Toy Lair

★★★★★

“This is a GREAT store for finding those lost treasures you had as a kid or finding new ones to enjoy. The owner and his staff are great! They're very knowledgeable of the vintage toy/video game market. They're definitely fun to talk to and reminisce about the vintage stuff. I'm not knocking Toy Lair by any means... their prices are definitely on the high end of the spectrum, so check eBay and other sources online to compare. I don't mind paying a little bit extra to local businesses to buy things I collect. However, I know the mark-up on many items is definitely exuberant in the collector market since the plandemic.”

“Absolutely enjoy going into Toy Lair! We always find treasures! The owner is amazing and always willing to look for something we are in search of! He has gotten us old game controllers and now working on an old TV! Just got an amazing movie poster! Highly recommend for all things collector/gaming!”

“I was visiting Cedar Rapids for a wedding and hit up a handful of toy collector shops. Toy Lair stuck out as the area's winner for me in terms of selection and pricing. I left with an assortment of exciting (for me!) used Star Wars pieces, all of which were priced well below eBay. Two of the pieces were on the larger side, so one of the employees went into the back and got me the perfect-sized box. The employees were pleasant, too, and the shop was simply fun to be in. It was clean, bright, and had a fun setup in the front window with some old-school Nintendo action happening. Good stuff! Many thanks to Toy Lair for expanding my Star Wars collection at a price that worked for me—and for their great customer service.”
