Had to click on that to get the date. Would've guessed it was the 70s but it says 1981. That sure was something.

How about that great Children's Palace, they had Inhumanoids :shock: The only place back in My area that I recall that had them was Woolworth hence My showcase a while back and funny that I posted Woolworth yesterday...oh yes, I saw the year. I look at years on just about everything just like I do with Copyrights, I've been like that since I was little. Sometimes the years on these videos are incorrect, sometimes i know and sometimes I don't. Here's this Woolworth Christmas from 1982 :scbat: :scww: :scsm: :schal: :scmm: :scbaf: :scaq:

Speak and Spell. I used to play with that a lot, probably around that time, too.

Oh yes, Me too. My Mom got it for Me...I found the Box a while ago but darn it I misplaced the actual toy, it really pains Me about that :roll: Hopefully I'll find it one day :) That was a great Towers Records commercial that featured Dokken, We had one in Crestwood till the whole mall was tore down :roll: I gotta see if I can find Peaches/Sound Warehouse that Blockbuster Video took over that I showcased a while back. They were Tower Records' competition back in the day. Here's this Woolworth Christmas Commercial from 1984, 40 years ago this...it features Vinyl Records, VHS, Cassette Tapes & more :scbat: :scww: :scsm: :scmm: :schal: :scbaf: :scaq:

I had those A-Team figures. Never knew Woolworth's was so big in the UK.

That was a great McDonald's Christmas Commercial there with the VHS Tape. Yes, they were big there...when Woolworth went out of business in the States, they thrived there. Here's this Woolworth that is more American from 1985 :scbat: :scww: :scsm: :scmm: :schal: :scbaf: :scaq:
