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!

He's just one of the residents at this massive collectioon of vintage toys, games, playsets, and comics.

There are so many action figures hanging around, some of them double as decor!

You'll find representatives of some of the most popular franchises of the 80s and 90s - many of which were huge collector's items at the time.

Before you leave, make sure to stop by the extensive collection of comic back issues from the era.

There are even some vintage humor mags here, which should be a fascinating blast from the past.

Of course, time keeps moving forward - so you might be seeing some items from the late 90s and early 2000s here soon!

Have you visited Tinkerbeee's in Allentown? Let us know all the throwback swag you picked up at this retro toy shop in New Jersey? The business keeps a low profile online, relying heavily on word-of-mouth, but the Facebook page of Tinkerbeee's has lots of photos of all the latest acquisitions. Allentown is a town worth visiting in its own right - it's one of the most historic towns in New Jersey. And if you're in the area, you're only a few miles away from the Hampton Inn and Suites Robbinsville, a perfect place to recharge for the night before you get back on the road.
