It’s time once again to be whisked back to a simpler time, one that was dominated by “Mom and Pop” toy chains and the wonderful, almost chaotic way toys were distributed. Vintage Toy Store Shots Eleven is different from previous entries in that it features only images from 1979, where we are DEEP into an […]
I`m slow motion running to this house…
It`s nothing to see multi cultural toys today but Shindana was truly a pioneer. I love finding ads like this.

I had more reader contribution photos but a thumb drive failure caused me to lose all files. Fortunately, my pal Doug sent this to me yesterday and I can think of no better shot to end October. That’s Doug as Godzilla and it’s really fitting, as he’s the guy who helped me score this toy last […]

Above is a snippet from a 1980 Toys R Us flyer that will appear on the site before Christmas some time. I’ve been trying to find these guys on Canadian issue cards because that’s how I […]
I know I’ve done a piece on the 1978 SSP Catalog (although I have no memory of doing it), I kind of glossed over one of the cooler offerings that year. That being the Monster hot rods, all of which look like Universal Monsters but did Universal get a penny, Nooooo Sireeee they did not. […]
