How many people remember this store from their childhood? I remember getting a lot of WWF Hasbro figures from them even if they was a little high and Genesis games real cheap. At the end before they shut down it was sad.

There was one at my local mall. I got some Ghostbusters toys and Atari games there from time to time.

I miss it, it was a good way to find weird shit. Where else would you find a "Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog" figure like years after the fact?

It used to be one if my favorite spots when I was out toy hunting. They always had something random.

The 3 for $10 bin helped me fill out a decent action figure collection.
Usually had a pretty good variety of stuff as well and very few times did I ever go in there and they didn't have what I was looking for. I couldn't say the same for Wal-Mart, and K-Mart's selection was by far the worst.

There was one in my local mall. It was a pretty cool store. Sometimes they had the Dune theme blasting in there for some reason. Haha.

There used to be a KB clearance center at an outlet mall not far from where I went to college. I'd go there 2 or 3 times a month to check out the deals. I amassed quite a collection from there.

Rarely bought anything there, prices were too high. Toys R Us was our go-to. And Child World, before it closed.

They always seemed to have the wrestling figures I couldn't find anywhere else.

They didn't have one in my area until the 90s, so I was a Tous'R'Us kid-I did buy some cool WCW figures and some McFarlane figures, like the McKenzie brothers. That's when I noticed s generation gap when the girl at the counter had no idea who they were

That was THE toy store in my area. Great selection of toys. I used to go there for my Star Trek and later Star Wars micro machine fix.

My main memory of KB Toys is going to the one that used to be in Mall of America in the 90s. Seemed silly but it was a pretty fun experience.

When I was a kid, Northwest Plaza had a small KB Toy store that usually had the figure or plush I wanted more often than the larger Toys 'R Us on the same lot.
It was an incredible mall in general, but that's a story for another thread.

Had one in our local mall that I frequented a lot. Also had a Kiddie City in town that I would always burn my allowance in.

They had a Ted Arcidi figure there and for some reasons I really wanted that figure. I never got it.

I remember being stoked to go there every time we went to the mall, and i also remember playing the demo to Crash Bandicoot 2 there.

They're pretty much where all my Beast Wars and Silver Surfer action figures came from.

Rarely bought anything there, prices were too high. Toys R Us was our go-to. And Child World, before it closed. I vaguely remember Child World. My parents got my barbie car there, after I had shunt surgery. I likes KB Toys, I did a lot of birthday/Christmas shopping there. I like Toys R Us, too, but I miss going to the KB at the mall  |
