“The peak of game stores. Gotta review this like a Steam game.
Graphics (Atmosphere): Outstanding
Pricing: Almost always on-par with PriceCharting, if not better.
Variety: You would think it would be impossible to fit this much into a store the size of a classroom. They have everything from games, consoles, accessories, cables, batteries, controllers, plushies, hats, toys, board games, figures, candy, stickers, trading cards, and even Hatsune Miku Potato Head.
Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you're in the area, this is a must see store
*thank you john gamezone*”
“Great store very friendly staff, great displays and a dangerous amount of products(gunpla and more). The inventory was better then I was expecting, thank you guys for making my trip out a great one I'll be down again soon.”

“Rachel and Tanya make an incredible team at this Kessler in West Caldwell. Rachel demonstrated immense knowledge in movement patterns and language associated with physical activity. I would highly recommend going there if you are looking for a facility that host a positive mindset and upbeat track to recovery. Thank you so much!”
“I legitimately don't know where to start. I LOVE this store. I grew up in the neighborhood behind it so it has a massive nostalgia factor for me. The Staff has always been great. Bryan is super helpful with the usually very large amount of questions I have. They probably have more Pokemon, One Piece, DBZ, products in stock than most other stores, They also have very hard to find products, including other TCGs, action figures, and comics(which I don't know anything about) . The TCG prices are always just about even with market. Sometimes a little higher, sometimes a little lower. They also have the only rewards program I've seen in any store like it ever, and I've been to and even reviewed quite a few other stores like it. I just wish they had room to host play events!”
“I walked in today to purchase comics Pokemon and the guys WERE VERY NICE AND ATTENTIVE. They let me look around and gave me my space to look for what I was looking for. Both men At the counter were extremely helpful and carried great conversation when I needed support. Super knowledgeable and helpful. I have never walked in to Paradox and had a bad experience. I walk in all the time and spend hundreds of dollars with no issues. Paradox can have my business any day of the week with comics and Pokemon. If you ever need anything please don’t be afraid to ask the staff for help or support. They are all awesome!!!!”
“Was in the store this past Saturday. There was a kid who was a little short on his purchase. The cashier came over and put up the money he needed to be able to purchase a football. He walked out of there super happy. Times like these we need a little kindness. What may seem small to others can be really big to someone else. I dodnt get her name and I should have but just wanted to share her kindness.”
“Johana was very kind to my child . She asked them questions so she knew what book they were looking for, and she gave them very good choices to choose from. My child was completely comfortable around her. This employee is very nice, and welcoming with her customers.”
“Friendly staff, bright, clean, organized. Found exactly what I was looking for, which was the most updated large hardcover version of the dictionary. I want my kids to have access to a true old-style dictionary in addition to looking up words online. My teenage daughter also found a couple novels she wants to read.”
“Amazing, old school store. They have everything under the sun for kids and even gifts for adults, and they have an awesome card section. This place is a timeless gem - nothing could ever compare!”
“Cool local game shop.
Didn't make any purchase but seems like a nice car shop (they sell some video games too).
Seem to host a MTG night as well.
Not sure if they sell at MSRP but, if they do, then it'll stay at 5 stars!”
“I would like to thank the store for the excellent RC car. The model exceeded expectations:
high speed and excellent maneuverability;
the remote control works smoothly and without delays, with a control distance of about 30 meters;
the durable body has withstood several drops without scratches or chips;
the battery holds a charge for quite a long time (approximately 40 minutes of active play).”
“Great place to be and relax with some reading. It is very quiet,clean and organized. I really love how sections are marked for the correct age and categories. My son stayed in the jr. Section for an hr and a half.”

