Testimonials

On 11/14/2025 Joseph Wheeler had this to say:
This place is awesome. Lots of cool nostalgic items for sale. The owner was very helpful I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for some reasonably priced nostalgia. In fact, I'm hesitant to recommend them because I don't want him to sell all his good stuff two other people, I want it all for myself! Seriously this is a great store and it's worth the time out of the way to see it.

I used to come here often as a student who attended the local high school, and it's one of my favorite stores in all of downtown tacoma! I cannot tell you how much money I spent here, and how much I saved thanks to how friendly and generous the employees are. To anyone thinking of going, I definitely encourage you to at least visit this shop once!!!

A great selection of toy vehicles, perfect for my son, especially construction vehicles. A great collection of DVDs as well. It's a nice place to spend your time and look through things. Testimonial written by Dan on this site.
