Imaginarium is a really fun store that sells tons of vintage toys, collectables, signs, clothing, and antiques. It has a mixture of new production toys and some nice NOS ones too. There is an area that has a sort of voodoo tiki theme to it with rubber wood chips all over the floor. I have been a costume for several years now and the owner is always so nice and works along side the staff! This place probably has the biggest sticker selection in the Old Market! There has got to be something youll like in there, give it a try.

What a fun place! At the entrance, youre going to think its full of toys and games and other awesome and youre correct! Yet it has so much more. My partner bought a beautiful old wide brimmed hat while I stood and watched The Iron Giant on VHS. They had a nice collection of Tom Clark Gnomes!! Plus every other piece of nostalgia you could ask for

I definitely wasnt expecting all the cool stuff here when I walked in. I was just passing by but ended up spending a couple hours wandering around inside. Very neat place for movie or video game fans! Lots of neat retro things too!

Owner was extremely disrespectful and rude to me and my friend. Owner with grey long hair was very sarcastic when asking for her business card. Rudest management I’ve ever come across. I’m a Huge fan of supporting small business but I’ll never spend money here again. Letting all my friends know as well.

One of the best retro/pop culture shops in Omaha. Doesnt matter what your interest is; they have a section for it.

They have so much to look at and buy! My son found a Star Wars action figure he has wanted, but every place online and in-store that we looked was out. They have a ton of vintage items! We are going to check out another location next weekend, they have 3 stores which are owned by different family members, from what an employee said. I found some CDs from the 80s I have wanted. They have have something for everyone, Id say. We went to the The Old Market location, up the street from Spaghetti Works. It was worth the trip!

This place is wild...in a good way. The store is huge and has every toy new or old you can think of. So many collectible items, from posters, action figures, vintage items, gaming, sporting items and every other item you can think of they have it. I was in there for like 1.5 hrs during my visit and found some good items.

The imaginarium is a great spot to find great collectors items. Staff is really nice and always willing to help. You could definitely spend the whole day here and you still wouldnt have seen everything. 10/10 would recommend shopping here especially if you love antiques!

A collectors paradise! Take your time to see the entire place. Hot wheels, star wars, funco pops, are just the tip of the iceberg. Compact disks (Cds), cassettes, and yes vinyl albums, comics, DVDs, toys, sports items, jewelry, I could go on and on.

I could get lost in this store for hours! They have an amazing selection. This is definitely a great place to buy gifts for anyone. They have everything from toys to collectibles, books, games, knick knacks, vintage clothing, shoes and purses, posters, games, vintage toys and many many more random items that everyone would like. They also buy items that people sell, mostly vintage toys and books, etc. The employees are friendly and helpful as well. Located in the heart of the scenic historic old market.

Fun place to walk through and browse, but Im rarely inclined to get anything. I think the vision of my home beginning to look like the inside of this store scares me off of buying much here. Its neat stuff, but where do you put it and why?

The atmosphere is so whimsical. It almost feels like walking through a funhouse. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. It is simply amazing. I would however steer clear if you are claustrophobic because there are lots of tight spaces in the store.

Review №46

This place is always a delight to visit. The collection of antiques and unusual items is always changing and giving you something to look at. Some of the vendors who consign with them have a somewhat overinflated estimation of their items values, but you get that at any sort of shop like this. You might not but some of the overpriced stuff, but its all fun to rummage through and every now and then you find that really cool thing you just need to have.

Amazing store. Literally something for everyone! Deals galore! Employees are very friendly and helpful. Brad who was working was extremely helpful and showed us around to what we were looking for.

Review №57

I love this place because my grandpa used to own this store when it was called Finders Keepers and it still is very reminiscent of the store he used to have. You can find just about anything here in any price range. Youd have to really be trying to walk out of here empty handed. Congrats to the Imaginarium for keeping the spirit of Finders Keepers alive in its old spot.

We bought a $10 Pokemon Mystery Box. The box didnt have one good card in it. They were mostly energy cards, low powered cards and multiples of the same cards. We got took! The kid still loves the store.

This place has a little bit of everything for everyone - from trinkets to collectibles to useful things like knives. You could easily spend hours in here browsing. The only reason I rate it four stars instead of five is because some of the items were unnecessarily overpriced; however, dont be discouraged. There were plenty of items that were appropriately priced. So if youre looking for a unique gift or just looking to go for an adventure on a chilly day this store is a great place to check out.

Review №66

Delightful place. Its been almost 3-4 years now I guess - If I didnt have a weight limit flying back home, I would probably have emptied my wallet and bought half the stuff here. In the end I picked up a lovely vintage Yoshi for almost nothing and it was an excellent present for a Nintendo fan friend.

Review №67

Its a consignment store for people who collect anything. Want a fuzzy hat? They got 50 of them in different types? Remember that old glass set granma had when you were kid? Well her estate dropped it off there. Seriously you can find the most amazing personal treasures in this place.

Review №68

Great selection of products and other cool things to look at. The only downside is it is very tight quarters to move in especially if you have a service dog. Mine ended up knocking a few things over by accident.

Review №69

This is one of those marvelous places that a collector could spend hours in! Swords, jewelry, antiques, a whole section dedicated to the sacred trilogy. I spent an hour browsing and didnt even get to see more than the front section of the main floor. If you want to be reminded how old you really are Im willing to get you can search through and find toys and stuff you had as a child, I certainly did. Theres a decent collection of old comic books priced reasonably which I could spend a half hour perusing. I cant wait to return and see more of their selection that is tucked away on the crowded shelves and maybe Ill make it to one of the other floors before I run out of time again.

I have been coming here since I was younger!!! I love that fact that I have got to share this place with my 3 own teenage daughters and I pray they can do the same when and if they decide to have there own children. The owner of this place has also been there for our family through a lot of things and has always always done us right!!!

Review №83

I went through the store on a quiet, weekday afternoon and still felt a bit trapped anytime I ran into another party of customers; lots of small, narrow sections back to back to back. Seems like a decent spot for toys, video games, and some comics; otherwise, its largely junk. The basement, especially, seemed like it had been neglected from any cleaning or sorting for quite a long time. Numerous model cars were broken in one way or another, the board games and books seemed to have been thrown on the shelf without any care (or staff straightening and sorting them). Upstairs, there are numerous sections of cheap, new items that are in no way antiques or collectible. While there are certainly items of interest for some types of shoppers, the general quality of items is fairly low, and the lack of upkeep in the basement was a turnoff.

I felt like I got lost in there, but not in the good way. I also dont recommend that anyone buy their mystery card packs they made themselves. They could be easily opened and resealed, so anything worth getting from them is already gone.

My wife and I have been going to this place since we started dating over four years ago. Every time were in the Old Market, we always make sure to stop into the Imaginarium to see what cool new things theyve added. The staff are very friendly and professional, and the inventory is outstanding. If you can think of something, you can probably find it here for a great price!
