I realized I haven’t documented completing the glow-in-the-dark trinity of Space Sword, Space Shield, and Space Trooper Helmet by Toy Box Inc.

Meant to cash in on Star Wars, these wonderful toys were somehow better than what Kenner offered in terms of lightsabers.

I had the shield and sword as a kid (via @canadiantire), and they were the best, but I never got that helmet. My pal @peterjoek gifted me one this fall, and well, it’s about time I showed them off!

Here is the Video I did on these wonderful toys!

I thought it would be fun to share some of the images from the flyer and the old favourites inside.

1982 Canadian Tire Toy Parade Flyer.

Remco Mini Monsters were sold in Canada by Irwin Toys

It wouldn’t be 1982 without Strawberry Shortcake.

PAC MAN

Man these Coleco mini Pac-Man machines were all I thought about.

1982 Canadian Tire Toy Parade Flyer.

Space Lego was and is amazing.

When you’re this good, you get your own Tonka Truck.

Smurfs were white hot in 1982.

I always wondered if that Annie merch sold well, there sure was a whole bunch.

I wasn’t playing with Adventure People much in 1982 but they still rocked.
