“"We're playin' those mind games together Pushin' the barriers, plantin' seeds Faith in the future, outta the now" (John Lennon) Is there anything better at bringing out your inner child than wandering around an incredible toy store loaded with more toys and games than you ever thought existed? We wanted to pick up a few odds and ends to send to the grands for their Valentine's Day box, and we ended up staying for close to an hour because Pinwheels had us in a trance. They have all the traditional things, including a full height wall of Barbies and accessories, plus a crazy amount of stuffed animals, dolls, craft kits, toy tucks, Pokemon stuff, sports cards, Legos, slimes, Squishmallows, Jellycats, and things I never heard of but must be super popular. They have a lot of these teeny tiny miniature collectibles that are a big hit with the "Under Ten" crowd. They also have a discount section with reduced pricing. If you're in the market to pick up something for the children in your world, you can't go wrong here at all.”
“Caroline was a very big help very Knowledgeable person great Attitude personality yes I will go back again and tell my friends about this place if Google had more 5 stars she will get it from me”
“Broke the rudder on my r.c. boat. I acquired the part , and brought it to Time Machine Hobby. I was kindly greeted when I entered, and was directed to the back to the store to find Wayne.Wayne was great, super informative, and fixed my boat no problem.As I waited, I went upstairs and saw their amazing model train set, slot car track, and crawler course. Very cool place.I will def go back to purchase my first r.c. plane!!”
“The place was a bit disorganized but had some really cool stuff for a fair price. Comics and figures as well as miscellaneous merchandise and some gunpla. The person working there was also nice and was fun to talk to”
“I went to The Paper Store in Evergreen Walk in search of a gift for a friend who loves Lilly Pulitzer stuff. They have a small selection of Lilly Pulitzer clothing, but they also have accessories and stationary. This Paper Store has everything here. There's fall decor, puzzles, Barbies, games for kids. There's tumblers, of all sizes, colors and brands, including the very popular Stanley cup.There's gifts for men, like camping stuff and socks. Of course the men's section is much smaller in comparison to everything else.There's jewelry here, like Kendra Scott.They have all kinds of decor for your home. With the fall season in mind, there's all sorts of decorative pumpkins for fall. Most of the items are pretty expensive, if you could find the same item at Marshall's I'd get it there instead. Most items are sold at manufacturer's price. They have a very small section of sale items.It's also good to look here during Christmas for a special ornament.The Paper Store may be a good place to find a special gift that may be difficult to find elsewhere.”
“Just learned that they are opening a new store in Newington on Berlin Turnpike in the old big lots building in 2025! They’re planning to open one in Rutland, VT too!”
“They have a great selection and if you are looking to buy miscellaneous pieces in bulk, their pricing is better than bricks n minifigs. I definitely recommend! It's a great place for novice and expert builders alike.”
“I will admit this is one of my most favorite places. If I were to be writing a wonderful review, that will not be the case. My dad and I drove all the way to the store in Manchester, Ct just to see that it has been temporarily closed for technical issues. All in all I’ve always had a fun experience with BAB, but not this time. So for anyone hoping to set foot in the store, I’ll advise you not to for the will be closed for the time being”
“Great throwback hobby shop with tons of inventory and good prices. Store has been closed for the past week or so with no message at door or on website, I hope all is well.”
“Less busy than Manchester but either have cashiers or don't. Most people don't need - nor do they want - someone telling them which register they're allowed to use when all are open and they're paying with a card. They also don't want to be asked to purchase a bag when they're literally carrying the one or two items they're buying.PS: I *prefer* self checkout but one of the appeals is not having to talk to employees unless there's a problem.”
“I originally thought this was only a paper good store. Much to my surprise, there were so many other items:Vera Bradley, unique clothing, accessories, jewelry, food and more. A fun place to visit. You will not leave empty handed”
