Woolco's Toy Land

Woolco’s Toy Land

July 17, 2006 By Mantooth In Uncategorized No Comments

When I was last researching at the library, I came across this cool old newspaper circular for Woolco Catalog stores. Which I don’t even remember existing and according to this flier there was one a block from where i was BORN!

You don’t see cool ads like this anymore. I had all of the Star Wars toys in this flier, I really kind of said “goodbye” to my Mego Superheroes by this point. I even remember my mom saying “whatever happened to Superman and Batman?”

Oddly enough, I have no nostalgia for Star Wars either these days. Somehow I think George Lucas will survive…….
