and rampaging down town New York I was yanked back to reality and made my way to the back of the shop to investigate what else this heavenly place has to offer. Along the back wall are these round clear plastic containers backlit and filled with loose LEGO pieces available to purchase. Now you can finish the set that had the lost piece and feel a sense of accomplishment. The staff was nice enough to explain to me that the loose pieces could be purchased by one of two different sized box full for a set price. So for a solitary price you can get as many pieces and different amounts you want as long as they fit into one of the boxes.

After spending what felt like hours browsing through all the glorious options I made my way to counter to buy the 10-15 boxes I picked out. The young lady (I believe her name was Shania) greeted me like I was good friend and took the time to scan my selected goodies and assume in getting my LEGO membership number. After putting up with my stupid banter she was still polite enough to assist me with finding a gift for my daughter behind her back. I absolutely love how friendly and helpful the staff is. They have the patience of a saint and the playfulness of a kitten.

All and all this is a marvelous store with an incredible staff and stupendous supply of fun. I had fantastical time and encourage you to visit here some and often. Make sure you buy something if you play with anything.”
