How very rockin' that this place is several rooms of decent toys, a lot of which are educational. Their pricing was ok too, about market rate, I say. No insanely crazy markups. They gift-wrap and was able to offer a wooden block set my nephew adores and so he had one extra gift to open for his birthday.

I'm happy with them, and happy there is another alternative to Toys R Us. Sad there is no more of that large toy store downtown though, I thought that was pretty cool.

I love Talbots, they carry, bikes, trains, and all those hard to find toys. This store is always a life saver for me at Christmas time, when you can't find that right toy anywhere else. Can be pricey at times.

Talbots not only carries a HUGE supply of toys, hobbies, models & trains, but also rivals Babies R Us for strollers and other assorted baby/kid gear. In fact, they seem to have the largest selection of higher-end stroller brands on the peninsula. The store is also not too far from the Caltrain station, so it's a fun outing to take the train to Talbot's.

Talbots has a really wonderful selection of toys for newborns and up. I have purchased blankets there and a trike for my kid. She also loves to play in the section of dolls and their accessories. Prices are high but you already know it when you enter the store.

The name of the store is Talbots (Toyland) but they are really a hobby shop. That's where the strength of this store lies. They have an incredible selection of scale model cars. They have the biggest selection of miniature trains and accessories I have ever seen and I've visited quite a few hobby shops. No way ToysRUs or any other store even comes close in the miniatures category. They also have an excellent selection of minature furniture, miniature houses, miniature people, etc.

Of course they also have the usual assortment of board games, dolls, RC cars, boats, YugiOh, they also have a bicycle shop where they sell and repair bicycles.

The biggest con shopping here is the price. The prices aren't that much higher than you would find at say ToysRUs or Target, but are definitely more expensive overall.
