Best Figurine Shop Cary Near Me

Mary Plourde: I recently went to North Hills location with my 1-year-old daughter, and we had a great time browsing the selection. We found a few new toys and books that she’s been exploring and loving. The staff there was so friendly and helpful.I also appreciate that the store offers a variety of educational toys that are designed to promote social-emotional learning, problem-solving skills, and creativity. These are all important skills that I want my daughter to develop, and I'm glad that I can find toys that will help her learn in a fun and engaging way.

Ashley Galliher: Great place to find squishmellers

Rusty Shackelford: They have so many jellycats toys! My baby son loves them and had such fun picking out some new ones. Staff was friendly and helpful as well. Great experience!

Galatic Cat: Fantastic, fun place to be!

Rebecca Slater: I’ve been here a few times through the years. It’s always been “good”, went back today and it’s “WOW”. Maybe they are under new management- it’s no longer a store but a destination, a true experience. Like the sign at the door says, step into fun and nostalgia. I keep thinking about how fun this place was to walk around in! Very helpful employees that are just as excited about this experience. I have never known about a line of stuffed animal called Jellycat before- this was a showstopper. I just stood and stared - toys as art!Their rewards program is just a marketing program- no “reward”, but I’m not dinging them for it.Can’t wait to visit the other locations to see if they have all been reinvented. The feeling this place gives you is addictive! Serotonin high!!

Zoe Miller: Awesome place!! I love the staff, and the products here! The stickers are adorable and it has changed a lot over time. It's somewhat calming in there now. In the past there were kids on scooters running around the shop and stuff, now I don't see why, but it seems like less kids come here, rather, the parents getting them gifts. I do love going here though!!

Randy Spain: Creative ideas for children of all ages!

Dan Radez: Great selection and free gift wrapping! Seems like we can always find a good gift at Learning Express for any age.

Amelia Shaw: Learning Express is one of my favorite stores to go to with my kids. We moved here about three years ago and were looking for a particular game and a couple of birthday presents and wanted something unique and super fun. They have so many great products- and such a great variety!I remember walking in the first time and it was a little overwhelming and hard to find things. It didn’t really make sense in how it was set up, but I noticed that the last few times I walked in that the store felt “organized” and it was so much easier to navigate! There were lots of little additions that made it more fun to explore the store. It was more inviting, engaging, and somehow warmer. The staff were all super helpful and honestly seemed like they cared that we found toys that suited each individual kid.The biggest issue now is that we spend about 3x the amount of time when we visit and end up walking out with a lot more stuff! Especially the Jellycat area- it’s probably where all three of my kids come together and spend the most time. I’d complain, except it’s awesome that my kids (11-15 years old) all find things that are engaging and bring us together as a family. Playing and laughing together is exactly what we need! Keep doing whatever you are doing!

Tom: Friendly. Amazing things in stock. Buy local!!!

Romero Family: Looking for an intimate, focused and fun birthday party for your kids. Science Safari is the place. My 7 year old and 11 of his friends had an awesome time with Ms. Shiobhan who is amazing at redirecting curious kids. The party was an absolute success and we didn't have to lift a finger. They provided cupcakes, snacks, drinks for the kids and even a party favor and special surprise for the birthday boy. Thank you, Mr. Sean and Ms. Shiobhan!!!

Joy Lovejoy: Wide variety of science toys, live animals friendly staff and classes!

Christina Cataldo: I don't know why I haven't made my way into this awesome little shop sooner! I was with my 11 year old and we were looking for some gifts. We were immediately helped (by the owner possibly) who enthusiastically showed us the different areas of the store. My son kept himself busy while I found the perfect things. There was a class in the backroom going on and the kids, as well as the woman running it, were having a blast.The toys/games are mostly hands on learning type. Super cool local business, fabulous customer service, located in the Saltbox Village shopping center. I will definitely be back.

Jessica Johnson: My family LOVES Science Safari! It helps I have two kids who love science (who doesn't??) and their location is very convenient. I probably allow my kids to buy too much because I love supporting this family owned, science based store.

Michelle Sinnott: Great shop for kids and big kids! Prices are good. Lots of neat stuff!

Kristen Butler: I am SO pleased. We came looking for a gift for our 3 year old nephew. The wonderful man working showed us exactly what we needed. While browsing the rest of the stuff, we heard him helping several other people. You know those incredible humans who are just so delighted by helping other humans learn? This is that guy. The selection is incredible. We found so many things for a 3 year old (and much younger!) and I found so many things I want for myself as a 34 year old- obviously, every age in between. AND there are turtles!! I will absolutely be back.

Elizabeth Thomason: This place is magical! My kids have so much fun just being in here. The owner is so kind and good with kids. It’s such a pleasure to shop local at a unique place where the owner truly loves his store and customers. We will always come back here over big box stores!

Meghan Louis: They are amazing! Our #1 toy store!

Katherine Lelito: Obsessed with this store. 4 yo finds something great every time and I know they will for years. Mummy dig, OffBits robot builds, 4D human body puzzle. The staff is really knowledgeable and can help point you to picks your kid will like. They also have beautiful animal pets that the kids really like to visit.

