Toy Corner

Opened in 2003, Toy Corner is located at Pelican Plaza in Ridgehaven, South Australia and sells Lego sets as well as parts and accessories. Taken with DSi camera.

Nice, it's bigger than the small store I always go to; Perron 4.

I haven't really looked much but does anyone know if there is a store like this in the States? Particularity around Cincinnati Ohio? Thanks! Theses are wonderful little shops. I hope I can can find one.

Best regards,

I am jealous, that toy store looks like it would be great to shop in. I bet they got many many boxes of the collectable minifigs.

I'm jealous of you aussies, some of those sets have been discontinued for years! Wish I had somewhere like that that DIDN'T jack up the prices.

[prateek]

Wow, what a find. I wish there were small Lego shops here. I would apply for a job there right a way! BTW, those park benches and street lights are really overpriced

Ah, now you know my secret to my creations, that's my spare parts shop I go too at least once a week !

The guy you see at the computer is a friend of mine, his name 'Heath' and a Transformer/Mechwarrior/Lego Trains fan (could say nut but that might be cruel ! )

I'm a conformist! everyone !

This place looks awesome, I'm definitely going to have to visit later this year when I go down to see my parents in Adelaide. Thanks for posting the photos!

Are you sure that's not the Lego vault? I can see many very old sets on those shelves! Are the prices fair? I saw places like this in my dreams. Must be great walking into a store and being able to buy sets from decades ago...

[RileyC]

That place is fantastic!

Im so jealous that you are able to buy really old sets from there. Do the prices for those sets go up after they have been discontinued?

[lightningtiger]

That's not a Lego vault it's a real store, I shop there all the time hence my debt problems and they have current sets plus stacks of early 00's back down to mid 90's stuff !

You can buy from them any where in the world, try here.....Toy Corner web site and I'm a conformist! everyone !

How are the prices tho.?

[gratefulnat]

Wow, I just died and went to heaven (wasn't aware heaven was in Australia... ).

What an awesome shop

Thanks for sharing.

Not too bad, usual R.R.P. unless rare sets of course attract a higher price, contact them with what you want and they should be able to tell you how much in your countries currency with freight....yes don't forget the freight costs from Australia (or in the land of Oz)!

I'm a conformist! !

Only two things in my checklist now:

[ ] Become a millionaire.

[ ] Move to Australia.

Nice store. We don't see too many little stores like that anymore.

It was even better a year or two ago, had almost all Harry Potter sets at reasonable prices, the Studios line seemed to have a different set discounted every time I went there. About two years ago I stupidly did a favour for someone on bricklink that wanted a cloud city Boba Fett for his son (and a long sob story about his son) and told him toycorner sold them for $25 AUD and would ship to USA. Then I find out he bought them all purely for re-sale on bricklink.

I went there last year on the way to a daytrip in Hahndorf. It's such an amazing place! (Toy Corner that is, though Hahndorf is lovely too, even if its German heritage is exploited a bit for the tourists) I pledge to start one in my retirement, some 40 years from now.

The shop has way more things for sale than the website shows; complete product lines from about 1996 onwards, plus service baggies and individual parts/baseplates/minifigs. The story goes (from what I heard from the man in the shop) that around 2000 the founder filled a shipping crate full of discounted LEGO in America and then shipped it all over to Adelaide. Hence some of the sets from last century having American style boxes (piece count on front etc.)

Toy Corner does have things for sale that are reasonably priced compared to Bricklink prices, and people exploiting that just make the store less enjoyable for others.

OK, I went on the site, and the prices on sets/parts are ridiculous, but the prices n figs are great! I'll have to keep this in mid for the future.
