Strolling down the toy aisles of Target/Meijer/etc. I get nothing but a feeble assortment of 'action figures'. I know it has been that way for a long time now, but I really miss that period of yesteryear where EVERY PLACE was selling action figures, not just hobby shops, but department stores, hardware stores, at shopping malls, and places like Toys R Us- Children's Palace, etc.
But really hits me the hardest is the recent demise of TRU. Lots of happy memories there. Especially concerning this time of year. Even as an adult, while there wasn't anything that would no longer appeal to me, I loved strolling down the toy aisles and browsing at all the stuff.
I doubt if there will ever be a resurgence of such places..
