Frequently asked on Clark Road

Straight answers for families, collectors, and anyone stopping by Clark Road.

Store & general

Is Cosmic Critter Toys a LEGO store?
No. We are a neighborhood toy shop that happens to carry LEGO. Walk in for plush critters, board games, figures, crafts, and collectibles. LEGO is one part of the mix — not the whole planet. LEGO® is a trademark of the LEGO Group, which does not sponsor, authorize, or endorse this store or website.
Are you the same shop as Reckless Bricks?
No. Cosmic Critter Toys is owned by Jen and Jon Martin in Sarasota. Reckless Bricks is our partner in Tucson. Different city. Different vibe. Same respect for play. Visit recklessbricks.store for their shop — and stay here for ours.
Who owns Cosmic Critter Toys?
Jen and Jon Martin. Cosmic Critter Toys is a local family shop with a dedicated team — not a chain. Read the short story on the About page.
Where are you and what are the hours?
Cosmic Critter Toys, 4047 Clark Rd, Sarasota, FL 34233. Monday–Saturday 11:00 AM–7:00 PM. Sunday 12:00 PM–5:00 PM. Parking is in the plaza lot out front. Maps and pull-in notes live on Find Us.
What kinds of toys do you sell?
Plush, family games, figures, crafts, collectibles, and LEGO. We choose toys that feel good in a kid’s hands — not a single-brand catalog.

Online shop

Can I order online right now?
Not yet. Shopping is in-store first at 4047 Clark Rd. When online checkout opens, the Shop page will show the live catalog.
Can you hold an item for pickup?
Yes — call or write from the Contact page and we will try to hold a floor item for a short window. Holds are first-come and not guaranteed until we confirm.

Birthday parties

Do you host birthday parties?
Yes. Critter Planet parties use a reserved room in the shop with a dedicated Cosmic Critter host, guided games, free play, room for cake, and cleanup. Request a date on the Birthday Parties page.
How far ahead should I book?
Please request at least 7 days ahead. Weekend late-afternoon slots go first. No deposit is taken on the request form; we confirm the date, then send deposit instructions.
Do you provide the cake?
You bring the cake. We handle the room, host, games, and cleanup. Drop the cake at the door, then park in the plaza lot.

Buy, sell & trade

Do you buy or trade LEGO?
Yes — LEGO only. Ask at the counter about selling or trading. We will look at what you brought and tell you honestly what we can do that day. We do not take other toys in trade.
Do I need an appointment to trade?
Walk-ins during store hours are welcome for a first look at LEGO. Large collections may need a callback so we can give them proper time. Start with a hello at the counter or a note on Contact.
