“I've been a loyal customer of this store for many years now. Outstanding gifts, service, friends = always a delightful experience! Highest recommendation.”
“Good stuff Cheap. What can I say. You definitely need to go back every so often to see what new things they get in.
I've been going to Ollie's since the building 19 days. Always walk out with something. Good for bargains and even that random thing you didn't know you were looking for. I'll go back as needed. Friendly staff and pretty clean store.”
“Elise took incredible care of me and my niece. Had the upmost patience with us while still sticking to the script. She made our experience fun and memorable on Black Friday. Thank you Elise”

“staff asked if we’d like to have stamps on our Lego passport , we said “can we have all of them?” And they actually did it! Thanks Mo and Liam”
“Hannah is the best manager ever. She’s going 6 for 6 right now with the Series “have a good run”. She deserves a raise with how good she is. I almost lost the bet. She made sure I had a good run??”
“A convenience store on steroids! There is a lot to offer here. They've got the usual convenience store items, but a lot of unusual things too that you wouldn't expect to find. They sell greeting cards, baby toys, yarn?, cooking and baking needs, games, health & beauty, cleaning supplies, and the list goes on. You really just need to stop by and go up and down every aisle. They even have just for men hair color. It's like a small General Store. I've lived in Lincoln for 12 years and have never been in this store before, but I'm glad my curiosity peaked.”
“I do very much appreciate this GameStop in Woonsocket and the team of employees there. They are always on top of things at this store. They are well organized, fair, and follow procedures well. I am however very sad and upset that the Pokemon card prices have gone way up. I also know this out of the store's control and these things are decided at a much higher level of the company it just still is very sad and frustrating. I've been going to GaneStops for Pokemon cards for a very long time. Back before all the madness started even. Back when you could walk in and look through a large selection and get exactly what you wanted without much issue. Anyways. I do appreciate the store and the employees there. Thank you all.”

“Hasbro gets five stars out of me for a toy line and property they acquired through their acquisition of Tonka in 1991: MASK. MASK was created and sold by Kenner. The white-and-blue Kenner logo and/or name was on the MASK toys, boxes, etc. Kenner became a subsidiary and division of Tonka in 1987. The MASK toy line ran from 1985 to 1988. So, for the majority of its production run, Kenner (or Kenner Parker Toys) was the main owner and manufacturer of the MASK toys. Not Tonka, not Hasbro. I was such a big fan of MASK that, when I was a kid, I wrote a letter to Kenner asking if they'd make new MASK toys. I got a letter back in the mail from Hasbro explaining how they had ultimately acquired Kenner and that there were no plans for new MASK toys. I was about nine then and I think that was my first exposure to mergers and acquisitions. Ha. MASK is one of the more obscure and forgotten franchises of the 80s. It's not surprising because they had to compete against juggernauts like GI Joe and Transformers (also Hasbro properties). MASK was like a hybrid of GI Joe and Transformers. You had good guys (MASK: Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) and bad guys (VENOM: Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem) who wore masks - each mask had a unique special power - and drove/piloted vehicles that transformed into battle machines. Pretty awesome. Like many toy lines from the 80s, MASK had a cartoon TV series to help sell the product. To this day, I remain impressed with the level of detail in the toy design, both in look and in function, as well as the wide variety of vehicle types. Every vehicle - from sports car to motorcycle to tanker truck to ATV to F1 race car to dune buggy (I could go on) - looked like a miniature version of its real-life counterpart. The little action figures, which could fit perfectly into the vehicle seats, resembled the characters on TV, complete with distinct masks that fit over their heads. However, most impressive was the ability for each vehicle to transform as depicted on the show. Some true engineering work went into these toys. I'd love to learn more about the history behind MASK, its creation by the folks at Kenner (now Hasbro), and where and how exactly the toys were made. As a diehard MASK fan, I have to admit that the show hasn't held up well over time. It was definitely made for kids in the 80s. The toys are something I still treasure. As the saying goes, I'm not sure Hasbro would make them the same way today if they were to ever release a new line for MASK. While curious, I probably wouldn't be into it. Obviously, nostalgia plays a role in my biased opinion. In the 80s and 90s, other Hasbro toy lines that I was a fan of, to varying degrees, included Battle Beasts, the aforementioned GI Joe and Transformers, GoBots, and the official WWF action figures. The Hasbro WWF Superstars were hilarious.”
“Decided to downsize my Lego collection, brought everything in to these guys. They gave me a great cash or store credit offer. It was fair for both of us and could not be happier with the exchange.
They had a great selection of new and used sets at good prices. Saw some amazing mini figures in their collection as well.
100 percent recommended stopping by!”
