Max and Quinn’s Atomic Boys Shop-O-Rama

Kent was extremely helpful! I needed to place an order for a large number of latex balloons and he responded my email within minutes and then let me schedule the order via email! I will definitley be using Atomic Boys Shop-​O-​Rama for all my future party needs! Thanks Kent!

My husband and I are in love with this store. It is a trip down memory lane. Great quality toys in a world where everything seems to be disposable. The prices are fair, they have a great selection of cards, and they also have most of your favorite throw back candy. The owners are kind and extremely helpful. We heart you Atomic Boys, you will also be our first stop.

After reading the reviews of this place I expected so much more. On top of this place being the size of my living room, it really wasn’t as much collectable stuff as it was a collection of nostalgic items. If you take a lunch box from Target for $ 8 and put a $ 19.99 sticker on it, you are not a vintage store, but a reseller. I would say less than 25% of the store was true vintage and or collectable items, the rest were items you could find for less in a variety of local stores if you chose. The candy selection was also limited, again, I was unsure if it would be a true candy counter, but between a Bartell’s and Walgreen’s you could get 90% of the candy found here.
Might sound like I’m throwing stones, but maybe I’m just old enough and traveled enough to say I’ve seen much better in many places. Now if someone had a large home theater and this was the décor, if would be one of the hippest places on the planet, but for a storefront, I found it to be small potatoes and judging from the neighborhood, the rent ain’t cheap hence the inflated price on items. I saw two items I really liked while I was there, refused to pay the price and got both of them for 40% off with no tax and free shipping on eBay. I know it’s hard to compete with eBay, but if you can save that much and have someone pay $ 4-​$ 5 dollars to ship it too you, you have to question the mark up in store. Yup, I’ll have to wait a week for it to show up verses walking out of the store with it, but there is reasonable and unreasonable and I just couldn’t justify the in store costs.
Check these guys out, see what you think, I’m all about supporting the little and local guy, but not of those prices.

Max and Quinn’s Atomic Boys Shop-​O-​Rama was a really fun visit! They have a little bit of everything. They have balloons, toys, cards, local art for sale and so much more! I bought a print made by a local artist where various Star Wars characters are depicted in religious settings. I got one with a Tusken Raider being a mother figure over a small Jawa.
As you may have guessed some merchandise may not be for all tastes but this store is fun and unique and well worth a peek!

Oh, the nostalgia! The old school soda vending machine, bazooka bubble gum and all the candies that I haven’t seen in forever… are at Max and Quinn’s. It was so cool walking in to this place and seeing things I remember as a kid, and also, I love Kid Robot on the shelves. This is a great place to find a unique gift, and all the little candies are great to fill pinatas! The owner is super friendly, too.

We just love this fabulous toy /​candy store. They have a lot of old fashioned toys and candy, and the owner is the nicest guy in the world. It’s also a great place to buy gifts for a kid’s birthday party. It’s so important to support our local businesses, and this is one not to miss. Whether you are old or young, there’s something for everyone here!

You need balloons? Look nowhere else! Affordable prices and Kent (I think the owner) is ultra nice!

You’ll be hard pressed to find stores in the Seattle area that encourage fun more than Atomic Boys does. The array of colors and whimsy that hits you the second you walk into the shop hasn’t been seen since the dawning of another local fun-​loving favorite, the world famous Archie McPhee’s.
Atomic Boys looks small from the outside, but big things come in small packages– much like the candy, toys, and other goodies you can find in the shop! There’s something fun for every age here. I envy the kids who live nearby– this is a shop that they’ll grow up with, and I have no doubt that they’ll cherish the memories made riding their bikes there with their allowances burning holes in their pockets. We should all be so lucky to have an Atomic Boys to imprint sweet, sugary, plasticine memories onto our hearts.
It’s also a must stop if you’re planning a party or need to send out a cool card in the snail mail (Hallmark cards are a snoozefest, anyway). And, for you art toy collectors out there, you might be surprised to know that Atomic Boys boasts its own fledgling collection of trendy plastic figurines. (My personal favorites are the Tokidoki toys.)
Additionally, owner and unofficial Mayor of Coolsville himself, Mr. Kent Sadow, gets extra points for playing mostly KEXP radio and indie bands. You owe it to yourself to swing by, pick up a Squirrel Nut Zipper or two (or three), and have a laid back conversation with Mr. Sadow. He’s a gem, and has made a fantastic contribution to the West Seattle community with Atomic Boys.

Great place to find unique birthday gifts. They have party supplies and balloons. Nice family run business.

If you’re looking for some type of old-​time candy you haven’t seen since the 1970s, Max and Quinn’s is a great place to go. Despite the fact that I’m not nearly old enough to remember (let along have ever tried) most of the speciality candies they carry, I had a great time looking through the shelves and choosing things that sounded interesting.
The owners were extremely talkative and knowledgeable, and happily answered all of my questions like they were candy experts, even offering history and interesting tidbits when I asked what something was exactly. Excellent customer service in a laid back atmosphere.
The toy selection consists of a mix of old-​fashioned (I belive mostly reproduction) tin toys, newer products produced in a 1960s style, and a good selection of Accoutrements novelties. In addition to toys and candy the shop offers an extensive collection of cards and some party supplies, but I didn’t really get around to checking out that part of the store.
Whether you’re an adult looking to relive your childhood or someone younger looking for interesting candy and toys, Max and Quinn’s Atomic Boys Shop-​O-​Rama is worth checking out.

I’d been wondering what this new store in Admiral Junction was about. Turns out it’s about cards, party favors, and gifts with a retro/​robot theme. Tin toys, old games, bubblegum cigars, candy cigarettes, party poppers… plus balloons, cards, and streamers. A fun little store, not really for kids but for adults with a certain level of nostalgia for their childhood (or for their parents’ childhood).
