Be warned, you will end up buying some cool stuff.I also ended up having my vehicle serviced at the same place. My car was well taken care of, and I was treated fairly. I will be back again with my other vehicles, and I will recommend this auto repair to all my friends.”

697 Hillside Ave., New Hyde Park“ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK CUZ I WILL LEAVE THE STORE WITH MANY ITEMS ?. I recommend this place for any fnaf fans since there’s a good amount of fnaf merch here. Also great amount of hello kitty things here too if you’re a fan of Hello kitty.”
“This shop is an easy five star based on their inventory, staff knowledge and overall great atmosphere to shop in. Willis Hobbies has been around MIneola since 1949. Not only have they been a fabric of the community but they always show their commitment to Mineola through their participation in Village events. If you can think of it.... You'll find it here. Plenty of electric cars, models (that go up to 2,000 pieces), lots of model trains and trains-accessories. The beauty of the shop is that the team here are experts. Depending what you're looking for will determine who you speak with. There is value shopping in a store that understands your needs and advices you accordingly. They always set up race cars at the MIneola Street to become more involved and engaged with the residents. In summation... there are good people here. KUDOs top the team at Willis Hobbies.”
“My daughters party favors came out great and were a hit! We love KJ’s corner. Such a great spot for gifts, balloons and party favors. Definitely has a great assortment toys to choose from. Very unique things you can’t find anywhere else. Both staff and owner are amazing!”

3639 Merrick Rd, Seaford“Fun stuff toys is our go to toy store. Our physical go to toy store I should say. There aren't many toy stores around anymore… I remember growing up we had Toys "R" Us we had KB toys. We had a bunch of different toy options but then again, that was before Amazon… It's nice to bring my son to an actual physical toy store and see him experience the way I used to at Toys "R" Us even my two older kids had Toys "R" Us but now Everybody orders everything off of Amazon or online… But if you want to bring your child to an actual physical toy store, just like what we used to have growing up this would be the place to go! Sure it is a quite a bit smaller than the toy stores we used to have, but again at least there is one physical place you can bring them to strictly designated to toys. The prices obviously are a little bit higher than what you would pay on Amazon for a specific toy, I know because I've done it while in the store and saw a significant difference in pricing… But I feel like you're paying for the experience also, if that even makes sense. It's nice to be able to bring your child and see him or her. Enjoy the toys before you actually purchase them. I would highly recommend fun stuff toys not because of the pricing, because it's significantly higher, but just to watch your children enjoy their shopping experience in an actual toy store. They have a great selection, the store itself is always very clean, and we can spend an hour or two just walking around the store even though it's smaller because of the experience, they will receive while shopping. I love seeing that continuous smile on his face, moving from toy to toy and actually trying them out before the actual purchase. To me, the smile, and the laughter of my child is worth every single penny!”

“The owners know all their products and are very experienced with importing merchandise that otherwise might be difficult to attain here in the States. From Transformers to Gundam, from Power Rangers to Ultraman, from One Piece to Jujutsu Kaisen, they’ve quite literally have it all.

630 Old Country Rd Space 1057, Garden City“What kid doesn't love going to the LEGO STORE. Wish I had enough money to buy all the sets my kids want. So many sets I want for myself! Lego is part educational, so I'd much rather spend money on Legos than some toy that will end up in the basement. (Photo of special event cat)”
“Loved this place for trinkets and finds at great prices. Especially during holiday decor season! Saddened that this location has closed. Please update GOOGLE as I traveled to permanent closure , web listed as still open.?”

293 Sunrise Hwy, Lynbrook“Trainland is a fantastic store with multiple layouts on display; huge selection of all scales. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and take their time to explain the products, along with helping customers troubleshoot. The online store (Trainworld) is my goto place for buying all things trains. They ship quickly, prices are competitive, and they stand behind the products they sell. Trainland continues to excel at providing that in person experience in the age where brick and mortar hobby stores continue to close. Highly recommend visiting and buying something there. They have everything from the Thomas trains for kids to the extremely high-end hobbyist quality products.”
“I love this variety card and gift store. They have almost everything including lottery. I never walk out without buying something. There Willow Tree collection is so up to date. I love gazing at them. Of course I buy one here and there. There cards are plentiful and beautiful. Have fun there.”

142 Fulton Ave, Hempstead“No weekend is complete without a run to 5 Below. It's always for something that's needed like a phone charger cord and then I wind up seeing so many other things that I feel like I must have. This location is usually pretty well stocked and the staff is friendly. Every once in a while they're short handed up front but they seem to make it work. On this trip I got pillows and a throw for my guest bedroom because they were super cute and affordable. I also bought another bookcase/organizer because I used one of theirs for my pop up shop set up and it works really great. Even though some things are more than $5 most of my items were actually $5. If you have a very small child, I'm warning you they have lots of cute toys and a lot of candy especially near the checkout so either prep them before you go in or don't bring them.”

“Karen was such a help in choosing gifts for my brother (an adult with multiple disabilities). He and his group-home housemates were delighted with her choices and one of the staff thought they would be perfect for her special-needs relative. I was glad to pass along your address and Karen's name.”
“Having just gotten into the hobby last year, this shop was a god send. From recommendations to standard collecting practices. Pete, the owner has been very knowledgeable and honest from my experience. I’ve since traveled the island checking out other shops. I alway find myself coming back to this one. Great people, I definitely recommend checking it out if anything.”

44 Atlantic Ave, Oceanside“I recently visited E-magine Toys and it was a total blast! ? The store had an incredible selection of toys for kids of all ages. From action figures to board games, they had it all. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, and they helped me find the perfect gift for my niece. The store was well-organized and had a fun and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend checking out E-magine Toys for all your toy shopping needs!”
“Heard about this store from the LI Teachers group on FB. Greatest little find. Store has teacher supplies throughout but most of it is concentrated in the back. The woman at the register is extremely helpful. If you can’t find something, just ask her, she will let you know if they have any more in the back or if the are ordering more supplies. They also laminate anything you buy for free. Plus teachers get a 15% discount. Great store and customer service.”
“The main reason for this 5 star review is for Wilson who helped me put together a beautiful wedding arrangement of $200. His attention to detail, commitment and communication skills are incredible.Unfortunately, door dash delivery was a complete disaster. The 2 most expensive ballons were already deflated along with 4 other balloons. They wrapped the bags around our lamp post and broke of the tge lamps. He strongly suggest to pick up your Ballon arrangements.”

254 Sunrise Hwy, Freeport“Keep in mind that the merchandise really doesn't make the store. They are all cookie-cutter stores. For me, it's the salespeople. The Freeport store has a nice young man who is quite helpful making my shopping easier.”
“I don't go frequently but it's always a nice break for me. Good variety. Good staff. Appreciate Ya'll for allowing this guy to revisit an old hobby from back when. ???”
“What an awesome toy store! I was visiting family in Long Island for a few days when my aunt and I went shopping for Christmas. There was a great variety of options and all of the employees were so lovely, especially Morgan! She helped my aunt and I figure out what to get my siblings and cousins for Christmas and she was very fun to talk to. There hasn’t been a toy store in person that I’ve seen in a while like this one and I recommend to anyone in the area for sure.”
“Wow, what an amazing store! The variety of comic books, action figures, and other nostalgic items are fantastic. It really takes you back to your childhood. Big shout out to Phil who was super friendly, welcoming and helpful!”
