Thirty-plus years in homeschool education shows up on every shelf at this Front Street shop, where wooden toys and baby gear sit alongside a serious collectibles wall: Star Wars, Star Trek, and tabletop gaming gear. Owner Dickson built it that way on purpose.

Please welcome The Curious Child in Poulsbo, WA to The Good Toy Group!

What started as Amy Tompkins' Magic: The Gathering specialty shop in 2020 has grown into Chaos Goblin Games, and it's about to open a new location in Poughkeepsie, NY with Pokémon, One Piece, and tabletop community play alongside the classics.

We are thrilled to welcome Chaos Goblin Games to The Good Toy Group this year!

Welcome to The Good Toy Group, Oakridge Toys & Hobbies!

Nearly 40 years in business, and Oakridge just finished a top-to-bottom remodel of its historic downtown Lemont, IL showroom. Everything from RC trucks to dollhouses to model trains now has fresh shelf space.

We are delighted to welcome Terry, Susan, and Chris Robb to TGTG!

Thirteen years ago, founder Amy Schulthess built Wigglish in Heber City, UT around a simple idea: fewer toys, better quality.

New owners Kenyon and Lindley Cotton are picking up where she left off, keeping Heber Valley's only specialty toy store alive for its next chapter.

Please join us in welcoming the Cotton Family to The Good Toy Group community as the new owners of Wigglish!

Please join us in welcoming Inland Octopus in Walla Walla, WA to The Good Toy Group!

A second generation now runs this Main Street fixture: Zoe, daughter of founder Bob Catsiff, has taken the reins of the toy shop he started in Walla Walla back in the late 1990s. Customers say she's brought fresh energy to the place, curating toys, books, and board games with an educator's eye, all while keeping the dense, old-school selection and free gift wrap that made Inland Octopus a downtown staple for over 25 years.

Honestly, losing internet during a busy day of work when we’re trying to help members and vendor partners is the scariest one of these! 😄

Team in action - most phenomenal group effort! 1000s of team hours are devoted each year to making the whole experience the absolute best!

Following our PlayPalooza, all hands were on deck for ASTRA Marketplace & Academy Milwaukee 2026! Wish we could stop time, enjoy these moments.

We met new stores for the first time, new people considering both the Vendor Community and Membership, fledgling stores finding out more, our Play Therapist friends in person, our Retailers, our Manufacturers and Distributors, our vital Rep Principals and Teams, our ASTRA colleagues, local store visit to Ruckus and Glee, local restaurants and hotel support friends, new and old friends, new toys investigated, questions and details clarified, visions for what could be in design, shipping, 2027 and beyond.

Most important of all a hug, handshake or connection with each and everyone from TGTG in attendance.

Simply the best.
