Where do you find GI Joes? Or, where did you used to find them? I was just remembering all the places I bought toys at. I remember a Zayres in Chicago and Lionel Playworld in Miami.
Did anyone outside of Florida have Lionel Playworld? I remember going almost every Saturday with my dad to Toys R Us and Playworld. I still remember the theme song: "When you're searching for something for your little girls or boys, and you're finding high prices but not finding toys, and you're sad and you're blue and you're tired of running 'round . . . Let Lionel Playworld turn that frown upside down." Man, I can still hear that song with the Kangaroo and kid mascots. Oooh, I love youtube: Enjoy this commercial and freeze it at the 13 second mark . . . Enjoy.

ROTFL!!! that would be a bad ass commercial... that's how I would wanna see Lionel's come back.. kiciing a$$ and taking names! BTW, my child hood store was TG&Y which I've seen mentioned on this site before... they always had the hook ups.

Not much other than TRU & KB. Years ago when I was a kid, my parents got me Zartan from a Children's Palace, & I got my first GI Joe ever(Zap) from a Kresge. Not sure if they were local or not.

Pamida, White mart, Pay-n-save (where I got my first Spirit), Sears, Toys R Us, Children's Palace (next door to TRU and way cheaper...saw the FLAGG for $80 but mom wasn't fallin for it), K B toys, Rolseth Drug, Setterholms foods, CARRS quality center in Alaska, and various gas stations and mom and pop stores. And thats just what I remember. It would've been heaven if I had money back then. What happened? Why must Hasbro toy with us (no pun intended) like this. Back when Joes were in abundance like oxygen, we were kids and didn't have the money to get everything and now that were older and have some cash, the joes are hardly anywhere to be found. It's a cruel game they play.
