| 2096 | Article | pikachulover | After a while I got better at finding the better quality toys. Sometimes they would have name brand toys. My mom would buy me male dollar store fashion dolls. They would have outfits that were made out of more expensive fashion doll left overs. I had a few that wore some Micheal Jackson doll clothes. One had a "Thriller" jacket. They were cheap and the heads would fall off. | Mar 19, 2015 |  | |
| 2105 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think, even with these "dollar store" toys, you still get what you pay for. Even if it's a dollar more than the other package, the more expensive item is likely made a little bit better. My typical cheap toy choices were things like plastic insects, silly putty, or army men. | Poor Kids Toybox | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2108 | Article | SegaFanatic | This was me as a kid! I ALWAYS wanted to shop at these places; cap guns and Power Rangers ruled the aisles! Great article, vkimo! | Poor Kids Toybox | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2110 | Article | Ruespieler | It's funny that you wrote this. A few months ago I was looking at the "cheap" toy aisle at a local department store, and was shocked by how little had changed. It really did bring me back, 90% of the toys there would have been right at home in my toy box, more than 30 years ago. Everything else in toys is different, but not that aisle. An you're right, the dollars earned on those same molds must be in the hundreds of millions of dollars by now. Has to be some kind of record. | Poor Kids Toybox | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2128 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Brought back some memories here. One town over from where I grew up was the first time I experienced the joys of the $1.99 Store (yep, they used to get an extra dollar out of us and call it a deal). My favorite items were these orange guns that you could actually cock and shoot foam yellow bullets out of. I convinced all my buddies to get their parents to take them there and gear up so we could have shoot outs in my friend's living room. They were the best toy guns I ever owned. | Poor Kids Toybox | Mar 21, 2015 | |
| 2094 | Article | Vaporman87 | For me, I look back on the 90's as two parts. The first part being the early 90's (1990 to the end of 1992). This part very much felt (and I still recall it as) like an extension of the 80's. I think that is mainly because I was still in high school during those years. However, I think there is some truth in saying that much of the culture, from music to television to even the words we spoke, remained relevant. I see those years as being ALMOST as golden as the 80's. Everything after 1992 I see as a transition period. Not only for me, but for pop culture in general. A period of transition from the 80's and what they were all about, to the 2000's and what they were all about. These were the years that spawned the internet after all. But even our musical tastes, the advent of computer graphics and their extensive use in film, the cartoons being watched and their focus on nonsensical humor as opposed life lessons, all of this was in a process of change. I don't know that I see that period as having it's own identity as much as I see at as growing pains for popular culture as it would become in the new millennium. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 18, 2015 | |
| 2098 | Article | OldSchool80s | Agree with Vaporman on both counts. I have some favorite movies from the late-90s, but other than that... I guess it all depends on your age | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2099 | Article | ThatDudeintheHoodie | Agreed on that. But since I was born in 91 I experienced the late 90s | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2102 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Interesting overview of a decade. You are about the same as as my niece, so when you mentioned Wishbone I remember watching that with her at age 4 or so (keep in mind, I was only 12 or 13). I used to call him "Fishbone" just to mess with her. I loved when Ghost Writer would follow, definitely more my style. I was never fooled by the shows that tried to make learning "fun" like Bill Nye or Beakman. At least Mr. Wizard was as boring as any science teacher, so you knew what you were getting. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2104 | Article | Mr Magic | I think Kurt Cobain had something to do with flannel shirts being cool. I miss the Nabisco Thing, btw. What made the 90s great for me was playing Sega Genesis and watching Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network every day. Yep, it was a special time. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
