    Vintage Toy Store Pictures Volume 18






    For this year's last Friday feature, I bring you my favourite of all sections of PlaidStallions another volume of vintage toy store pictures!


    Celebrating the time when we had unique independent retailers dotting our landscape and came up with colourful and and interesting ways of selling us toys.


    Volume 18 is our biggest yet and loaded with shots across the USA dating from the 1970s to the 1990s. Maybe even your favourite childhood toy haunt is included in this mix!


    Notable sites include Kenner Six Million Dollar Man, Barbie, Hot Wheels, Mego 2 XL, Muppets, Fisher Price Little People, Electronic Games, Atari Consoles, Kenner Star Wars, Gabriel Lone Ranger and much, much more.



    "Take my advice kids, keep one of these in the box!"

      Omigod...Can I go back just for a day?! That gives me time to find a place to hide while I'm there. You know the one big difference in toy isles from the 70's that stands out today? Stores mostly shelved their product. Sure there were hanging items but allot of the boy toys were big boxed goods. So much fun to revisit.

          Playland & FAO Atlanta! Those were some of my childhood toy stores - though I can't think of a thing that I own or owned that came from FAO, as their prices were always waaaaaay more. Nostalgically wonderful to see that store front again.
