Froggie’s 5 and 10
Winner of the 2015 D Magazine Readers’ Pick Best Toy Store in Dallas, this toy store began over 40 years ago in the back of a VW Volkswagen. Think of this Dallas toy store as a mix between Spencer’s Gifts and an old-time general store filled with nostalgic toys. You are sure to find a toy that you had forgotten how much you loved years ago.
Make sure that you allow yourself plenty of time to look around. The store itself has a small footprint and shelves start at floor-level and just keep climbing.
There is a lot in there for the eyes and the hearts of children of all ages. It was easier to go shopping for myself than for other people, I must admit.
A beloved Tin Tote from Froggies circa 2010. Still gone wild.

Dallas Vintage Toys
When I discovered this Vintage Toy store in Dallas, I will admit that thrilled does not adequately sum it up. The folks at Dallas Vintage have been collecting a wide variety of vintage toys for over 16 years.
Do you need a He-Man? If so odds are good that it is in stock. Do you need that super specific Stars Wars figure? If so odds are good that it is stock. Seriously, just dream it up and these folks either have it or have a good idea of where you can find it.
The goal of this store is to make collecting that special toy fun for everyone. I think that I need to run over and get my special Wonder Woman figure right now. Shall we meet there?
By the way, their online selection is AMAZING, seriously check it out. But just know that you may want to hide your credit from yourself first.
