The toy store is a treasure trove of nostalgic pieces from throughout the years, making it a place where happy memories flood back in an instant. It gained fame by appearing in the History Channel’s hit show, “Pawn Stars,” but the store preserves more treasures than what is shown on television. Browsing through the store feels like wandering through a museum, with each piece coming with its own story.
One of the most unique items in the toy store is a red box labeled, “The Atomic Energy Lab.” This is the most dangerous toy in the store, containing samples of uranium and plutonium. There are only a few known in the U.S., one here, one in the Smithsonian and one in the Atomic Testing Museum. Star Wars fans will also love the striking Darth Vader helmet with a realistic Luke Skywalker face replica inside, signed by Dave Prowse, the actor who physically played Darth Vader.
The toy store has the largest collection of Hot Wheels in Las Vegas. These toy cars are the store’s number one sellers. They have thousands and thousands of Hot Wheels, with rare ones kept behind glass on display. But they also sell less expensive toy cars for kids that play with them now. The entire back wall is covered with Hot Wheels that are all different.
The toy store buys, sells, and trades so much that when something super rare comes in, it often sells quickly. The store advises customers that if they see something they want, they should buy it because everything comes from people and they cannot guarantee that they will ever have it again.
The best time to visit the toy store is on Wednesday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Usually, the store is less busy during this time of the week. However, when conventions are in town like Level Up, they potentially make the store very busy.
