Hey. Any southern New Englanders frequent the greatest toy store ever?

Rest of the USA, feast your eyes on TOY VAULT. Nearly everything you could ever imagine. A wall of Star Wars toys in their packaging? GOT IT. How about old school Nintendo games? GOT A CASE OF IT.

shit, /toy/ would melt. Revoltechs, old and new TF's, marvel, everything /toy/ related.

Post experiences. lets gush

I was there last Thursday. Got some more Shock Troopers for my Clone Army and some Gundam gashapons for my friend for Christmas.

I've gone to all three locations at least once (Westfield one was kinda lame because it just opened). I spent a lot of last summer at the Attleboro location.

This is hilarious, I bet a good chunk of /toy/ pass each other all the time at the Toy Vault.

This place is simultaneously incredibly awesome and incredibly dangerous.

Emerald Square location is probably the best. Best people working there, cleanest store, best location, and best employees.

I've also noticed the best selection of stuff there, like, the entire corner of Joes and Transformers.

I live in Connecticut and I've never heard of this place, is there a way I can check store locations?

Sadly, there are none. It's mostly action figures and stuff.
>>338192
Their stores are in North Attleboro, MA; Wakefield, RI, and Warwick, RI.

You meant to say Wakefield. I think I'm going to check it out tonight. I frequent the other two a lot.

>>338168

I'll agree with friendliness and cleanliness. It all depends on what you're looking for, but the Emerald Square back corner is fucking amazing. GI Joe, TF, Revoltechs and old school games surrounding you.

Im gonna check out the Wakefield store after class in about an hour and a half and report back afterwards.

Ah yeah, Wakefield. Whatever, though, it's located in the middle of nowhere. I'll go back someday, but I'm not expetcing much.

The Emerald Square store is pretty close to Hasbro, we're frequent shoppers there. Next time you're there take notice of who's using a corporate card to make their purchases...

Not surprising. One time I was selling the set of three Droid Starfighters from Episode I to that store, and some random older guy said, "Hey! I designed that!".

How are the prices? Is this one of those joints that tries to sell common old NES carts for ridiculous money (lol SMB/Duck Hunt for $5) and loose, beat common G1 transformers (I don't mean the in-demand ones like Jetfire) for $25?

Their prices are pretty damn reasonable, for the most part. They also don't sell beat-up stuff usually, except like, Joes and Star Wars toys placed in bags for cheap.

Sounds heavenly for a nostalgiafag like me. Shame my driving job never sends me up that way from Jersey (instead, I have Delaware and Pennsylvania routes)

I prefer going to the one in Emerald Mall but the Rhode Island Mall is closer so I frequent that one. I can never decide what I want to get, so many awesome toys to choose from. I have to avoid checking out the Pokemon cards they have or I won't leave with any toys.

Yeah, but the Rhode Island Mall is hilariously pathetic and the store smells like cat pee.

OP here,

>>338459

Agreed to that. Poor Rhode Island Mall. The only plus side is there's a Walmart on the other side, a Toys R Us next to it and two Target's nearby. It's practically a hunter's haven. I frequented that spot often in search of TFA's earlier.

>>338377

They are run pretty well. There's a lot of stuff MOC or MIB and even the loose stuff is in good condition. You wont overpay for anything, unless it's rare or out of date.

I just came back from the Wakefield store. It's an xbox huge store but unfortunately they're seriously understocked in comparison to Emerald Square Mall and Rhode Island Mall. If they model that store like the others (cases and displays in the middle of the room in a circle) and overstock it, they should be pretty good. But I don't know how busy they expect that store to be, could be a reason to leave it less than stellar.

I did find the Marvel Transformers "Are All Dead" cover with shockwave that I've been trying to track down. Nothing else stuck out, but I wasnt looking for anything else.

If you're ever in the area, come check it out.
