Blockbuster's failure to buy Netflix and Kodak's failure to push digital cameras are easily two of the biggest corporate mistakes of all time.

Blockbuster, Toys R Us and classic arcades. Places that made our childhoods Awesome. Gone but never forgotten.

Circuit City, The Wiz, Sam Goody , Coconuts Woolworth, Modells, were the joints! At the music stores, they let you listen to tracks before you buy the album, celebrity meet & greets.... oh what joy!

Radio Shack was so cool. They had parts and supplies you couldn't find anywhere else and I don't remember them ever not having something that I needed.

I’ll always have nostalgic memories of Blockbuster.

I worked at the Tower Records store in the U District in Seattle all through college ('81-85_). LOVED that job...had a great manager, awesome co-workers, and basically got paid to talk about music with fellow audiophiles. That was an great time to be involved anywhere in the music scene, but especially in Seattle. Used to get a lot of comp'ed tickets. Saw pretty much every grunge and garage band on their way up..Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam. Motley Crue and Queensryche even played in store....Man this brings back memories..

Toy's R Us maybe gone but it'll never be forgotten. That store was a staple of a lot of our childhoods.

RIP,K.B. Toys, Blockbusters,Tower Records. Gone But Never forgotten.

I never forget about Blockbuster, it was probably one of the big video rental stores, it never moved on to streaming services, that is how it lost out.

i miss payless... loved the shoes, and the prices...

I miss Woolworth’s so much. During the summer, my mom and I would take the city bus downtown and go shopping at Woolworth’s. We would eat lunch at their lunch counter. My husband a I bought our first washer and dryer at Fry’s. And before stores like Batteries Plus, you could find virtually any battery for anything at Radio Shack. If they didn’t have it in stock, they would order it for you.

I didn’t go to Tower records that much but here in Detroit we had this local record shop that was black owned that everybody went to. I feel sorry for the people who never got to experience that feeling of going to a record shop and buying that new cd. It’s like a feeling I can’t really describe. You really just felt like a new person. It was also a very exclusive feel knowing you had that new album that people didn’t have yet. Everything wasn’t at the touch of your fingers like it is now.

19:30 When I was in high school, (1963-1966) I was into Ham radio and there were two big companies that published huge catalogs of every possible component needed for the hobby. They were Radio Shack (the name says it all) and Allied Electronics. I can still remember the thrill of leafing through the catalogs looking at and lusting for the various components.

Sam Goody was part of Musicland...and Musicland was bought out, or "merged" with Best Buy in 2001. That's what created my job with Musicland's advertising department...and ultimately eliminated my job, too.

What I miss the most is VCRs!! Some of my favorite movies are on VHS!! While I've been able to get the DVD versions of some of them, I haven't been able to find the DVD version of others like Kelly's Heroes, Mother, Jugs and Speed, Carwash, and other classics! I also miss Blockbuster as I used to work for a company that catered to them here in Canada! My job was New Store Coordinator. I was responsible for making sure new stores had everything they needed. Fond memories to be sure!

Unbelievably, the last Blockbuster in Bend is a big tourist destination/attraction. We lived there for 15 years and once there were even two stores. When we moved to the east coast, even we rented one last movie, bought memorabilia and took tons of photos. So corny, but we’re happy we did.

Don't forget how Compact Discs (CD-ROMS) replaced the floppy, then DVD-ROMS replaced CD-ROMS, then Blu-ray discs replaced DVD's then USB flash drives, Solid state drives and cloud storage pretty much replaced them all.

As someone who’s worked for a company that no longer exists, buyers beware. When a company goes under (at least in this day and age) most of the time their intellectual property is also sold off. So these companies that are “only online” now are most likely just using a name, logo, customer contact info etc that they bought. They may look the same, but they’re often completely different owners with similar products.

I still have my Blockbuster video card from 1991, had your picture on it. I'm 52 now.
