If you are looking to reminisce about all the old toy stores you went to as a leisure suited youth of the 70s and early 80s, look no further than the Gallery of Vintage Toy Stores, put together by the fine folks at Plaid Stallions. If you thought we had some funky fresh toy emporiums here in New York, get a load of some of these spots in other parts of the country. Star Wars endcaps. Walls of Lego playsets. Full-on daps to Montgomery Wards! Holla!
My personal favorite is a store called Stuffnpuffs, which sounds more like a head shop than a toy store, if you ask me.
And nothing beats this wall of old school Atari, Intellivision and Colecovision at the defunct mall shop The Game Player.
And vintage gamers will totally appreciate this display at Child World as well.
