LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Tucked away on rue du Grand Prieuré in the 11th arrondissement, Lulu Berlu caters to serious collectors rather than casual Sunday browsers. The shop boasts nearly 40,000 references: collectible figurines, childhood toys, die-cast models, mechanical toys and vintage objects spanning the 1950s through the Y2K era. You'll find rare brands like Timpo Toys and Hard-to-source Hot Wheels series unavailable elsewhere. The atmosphere is dense, somewhat oppressive, and the no-photography rule is enforced without exception — best to know this before you enter.
On pricing, several customers report rates running 30 to 40 percent above the national average, which may deter casual buyers. But for those hunting a specific piece they've sought for years, the depth of stock justifies the trip. This is not a shop for browsing: it's a collector's warehouse, with all the seriousness and austerity that entails.
« Boutique fantastique ! C'est le seul endroit où j'ai trouvé la figurine Conan de style Figures Toy Co/Mego que je recherchais tant pour ma collection. L'expérience d'achat en ligne était vraiment facile, la livraison a été ultra rapide et j'ai pu suivre mon colis régulièrement. J'ai hâte de retourner dans cette véritable caverne d'Ali Baba cet été ! Merci ! :) »
