KB Toys and KB TOYZ are 2 different things but I still marked out hearing that lol. Awesome stuff. Good memories of going to KB at 10 am on Thursdays looking for 1 of 500 Jakks figures. I was always cool with the workers and they'd show me the store delivery sheet so I knew whether to go or not. Amazing memories

I used to work at KB Toys in Illinois...then I got laid off because they went bankrupt and went out of business....so this must be a knock off.
Where in Illinois does such a store exist out of curiosity?

That was my first job in High school and when I went to college. Always told my boss he could pay me in figures.

KB Toys FTW! lol I remember going there for Titan Tron Live, WCW Power Slam, and Ruthless Agression! I'll never forget the day I found Mike Awesome and Scott Steiner figs, I was losing my sh*t lol. Ahh the good old days Wish I was a kid again.

Where in Illinois does such a store exist out of curiosity? Check my post on page 2. It's B toyz zone. They are at North Riverside Mall and Ford City Mall in illinois.

K & B Toyz not KB Toys? Probably a local dealer/store front trying to play off the old name. Yup. KB (aka "Kay Bee") Toys shut down in 2008. "K&B Toyz" would be someone ripping off the name. Also, KB Toys' mascot in the '80s and '90s was a toy soldier, never a jack in the box.

Seriously ?? Why dosent TRU build convienent little KBs all over the country. That makes no sence. There is litterally no other small sized toy store around anymore. They could easily build KBs in malls and shopping centers and outlets. What a damn shame.
