Not sure if anyone is interested but I have had this all these years.

The Video Catalog

In 1990, when Child World Inc. was on its last legs, it produced a video catalog in time for Christmas of 1990, advertising the toys it sold, with child actors talking about the toys, including systems and games from Sega and Nintendo. Since Child World's demise, the video has become quite rare; however it is relatively affordable due to its obscurity. One of the child actors featured on the video was a pre-fame Lacey Chabert.

It runs 35 Minutes and features dozens and dozens of commercials from the 1988-1990 period. It was the first tape I remember owning. Strange because I don't remember the toy store at all. I know it was next to a Chucke Cheeses though, the location has been vacant in Pittsburgh for a long long time. I go past it everytime I am up there.

Anyway, if anyone wants a copy it is all ready to go.

There used to be Children's Palace near where I live. It's a Comp USA now, but the building is basically still the same, shaped like a castle.

I used to love Child World. They had all sorts of imported toys that you'd pay a fortune for at a toy convention, but there they were, for $1 or a little more. Great store.

1990? Wow, I didn't realize it's been so long ago.

I couldn't find a website or logo or picture or anything from the store and since I had so many requests for this here are some pictures from it.
