I absolutely loved "TOYLAND" in Lloyd Center. We made a movie there when we were in college.

The original Vic's Hobbies in Hollywood was also a very cool place.

I spent an insane amount of money as a kid there buying HO scale model railroad stuff. They had a fantastic selection. What a great store that was.

Remember the rotating case with gags and elements of trickery? Scored big with onion gum, faking out many kids up on N.E. 28th. Bought my first hand buzzer, disappearing ink and fake poop out of that case. Forty five years later, I might still be shopping there. Great memories.
