I don't like leaving low ratings for stores but it seems that the Toy Shack is more a labor of love for the owners vs. a good, functional, vintage toy shop.\n\nPros: it exists.  Normally, vintage toys are things you already own from your childhood, or find in a yardsale.  You have to respect that they put together a whole store based on toys which are not produced any more.  In that sense, it's like an antique store, which you can not expect to have a consistent stock of product, but they do.\n\nCons: Prices are high and the employees seem a little crazy.  \n\nI went in the middle of the week and there was not a lot of traffic in the area.  There were only a few people in the store.  There was one employee, who was manning both the phones and the register.  I hung around for 20 minutes and as far as I could tell, nobody bought anything.\n\nIt seems to me that people who are into vintage toys might be a crazy bunch (a generalization you could also make about AD&D players, 'cat people', and furries). \nThe employee in the store was having a very loud conversation on the phone with a potential customer who would not leave him alone.  Then he proceeded to tell all of us that he is constantly getting phone calls from crazy people who won't let him get off the phone to deal with the customers in the store, and they leave poor online reviews because he won't talk to them for hours on end.\n\nThe employee proceeded to have a conversation with another customer about how they both experience frequent seizures.\n\nI asked about some Nintendo Game-N-Watch games which were severely overpriced (some were labelled with prices and some were not, but they were all locked in a glass case so I had to ask for help).\n\nThey really didn't have much in the way of video games, mostly 1990's figures etc.  They had some older stuff, but it was all locked in glass cases and there wasn't much of it.\n\nAll in all, I didn't find the store very interesting.  I guess the owner probably has a lot of older toys and a lot of information/experience in the vintage toy market, but that just doesn't translate into a useful/interesting/fun store.\n\nI feel like this store could be a lot better, but needs a little help or a makeover or something...
