“Great shop... tons of merchandise and the staff were super friendly and helpful. They have a huge selection of in stock products for HO, N and O scale. Also, the prices are very competitive and there was also a selection of some used models too for a great price. Definitely worth stopping in...!!!”

“Located inside of Crabtree Valley Mall (1st floor) in Raleigh, NC, this store is a must-visit for any fan of Lego. Offering a good selection of Lego sets from various themes (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lego City, etc.) including adult-targeted sets (the black box ones.) You can build a custom minifig (3 for $10), and buy minifig blind boxes. Some minifig keychains, too.”
“Love this store. They have some for every child. And I know there’s more to explore. Plus free gift wrapping! Love going here for birthday presents and even just to get ideas for my kids. Such a fantastic store!”
“Great store. It’s located in the old Disney store. It is really the only option of toy store in town compared to the big box target or walmart. Great selection of toys and it’s stocked. Has plenty of plush toys, arts and crafts toys and kites. My nephew and niece loved the store will come again with them in the future when they visit.”
“Best place to go for comics in the Raleigh area! The owner, Dan, is SOOO incredibly well-versed in all genres and titles. You lose time talking with him and reminiscing about certain runs or artists work on certain titles, and the directions that the characters took in their evolution. Every time I step in this place you lose track of time talking and going through new and old stock. I definitely recommend going here if you have been into comics forever or you have a brand new reader wanting to get into the hobby.And everything is so clean and organized too!!!!!”
“Cozy and very, nice and helpful staff ✨I had a huge stack of books they held for me at the front and without me asking they already were looking to see if there was a special edition set in the back so I wouldn't have to purchase them all individually 5/5”
“First of all I want to say that this is a wonderful family-owned business, and they are very helpful, polite and accommodating. But I got to witness first hand today some of the things that they put up with. While an employee was trying to explain to a woman that the buying hours were over for the day and they were swamped, the woman got nasty and complained that she had come last week and had wasted her time (all of their directions are on their website, social media, phone, and a board outside so really no excuse to why you can't understand). And the employee tried to explain that her mother had a stroke so they were short staffed and with the holiday they will be closed. And told her when they going to purchase items again. And that was not good enough for this customer and she said some rude things that were uncalled for, and was just down right mean. I feel for these employees and business owners having to navigate this new world full of meanness and lack of understanding.”

“I think this is a super cute locally owned bookstore. Tucked away in North Hills it's perfect if you are looking to buy a gift and not go to one of the bigger super stores. I also love that if you are signed up for their loyalty program they do free gift wrapping. Literally the perfect spot if you are trying to grab something and are quickly running out of time to wrap it. The selection has a little something for every kid- toys, games, puzzles, kits, stuffed animals, you name it!!”
“This is my daughter’s favorite toy store and I love that they offer complimentary gift wrapping. They also offer a lot of different toys than you will find at the big box stores. The staff is always very friendly and willing to help. I went yesterday and witnessed an act of kindness by an employee and felt prompted to share. Kayla was working at the register when two young girls did not have the total amount to purchase their order. They were using a gift card. They were like $1 short but I overheard and saw Kayla putting in her own money so they could complete their purchase. I just thought it was the sweetest thing! We will keep coming back to Learning Express for toys and the shopping experience.”
“This place was just so fun filled amazing play friendly and really enjoyed it. Also, you are constantly seeing marbles workers throughout making sure they stay cleaned and disinfected and sanitized and they always ask how you are doing and if you need anything! Keep up the great work!”
“Great place. The female employee that had glasses was super helpful. She was able to answer all my questions and when she didn't know the answer, she looked them up for me”
“This store is going to break me, lol. Every time I go in, I take my list, but then upon arrival, I find all of these additional bargains, great values on name brands. Tough to beat their products, or their service. Every employee that I have met here has been friendly, smiling, and appear to be happy to see their Customers. Unlike some of the big box stores, the employees will speak when they see you in the aisles, and offer to help. They are always staffed appropriately, to maybe a little lean, however I have never been ignored in this store, while employees are talking to each other.”
“This Fye store is pretty good. They have some pretty cool merch like posters, candy Funko. I wished they had more cool merch because it feels like there's not enough action figures, or movies; they only got a few(nothing against Fye). The employees there are nice and helpful. I love the merch there for real, but maybe add more merch to make the place a masterpiece.Let's be realistic, because in my opinion they might not have space to add extra merch in the store, and because of their budget I think. Overall pretty good store, and nothing wrong with it in my opinion, and I would love to come back to look at new stuff. You guys did a pretty great job. :)”
“It's always nice to come to this Build-A-Bear given there isn't another closer sadly. I'm happy they've made it through the pandemic and are still thriving to this day. There's less staff so it's a little slow at times, but that's not a fault of the staff more so the company. The store is often clean and organized and the early mornings they do for people who get overwhelmed with a lot of noise is so amazing for people who want a quiet calm experience. There's still magic there even as an adult and despite all of that they treat you with respect, no matter how old!I would happily drive hours away just to come back to this one store in the mall any day.”
