“I almost never write reviews but Anthony was one of the kindest, patient and wonderful employees I've had the pleasure of having attend me. Thank you Anthony for an amazing evening!”
“When it comes to Funko in Toronto, Jerry's Toys should be on your must-visit list. He has Funko from every series, old-new-signed and hard-to-find, stacked floor-to-ceiling. The best part is, Jerry's interest in his customers means he works to ensure you get the best deal possible for what you're after.
Go see for yourself...you'll recommend him too.”
“my very first time getting a blind box. The girl working there was very patient and showed me and explained to me everything. I did get my first crybaby at the end :)”
“Fantastic selection, well organized, with special attention given to staff selections and Canadian made games. I received great recommendations from a knowledgeable and passionate game player. Xplor had lovely vibes all around.”
“A wonderfully curated selection of culturally rich and engaging toys, LEGO sets, books, costumes, the works! No doubt a favourite among parents. It would be exciting to see scheduled programs like storytimes or readings in the future, echoing the communal spirit of a library. But even as it stands, this is already a standout shop with so much to offer.”
“Helpful staff! Was on my way, empty handed, to my nephew’s first birthday and stopped by last minute; staff was great at pointing me in the right direction for toys in his age range and even wrapped it nicely for me so I was all set! Great range of toys too! I think the holidays are taking their toll on everyone but staff did their best and I appreciate it :3
Reminds me of Scooter Girl in Roncy, very fun!”
“It's fine. Staff are friendly. But the website doesn't update stock properly sometimes so double-check with the store what you've bought. I ordered a deluxe version of a pack and got the regular one (at the regular price at least).”
“A beautiful, full-of-character bookstore that I’ve loved since I moved into the neighbourhood and got the fifth Harry Potter book on release night. My nephew has been a THRILLED recipient of the book-a-month gift (iykyk - if you don’t know … ask). They are a beating heart of Mount Pleasant! They also have a sweet selection of books for adult readers to be tempted while tiny readers browse & pet Mabel. These people know books and know midtown, protect them at all costs!!!”
“Place is definitely as crowded as the photos show, but staff are super welcoming. I've ordered from them online but went to Toronto for a vacation and had to check out the physical location and picked up a figure while I was there. If I'm ever back in Toronto, I'd definitely do it all over again! Thanks!”
“great selection of lego at this store, i always love to come and browse. kudos to CJ for being super friendly and helpful at the front w/ helping my partner set up a points account. also thank you to another male staff member who graciously offered to hold our tuxedo cat set at the front since he was in a very large box (unfortunately his name slips my mind, this was around 4pm on sunday jan 18).
pictured are the sets i have bought over multiple visits! hope to collect more in the future :)”
“First time coming here and I loved it! Beautiful variety of toys, had an amazing selection. I came because I couldn’t find a toy I was looking for and they had many and more! Plus their prices were cheaper than online stores!! Staff were very nice. Already recommended to many friends. Definitely will come again!”
“I stumbled upon this hidden gem and I'm so glad I did! I highly recommend this business.
I had a fantastic experience at Toy Centre! Aryan went the extra mile to provide excellent customer service. He was friendly, professional, and made sure our entire transaction went smoothly from start to finish.
Aryan dedicated extra effort and focus to provide a comprehensive and detailed explanation to clarify any questions.
Aryan's customer service is second to none.
The store itself is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate, which made shopping a breeze.The product quality is outstanding with a wide varity of toys surpassing standards.
I was completely impressed with their products, professionalism and customer service.”
“I have been to this place many times. Absolutely love it especially my daughter has been requesting coming back. The price was reasonable and you will get high quality and cute plushies with you. Yuki has always been so sweet and helpful to us and it was one of reasons we kept coming back to. Definitely a hidden gem underground parking! Love it!”
“Toytown is amazing! I was searching everywhere for a game, and they not only had it but went out of their way to ship it to me. They were kind, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable—truly saving Christmas! Their exceptional customer service has made me a loyal fan for life!”
“Very good customer service and good response about product inventory at LEGO Fairview Mall. Have visited this store numerous times and they always have the sets I call in advance to see if they have. The store is well organized and always is restocked.”
“Tokyo Station is an absolute gem for model car enthusiasts! The owner is one of the most friendly and kind-hearted people I've ever met. He is so passionate about his collection and loves to have a good chat, making every visit feel personal and welcoming. The prices are very reasonable, offering great value for the quality of the models. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting out, this shop is a must-visit. The fantastic service and great conversation make it more than just a store—it's a wonderful experience.”
“Ordered online from another province and was initially skeptical about paying via e-Transfer. The ordering experience was very friendly and easy though and they had my order shipped to me by the next afternoon. Support these guys, they're the real deal!”
“The first time I came here was about a year ago-- I am from the US. I followed them on IG and loved all the different kinds of stock they get, plus they are one of the few blind box stores with around 19.1K followers on social media so I was eager to see what the hype was about.
Their assortment of boxes is great! Lots of variety. Prices aren't horrible either. The shop is very bright and colorful. The boxes were all displayed and stacked neatly. I noticed a lot of the reviews complained about the cigarette scent- I didn't smell it at all. I particularly love their artist alley in the back half of the store. A great way to support small businesses/artists by buying their merch, etc. I will say the back half of the store (artist alley) is quite messy and a bit disorganized.
I knocked down a point mainly due to customer service. I've been here a total of two times. The first time I received little to no customer service- not even a hi welcome in. Same thing with this most recent visit almost a year later. Coincidentally it was the same female staff worker both times who checked me out. She seemed very stand-offish and a bit intimidating to be honest lol. I would ask about trading because I'm not exactly sure how the intricacies of the trading community/how their store runs besides the selling of blind boxes, and her response made me feel silly for asking like I should've known the answer.
I hate to make a deal out of customer service as it seems like most people who have reviewed didn't have this issue. Perhaps it was just bad luck with the this particular staff both times. But as someone who has worked in customer service before, it's something that can really make a shopping experience memorable.”
“The staff in this store are so kind, friendly, and patient! I came to buy a blind box today, and I wanted a specific character so badly. One of the staff members, Xina, went above and beyond to help me get the character I really wanted and I got it! I’m so happy with my purchase. Thank you so much, Xina! :) I really recommend this store!”
“Very helpful staff - called to see if they had an item that was showing as only 1 left in stock. The lady I spoke to put it on hold for me and I was able to pick it up later that day.”
“If we could give this place 10 stars we would!
Not only do I always find exactly when I want when I’m coming in here, customer service is the best in the neighbourhood. All three of these lovely ladies are always so helpful and friendly. A fantastic selection of both new and consignment items.
A true neighbourhood gem”

“Walked in and was immediately amazed by all the nostalgic items within the store and was helped by Dilan. After spending a couple minutes looking through binders, Dilan asked if i was looking for something specific. I mentioned Dark Magician and Dilan brought out a whole box of nostalgic Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Well, I ended up going down a rabbit hole picking up all the cards I wanted as kid. Dilan even helped me sift through the box. Definitely recommend this local store. Employees were genuine and super helpful. Thank you again Dilan!”

The storefront is cozy and packed with anime figurines, blind boxes, and a variety of merchandise spanning different series, with new things always popping up.
