This was my first toy store. Started there back in the hasbro days. Going to the mall has just not been the same since they closed.

I remember there was KB Toys and then there was a KB Toy Works by me. Did anybody else have a KB Toy Works? I also remember finding Classic Superstars Series one there, I wasn't on any forums or knew what they were at the time, I only knew about wrestlingfigs. I remember walking down the WWE aisle and seeing the whole one side filled with CS one they looked like they were just put out. I couldn't believe it and that HBK from series one is my all time favorite HBK outfit. I remember getting HBK, HHH, and Warrior that day then decided to go back the next day to get Taker and Andre. When I got there they were almost all gone maybe 2 or 3 Andre's and I ended up getting the last Taker. This was all before I could drive so it wasn't easy getting my parents to take me. DAMN I MISS KB TOYS! RIP!

We need to start some kind of petition to get KB Toys back in business

We need to start some kind of petition to get KB Toys back in business Toys R Us actually owns KB Toys intellectual property. They even run an eBay store under the KB Toys name. I doubt they'll ever bring it back to retail though. And even if they did, it wouldn't be the same being owned by TRU.

I get a little ill when I think about how great I had it as a collector 10 years ago. There was a KB in the mall and a Toys R Us right next to it. KB closed, and TRU left town not longer after that. Every time I drive home, I see the stores that have filled their respective places and it's depressing.

Do you guys remember Hills department store? They had good WWF figure stock back in the late 90s also.
They were bought out by Ames who also went out of business. Hills was awesome though back in the day.

Hills was awesome though back in the day. Hills was another favorite of mine. I was always a little bitter towards Ames, when it seemed they put Hills out of business when they could hardly stay open themselves.... they ended up killing two decent department stores in the process.

I remember Hills being great for figures. I remember finding tons of BCAs and WCW Toymakers figures there.