“The store just opened back up about a month ago. Along with all the items we're familiar with, they've also added a bunch of new merchandise. They really have improved the overall flow of the store.”
“So happy I found this website, I was able buy so many things for the upcoming fall Feasts at such a great price, my only complaint I would say is the shipping charges are quite high and they use UPS which I've always had trouble with regarding deliveries so I hope they change shipping carriers. The company is super responsive tho and saved me shipping fees by bundling two orders I had purchased separately, I will be buying all my stuff from them in the future”
“My recent visit to the Lego store at the Garden State Plaza was one of the best store experiences I've had! The Team is super friendly and knowledgeable and love sharing their enthusiasm about Lego with their customer's. They have an awesome selection across all themes in addition to having fun displays to explore! It's always a must go-to fun place to shop when visiting the Garden State Plaza, highly recommend!”
“They brought my early 80’s baby doll back to life! Her head has always been too heavy for her body, so they made her a new body and cleaned her up. We also replaced her brown eyes with new blue eyes to match her mama’s. ??? She is precious, clean, and best of all her head doesn’t roll off. Not cheap at all, but she looks beautiful. Thanks ladies!!!!”
“For decades, this hometown toy store has been a true gem in the community.
What really sets them apart is the knowledge and passion of the staff. They know their inventory inside and out, are always happy to help collectors and families alike, and genuinely care about making sure customers leave happy. You can tell this is more than just a business to them — it’s a place built on trust, relationships, and love for toys across generations.
It’s rare to find a store that combines old-school integrity with such a welcoming atmosphere. Supporting a local business like this is easy when they consistently treat people the right way. Highly recommended for collectors, parents, and anyone who appreciates a shop that still does business the right way.
One of the best things about Tons of Toys is their Needoh deliveries — and they never mark up the prices of them!
If you’re looking for a specific toy, make sure to shop at Tons of Toys!”
“I had an excellent experience purchasing gifts for twin girls, they had everything we were looking for. The staff was very kind and willing to help and they even wrapped our gifts quickly in a beautiful paper. There was a municipal parking just around the corner too which made finding a spot easy even in December!”
“We cannot just walk by Akiba House without stopping in. The merchandise is always changing and you can grab a pack of cards, blindbags or play the machine to get a surprise! Our favorites are MIKU and Deku but there tons more characters anime to choose from.”
“Leslie is a stellar person. We are from Canada. We came here for a trip and our daughter was excited about going to Five Below. Leslie was super awesome and took some time to talk with us and made the five below experience an exceptional one. 10 starts for Leslie. Thank you!”

“I loved going to artbox when I was in Korea so I was really excited to see one in the states now! It's a small shop but they have a nice selection of cute goods and kawaii stationary with nice prices!”
“Place is amazing! Owner is amazing. Super helpful and professional. We were able to order my daughter’s communion dress in December. Saw it in the window when walking by and knew we had to have it. The woman who helped us ordered in two sizes and she was correct. By the time we went back for pick up in February my daughter needed the next size.
Easy process. Great product. Great customer service and fair prices for good quality dresses.
Can’t say enough good things about this place.”
“Owners are nice, they have a lot of products, the new place looks really good and has a lot of space for future tournaments. They have a lot of single cards that you can buy to complete your Pokémon tcg deck.”
“The owner is a family man who lives in town. He gave good service and was personable. Some people gave this business a bad wrap, but I feel like it may be because of the language barrier. We will be returning again!”
“Good selection of science kits for educational purposes. I bought the solar car kit, the gauss rifle, and the make electricity kit for my kids. These kits are easy enough, with a little bit of challenge, and provide a concrete learning experience. A good place to shop for science fair projects. Highly recommended.”
“Hollywood Heros has two things going for it. 1) An amazing, incredible selection of toys, new and vintage. 2) The nicest owners possible. My 12 y.o. son is a huge Star Wars collector, and he discovered HH on Yelp about. year ago. We've gone maybe a dozen times now even though it's an hour round trip. We often find rare and impossible to get items here and if it's not on the shelves, it's probably in their basement, so just ask. We became friendly with Jordan and Val on our trips there, and Jordan has been especially gracious. He always has time to talk, answer questions, and be friendly. Even when we come to just window shop, we still have great talks. Recently my son was looking for an ARC-170 gunship, and Jordan and Val had just gotten one in that had missing parts, and they gave it to my son as a thank you for being a loyal customer. It made my son's month. The store is a block from the central shopping district, so when we go we get bagels or Korean chicken and make a day out of it, or go the few blocks to Trader Joes. I know a Trader Joes isn't a selling point for a store specifically, but as a parent of someone who loves shopping here it's nice to have a cute town that can be part of the experience.”
“I have been dealing with Ralph and Toytastik for years now. Super friendly and knowledgeable. He’s usually able to get me anything I ever want at a reasonable price and he’s very trustworthy. Highly recommended!”
“Had appointment at 1300 got there at 7 am got to the door at 1030 load less than hour friendly people work there can park there at the end of the building besides old trailer at the end of the parking lot right backing up at the door due to the wall in the way but overall good experience will return again”
“Pretty cool place! After asking nicely they were kind enough to let me inspect the used titles I wanted to purchase, all great condition and even carry japanese and asian imports of games. Itemized receipt and good conversation with the staff there. A wonderful first impression!”
