I was there in the early aughts and I loved it! I remember being so excited. I have a couple of the mugs from the store (I can’t remember what else I got), but I’ve always coveted one of the baseball shirts.
Hey Square, that's awesome! I'm really happy you had the opportunity to check it out for yourself. If you ever want to share those and tell us your story, be sure to get in touch with us!
If its any consolation, I hear the store was incredibly expensive to shop at! But yeah all the plush toys are amazing in these photos, and there's something very charming about how these old official plush toys look!
Those were the days, weren't they? So much rare merchandise on display, the wonderful window displays and best of all, it looked as if *every* Pokemon up to that point were present all around the store. Every Pokemon is valid. Thanks for sharing another trip to the past!
Thanks for the comment Stephen, and you're quite right! Every Pokémon is valid, and PCNY looked like it had every single one of them up until that point. I wish I could have attended it myself when I was growing up, but at least through these stories and photographs, I can still experience it!
This is such a special issue!! Thank you SO SO MUCH to Tatton for sharing his pictures and stories about PCNY. I wanted to go there so badly when it was still around, but there was no way I could make it happen. It's truly incredible to have such high-quality pictures from the store to let us see what it would've been like to visit. The PCNY Magical Clock is my holy grail of collecting, and to see a picture of so many of them, especially on super sale, is mind-boggling. Some of the pictures include merch that I have never seen before too, so now I will be on the hunt haha!
Hi FlammableLizard, and thanks for your comment! The photographs are absolutely incredible, aren't they? I was blown away by the quality of them, which are likely some of the best that have ever been seen before!
Pokemon mini!! Love that thing, my original one died but I got a new one last year, the smoochum (purple) one with puzzle collection. Miss the other games though. All these pictures are great it really takes me back :)
Thanks for the comment, Taliax! The Pokémon Mini was awesome and I am so happy I was able to get one. Although I think it would have been super special to have bought one from PCNY!
Great photos! Wooper is the BEST!!!
Thanks for that, Yannatoko! Wooper certainly has its fans for sure!

I want the Marrill plush. XD I want the whole store actually. I wish I lived near Dad so I could go to NYC (he lives in Buffalo) lolol
