Here’s another wonderful Toy Newspaper Circular from the good people at Toys R Us, this time it’s from this weekend 41 years ago (ok I timed that part). A lot of people don’t know that Toys R Us was around in the 1960s but it’s hard to deny this kind of evidence.<\/p>\n

It’s a cool trip back to the toys of yesteryear and while some things have changed, others really haven’t all that much.<\/p>\n

Lots of memorable classics such as G.I. Joe, Barbie, and the ever-popular Fisher-Price Little People.<\/p>\n

In the late 60’s Hasbro switch G.I. Joe from a soldier to an adventurer, these ’69 “Adventures of G.I. Joe” sets were only sold briefly and have since become very desirable on the secondary marketplace. A year later G.I. Joe became part of the “Adventure Team”, the rest is history.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
