When I was a kid, born in 84, by the time I was asking for particular toys and games I had myriad of places to go. Toys r us, children's palace, kaybees, Walmart, kmart, sears and other smaller toy shops and video game stores. Were there places like this in Britain? I've seen ASDA and other grocery stores mayb carried toys? What was the stock like? As plentiful as here in the US?

Thanks for all responces. I guess now though I'm curious what toys you had both maybe Britain only but also that I'd have had access to here. like the heavy hitters GI Joe/action force transformers batman X-Men spiderman power rangers biker mice he man super powers dino riders and any line based on a cartoon or movie.
