So a Tanker had told me about an old toy store called Lionel Kiddie City. I went on youtube to see if their was any commercials about them. I found this one Christmas commercial. It was freaking awesome. The kids drag their grandma to the store and are running around the aisles, the boy is stadning in front of this WALL of MOC Joes. The Kiddie City mascot jumps up and throws a Joe figure down to him.
Has anyone seen this commercial? Which Joes can you see? I can only see Crazy Legs and I think Falcon. The rest are very blurry. That is such a cool sight to see a wall full of MOC vintage Joes. |

A link to that particular video would be helpful, perhaps someone could rip a few frames from it.

I remember that commercial. Man, the day when we had actual toy stores instead of a couple aisles in a miniature city.

Yo 82joe! I used to buy most of my joes from the Kiddie City in White Flint Shopping center. Damn I miss that place. What a great store.

Downtown Annapolis on West Street (it's a car dealership now, I think)...
That place was awesome. They never rotated stock properly, so you could always find rare old finds just randomly on pegs.. Would be an Ebay scalper's dream. Got the kaputz literally a few months after Toys R Us opened, which had a much bigger parking lot and easier locale, across from the Annapolis Mall. RIP, Kiddie City.. It did sorta sound like a pedophile store.

Ours was called Lionel Toy Playworld. The best thing was that the store actually looked like it did in the commercial. The pegs and isles were always stoked to the max.
