“Really excellent destination for all things horror, both buying and selling. After over a year of trying to offload some old copies of Fangoria magazine I was finally able to get a really excellent deal here, and had to force myself not to turn around and spend it all in store! A truly special place in the Midcities for the young and young at heart”
“Love love love this place. Employees are the best and always helpful. I’m an adult builder and always looking for parts I do not have. They always help either thru email or in person to get the parts I need!”
“Actually enjoy this place a lot, mainly for the nostalgia factor it gives someone like myself who grew up on the old games and toys. The 5 star review is purely based on the kindness and knowledge that the guys here have. They bring that store to life and have an answer to any question you may have. Keep it up guys, love that these stores are still available to this day.”
“Avery is the best rc enthusiast/shop owner I've ever met. Like seriously nice guy. My kid was smiling like he is now when we went to the shop and my nephew has joined in. 9 hours in one day. Didn't even ask for a break or their Nintendos none of it. Trainville is where it's at for them. Fully recommend this to enhance your kids imagination over their tablets and such. Time to clean out the shed for a dedicated train room. Avery thank you so much again for your help with the axle repair and see you soon! Gonna need a lot of street lamps!”
“Stumbled on this place last year and what began as a place to dig in the $2 bins turned into one of my favorite places to go. Great prices, super clean store, open floor but well stocked so it’s comfortable browsing, and the guys behind the counter are great fun to talk to and kill some time with. I begrudgingly recommend shopping here, only because I’m selfish and want to keep the secret for myself.Also I found it very commendable they hired a guy that obviously needed it. (Beard and giant chains, usually a ball cap)Also check out their Facebook! Two weekly streams to get your new comics and one for back issues and other awesome items. Jeez that sounds like a plant. I assure you it’s not, I’m just a happy customer.”
“Pretty cool place. Don’t go to comic shops super often but spent a while in here looking around. Dude behind the counter was nice and helpful to anyone I saw come in”
“Matt was great to work with on selling my Gi Joe and Star Wars collection. He was fair with the price offered and very knowledgeable. Great selection in the store.”
“Super friendly service, and turnaround was quicker than expected for a charging port replacement on my son's Switch Lite. They have a lot of cool retro video games and consoles as well.”
“The Happy Lark saved our Christmas! We bought our son a Micro Maxi foldable scooter from *unnamed big box store* in early December. When it arrived nearly 2 weeks later, we opened it only to find out they sent the wrong item. By that time (Dec. 16), the Micro scooter was sold out or unavailable until after Christmas everywhere.Thankfully we stumbled across The Happy Lark, who showed 2 left in stock in the color we wanted. We weren’t sure it would arrive by Christmas Eve, but the website said they usually ship in 1-2 days and we figured we had nothing to lose by that point.We ordered it Dec. 16 and it arrived Dec. 19! We had plenty of time to get it wrapped and can’t wait for our son to open it. Lesson learned - shop small businesses first! Thank you to The Happy Lark. We will be return customers!”

“I love this store! The ladies who work here are so friendly and helpful. They have unique, educational and different types of toys. If you homeschool I highly recommend stopping in. They gift wrapped my son's gifts for free. Saved me a step this week. I will definitely be back to shop this local business!”
“Awesome store! Great selection of vintage and new Star Wars merchandise. Very reasonable prices too! The staff is very friendly and super helpful. Highly recommend. A+”

“Randomly dropped in here because I was on this side of town, and I was really impressed with their large inventory.Nice selection of Gunpla at a fair price, and a little big of everything in the nerd hobby space.”
“I will only bring my electronics to retro madness they are so polite and very professional and very honest if there's something wrong they tell you the truth they don't sit here and try to take your money and all the gentlemen that work here are very very nice. Don't take your electronics anywhere else .”
“Super anime outlet has to be one of the best stores in Arlington that sells anime and figures. The figures are amazing quality and HUGE and they always have Funko pops even the ones that are newly released. I go every Friday and find what I want, sometimes I even walk out with way more than I planned to get because there’s so much cool stuff there that I want to buy. The store isn’t the only thing that’s amazing, the service is also amazing, the people that work there are all so nice and patient with all of their customers. I always get greeted in with kindness and respect that it makes me feel welcomed and want to come back again and again. This place is amazing i honestly can’t stop going and getting what i want for my collection!”

“The associate didn't greet me or tell me about deals. However, I did overhear her discussing deals with a couple while I looked around. The establishment has a variety of items. plus, there's enough space to walk around without being in others' way.”
“Love this place! It’s always clean and the staff is friendly. The self checkouts are no longer self checkouts (like all other retailers) but that’s fine I like the personal experience and don’t feel like a hurd of cattle being run through there.”
“Was pleased with my first trip there! I got a brand new baby tub and also a used diaper genie for less than $25 and it would’ve been almost $100 if bought off my baby registry. The cashier was super nice and explained a lot of how the business works to us!”
“A really great store! The people are always amazing, and they have some awesome stuff. It is a little annoying that they have such a small incense supply, and that is my main reason to go there, outside of gifts for people, but I mean it's not really even a huge market so I didn't really expect it to, other than that several other locations had a lot. It's still not something I would take stars off for.”
“Have always meet my needs. Yes they are closed to walk ins. Understanding why, I then call my orders in and they tell me when to pick up. They meet me at my car. Once you know how there working these hard times there’s no problem. Love my service.”
“I've been to many different Build-A-Bears in the DFW area and this one is by far my favorite one to go to! The staff is always so kind and helpful and Krystle is amazing! She always goes above and beyond and super sweet. :) Would definitely recommend this BAB to others. I always have a great experience! <3”
“I'm so glad they are back. If you haven't been here yet, it is a must-see. If you have kids, this will save you time and money for Christmas gifts and birthdays, amongst other things. Be warned that if you take the kids with you, you will be spending extra money because it's full of TOYS. The staff is hit or miss on friendliness, but that doesn't stop me from going.”
“I cannot express the joy from my experience here. Without going into too many details, Lauren helped make Christmas for my 9-year-old nephew by giving up the Toothless bear that she was going to purchase for herself. There is not a big enough reward to give this woman for her incredible kindness and generosity. I cannot thank her enough!!!”
“Great store, clean, all your gaming needs in one building, and the employees are some of the best, very helpful and always come up and ask if you need help finding anything and can answers all your questions from game reviews to the best gaming set up and devices to fit your needs. Best game stop by far, the only one I go to!”

“This place is still open! I remember when I was younger going to the clearance sell when the store was closing. By apparently the reopened back in April of 2023. They usually closed down after the holidays to restock but have since opened back up. The store is not what it used to be but if you are ever in the Fort Worth area make sure to check this spot out! The service was amazing and the had a very wide selection of toys, including barbie, hot wheels, etc. They are usually 50% of there original stickers price! Such a hidden gem!”
“Had a great variety of items to choose from and I actually found the items that were on sale I was looking for. My friend had never been to an Ollie's so she was like a kid in a candy store LoL. We hit every Isle and we both came out with a shopping cart full of goodies. If I'm ever in the area I'll definitely be back to this location”
