Who here’s an 80s or 90s kid? A lot has been written about how these were the best decades to be a kid, but there’s one element that comes up again and again – this was the golden age for toy and comic collecting! I got into the latter when Superman died fighting Doomsday, and you know I had to find out what happened next! And then there were all the toy collections – this was back when action figures and playsets were everyday toys geared towards kids, instead of collector’s items. Who could forget Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Attack Pack, Garbage Pail Kids, oddballs like Biker Mice from Mars and Food Fighters, and so many more? Well, they don’t just exist in our memories – they exist in Tinkerbeee’s Toy and Comic Shop in Allentown, the best retro toy shop in New Jersey! Let’s jump in the Way-Back Machine and take a look at this little slice of nostalgia heaven.

How do you know you're at Tinkerbeee's, found in a quiet Allentown storefront? Pikachu will greet you!
