Caledon’s Nobletoyz has a little something for everyone in their downtown store


Written By JASEN OBERMEYER

Nobletoyz, is the only dedicated toy store in Caledon, and provides something for everyone, whether you're a kid at heart or age.

Located at 15 Healey Road, founder and owner Derrick Noble opened it in September 2016, the business is the result of his desire to open his own toy store.

“It was something I've always done,” he said, adding he knew there was always a market in Bolton. “I've bought and sold toys for about 15 years, it was always a side gig though.”

The store carries a variety of kids toys, from current ones like LOL dolls, Pop figures, and Slime, to collectibles like lego compatible mini figures, action figures, Pokemon, miniature Frogger and Pac-Man, vintage and newer video games.

“I love vintage stuff,” said Mr. Noble. “I like the feel and vibe of this place.”
They even sell comics, costumes, graphic novels, and signs, which he said he is alway looking to trying new things. “We have a lot of comic buyers that come here.”

Mr. Noble said he loves vintage toys, the ones that have the nostalgic feel that take him back to his childhood. “I like that the fact they bring toys now or collectibles that have a vintage feel to it.”

Growing up, he said his favorite toys were Star Wars, and that popularity continues as Star Wars figures are “in and out so quick,” in his store.

Mr. Noble explained that he continuously preaches getting kids off phones, tablets, and devices, bringing in toys that are hands on and spark creativity, like OffBits, science kits, magic sets, and slime. “I'm looking for more, I have other ideas.”

He added that customers who come in wants those toys that take them back to a simpler time. “I find that it's not just the kids, it's the adults that are actually collectors now, and they pass it on to their kids.”

Mr. Noble said he even has customers who are whole families that collect, and tries to have something for all of them. “I think we reach a lot of markets with this place.”
