Man, when CP was in business.... whoo! You walked in the door and BAM! The Wall of Joes. 15' high 20 pegs wide, 10 deep. And all for the picking.
In 1988, my local WM got a pallet of Skystrikers in, and what a day that was. I still have the 3 I bought. Good times. |

But the Skystriker 5 years after production began?!?......wow....that's amazing. The 10 year old kid that I was in 1988 would have completely freaked out if he'd seen that at Wal-Mart that year....the Skystriker among the Crystal Balls, Battle Force 2000's, and Desert Foxes....that would've been amazing to me as a kid. No wonder you bought three of them. I wonder what happened?! How did they have a whole pallet of Skystrikers in '88? I wonder if they were somehow lost in the back for a few years. Wow.

The good ol days. Hopefully, it'll catch on again and stores will show more love to Joes.

This picture has been in circulation for a few years now. If I remember correctly the store is Best or Service Merchandise and the picture was taken right before the grand opening. The year was 1984.

I recently came across this picture while searching Google. I didn't see where it has ever been posted here. If you want to make a game of it, let's see how many products everyone can name that may be seen in the pic. I will abstain so the rest may enjoy. Also, if anyone has similar pictures please put them up!
