If you could revisit one store from the past...

[Iron Mego]

Arthur's Toys. Fresno, CA. The place was huge and awesome and I miss it terribly.

[Random Axe]

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?

[Werewolf]

Either Kmart 1978 or Kay Bee Toys 1985.

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.

[Earth 2 Chris]

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!!!

Lionel Kidde city my Aunt used to take me there every birthday one year I found the Marx Undersea set that was a great present.They had just about everything there.

[hedrap]

So did Lionel have a direct pipeline to Mego since they were a Jersey based company?

[cjefferys]

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.

[Mego Superboy Prime]

Great thread!

[Remco Monster]

Woolco

Or a little dime store called Ben Franklin, that had all the rad toys.

[Mego MkIV]

Hills for sure the end caps in that toy section were awesome.Murphy's was another old favorite.

I don't know but the certainly had a great selection of Megos,I got my 12 inch Captain America there.

[EmergencyIan]

Yeah, Hills did have great end-caps.

I'd like to revisit Woolsey's Toy Store and Children's Palace.

[Goblin19]

Children's Palace, late 70s. For profit and nostalgia. That store has more memories gor me. Next up would be Woolworths in downtown or the one Uncle Bill's I went to that had almost every WGSH.

[HumanWolfman]

Kmart or Jamesway
