Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Question for the those that grew up in the 80's!!!!

Oh man, I can't believe no one has listed Zayre's yet. In my neighborhood, Zayre's was the place to go for all your shopping needs and they had a mondo huge toy section. It's where a large number of my Star Wars and Transformers toys as a kid came from. I can still recall the layout of the toy section too, in fact on those rare occassions I have dreams involving buying toys, it's Zayre's toy section I'm always in, weird eh?
Other stores where my toys were bought in the 80's include of course TRU, Walgreens, Venture, as well as an old school independently owned department store called Charles where all the action figures were behind a locked glass case, and a mom and pop toy store called Cut Rate. Ahh the memories I have of these stores, an entire aisle at Walgreens filled to the brim with GI Joes back in 82 and 83, front entrance displays for the new ROTJ line at TRU, missing out on the TIE Interceptor at Cut Rate cause I wanted some damn Starcom toys. Those were the days.....
