I'll add Kuester's Hardware also from Evansville. Emergency Ian knows the place too and probably shopped the same times I did, he grew up a few miles from me. They had a decent sized selection of Mego and later added a counter in the back next to lawn care for Atari games and cartridges and maybe Intellivision?I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.
If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.Comment

Either Kmart 1978 or Kay Bee Toys 1985.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

This ones a no brainer for me
TOY TOWN-Towson, Maryland 1978,79,80 This place was heaven for me as a kid. place was huge the size of a supermarket and they had EVERYTHING! It closed in the early 80's and I think was bought out by Kiddie City. I still have many toys I got from there as a kid. I miss it like I miss a lost relative..
2ND. TOYS R US-Towson, Maryland 82,83,84, Back when this store was king and had everything as well. Its still there but its a babies r us and looks NOTHING like it did back when I was a kid. I went inside for nostalgia sake and it broke my heart.
3rd. (Do I get a third?) WOOLWORTHS-Perry Hall, Maryland 1977-84 (when they closed) The basement there had some of the best toys and their candy section was a mile long it seemed like and I found lots of baseball, football, movie, and tv cards there. If it wasn't from our Ice Cream Man it was there I went.Comment

Ben Franklin's here in Cynthiana, KY, without a doubt. And I'd set the time machine to sometime in late September or early October, so I could partake of all the Halloween goodies upstairs, before venturing downstairs into Toyland to see all the Megos, Remco stuff, View Master reels, Colorforms, Ride-ons...you name 'em, they had them!
Then I'd hop across town to Howard's, and pick up some other stuff!!!

Rosbergs, a long gone department store in downtown Niagara Falls, Ontario. They had a hell of a toy department, I bought most of my Megos there, they always had a great selection of them. I have fond memories of visiting the store with my grandmother, I'd love to just walk through the place again even if I couldn't buy anything to bring back to the present.Comment

Yeah, Hills did have great end-caps.
I'd like to revisit Woolsey's Toy Store and Children's Palace.
