Toy Exchange - Mt. Airy, Maryland

There seem to be very few vintage toy stores here in the DC area.  Tosche Station is new and I was able to hit that about once a month, usually on a Friday at lunch from work.  Thanks to Toybox, I found out about the Toy Exchange in Mt. Airy, Maryland.

I don't have much chance to visit on weekend due to family commitments so I waited until the right moment at work to scoot out during lunch.

One day, some of my meetings had been canceled so I made the drive. Mind you, it still took an hour there and an hour back and I literally only browsed for 10 minutes. So I definitely need to go back - when we're not under quarantine. So much great stuff and I noticed a lot of larger packaged items behind the counters as I was leaving.

    I really hope this place survives all the shutdowns from this donkey virus.

      No kidding. I wanted to go to Tosche Station today but didn't want to venture out. It's going to be a struggle.

      I was there on Monday. Place was empty. They were mandated that they could remain open, but with a limit of ten people on the premises at any given time.

    You know,for the prices most of these vintage toys go for online ,you would think that there would be a shortage of them.Stores like this speak to the contrary.

      Some things were rather pricey. Others seemed consistent with ebay prices. I know I could drop a few grand in there if I had it. :-)
