Following up on our recent video, where we looked at the 1982 Canadian Tire Toy Parade Flyer.

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

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.

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.
