Gosh, I never knew Child World but it looked really fun :)

Here is a K-B from 1987, gosh I loved My local stores in Crestwood & South & West County. I have shared many great memories of them here in My showcases and more to come. My Mom got Me My WWF LJN JYD there. Also 1987 is when they had the Clearance of My Visionaries. Also where I got most of My Willow collection, My SNES, Terminators, My WCW & Cyber-Force figures, some Street Sharks and so much more. Gosh I miss going into the malls and seeing their open way and all of them toys :scbat:

Yes, KB was great. I loved those old puppet commercials.

Indeed they were PB :) Yep, them Puppets were really good too. I forgot to mention about how they had all of the Mad Balls too but I have said My story about them in the past. I regret never wanting them Kenner Silverhawks back in the day but that TRU commercial was so good :)

Not Christmas but another one with puppets from 1991 :)



More later :scbat:

It's crazy how these ads make me nostalgic for something we never had here.

Honestly, I never heard of Reds before either, lol. Looked cool though. Must've been an NYC store.

Toys R Us always had some good ones. I'm going to go to the Hills well a few times because I loved them growing up.
