These things go in cycles. When I was a kid if you wanted a toy you went to the toy section of a department store. The department stores spent decades contracting as specialty stores boomed. And now the specialty stores are shrinking in favor of the big box stores. It's likely the specialty stores are being crushed by online retailers. Their raison d'être was always having more inventory depth than general retail, e.g. the shoe store has a much better selection than the shoe department at Sears. But if you're after selection, you can't do better than your browser.