A. Osgood: Excellent selection of STEM and educational toys! Very helpful and friendly owners. Great prices. Wonderful variety of toys for all types of interests and ages - our 4 year old child likes insects, herpetology, fossils, rainbows, and building materials and there was something for her to satisfy each of these interests. Even a "birthday bell" for the kids to ring if they visit around their birthday. A special store and a terrific local shop to support!

Sarah Duvdevani: One of the best toy stores I've ever been to!

Katy Kline: Love this store! The owners are fabulous, we love that it's a small business and more importantly we love the shop in general!

Walter: When I think about comics my first thought tends to be “Is Grace working today?”At ultimate comics off Buck Jones rd near the Thai place is a great comic store. It’s just the right size and always has great stuff in stock.That’s not why I go there though. I go because Grace is working. Have you ever found yourself asking what’s new or different out there? Maybe you just want something like Harley Quinn, or Batman? Maybe your Significant Person or kid is interested in comics? Well Grace can help. She’ll give you several choices, then alternatives to those choices, then about 5 more recommendations, plus a chat about other cool authors or art styles.Hearing her talk about them with such enthusiasm you can’t help but be wrapped up in the wonder. She’s helped me find things I would never have read on my own. Titles such as Luna, Love everlasting, poison ivy, Human Target, etc. Authors too like Tom King. Due to Graces recommendation I’m always on the lookout for anything written by Mr King and I would of missed that without her help.If you have never gotten a comic or your kids expressed interest she’s worth a chat. There a whole lot more out there than spider man.My wife will sometimes say, “you haven’t got comics in awhile is Grace working today?” Yes I read comics and have a wife who’s fine with it, dare to dream people!

Taylor Dennis: Clean and very organized. Dani was extremely sweet and helpful!

Kyle Rector: Chill and knowledgeable staff. Quick to give a good recommendation if you want one, and just as happy to leave you alone while browsing if you prefer

Michaelangelo Hayes: I've been to many comic book stores across the US but Ultimate Comics really provided an incredible experience for myself and my partner. It was so incredibly fun, the staff was super kind, the depth of comics they had was astounding (especially in the back of the store), the posters and merchandise was like walking in a nerd candy store, and they even had a great Manga section! Can't wait to come back next time I visit Raleigh.

Jason Dominguez: Amazing Selection of vintage and modern,cant wait to come back again!

Nicodemous: Great place for vintage toys and higher end collectables of more modern sets. They have everything from Power Rangers to old school GI Joe and WCW. Massive status of popular heros like Batman and any thing else you could ask for pretty much.What you won't find here is Gundams Kits (GunPla) and more Hobby shop style items such as miniatures.Definitely a shop for Toy enthusiast and collectors or the general Neek looking to see some cool items.

Reeze The Vampire: A little bit more vintage focused that I'd prefer, but a great shop nonetheless. It's nicely organized and has a massive collection. If you're into collectables or vintage toys I can't really think of a better place to visit.

Nicodemous: Amazing hobby shop! More for you traditional tinkerers. Large selection of RC cars, and planes on one side with loads of Warhammer too!The other side is just Model kits mainly Gundam (GunPla). Largest selection ive seen of Gundams in NC outside of a Convention Center! They have everything you need to get started on any Hobby they specialize in and have knowledge staff to help you do so effortlessly. You'll be hard pressed to find another store with 3 perfect grade kits setting on their shelf anywhere else in NC outside of a Con.

R Waudby: Very cool place. Was visiting the area for an event for my wife and was looking for something else of interest. Stopped in realizing their specialty was RC planes but also stock model kits. Good group to deal with.

Tim Ryan: Small but well stocked RC accessories, warhammer stuff and model paints. The car model selection has improved, but is still limited in selection of available kits.

M Something: The shop was good before, now it is even better. They expanded into a lot more space so all the stock of model kits (a great selection) are displayed and easy to access. Same with paints and other supplies. Well lighted with plenty of room to move around even when crowded.Add that to the staff being friendly, very helpful, fair pricing on products, plenty of parking, and comfortable seating. This is what a local hobby shop should be.

eric taylor: Paid to have work done and had to bring it somewhere else to get it done the right way.

Jackson Cozort: Great atmosphere for gaming, tons of paints and the only place to get my favorite glue in the entire area! TONS of models and everything you would need for a RC car or plane!

Joshua McNary: This is a nice hobby store with equal emphasis to three main hobbies, RC vehicles, Games Workshop, and plastic models that include military, space, and gunpla. The owner was friendly and courteous and even looked in the back for me for an item not on the shelves. I will go back, but a long commute limits the number of trips I'll be taking.

Zack Eakes: The staff are friendly, good selection of model kits, but they are a bit overpriced.

Jacob Herrera: Excellent customer service, very approachable and knowledgeable, extremely helpful to someone brand-new to the hobbies they support.

Randy Reed: All my gundam needs are taken care of here such a huge selection

Andrew Rich: Great model and hobby shop! Knowledgeable and helpful staff, and a great selection of models; Gundam, military, sci-fi, automotive, and anime; as well as many others I've not really looked into
