I don't know why this didn't catch my eye back then, but I thought you'd appreciate this. I've actually mentioned this in a few places. We talked about when I took my kids to try out different Power Wheels. And then we talked about old movies theatres and I mentioned the Aurora Theatre near me. And then we talked about the Lonesome Ghost artoon again and I looked at your older post and saw this...
I don't know how I missed that or glossed over it before, but that's the town. I've actually been to the Fisher-Price store a lot when my kids were younger, and many of their toys are made right there. It's literally like ten minutes from my house. It's the kind of small-town locale you'd probably love with a Main Street with all the little shops and then just housing. Smalltown, USA, really.
There's a couple really nice playgorunds in that area I'd often take the kids to. I'm a bit of a playground connoisseur in that regard as I'd drive all over the area so the kids could experience different playgrounds. I miss the old woodern ones from the 90s, but all the ones in the area were torn down and replaced. Some of them are ok, many are kind of blah. Anyway, one in East Aurora was actually built by Fisher-Price.
And of course, here's the Fisher-Price store and headquarters on Girard.
They used to have a decent DCUC selection back in the day since Fisher-price and Mattel are connected. And WWE figures. But mostly when we went it was to look around. They also have a selection of loose Little People and other figures that my kids would often pick one out when they were younger. It's been a few years now since I've been there as my kids are out of that age range now sadly.
