Description
In this episode of the Weekly Warp Pipe Podcast, we take a trip back to the toy stores we grew up in and wish were still around.
We’re talking about:
- Toys R Us
- Kay-Bee Toys
- Child World
- Service Merchandise
- Sears
From aisle memories to demo kiosks and holiday catalogs, we break down what made these stores magical in the 80s and 90s.
We also premiere a brand new segment: Back Issue Breakdown, where we flip through Nintendo Power Volume 4 (1989) and relive what gaming hype looked like back then.
Dave tries to stump us in Name That Quote with 90s movie lines, and Keith wraps up the show with Pop Quiz Hot Shot — this time all about the classic film The Goonies.
If you grew up circling toys in Christmas catalogs, this one’s for you.
