You filled out a ticket with the catalog number, paid for the item, and picked it up off of a rolling conveyor straight from the warehouse. They were very popular during the 60s and 70s, but finally closed down around 1988 after years of poor sales. I spent many a day in the Kansas City Dolgin's stores eyeing the toy and electronics departments as a kid.

No exceptions.

This is making me nostalgic for going Christmas shopping in downtown Winnipeg with my Mom and Grandma. Specifically, Christmas shopping at the big Eaton’s store downtown.

NOW, it’s the MTS Centre.

Also sweet news about the trading cards, I just received a couple of the Mego Museum ones, my first, which I'm assuming you did and they are all sorts of crazy awesome.

I think the couple to the left of Cool Dad snapped their hair on too.
