Exciting Toys from the Star Wars Series

This nice ad from Zayres (wish i had the whole flyer) is from Christmas 1983 and I’m guessing by that point, I had jumped off the wonderful train that was Star Wars.  I still read the Marvel comic mind you but I honestly don’t recognize or remember that mini-rig or the plush Ewoks at all. […]

Mom’s strike back

I’d like to go back in time and change my mum’s subscription from “Canadian Living” to “Woman’s Day”, it seems like the “Cool mom” magazine. Like our Facebook Page Check out our Instagram Get the expanded digital edition of Rack Toys here.

Le Star War

While I’ll freely admit that modern Brian is totally “Star Wars’d Out”, whenever I see those original 12, I’m totally 7 years old again and I hope that never changes. Happy Friday!
