It was so great back then. Now we have 2/3 of the racks/shelves that are just empty space. The remaining 1/3 is taken up by peg warmers, damaged or swapped toys. The Toy Stores and Toy Companies just say kids aren't buying toys that much anymore. Blow these kids minds wth wall to wall toys and see if that works like it did in the past.

Really teary eyed now.
Damn this brings back some real good memories. Nothing will ever capture the feeling of being a kid in an 80's toy store again. Hell even looking through the old Wishbooks during Christmas time was amazing. I miss the 80's :( |

does anyone know the owner of the "service merch" shot. i got a small file, but he said it was in a binder in the 90's at a sm he worked at and he snagged it. the original is like 8 1/2x11. imagine the detail you would be able to see at that size!
that really should be scanned and shared for the community. when i asked, he wouldn't hook me up. anyone have a connection with him? |

These are bad pictures from an old cell phone I had, but there is a store in Spokane, Washington called White Elephant. I used to beg my parents to take me their as a kid for GI Joes. They are still a good place to find a few Joes and they still have the Flagg, Sky Striker and Hiss tank hung from the ceiling. I will try and get better pictures next time I am in Spokane.

I have a few pics lying around that may be of interest, but I'm not exactly sure where they are at the moment. In the mean time, watch this video starting at the 10 second mark and have your mind blown:
EDIT: I've attached a screen capture
