Retro Junk in
Manchester Township (CT)

This place is amazing. Great prices, manager is very friendly and helpful, HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Amazing spot. Owner is fun to chat with and the selection of items is eclectic.

Awsome store get down there any chance I can get to pick up g1 transformers and motu stuff just grabbed a few the other day and some go bots! Awsome store owner is wicked cool and will throw you deals when u buy a bunch of stuff!

This is one of my favorite stores. The owner is a great guy, who keeps the store stocked with a blend of new and old.

Love going here. Sometimes I go just to check out the new inventory to go down memory lane. Well worth the trip. The owner is super friendly and knowledgeable about everything as well. You won’t be disappointed!

Cool spot has some great old school toys and collectable if ur in the area stop in

This is the best retro game store I have ever been to and it’s not even close! Brandon is the nicest dude, he clearly has passion for what he does and his store is an awesome vibe. Their selection of games is unmatched compared to anywhere in the state, and their prices are always more than reasonable. It’s always a pleasure to head over to Manchester and stop by this wonderful store

Went down for the first time this past week and the experience blew me away. Walking in is like the first time you went to the toy store as a kid and could pick out anything you wanted. Neca figures, old school transformers and Star wars. Even got older video games and some rare stuff if you know what your looking at. Brandon is one of the nicest people I've ever met and really made the experience fun. I told him I wanted my man cave to look like his store. That also being said he has some of the best prices I've ever seen and you what your actually buying vs unknown eBay dude. 100/10 recommend if your looking for some awesome toys and being able to support an amazing small business.

One of my favorite stores, I’ve been frequenting it since I learned it existed and I always enjoy myself there. Wide array of games and other products, there’s a lot of treasures to be found. As it happened I stumbled across the very thing I’ve been searching for!

Your gaming store is better bc at least you guys never gave me a hard time bc when I went to the Grid gaming store they gave me a hard time bc all I want to do is buy the game and that's it but I love retro junk better

Super cool store. Much larger than it looks. From movies, music, to video games, it was amazing! Owner was also really nice. Was going to sell some stuff and ended up buying too!

I'm always able to find and leave with a great vintage game here because the selection is solid. It's not bogged down with junk games like Genesis sports titles or GBA fluff like some shops, the owner cuts to the chase and pride in offering with great titles! When I go in with my family, if I dont snag a game we are always sure to at least leave with a couple of stickers and even a pack of silly 80s trading cards. This is an awesome shop to support!

Whenever I'm in the Manchester area, I make sure I hit Retro Junk. Great inventory, killer prices, with an owner who puts his heart and soul into his small business. They always have an excellent selection of retro video games, toys, and curiosities, and never disappoints!

God's Plan: This is a perfect location to sell all those old trading cards and toys from the 80's & 90's, and the perfect time to do it as well. I have created a Manchester "Grind Line" that consists of driving to GameStop by the Buckland Hills Mall (take I-384), picking up my Graded PSA cards, and promptly delivering to Brandon, the shop owner, who trades for cash! This has been my routine for about a month, and though I am close to retirement, I highly recommend this strategy if you need a couple extra dollars in your pocket. Besides that, the shop has recently changed locations and is now on one of Downtown's most consumer-friendly blocks where you can find a pizza shop, a small café, and even a mega-church. Come see the sites and sounds of Old Manchester and be sure to stop by Retro Junk!

This is the best destination for a classic games & nostalgia merchandise in general. If you’re looking to buy or sell, consider doing business here to support an independent business. it’s a cool store with character. You’ll want to buy everything you see :)

This review is long overdue…. This shop is what small business is all about. Being able to walk in and have a conversation with someone who is SO passionate about what they do, and so knowledgeable about all of the cool stuff in the store. From Pokémon to Nintendo to Star Wars to that one random Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figurine you vaguely remember from your childhood… it’s all here! I can’t recommend this store enough. My kids love it, I love it, this store is a true gem and Main Street is lucky to have it!

