I have been a fan of Cherry Bomb toys for years, since I found and brought home an original Lego 2007 UCS Millennium Falcon back in 2014. These days I am a contributor of old collectibles rather than a buyer, but I love to browse through their stock whenever I wander downtown. Great place to find thing from your childhood, whether that was 10 years ago or 50. Very knowledgeable staff and staunch supporters of the community (e.g. Capital City Comic Con). P.s. They have an original boxed 2007 UCS Millennium Falcon in stock right now for the diehard 'original' Lego fans.

Bee and Candace run a great shop!
Always something new coming through to look at every time I come through.
The new location is still coming together but it looks great! Even more great vintage quarter munchers out now too.

Awesome unique toy store, worth checking out for the 80s toys & friendly staff. My kids are always excited when I tell them we are going to cherry bomb toys

They had a great selection of vintage and newer toys; lots of action figures. Staff were great to deal with and the store was well laid-out and tidy, which considering the amount of toys in the store was kind of remarkable!

There are so many of my favorite childhood toys in this store. Great place for finding collectables and rekindling the childhood spirit. Ask about the toy museum upstairs. It is by donation and worth a few bucks to check out. The staff are helpful and very knowledgeable.

Fantastic store for buying antique or even somewhat recent retired toys. Amazing selection, especially for Lego! 10/10 for any Lego or old toy fans!

A family run store with a vibe that all those that enter are like old friends. The staff are amazing and know the products really well (this is not easy with vintage items) I always go in when I visit Victoria and they all know me by name. Never have left without finding a gem I either wanted or did not know I needed. Also the museum on the top floor is a must see it will take you back in time with the history of toys. This is a must visit place for the toys, the memories and the staff.

Amazing selection of retro toys from your childhood (even if that goes back 50 years ago). Lots of items you might not find elsewhere. First floor is like a museum of toys, except you can actually buy them. Price tags are very clearly presented for everything so you dont have to wonder or worry about asking the staff. However the staff are very helpful, friendly and happy to answer any questions or pull something out of the display for a closer look. Prices seem reasonable for many collectables, not like some places that seem to gouge. Upstairs is the Canadian Toy Museum, so that means even more toys, except these ones you can't buy. It's not all that big, but they pack a LOT into the space. Worth taking a look at, especially for toys from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Admission by donation. Next time I'm in Victoria again, I'll definitely be back.

(More comic shops just kiddie-corner from this shop, plus an 80s/90s arcade nearby, so this is a great area for all things geeky and retro!)

Amazing place. They have a ton of really cool items for very reasonable prices and the staff are super, super friendly. Definitely recommend stopping by to shop or check out the toy museum!

When you first step in the shop, you are warmly greeted by the staff who are happy to help you look for whatever you need. The toy selection is huge. Transformers, G. I. Joe's, my little pony, Star wars, Star Trek, so much more and new stuff coming in everyday. They are also the home the National toy museum of Canada. So if you are ever in Victoria. Come down to the shop and step back time to your childhood.

Best Staff you have to keep going and creepin the stock but that is fun! In addition to having a safe place for the nerds and collectors, they help a number of charities and host the toy fair and comic con.

Amazing shop and online store. Incredible service and a wide selection of vintage toys. If you order online everything is packed with care. Can't say enough good things about Cherry Bomb Toys. BC is lucky to have this incredible, family run, vintage toy store:)

I noticed My Pet Monster sitting in a high up place but found out it's not for sale because it is part of the toy museum. The employee pointed out another smaller My Pet Monster that was for sale, but I wasn't interested in it and left the store at that point due to the employee. During the entire interaction, the employee came across as an immature loudmouth with no manners or professionalism at all. At first, I didn't realize he was even an employee because he was too busy chit chatting with his buddy. Truthfully, I very rarely frequent downtown anymore and haven't been to your store in years, but it seems like your employee standards have dramatically slipped. I also noticed other customers in the store at time asking another employee several questions but he didn't seem to know anything at all. Having staff like this run your store conducting themselves in this manner doesn't project a good image for the store or make someone want to return in the future. This experience has dampened Christmas as I left empty handed but more importantly with a very bad taste in my mouth.

Vintage retro toy Mecca. Must see. It it’s a toy remember, know and love they probably have it. New old stock constantly. Also new local items frequently. Highly recommend.

Pro tip: check out the meticulously curated toy museum upstairs. You won’t be disappointed.

