At 0:17 the lady on the left is holding Omega Supreme!!! xD But look at those prices, back than everything was so cheap. Now a days it's just sad how toys are going up price.
The guy who wrote and performed it, was a working musician in the area. Around 1987 he did a show at CK Center in Springfiled for our handicapped clients. His big encore was when he played and sang the Kiddie City song! The guys just went nuts!
Yes the Roo mascot was KayCee and KayCee was female. She had a baby Roo too, but I'm drawing a blank on the kids name. They came into existance in the 80's as Kiddie City tried hard to get back on a profit track with Big Old Toys R Us kicking ass.
as far as woolworth goes, I don't know about the rest of you, but the one we had here in eastern PA was a pretty ratty/smelly old store that had a thrift shop feel. I admit, I don't remember that much about 1986, but this commercial makes it seem like a store that's a serious contender in the toy market.
I remember this commercial...Lionel Kiddie City and Children's Palace jingles let you know every year it was time for the man in the big red suit to come visiting...

Technically Woolworth is still in business as Foot Locker and Champs Sports.
