As I’m sure you’re aware, KB Toys is going out of business [1].
Kind of hits a soft spot with yours truly, who used to constantly go to the store at The Gallery when I was a kid [2].
Went in there yesterday. What’s left of the store is 50% off.
There is, however, a whole shelf of Indiana Jones and Star Wars toys.
Check it out and get a piece of history, while you can.
Another piece of my childhood – like Woolworth [3] and Roy Rogers [4] – down the drain. ;-(
