During Christmas time when Moms or Pops tried to sneak in the house with bags of KB Toys but you used to catch a glimpse of them real quick and pretend you ain't see shyt


Woolworth's had the GOAT ninja turtles action figures, can't tell me shyt



I don't know where yall grew up, but here in Queens we had these little stores that used to sell suitcases, bags, backpacks, umbrellas, etc. and they used to come through with the X-Men action figures, these stores were the MVP of the 90's

We Had Them In The BX Too, I Used To Buy My Wrestling Figures From One, If A Certain Wrestler Sold Out In Toy R Us The Local Spot Had Him, It Was Always Some Old Asians
