    I went to Columbus to see twenty one pilots in concert so naturally, I had to go to Big Fun. I’m so glad I did, it is such a cool shop and everyone there is so incredibly friendly. They gave me a pen dispenser with my purchase and were talking about the music video that twenty one pilots had shot there. You guys rock, thank you for having such a cool place and being so awesome.

    I am always attracted by the lovely toys behind the windows every time I walked by. There are hundreds of toys from various IPs. Even though I am too old to ask parents for toys, this shop always makes me feel delighted and alive.

    Amazing store, thousands of brands and collectibles. Client service is very friendly too. Top notch store!

    I was so impressed by everything at this store! Not your typical toy store, but not what you would expect from a collector’s shop either, this falls somewhere right in between. There was a diverse mix of vintage/nostalgic items as well as newer/pop-culture stuff. It would take all day to be able to see everything this store offers! As several other reviews have mentioned, the band twenty one pilots (originally from Columbus) shot a music video at here at Big Fun. My wife and I stopped in Columbus while on a road trip specifically to come to this store. We tried to be discreet about the fact that we are tøp fans, however when the workers noticed, they subtly started playing the pilots music. This was so special and meaningful to my wife and me that it brought tears to my eyes. The store also still sells Trash the Dragon replica figurines and the shirt Josh wore in the video. All of this is 2 years after the video was released. We are both so thankful and so impressed by the kindness and thoughtfulness of the store and employees. Thank you Big Fun for welcoming tøp fans and selling memorabilia after all this time. And most of all, thank you for being you.

    Big Fun is such a unique store! We always make sure to stop in here when in the Columbus area. Fantastic selection of Star Wars, GI Joe, He-Man, TMNT, Power Rangers, Funko Pops, LEGO, and all things in between. Items are fairly priced, and the staff are always super helpful and friendly. Adults and kids of all ages will love this place! My family and I always have loads of FUN at Big Fun!

    Love it. The staff is great. So friendly and attentive, which is impressive given that so many of us twenty one pilots fans were lining up outside during the concert weekend. If you love older toys, this is the place to go! You can tell they really pay attention to what they are buying and putting out. I wanted to go because it looked awesome and because I am a fan of the band (they filmed a music video at the store), but I ended up needing to limit myself so I wouldn't buy too much! Prices are insanely reasonable. Definitely check it out if you can. P.S. love the owners car parked out front with all the toys on top. It was so fun looking at everything on it. If you're lining up outside though: stay to the side! And don't block other storefronts! They will not hesitate to tell you as many times as needed.

    I adore this place. If you are in the mood for nostalgia, this place has. It matters not what decade, they have it. Top to bottom, quite literally 🤣I look forward to the days I make the time to go in. Thank you for always having such a friendly, welcoming, attentive and helpful staff. Seen this oddity parked out front one day (photos attached). What will you see when you visit?

    This store is amazing!!! Stopped here on the 4th of July to check it out on the way to the Columbus Zoo because my youngest son is a huge Twenty One Pilots fan and they recently shot a music video for one of their songs here. They have a massive selection of almost any kind of toy/collectible that you can think of. Some stuff seems a little pricey, but I am not a collector so I won't pretend to know what the typical price range is. They had a lot of very reasonably priced toys as well. I am a huge Star Wars fan and I could've spent all day just looking at the wall of figures and other items they had there. Going back to the music video, after speaking to an employee, it was very obvious that they had a lot of people visit because of that. They were so friendly in regards to our questions, even though I know they had been asked the same questions hundreds of times. Just in case you are wondering, if you are wondering, then you know what I am talking about, they do not have any Trash the dragon figures from the music video. I was going to purchase one for my son if they did! Also, the dog from the video isn't there, lol. A great experience nonetheless, I will definitely return here some day, it's a 5 1/2 hour drive for me, so it may be a bit though! I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area and enjoy toys and collectibles.

    Since we've found the place 2 months ago we have been 4 times now. You can go 50 times and still not see everything. There is a little something for everyone. We personally go for the diecast cars like hot wheels, johnny lightning, matchbox,etc. However, we always end up leaving with a few other random stuff such as action figures or dinosaur figures, etc. The staff are pleasant and helpful. We look forward to out next visit.

    Huge Twenty One Pilots fan and it was great being able to walk in here. The selection of stuff is massive and overwhelming but in a good way. All the workers are nice and they sell Josh Dunn shirts there which was an amazing pickup!

    Such a cool little place, with a lot of awesome items. Many toys there that bring back so many childhood memories, loved it. Everyone there was friendly, too. My son bought a cool Lego ('89) batmobile set & some other things. I got some NKOTB cards for a friend.

    It has some really cool stuff (Pop's, figurines, etc), but it's a smaller store, so it's kind of hard to move around.

    We LOVE Big Fun! It's the best little toy store EVER!! They have all the coolest vintage & new collectible action figures & toys. So much to see! If you're looking for a gift for someone that collects Star Wars, GI Joe, WWF, Lego, Barbie etc this is the place to go! A MUST see if you're in the Short North.

    One of my very favorite places on earth!!!!! Big Fun brings my family and I so much joy. I swear my kids mention it by name at least once a week. The selection is great and the owners and staff are amazing! Feel super lucky that this place exists AND it's in our city! 5 full stars and 2 thumbs up every time.

  • 5/5 ENDTHEINFINITE 1 year ago on Google
    I'll give this amazing store 5 stars even though it's ad cramped as a toy closet. But that is the unique part of it all, it is. From all generations, they have the toy or related item for you. At reasonable prices and knowledgeable staff. You are left content whether you find what you're looking for or not.

    I can’t say enough good things about this place. I think their prices are on point and in spite of the tiny shop they have made my family feel welcome each time we have come to visit. With two boys and a spouse in a wheelchair, a small shop filled with collectible merchandise can be really stressful. But the employee helped my boys get things out of the Lego cabinet as well as helped keep other customers out of the way while he navigated his wheelchair around the shop. Thank you for all the help and the awesome deals. The Lego mech we got at a very reasonable price.

    So many cools toys to look at from my childhood in the 80s. It definitely brought back great memories. They buy certain toys and other items as well. Definitely recommend this place to purchase roys from your childhood..70s to the 2000s...I'm pretty sure. It's not a huge store and can get a little cramped so I suggest going when they aren't so busy.

    If you enjoy toys (old and new) then you are guaranteed to have fun at Big Fun! Jason and the other employees are incredibly kind, helpful and respectful towards the store’s visitors. You won’t find a better toy store in Columbus, Ohio!

    I live an hour south of this place, so I dont get up to often. But love this store...staff are super friendly, and there is a great selection of stuff. Never disappointed in making a trip up.

    My dad left a collection of over a thousand unopened Hot Wheel cars from the 90s and we're trying to find a buyer, even have all the die-cast monster jam set of Hot wheels monster jam. All packaged separate.