I just wanna say this place is the Real deal ! I’ve been on a quest for the best quality & price on a Vintage old game ! With that said they didn’t disappoint . The owner of the store himself is a living legend extremely friendly and just looking to make other new local extremely happy ( which he did ) . I would now and always recommend this place for anyone looking for a piece of old memory. !!! It’s a must !! Thank you so much !

If you want a heavy dose of nostalgia, this is the place to go! My husband and I had the BEST time wandering around and exploring on a Saturday afternoon. We traded in some items to clear some space for new treasures, and felt like kids again as we scoured the shelves. We will definitely be going back again to see what other treats we can find! This store is definitely a gem... there aren't many "toy" stores around and that feeling is hard to replace. If you need to walk down memory lane, walk around Retro Junk!

Retro Junk is a cool shop with a lot of amazing games everywhere. I ended up adding a few games to my SNES collection and the owner was kind enough to cut me a cash deal which saved me a few bucks. I will definitely be returning.

From GenX to GenAlpha, there was something for everyone. We really love this store! So many options and definitely a fun walk down memory lane. The prices were very fair, the selection was eclectic, and the customer service was warm, welcoming, and friendly. Also, bonus points for the arcade games. My 12 year old was thrilled! We shop small local business as often as we can and we will definitely make this part of our fun days out.

My husband has been going to him since he was at the mall starting off. Seeing his growth and amazing customer service. We will always be a retro junk regular!!! My husband always came home with a huge smile!!!

This place is awesome!! The fellow who owns it is so friendly and knowledgeable, my kids love going here (and I do too) I brought some items to sell and he gave me a fair price and a smile. If you like all things nerdy and cool check this place out!

Walked in today while a gentleman was exiting with a huge smile on his face, and that is exactly how my family left the shop as well. Amazing atmosphere! Brandon definitely knows his inventory and is super helpful. He really seems to have a knack for knowing what costumers may be excited about and just genuinely always makes you feel comfortable in his shop! Even going above and beyond to help keep my wild toddler happy while I was making my selection. The store is well-organized and clean. Loved hearing about what’s coming next for this great spot and excited to visit again!

If you want to go back to your childhood and relive all those awesome memories, this is the store for you. From the moment you walk through the door, your mind will be blown by all the awesome stuff! The owner is the nicest guy you’ll ever meet and his inventory will literally have you saying things like: “oh my god” “No freakin way!” “I had that toy!” Seriously, this place is a must visit and worth taking a road trip for. They even have an arcade section in the front of the store! The best shop in town, no, the best shop in the State and super clean, too. (Unlike the nasty dollar store up the block) ?

I stopped into Retro Junk as I had other business in the area and this is my honest review. Firstly, this is their new location as of March 2023. They haven't completely set everything up yet, but the place looks amazing already. They have all kinds of vintage toys, retro games, VHS, magazines, CDs, and even vintage clothing for sale. They also sell a good deal of Funko Pops which are all incredibly well priced. They even have a small arcade at the entrance with more game cabinets to be coming soon! The owner was a really cool guy and made everyone who walked through the door feel very welcome. The other guy who runs the clothing side of business was also really cool and friendly. I was able get some amazing deals here that I honestly don't think that I could have gotten anywhere else. Although their retro game selection was a bit lacking, I think that once they have the time to really set everything back up and start purchasing new stock that they will be the best in the area. Retro Junk is an amazing store. They definitely deserve five out of five stars! Definitely give them a visit if you are in the area!!!

This is a great upgrade to a store that already holds a warm spot in the hearts of many Manchester citizens. Retro Junk is anything but junky; rather it's a bright, well stocked, fun feeling store full of nostalgia and collectibles, old and new. From classic video games and consoles to figurines and more, Retro Junk is sure to revive your inner kid!

Best Vintage Toy shop around! We stop in every time we are in CT. He has all of the best toys. Covers every childhood from the 70s, 80s to today.