Best toy store in Canada. Genuinely awesome Canadians that I'm really glad to give my business they won't disappoint!
18 March 2021 19:02
A gem in the heart of downtown. If you like to reminisce or collect old school toys, games and figurines, you gotta check this place out! Their toy museum is closed right now, but if you ever get a chance to check it out, it's a must see!
09 January 2021 22:33
Great shop, they were closing for the night and let me in anyways. Covid procedures on par and a great selection. Helpful staff as well.
24 December 2020 14:00
This place is so inviting, friendly, fun, and nostalgic! Helpful staff made our experience happy, and we came away with some wonderful treasures. Thanks, Cherry Bomb crew!

Cherry Bombis a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Victoria. The toy museum, sadly closed due to covid, is absolutely amazing. Everyone should pop in and at least buy a sticker before we lose one of victoria's best hidden gems.

Bought a Hot Toys figure online from them and received the item quickly. The figure sadly was defective with no fault of Cherry Bomb. They promptly helped me work out a replacement from the distributor and were super friendly and awesome to work with.
21 March 2020 22:16
Cherry Bomb Toys, or as I like to collect, the take my money store!

The staff here are super friendly and so knowledgeable that you will learn things you didn’t even know were possible to know about any and all toys that have ever been made. Seriously, challenge them and be amazed!

This is not, I repeat NOT, your average toy store!

Oh! And the toy museum! What a super fun trip down memory lane! Admission by donation makes this an affordable must see!

Be sure to take out a second mortgage before you visit, trust me won’t regret it!

Worlds greatest most amazing most incredible most magical toy store to ever exist in the history of existence!
21 March 2020 19:00
Love this place, it's as local as it gets. They also have A TOY MUSEUM UPSTAIRS! It's by Donation and, oh wow it's like going through memory lane
23 February 2020 21:55
Boxing week special was two for one Lego figures. Thank you! My kids always love that. Great memories with the vintage toys
28 January 2020 21:40
Fantastic experience. Staggering collection. Staff were enthusiastic and friendly. This store provides a good reason to ride Downtown.
26 January 2020 9:27
Cherry Bomb Toys is the bomb, so many great toys and that was only part of the store that I saw. Found what were looking for ans very quick. It's great when the people who run the place arw Fanatics of what they sell. Great service, good pricing, cant even find some of their stuff online which in my mind says alot! Merry Christmas you guys, thanks again!

A very cool store that slaps you with a dose of nostalgia. There’s so much to look at, and the staff were super friendly.
18 November 2019 20:47
I love this store! It has the coolest stuff and an amazing museum! Its a downtown Victoria must see.
12 October 2019 14:52
I've been a fan of this place ever since they had their location on Courtney Street. This store is essentially heaven for nerds. Their selection of collectibles and memorabilia will make you smile as soon as you walk in the front door!
02 October 2019 14:53
It might be nice if you could have websites display when you are closed. Walked over a mile to get there found out it was closed for the day even though the website said otherwise.
23 September 2019 10:05
Happiest place in Victoria! An excellent vintage toy store, with tons of used and new toys. They have large sections dedicated to Star Wars, GI-JOE, My little pony, and much more pop culture icons. Staff working there is super helpful. They also have several bins with cheap random toys. This store shares location with a toy museum. A must-see in this city!
19 September 2019 13:29
Amazing store filled with gems, and the staff is so great! A must do any time we visit Victoria
24 May 2019 13:10
Been here many times and it's just a fantastic place all around. (As are the exceedingly charming and friendly staff!) Great for gifts, or finding old toys you haven't seen since you were a kid to tickle your nostalgia. Also one of the best places in town for nerdy memorabilia. Cherry bomb should be a frequent stop for the kid in all of us!
06 January 2019 19:21
Absolutely the kindest people you’ll ever meet. They are so passionate about what they do, every part of that store is built and run on hard work and love of the hobby. Totally worth checking out if you’re a kid or an adult as the store caters to any and all interests regarding toy collecting. If they don’t have it, they’ll know about it and likely be able to help you track it down. Extremely knowledgeable on all things nerdy, a must visit when you’re out and about downtown! Even if it’s just to check out their awesome and ever changing window display!
06 January 2019 17:13
Great store! Whether it's older nostalgic items or amazing newer products, there always something interesting to see here. Friendly and knowledgeable staff as well. Highly recommended.
13 December 2018 8:47
I honestly love this store. I'm been here multiple times and I'm always amazed. Any Nerd will love this place. I greatly recommended: D
