Back to the Future on Pontiac ave has a lot of good stuff. Records, comic books, video games, action figures. The Time Capsule in Cranston RI also has some decent stuff. Check out Free Play right down town for playing Pinball and the like. There's a cover charge but once you're in all the games are free

Not really vintage or anything, but the Providence Place mall does have an entire LEGO store.

For your music needs check out Armageddon Shop (record store) on Broadway. Armageddon will more than fulfill your punk/industrial needs. For pinball you can go to Pizza J - they have a rotating selection of machines you can play while enjoying a drink and a slice. Downtown there’s an arcade bar called Freeplay that should have some pinball as well as a load of coin op video game machines. In terms vintage toys you might want to check out Make Believe RI - I only know them as an Instagram account where they post what they have for sale - I’m not sure if they currently have a physical space to browse. Here’s their eBay - https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?sid=pickupmyglasseye. Their insta handle is @makebelieveri - you can always DM to see if they have a spot you can check out.

Pop by the Big Top Flea Market during the weekend. They have one toy vendor in particular with some great stuff like that.

Go to the RI Antique Mall! I’ve had some good SW finds there and have seen Lego as well!

If I remember correctly there are also a few punk/noise shows happening at Red Ink Library on Camp St this month.

If it’s SW and other vintage comics you want you MUST stop into Rah Coco’s on Academy Ave in Providence. Used to be near State House it is now in Mt Pleasant neighborhood off Academy.

You might only be looking for things specifically in Providence, but if you’ve got a car you should def check out Time Capsule in Cranston! TONS of vintage collectibles there.
